Following this with interest as I am going back in May also due to density issues behind hairline 

Can you please post the before photos

I’m documenting my experience here without knowing what the result will be also I said I had 1000 grafts and u can see I start posting from the second day post op so u can see, there is nothing shady about my journey I don’t work or I’m affiliated with him,it’s just genuine 

 

Genuine : perhaps

how can anyone say it’s a brilliant result when they have no idea what your state was before surgery ? We’re you completely bald in transplanted areas ? 

Yes you have fantastic hair but it’s laughable anyone can say it’s a “brilliant result” when all we have are a few limited photos of you after surgery , and any developed photos from a distance !

@Uncle drew you should really change the title of this thread to “Dr. Kaan Pekiner FUE xxxx grafts xx/xx/2019”
Just so people looking for Pekiner’s results can easily search this forum and find your amazing result. 

Haha ! How can you say that when there are no before photos. I might as well post a photo of Brad Pit and tell you all I’ve had 5000 grafts! 

This will be my final update unless I touch up the result I already have. Thank you for all who have supported me through my neurotic adventure, there have been a few who have fed negative thoughts and a few who have continued to provide positive feedback. 

in essence, if i style my hair combed from left to right I can achieve the look (if not the reality ) of a full head of hair. 

Photos below are of me during a very sunny holiday in the Southern Hemisphere

i have showed post Hoar cut ( essential in my opinion ) and a couple in direct sunlight when I hadn’t styled my hair in a few days 

as something be else said, unless you style your hair you will be disappointed with the illusion!

I’ll throw this one out there ; a number of negative results posted on here by asmed are due to the fact they offer warranty . Draw your own conclusions . 

Was your hairline completely bald or just lacking density? 

It does look good but difficult to say for sure the quality as we don’t have before photos, photos are from a distance etc. 

Looks good and will be a lot more to come no doubt. 

how bald were you before surgery ? Appreciate you stated you would not post before photos until 12 months. I would also be interested in seeing you photos before your first surgery and after first surgery. 

What a result! Bet you have a spring in your step now.

our of interest, can you see scars on your beard where hair was taken? 

Looks good mate 

Do you have any photos pre op?

A question for the good folks on the forum: when do you think (or how far apart in time) do you think I took the following pictures (without looking back at my prior progress picture, because that would be cheating)?  Honest opinions please.

 

I would say one at 8 months and the other at 12-14? 

What makes you say that @John_Henry

You look great, dude.  Just out of curiosity, do you think you've seen any improvement since the 12 month mark?

Yes I believe I have in terms of thickening and naturalness . 

After 12 months I also learnt how to get my hair cut that matches my hair, and how to style it to get the best out of what I have.

Wrong. The area around the crown will take up to 18 months to fully mature. Thats a fact not an opinion.

I think it’s actually multi grafts that take longer to mature and those are used further back on the scalp 

Another photo with my hair at this length and under the word kind of light in my opinion (a spotlight)

boom 

I agreed with @CosmoKramer . Naturalness of the transplanted hair changed a lot after 12 months for me. The weak areas are still not as strong as the front but improved a lot and when hair is a little linger on top looks natural 

15 month 

Good day mate

You must be over the moon. Sometimes I think a little bit of not so dense makes it look more natural! 

Is IAHRS worth anything at all?

how are the Surgeons audited ? Are they re-audited once they change their working practices ? If they use techs; do the techs need to be audited to be part of the accredited clinic?

Axor

most people know about the risks of finasteride

. Appreciate you’re trying to help, but scaring people doesn’t help either. Let them make their own choice 

losing hair can make people depressed too 

14 months

it is nice having a hairline.

asmed have invited me back to take a look at the thin areas behind the hairline. I said I would wait until 18 months. 

To be honest, if the thin spot still bothers me at 18 month I will definitely go back . 

Really sorry to hear. How long will it take to clear?

Cheers Abi

think I need to keep contact with the clinic though. I spoke to them over the phone yesterday. They said they will wait a little more and will always take responsibility for their work. 

I’m not totally disappointed, nobody can call the result a disaster . It’s just that thin spot . I will cut my hair a little shorter sometime soon to see what it looks like then.

Just wait 3 months and decide either to take another surgery from a different clinic or just keep what you have.

At the end of the day, that's all you can do. Searching for weekly reassurance on here isn't going to achieve anything.

Thanks for the first paragraph.

you don’t have to come onto this thread if you don’t want. 

I wish there was this type of thread when I was doing my research. 

Hello sir

thank you for posting this . We have similar loss , similar graft numbers used and similar issues .

your photos look good , as do mine but the density issues meant you have to worry which way  the wind was blowing am I right ?

did you find that the Dr was a little rushed in the first session , but had more time in the second session? Did the dr still do the incisions ? 

Did you feel the result in one side was better than the other ? If so, which one? 

Finally , did they give any reason as to why the result wasn’t as good as they expected?

There’s another set of photos from my

morning jog.

appreciate people’s thought on what they think happened to the density on the right side - it’s the only part I’m not pleased with.

clinic say wait until 15 months , feels like they are moving the goal lists especially when they offer some people a touch up after 12. 

As you can see , I’m not being unreasonable , this is my hair when running , I shouldn’t have to sport a comb over at this stage . 

Look how good the left side hairline and temples are . In my eyes these areas are exceptional. I just want to know why the right side isn’t as good.
