Regimen:

 minoxidil foam once per day

Finasteride

Dutasteride (every other day)

7500 biotin

 MSM

Saw Palmetto

Probably no point taking the saw palmetto if your already taking fin & dut.

I find it worrying that the clinic did not show you how to do this prior to you leaving.... What clinic did you use??

Each clinic usually has a slightly different method. You should ask the clinic you used.
Soaking in the shower and washing lightly with baby shampoo helps.

Nice. I also went to dr. Keser in 10 June. 2000 Grafts and when I'm looking at you I'm wondering how it's gonna be in my case.

And +1 for jonnyalex when I went to dr. Keser first thing he did to me is to put his hands in my hair and he said: "good". I was like .. okay? That man doesn't joke around, you pay and he delivers good stuff, not playing around, no gimmicks.

I went for 4 days, 500 grafts each day and i must agree with you S, the anesthesia hurts like a motherfucker man. 

Anyway, Happy growing, Mr. S.
 

Thanks man. Will you be posting your journey on here ?   

Update 5 month with wet hair just out the shower combed back.

Just a few days shy of the 5 month mark photos taken with no product in hair.  

Feels so good to start getting my confidence back and and feel like my old self again. Been going out a lot more  and have ditched the caps! best money i’ve ever spent! 

I'd go Dr. D based on paitents results online.

Who did the previous transplant / how many grafts?

Only used the foam so can't really comment, but i need apply a fair amount and alot get stuck in my hair.

Can anybody shed any light if its ok to apply minoxidil with product in your hair before bed? (You get home late from a night out and don't have time to be showering before bed )

I think I once saw a video of Dr Keser where he first extract like 20 grafts and then immediately implants them. Goes back to extracting and again implants directly. Very little time out of the body. Could explain very early growth. If I wanted high success rate that is what I would do. 

Can you confirm or did I just make this up?

No he extracted around 400-600 grafts per day and had around a 20 min break before implanting. I believe his method is to not put too much shock into the area in one session, and let the scalp recover a little before repeating this process. The only downside to spreading the procedure over multiple days is the dam anastheic injections every day as they hurt like a bitch! Even more so when your head is swollen from the previous days. But makes perfect sense from a medical perspective.

I agree. In the 8 months i took it. It seemed to improve the overall hair quality but no real improvment on the hairline area probably lost some ground - NW3

If your not experiencing any side effects maybe just try reducing the dosage to every other day or .5mg every otherday. Reduced sex drive could just be an age related issue. if you’ve been on 6 years with no issues i think you are probably safe.

I agree that sometimes it's the brand. I know several women who liked a birth control pill. Their pharmacy gave them generics, and they felt the difference. Even though it was the same chemicals, there was a noticeable difference. 

To be fair i used a generic from boots (the largest uk pharmacy) for the first month no issues. Then orderd 3 months more from the same pharmacy. They messed my order up and gave me the branded propecia by mistake wish i was pretty cuffed with as i only paid for generic. Took that or the 3 months was fine (actually had sombody say my hair was looking thicker and they had no idea i was taking it) then i found out i could get generic online(actavis brand) for a fraction of the cost of the boots generic... took that again for another 3-4 months noticed more shedding although this may have been in my head because i was never one to count hair fall until this point. As i still felt no sides and thought i was losing ground started adding some dutasteride twice a week felt some ache and and stopped after just 2 tablets of dutasteride. Carried on with the generic (actavis brand) sides started to creep up...

the may all be in my head but it does seem strange none the less

I voted no.

But i had high hopes for the cloning follicles thing. I mean they managed to clone a whole bloody sheep in the 90s. Why cant they manage just some hair follicles 20+ years later!

I’ve been very impressed with Dr. Demirsoy results of late. Would be my choice for sure within that price bracket.

Has anybody got any sucess stories on this subject ?

 Also, has anybody gots sides from Finasteride but no sides with Dutasteride or vice versa. 

If so please share your experiences below. 

I went to Dr Keser . I believe Kaan worked with Keser at some point.

I belive his clinic is in Ankara right? I travelled to another Clinic in Ankara in January.
I was pretty nervous aswell. I found the travelling bit hard as i travelled alone so i would definitely reccomend travelling with sombody if you can. If you can't I'd take some valium or xanax to ease the nerves ( somthing i wish i did😂)
Also, i found it tricky staying in Ankara is nobody speaks any english as its not tourist part of Turkey.

I flew from the UK and there are no direct flights so had to change at Istanbul. I diden't leave myself enough time to transfer (2 hours) the international terminal and the domestic termials are quite far away with plenty of quees and secruity so i reccomend having at least 3 hours to transfer as i was sprinting to through the airport like a twat worrying i was going to miss the plane.

You have choosen a good Dr that performs the procedure himself so i wouldn't worry 👌

Make sure you update us on here your expericane afterwards👍

Has the Dr at least offered a refund? I would seek legal advise & see a few well known ethical doctors, theres some great surgeons out there. I'm sure somebody will be able to sort you out.

Im also curious about this. Some docs seem to just transplant to the bald areas on say a nw3 and some will transplant the into whole frontal third.

Looks great! Your hair seems to be holding up very well👍

How old are you and are you taking any medication ? finasteride, minox?

Looks like you’ve continued to lose more hair. Are you taking any meds to reduce further loss?

It's held up pretty good considering you were headed to a high norwood pre surgery. Finasteride has served you well for sure.  Ever though of another procedure to add some extra density?

I recommend sticking to fin.  Sincerely. 

But the transplant looks to be coming along very nicely. 

I didn't exactly stop taking it out of choice... I will let things settle for a good few months see if everything goes back to normal and try to resume some kind of dosage to see how i get on. Thanks 👍🏼

Wow, it looks to be ahead of schedule and the probability is that this is going to be a great result.  It already looks good at this stage.  Again, was this done with complete manual extraction?  Were any motorized drills used to extract grafts or was it a manual punch?  Thanks.

Thanks man. Yes it was all done manually and the Dr performed the entire procedure from start to finish.

Not sure. Do you have new bath towels?  Look like it is not from your  body. 

Mystery solved. I have a new sofa made from a black velet material just rubbed my hands on it to confirm🙈😂
