  1. I've kept my hair just a bit longer compared to just before trimming. One photo attached here. I think there is some layering effect with longer hair.
  2. I started taking Biotin and applying minoxidil after this surgery, as advised by the doctor. I've never taken finasteride. The previous 3000 grafts I had on my hairline and a little bit towards mid scalp. They are still there (or mostly there), my hairline had quite a different shape before that.
  3. Hi, I want to share my results after undergoing FUE surgery with Dr Erkan Demirsoy, at Armamed clinic in Istanbul. There are already many posts with the reasons why to choose Demirsoy, experiences at the clinic, advices, etc... where I don't have anything new to add. Therefore I will just share the results so far and some observations I have for my case specifically. Before Dr. Demisroy I had had another FUE surgery with approx 3000 grafts some 10 years ago. Dr Demisroy recommended me4000 - 4500 grafts for my HT, but recommendation was to do it in two sessions. The reason was that my donor area was already sparse. I could see that too, that in the donor area I could notice the density of hair was lower (probably because of the previous surgery). To me it also made sense with the two-step approach, as in this case you could see the progress after the first step and then make a more educated decision for the second one. Actually now I'm a bit worried with my donor area which looks sparse and I don't want to make it look even worse. So I've still not decided whether to go with the second step. Will see a bit later how it will look after some more months. Here are the photos taken before the operation taken in the clinic, and up until now. Before shaving: After shaving: After operation: Two weeks post-op: 2 months after surgery: As one can see, now after two months it looks that most or all of the new hair had fallen off. Compared to the pics from two weeks after surgery, the hair has shedded a lot. I'm hoping the new hair should start growing soon. You can also see the donor area looks weaker than before and you can see recognize the extraction area. Probably no surprise having in mind that approx 5500 grafts in total were already extracted from there. Will post later with the new pics.
  4. Can you explain what exactly from his package goes against the values? I'm not criticizing your decision, I just want to know the facts to make my own decision. Also, I'm interested in general about the criteria used when recommending a doctor by this site. Can you please explain or point me to a page/document where this is explained? Thanks!
  5. Hi, was the extraction done by dr. Yaman or by somebody else? And how big needle did he use?
