i had a 3000grafts fue hair transplant done 16 months ago in Turkey. I was told when i had it done i was a suitable candidate because i had really thick hair and lots of donor supply. i was happy to get it done on these terms and because i was receding.

 

when i turnt up in turkey i was warmly welcomed when i turnt up at the clinic, i then sat down with doctor and he showed me hair line examples of past patients that would fit my face. all past ops looked really good and natural. i explained to him what i wanted a natural hairline that didn't show i was receding. he drew me a hairline which he explained was best for my face. not knowing to much on shapes of hairlines apart from just wanted to fill my receding areas up i went along with this. before i went into surgery the next morning, i asked my english translator if my hairline looked alright and assured me it was all good as i doubts on the way it looked i went along with it - i had the surgery.

 

after 2 months post op i noticed my left temple area was far back to my right side so i contacted the clinic to ask why. they said i needed to wait till the 8 month mark to see if it it grows out.

 

i waited to the 8 month mark no change. doubting each month on the way the hairline and temples looked.

 

hair started to fill my frontal and temples slowly after that.

 

after the hair filled and started to become dense. i was in my bathroom one evening as i had the light on i looked in the mirror and i could see the light shining down on to my scalp through the new hair transplants hair which looked really thin and wiry which i could count individual hairs when having hair slicked back also i could see a round redish circle when the new hairs were transplanted. i contacted the clinic and sent photos, they assured me everything is ok with hair transplant and that i have nothing to worry about also i should wait till 15 months mark for hair to mature.

 

15 month mark came i looked in the mirror my hairline still looked un-natural and too straight oddly wonky making head look square, my left sided temple is further back to my right side, temples both look oddly designed looking un-neutral, hair cant cope against harsh light when its not flat, i can see a round circle on forehead. hair is unmanageable to style as new hair looks way different to original - just not happy.

 

i have contacted clinic at the 16 month which took time to finally get hold off as all numbers were not getting connected , finally managed to get through to english translator through whatsapp to ask if they had seen my email at 16 month mark and what they think, they assured me everything is ok and that my hair transplant was one of the good results coming from the clinic.

 

i feel upset at this current stage as i have had to go through 16 months looking like ive had a serious illness to then see my results which im not too happy with.

 

pictures don't show the true reflection of my points as i recently found out pictures do hair transplants justice in terms of looking more natural.

 

i just feel spending ?7k on a hair transplant with a recommended clinic with one of the best doctors from this site i should at least be able to pleased with my new hairline and slick my hair back, instead due to the new transplant hair with look un-natural and thin i am unable to style how i want it.

 

am i expecting too much?

No you are not. After paying that much you are entitled to atleast this much. You should really take some action against this. It seems like they strung you along and now you have been hoodwinked.

I always have had this but it has gotten worse these days, I want to treat it. So, is there any effective treatment beside topical steroids?

Hey sheraz104!

To share my experience. It all started last year when I was in final year of MBA. I was studying at Pailan College of Management & Technology. I stayed in girls hostel. It was not well maintained. Almost a decade ago it was painted. So, by the time I reached my final sem it looked like a hunted place. Though we were provided with individual bed and cupboard, we friends shared everything. Only once or twice a month we use to clean. That was all because of monthly inspection. One day I found my head to be itchy. I didn't mind much because I thought that it might be due to dirt. On next day, when I washed my head I noticed a huge hair fall. On concerning doctor, I found it to be seborrheic dermatitis. The main cause for it was lack of cleanness and sharing things like comb, soap or any personal thing in that matter. Right now, I'm very thankful to Dr Anand Roy (dermatologist) of Fortis kolkata who recommended this seborrheic dermatitis solution. I recovered within two weeks. I found it to be very effective and didn't notice any side effects. Apart from Anand's suggestion, I've tried home remedies like coconut oil, oatmeal, aleo vera and honey but these are not effective for quick recovery. I'll recommend you to try it out. Share the results.

I don't think sweating will much effect overall results.

How long did you use? What was your medication routine?
