Doron, thanks for the response. So are you saying out of the 5000 grafts most of those didn’t grow? Can I ask how you were able to still have enough grafts to have more surgery? The Results are incredible of course.

Excellent results Doron, keep us updated. It’s a night and day difference between your results at HDC and that clinic in turkey. Congratulations also Doron 1 question. From the first failed fue with the turkey clinic you said they took 5000 grafts. Do you roughly know how many of those grafts grew?

Incredible results!

What a home run. Outstanding results

Yup looks like another home run. Great results and Dr Maras is definitely an elite surgeon

Looking like you’re at 10 months in, not 5. Imagine in another 5 months the further improvements you’ll see.

Looking great at already 3 months

Already looking incredible at 4 months. should be smooth sailing from here on. Great news.

Unbald Eagle, An additional point on the side. If you had a previous fue with another clinic that didn’t give you the results you wanted, and then on top of that the second fue with HDC didn’t produce results, then it might be a good idea to see if something else is going on before you go for a third surgery.

Thank you for your response Unbald eagle. Personally from my own experience, when I was researching hair clinics I largely avoided results posted By the clinics themselves and relied on posts by people posted on other hair loss forums. When it came to HDC, the overwhelming experiences people had from there were positive. I also knew dermatologists who supported the fact they did good work. As you mentioned they are also supported by this forum. in any case, the main point is that you didn’t get the result you were hoping for, so obviously this needs to be fixed. While I take your word and believe you 100% That you didn’t get the result you wanted, without pictures people will automatically have to take what you say with a grain of salt. We also have to consider wonkey hairline is also not at the year mark to fully analyse the result. Again I will stress I believe both of you but i am pointing some small things out. We don’t know the reason Why your hair transplant failed. It could be fault of the surgeon, it could also be due to the individuals own response. It’s still a surgery after all. But this is how it is with most clinics. Those who get good results will praise the clinic endlessly and those who don’t get good results will equally blame the clinic, sometimes justifiably and sometimes not. I would strongly consider you discuss this with HDC and see What they say. Either case I believe you and I am sorry you didn’t get the result you should have gotten. That is why I want this to get fixed for you one way or another.

Hi wonkyair, To be honest I’m not sure who posted that but I will say yours and unbald eagle’s are the first unsuccessful result I’ve ever seen from HDC, and I researched the internet for months when I was choosing a clinic My advice would be to stay in contact with the clinic and see what they offer you. They do actually care about the patients, at least that’s been my experience.

Thank you for clarifying the dates were a few days separate. yes of course. They should get the results they were hoping for. Unfortunately no surgeon has a 100% success rate. I’ve seen complaints again top surgeons like Rahal, hasson and Wong Etc and the list goes on. The reason for that is because it’s still a surgery and there are never guarantees with any surgery unfortunately. However, I do believe the clinic will do right by them and assist them. I’m hoping unbald eagle will upload a picture or two.

Hi Unbald Eagle, sorry to hear your result didn’t turn out how expected. Could you please upload a couple of pictures? I remember when I was doing my research in choosing clinics I never came across a bad result at HDC so to have two negative results that were done on the same day is a first. That being said, You still should have gotten the result you wanted. I know the clinic tries to keep close contact with patients and if there’s a problem they do try to resolve it to make the patient happy. Hope this gets resolved for you.

Looking good! thanks for the update

Thank you Parasol and John! And hoping for a great result for you Parasol!

Hello Everyone! Sorry for my absence. A quick update to progress At nearly one year post second FUE and 2 and a half years post first FUE. Not the best pictures but will try and update again soon in better lighting. If you have any questions please let me know, and quick thanks to George who is patient coordinator at HDC for still being incredibly helpful and still checking on me since the first procedure over 2 years ago! If you have any questions about the Clinic or are interested in HDC please contact him at george@hdc.com.cy. Take care everyone and good luck with your transplant goals! Wish you all the best.

Looks on track For good results at 8 weeks. Donor area looking great.

I would contact Dr Maras and HDC since they specialise In repair cases and deal with a lot of failed transplants from other doctors.

Month 1-4 are the worst without a doubt. Shedding, redness etc. Should start looking good after month 4-6. Your pictures look normal to me at this stage.

You might also consider grafts from your beard if you can go grow one as that will further help to fill things out.

My opinion of him from what I’ve seen and heard (Which is limited) is that he’s a professional and reliable doctor so will be interesting to see what he says

elicochin Could you name the surgeon that did your transplant and could you tell me what led you to choose fut over fue? Just curious. Thanks

But has there been any reduction at all in the past months even if it’s not much? In any case month 5 is too early to draw conclusions and a lot can happen in the next couple of months so keep us updated. Hoping for the best for you.

Unbald eagle, has the redness lessened to any extent over the 5 months? 5 Months is indeed still early. Would hold out until month 6 or 7 at least.

Sorry to hear about the over harvesting but to some extent I’m not surprised. How many grafts were taken in total over your procedures ? 7-8,000? I remember emailing Erdogans clinic in the very beginning and when i found out they planned to do a 5,000 FUE in one session I completely avoided them and went to Dr Maras and HDC where they paid the most attention to preserving the donor regions.
