No need to use beard grafts at first, you can easily get 4000-5000 grafts done from your donor, the results might be enough for you to not consider a second hair transplant, I would also consider Demirsoy, imo he is one of the most consistent doctors out there, he has a lot of results posted on the forum, he does everything in 1 day too.

H&W are more consistent imo, I haven't seen any donor issues from them. Honestly the thing I have learned from doing research over the past few years is that every surgeon has bad results, you could go to the best doctor in the world and end up with average results.

Very interesting case, there is slight improvement already.. looking forward for the final outcome

You already have so much growth at 4 months, your hair already looks good man, it will only get better from here, Pekiner is one of the best no doubt

One of the best results from Asmed, good stuff 👍

There is a patient today that posted the same issue, I posted the link above, he struggles with donor management, even with small cases some guys end up with patchy areas in donor, he uses a large punch and sometimes does the extractions on 1 area instead of spreading them which causes this, he does hit some home runs from time to time but I would not consider going to him, 2 patients today posted the same thing and you already had 7000 grafts done so you have no room for error, either way good luck

That's what seperates diep from other doctors his marketing is top notch and his youtube videos will blow your mind, do more research on the forum, there are around 8 patients I have seen that had the same issue with donor..

If you want your donor butchered go with Diep 👍

The truth of the matter is that they used you as a guinea pig that day, one of the worst planned hair transplants I have seen in a while, looking at your before pictures no doctor in their right mind would ever recommend 4000 grafts done.

Never heard of him and it's impossible to grow hair back in the donor, don't fall for it.. unless he does hair cloning which is not even realistic at this moment.

No problem! I would recommend this forum that you are on, results on this forum are real, use the search bar on top and just type doctors names etc look at posts of patients with real pictures, there are a lot of posts of dcotors like Asmed, Demirsoy, Bisanga and others, consider HLC clinic also it's prob the best clinic in Turkey right now. Good luck with your search.

If you have a lot of them in your hairline they can be removed and transplanted back again, I had it done before however if you have 1 or 2 nobody will ever notice, grow your hair and they will blend in nicely with the others.

Not really sometimes mistakes happen as long as the result is good that's what matters, those grafts btw can be removed anytime, it's not the end of the world really if you have a couple doubles in your hairline.

No surgery is guaranteed, even the best surgeons have average and below average, all you can do is go to a consistent doctor/clinic that puts up good results. Some of the doctors that you can consider in Turkey are Asmed, Demirsoy, Cinik, Kaan, HLC clinic and many others but these are the most consistent I would say. Also there are doctors like Bisanga and Feriduni that are in Europe that are producing good results. At the end of the day you have to do your research and look at results posted by patients on the forum and make your own decision. I would advise you to send your pictures to many doctors so you can have a general idea if you are suitable for a hair transplant and how many grafts you need etc take your time and don't rush into the surgery. IMO PRP is a waste of money, it doesn't really do anything on it's own especially if you are a nw6. Iv never heard of the exosome therapy so I can't really comment on it.

Shock loss is normal you have to wait 3-4 months before you assess your donor/recipient again, don't think too much about it, it should heal in a few months.

Who is we? A lot of people try finasteride and stop because of the side effects, you act like finasteride has no side effects and that it's all in our heads, just because you are not dealing with the side effects doesn't mean others aren't, side effects are real and mentioned on the label (gyno, erectyl disfunction, depression, impotence etc) it's rare but they do happen and a lot of guys here on the forum tried finasteride and stopped because of the sides, the fact that you take more than 1mg means you have a higher chance of having gyno and PFS (Post-finasteride syndrome) and other serious stuff at a young age. I guess you found the cure for men to live longer, kudos to you! Lookup how important DHT is Unfortunately because it's the only drug that helps hair loss, trust me if there was an alternative Merck would go bankrupt and everyone would stop finasteride, you can look up some of the shady things Merck has been doing. https://www.reuters.com/investigates/special-report/usa-courts-secrecy-propecia/

The funny part is that you think 2.5mg is more effective than 1.mg and what'e even funnier is that you really think men are better without DHT

Looks really good!!

That is the most absurd thing I have read on this forum Yes men over 50-60 years not 20 year olds The side effects are real, just because you didn't get them doesn't mean they are placebo and not real, go check your sperm levels, if you are trying to have kids and taking 2.5mg you are going to end up with problems later on with your life

This can be helpful, from dr Konior's website, they can be definitely removed https://www.chicagohairinstitute.com/surgical-hair-loss-solutions/repair-of-older-techniques

I had a few plugs removed at the hairline, but not the old one of 5 and more, basically grafts with doubles and triples in them, they can be used again but some did not survive because were more difficult to remove than native hair. Not sure about the old plugs, you should consult with a few doctors, sometimes the doctor will remove the obvious ones especially at the hairline and put grafts around the rest to camouflage the area, but they can be removed for sure, send your pictures to a couple doctors and ask about the procedure.

How many grafts did you have the second time? post some pics, hopefully you see improvement in the next few months, good luck

That's totally normal, it's only an estimate unless one doctor estimated 2000 grafts and another 4000 then you should be asking questions otherwise 1500-2000 is completely fine

It might have been 4000 hairs not grafts, don't stress too much about the spot, only time will tell, good luck.

Looks good, it will only get better from here, best of luck.
