@Lennney Glad everything is going well! I haven't checked back on the forum for sometime but I'm happy I did, your results so far are looking very good! It really does change the shape of your face. I just went through my procedure with Dr. Bhatti in late May.

Thanks for the quick response! Funny, Your situation almost exactly mirrors mine in that my S.O. is also adamant about going (which I understand) haha. I am also leaving out of LAX and will have about 2 days post op before I have to fly out. Was considering extending my stay but just wanted to be home ASAP. Hopefully that isn’t too difficult. Any other travel or really any general tips you have would be greatly appreciated. Also, did you get much attention from other travelers when you were headed back home? I just imagine walking through the airport with bandages on my head and people acting like I have some kind of contagious skin disease or something lol. Really like the hairline design btw and look forward to following your healing process!

So happy I found this post! Actually scheduled to see Dr. Bhatti later this year! Did you travel there by yourself and would you reccomend having someone go with you? Also, it sounds like you stayed in Chandigarh a few days post-op before leaving. In your experience, do you think you could leave 1-2 days post op without any issue?

Your 7 months results look great! I am around the same age and have a similar hairless pattern. From what I have seen so far, Dr. Erdogan has done some great work. Now I just need to figure out how I am going to afford a hair transplant lol ? Leading up to choosing Dr. Erdogan, were there any other HT Doctors that you were considering and why was he your ultimate choice?

@lukeyb1687 Just finding this post and I am amazed with your results! I am in Southern California as well and am doing as much research as I can regarding hair transplantation so I can plan for the future. Ive had consultations with HT Doctors here in the U.S.A and although these Doctors are very skilled, the cost was absolutely crazy! Much like you were, I am also very budget concious. At this point, unless I win the lottery, I am keeping an open mind about traveling abroad for the surgery. Being 10+ months post op, is there anything you regret about the surgery or is there anything you would change if you could go back in time?
