Bro it’s obvious the op is ignoring you. You’re kind of aggressively taking over his thread too. Email the clinic for your questions regarding the “bloody blood” and everything else. He’s just a patient, not a coordinator.

Well said bro big respect 

2 weeks post my hair transplant with Dr. Kaan pekiner in Ankara have lost around 70-80% of the hair so far I try to stay positive and hope my native hair and the previous transplanted hair will grow soon so there won’t be any signs of surgery other than that I’m back in the gym,eating good as always,drinking a lot of water and taking my supplements and my medications 

I did some blood test and stuff 2 weeks ago everything is fine with me but bear in mind 5mg is not a big dosage

I think you should not put topik in the first 3/4 inch.  It looks a little too stark and unconvincing.  Natural hair is not that much of a "wall."

Spot on !! Couldn’t agree more 

Hi guys been using oral minox (loxidil forte) from a Thai pharmaceutical for the last 1,5 month 5mg a day

has anyone tried this before? Is it legit? I don’t see anything so far !!

Are those pics with toppik?

No it’s getting used topically to avoid systemic absorbsion which would cuz side effects and would grow hair in other parts of your body too 

I’ve been using oral minox myself for the last 1,5 months from a Thai pharmaceutical...so far haven’t noticed any improvement but not side effects either...maybe is too early or the minox is not legit. Will see !!

That was so unprofessional from a well known surgeon like him...

10th day today I’m trying to get rid of the scabs slowly...and thinking of going back to the gym on Monday...donor area completely healed I feel so confident about my Doctor and the results 

i keep on taking my finasteride 1mg and oral minoxidil 10mg also biotin from solgar and collagen and yhalurenic acid complex 

Is good work

Hi,  I've been meaning to give an update just been a real busy time moving jobs/house! 

The picture attached is at 2 months and 1 week, I feel like I might be slightly lagging behind people at the same point in time but I'm keen to hear what you guys think. I've been told this month and the next the growth should start to accelerate. 

Also sometimes I notice dead skin in my recipient area and when I rub it (gently) away in the shower a hair or two may go with it. Has anyone else experienced this? Currently wash my hair 3 times a week if that info helps. 

 

 

 

 

Looks like things are about to pick up I think is gonna be a homerun

Drew, 

So, if I am understanding correctly, the doctor is afraid that weight training will shunt blood to the muscles being strained and, therefore, steal blood from the scalp and negatively impact the follicles? To combat this, he/she provided a blood thinner? Somewhat novel theory. I have not heard of this before. 

Thnx DR for replying to that it could make sense though if u think about it and also his work is outstanding so I trust him a lot 

He meant weight lifting about biking or running he said 2 weeks...he said to me aspirin

What?  I would ask again.  Something does not seem right.

Blood circulation to follicles?  The scalp is quite vascular.  What are you referring to?  Weight lifting? Running?  What?

What blood thinner did he give you? For a month? To help circulation - specifically to the scalp?  

DOCTORS!!!!! We need help here.....

They give me instructions and the doctor said 1 month which I find it a extra cautious but it’s because of blood circulation in the follicles

he said if u go to the gym and start lifting and train arms lets say the blood going to go to veins in your arms is just normal amd we don’t want that we want it on your scalp fro the first month that’s why he gave me a blood thinner as well which helps for blood circulation in the scalp to take for a month so I’m not sure what to do

You can typically return to normal 10-14 days depending......

If FUT, avoid weightlifting, particularly anything pulling on the neck.  This can lead to scar stretching. Do push-ups instead.  

If FUE, you can return to normalcy 10-14 days.  Check with the clinic.  (Did they give you typed up post op instructions)?

Cardiovascular - typically you can walk after the third day.  Running...7 - 10 days post op.  Some will tell you a full 14 days just to be overly cautious.  

 

Cuz probably dr kaan Pekiner doesn’t believe it can benefit the healing process or the regrowth

No prp bro
