Background - I'm 40, I had 2000 graft FUT back in 2006 in US to repair my receding hairline. It was a good experience, but after 10 or more years, i’ve started loosing hair on my crown, so I decided to try and FUE to clean up and thicken my hairline, fill in my crown, and if possible try and hide the FUT scar.
After researching many options in Turkey, I took a suggestion of a turkish friend and chose the Institute of hair based in Istanbul as I was impressed with their results, experience and prices.
I went 1st week in December, and as someone who has had a FUT before and felt like I was on a conveyor belt, I have to say they were fantastic, I had 2 surgeons working on me, Elif and Mustafa who were super nice and very focused, so it took less time than I expected. The vibe was good in the room, I felt like I was with friends, this helped a lot over the 2 days of surgery as I felt comfortable with them.
The quality of the work surprised me and I believe they matched my natural density very well. It was clear to me they are very focused on getting it right, going the extra mile and not rushing. All in all I was well looked after and my brief stay in Turkey was a pleasant one. I'm currently 2 months in so here so here's some photos from Op date(dec 7th) til now. So far so good the redness is gone, my transplanted hair has mainly gone now as I was told, so i'm looking forward to 2-4 months when the new hairs grow again. I'll keep on posting as I go along, and questions fire away.
ps. Since op i'm on propecia, use aloe vera and coconut oil mix after showers to help heal the scalp and take msm supplement.
