If this growth is just your native hair and hair from your 1st ht growing back then that’s a good sign to me. 🤞🏻

Nice results!

Hey dude Growth progress is starting to look good siince your the last couple of weeks update. 👍🏻

You’re disappointed and concerned about shedding and density at just 1 month post-op? That makes no sense, you’re just at the starting point.

Very nice! Looks like you did not suffer any bad shock loss to the previous ht grafts they have grown back nicely and donor looks good for such a short cut. 👍🏻

Thank you!

True, sad but true.

Thanks 🙂 I agree with your comment and many guys these days just fall instantly for marketing scams, cheap promises and shallow celebrity. On the other hand, and not to sound harsh and insensitive BUT the onus is on the individual to do their proper research prior to ANY surgery and if those that do just jump into procedures based on quick gratification for cheap promises then they have coming to them what they traded and bargained for. It’s sad but it’s just reality, blind ignorance is a big enabler and contributor to self-inflicted damage and you can’t continually watch over everyone whom ignore warning signs and red flags because they wanted a quick cheap fix.

He’ll be at the grand point to “ensure” it’s a success....I guess he doesn’t know how hair transplants work...sign me up! Also....18 concurrent surgeries a day....sign me up ASAP! 😂

Very nice! Progress is looking great! 👌🏻

Great! Thanks for the clarification!

Gotchya,...although when I saw your post op photos after the procedure there looks to be many grafts placed in your vertex/crown area, that’s why i wondered.

Nice and natural looking result, well done!

Truly fantastic and impressive results dude, both Ht’s, congrats! Have your temple points blended in with your native hair at this point in the similar fade hair cut where it looked obvious the transition? Although...the transition looks great with your longer hair. I am thinking that I may need a little temple/temple triangle work at some point and have some concern with the blending in. Thanks!

Hi You will probably go through another new growth phase in months 7-9 so don’t frett just yet, I still see some new fine hairs that have newly grown here and there myself and from what I’ve seen Dr Gable does some great work.

Your first photo of 4 hours after surgery looked to me a little concerning since the grafts looked a bit higher out of the scalp but everything looks normal looking at your 12-days post photo. Good luck!

I went back into the gym after 3-weeks to start up again but with light weight lifting. I believe it’s because of any perspiration that happens when working out that may be deterimental to the grafts at that early stage.

7-nights sounds reasonable to me, and if your are close than good, my flight was 10-hours back to the USA so I wanted the scabs to be fully healed and off before I traveled back home.

You’re welcome! It is nice to be able to grow my hair out and style it back, i hadn’t done so in over 15 years! Yeah, I agree the self-confidence boost is a big factor in my decision to just get it done given all my fears and worries and like the saying goes No risk No reward. It’s been nice being able to try out different styles but it can be tricky as the new hair grows it does need time to settle in and blend in, even for me but the best part is not caring how messy the hair looks now and having to look for a hat in a panic before you can come in contact with people haha. Yes, I took and still do, several supplements: -MSM -Biotin -Multi-Vitamin Gummies -Nettle Root Extract -Clean Grass-Fed Whey Protein for Post workout shakes.

Thank you! I am! Im honestly not sure and don’t remember my hair caliber thickness number but I’ll look to see if I can find it and will post it. By the way, good luck with your progress! I’ll be following it 👍🏻

I’m not sure how to edit the title of my thread but if @Melvin-Moderator or @Bill - Managing Publisher can and would like to then by all means add ASMED or Dr Erdogan to my title.

Thanks! Yeah, looking at my pre procedure photos I submitted last May, not even a year ago, I see how far my progress has come and am happy and thankful, I’m also realistic and agree with you, the crown for my area of loss needed many more grafts but I’m glad that Dr Erdogan chose to concentrate on my frontal area and use the best available grafts for my frontal third. If I get more growth and improving from here on out it will be a bonus and if I think I might need it i would not hesitate to have another procedure to top things off even with my fear of needles and air travel haha

Yes, this was exactly my thinking and reasoning, surgery is surgery and it can complicate things if you just rush off for home in my opinion. I stayed in Istanbul 7 extra nights on top of the 5-nights so close to 2 weeks, the extra cost at the Radisson Blue was worth it to me, met lots of great people also going through the procedure and did a little tourism.

Hi I think you have further progress to come so you should give it some more time, I too didn’t see adequate density especially on my left hairline side at 7months, but now at 9 months it has much improved. Good luck! Here I’ll post for you a photo of my 7th month photo and you can see the lack of thickness and density on my left side.

Mine own.
