No point thinking about it now, put it to the back of your mind and concentrate on carrying our the post-op care to the best of your ability.

there are a lot of posts with the same doctors mentioned and questions, worth searching for

I too have this problem right now is this normal? I’m guessing so as I’m not alone?

It will move down your face and disappear is a day or so, dont worry.

High blood pressure? Get on Loniten (oral minoxidil) it was made for lowering blood pressure but also gives great hair growth!

Can they not reschedule you if you get the blood pressure down?

You know as well as I do itll be like a politician answering it. What's he gonna say? Yeh the results are sh!t my techs are sh!t and i need to reduce the amount of surgeries and have a bigger role. Come on mate. We dont want an explanation from dr koray. We simply want him taken off the recommendation on this. He consistently produces sub par results, no explanation is going to help repair these patients all he will say is come back for a touch he is a disgrace and I hope he is reading this . He is ruining peoples'mental health and the owners of the forum who have him recommended also take that responsibility.

Well said

very good

Is spraying saline water on recipient area for every 2 hours for approximately 7 days is right thing to do? I have done multiple hair transplants.  So  I asked the doctor who did the latest hair transplant if I should do that as it was recommended by previous doctor he was totally against it and said it could have adverse result.

My doctor also recommended against this, gave me the option to if I wished however they said it appeared to increase the chances of spots appearing on the recipient. I chose not to based upon their advice.

I'm off Finasteride 7 years and have still not fully recovered from the side effects.

How has it affected you?

How's it going, any updates?

After reading that, I'm now grateful that I chose a non-recommended surgeon (at least on here), but one based on the quality of output and how the surgeon works with his patients. 

I think the idea of a website profiting off of incompetent surgeons, who are having enormously damaging effects on many people's lives, turns my stomach to the point of gastroseizure. 

Absolutely! Concerns of another 'recommended' surgeon's work (Bhatti) were also raised (not by me) on a number of threads after terrible results yet the members posting their results were attacked by recipients of the sponsorship funding.

After reading this on the main website, unfortunately I doubt the concerns raised of 'recommended surgeons' will make a difference...

"To support the costs of operating and promoting our community the physician contributes a monthly fee to sponsor this community."

That tells me all I need to know about the recommended surgeons on this site.

Agreed

NO ONE who has had FUE can shave it to a zero, or as low as this guy without the scars showing. Very silly thing to suggest.

I've seen many FUE posts with people shaving their sides this short...I will also be doing so in a few weeks.

They look like the donor scabs (dried blood) which are different than recipient scabs. Plaster your donor with moisturiser and see if they come off.

very cheap, keep us updated 👍

Hi, 

I think the best atm in Turkey are Keser, Kaan and HLC in terms of the results I've seen and technique used.

If you are interested in more low cost options with higher assistant work  then I would look at Demirsoy or Cinik as they seem to produce pretty good results for the price. 

Haven't really heard of any of the clinics you've mentioned though. 

 

 

Demirsoy does everything except the final implantation, hard pushed to find the same setup elsewhere.

aloe vera seems to be the recommendation, I would imagine anything with skin healing properties is fine for the donor - especially at 6 weeks

I haven’t seen any patient posted results for Dr. Demirsoy, I’ve heard great things about Dr. Cinik and he was almost recommended by our community, but his packages go against our values. That said, Bhatti and Yaman are both very solid surgeons.

 Never take what one person says as gospel, not even mine. Do your own research, spend sometime on our forum and look up real patient reviews. No body is going to give you the answers you need to research for yourself.

Strange, I used this forum to view and search for results of Demirsoy patients.

Bhatti does not have a good reputation on other forums and I've seen some terrible results on here. The way his results are defended by the moderators lead me to believe that this forum is in some way affiliated to Bhatti, which I find disheartening.

Who told you to start removing scabs after 3 days? The Doctor?  Never heard the scabs causing pain.

Most do believe you can not hurt anything after 3 days but there is always some caution and conservatism by the clinics.  It is typically told to patients to wait about 7 days before returning to normalcy.  You can then get in the shower and let everything soak with warm water.  Then start massaging with the tips of your fingers.  Some of the crusts will be persistent but in the ensuing days they'll come off as well.  We are talking, of course, of the recipient area.  As for the donor, you can start massaging gently from day 1.

As far as scarring goes, realize the apertures made are quite small and, when healed, leave such a tiny scar it is virtually undetectable.  As far as the donor, it will depend on the type of procedure.  They all leave scars but it all depends on the instrumentation, graft numbers, etc.

Yes the Doctor's liaison, it was news to me also. I have used some moisturiser today and wiped my donor with a cloth, seemed to remove a large number but I think I will give the others some time.

I was advised to remove the scabs from my donor area after 3 days to reduce pain. Im at day 5 and most have came off but there are still some remaining, should I try and get rid of these asap? I hadn't heard of this before and I am slightly concerned about scarring. Thanks

I had it last week, 4265 grafts - I'll make a post down the line when I've some progress under my belt. One thing I found helpful was looking for people who had similar hairloss to myself and viewing their results from the Dr to see realistic expectations. 

Demirsoy mainly has German/Austrian clients i'm told so there are a lot of posts on non english speaking forums, for example:

https://www.alopezie.de/foren/transplant/index.php?t=thread&frm_id=31&SQ=&

Everyones situation is different, definitely do a lot of research on doctors and take it all in before making your decision.

To summarise, I followed the advice given and had no problems with scalp condition or bleeding. My initial concern was my flaky scalp which appeared to be completely down to the minoxidil as my scalp was in good/normal condition prior to surgery. Some points of note:

• I stopped all vitamins and minoxidil about 15 days before.
• I did some scalp exercises, my scalp was moving quite freely anyway.
• No seafood for 14 days before (I wouldn't normal eat too much seafood).
• I had a few glasses of wine 4 days before which didn't have an effect (official guidance from Dr was no alcohol 3 days before).
• I took quite a lot of calcium on board through drinking milk.

Thanks all

shouldn’t a have said results I meant result* that’s the only one I can find which actually makes me think of going with him more than the others due to Yaman’s being quite bad poor growth results Can I ask you how you was in contact with demirsoy? Was it through WhatsApp or email?

Fair enough, I don't think it's that bad.

I made contact via email but believe they are currently closed for holidays. They have a very honest and ethical approach which speaks volumes from the posts and threads I've read.

Thanks mate I’m still none the wiser was looking into dr Yaman but seen 2 bad results but also some good results with bad donor scarring which worries me. Then was looking into demirsoy but he’s also got bad results and also I’ve reached out to him via email and no reply all others were quick to get back at me  thanks bud 👍🏼

Can you show me some of Demirsoy's bad results? I've seen quite a few from Bhatti recently but I think the threads have been removed now.

Cheers bud 👍🏼 The 2 I have narrowed it down to are demirsoy and bhatti just need to have a think on it I appreciate the help guys btw! 👌🏼

I believe Bhatti has a number of paid representatives on here. Good luck with your research!
