Below average donor density is one thing, but to take medication to strengthen donor would probably mean he saw miniaturization in there. But even if you strengthened miniaturized donor hair i don’t see that as a reliable source to harvest. Should only go for strong follicles

Did you have a lot of donor miniaturization?

He’s a great doctor, but Idk if it’s wise to go FUE with a doctor that is mainly Fut. I also have only seen a couple fue results from him, but they were hairlines.

Depends on how he heals. You see cases of obvious white dots, but you also see some where it just blends in with your skin. Smp is also an option to help conceal fue scars

Can’t tell if you’re heading toward Norwood 6 or not. The comb is blocking the lower crown and that’s the main sign of Norwood 6 territory. i also think fue is an option. A better one. Your donor looks pretty strong

Why hasn’t the clinic responded yet to these claims? If they are false, it should be easy to defend.

maybe @Raphael84 can provide his input on this thread

How many total donor grafts did he say you have for surgery? He gives this information as well during his consults. Also a measurement of balding zone

Having just a bald crown is a comment balding pattern. If you have enough donor to transplant into the crown i would do it. I personally have been looking up cases where people have had a HT right up to where the crown begins. Sometimes a slick back can blanket the crown pretty well.

To be honest with you, it doesn’t look bad. The height is age and future age appropriate. If anything, i can see what you mean by the flatness but grown out it won’t look that flat. I think it’s solid

Damn man I’m sorry you feel this way so soon. Was there a reason why your hairline was transplanted like that? Inexperienced clinic? Did you see it drawn on prior to the surgery ?

Gotcha, so it’s not better to shave it off. Lol.. Best of luck to you on your surgery.

Same question i asked @Gatsby Would you still pass on surgery in 2023 if you’ve never gotten a poor surgery during a time that HTs weren’t done well? I can assume one would opt to shave it off if you’re comparing it to going through a rough experience and needing repairs. I could also understand the mental effects it could have on someone. But if you were someone who has an untouched scalp in todays era of Hair Transplantation, would you still have the same opinion to just shave it off? I

Nice write up. Very interested in how this result turns out. Love the tapering density into the crown area. I think a slick back will work good when everything grows.

Well understood Gatsby. I’m glad someone like you who’s been in the game for a while can provide feedback. With that being said, if the question was changed slightly and someone asks you with everything you know today, and if you had a virgin scalp and could start from scratch with a good surgeon, would you still pass on surgery considering the industry advancements since your first surgery?

Why?

I agree some of the results on their IG have that pluggy “doll hair” look. Im assuming they have multiple surgeons. I personally wouldn’t go to Turkey, but I’m curious if there are any clinics there that challenge the stigma of poor quality. Many people still believe Turkey is the HT Capital of the world.

Yes. That’s why i said the results look well done. I know a garbage result when i see one. The point of my post was to see if anyone has seen or heard of this particular clinic, based in a country that people immediately turn down due to poor quality..yet was chosen by a few famous people

Mainly density & hairline design.

Hey guys, i know Turkey is typically a no - go for a procedure but has anyone heard of “Now hair time” in turkey? I’ve noticed a handful of celebrities go there and was wondering if anyone has input on this clinic. Check their instagram as a reference. The results look good, however.. Turkey.

What is this mainly a result of? Punches that were made too close to each other ? curious how this can be avoided

Your lateral humps are the upper sides of your donor. When they drop, that’s when you classify someone Norwood 7. Along with the loss in the crown dropping deeper into the donor area and widening. I circled the areas that I’m referring to. Not saying what they did was wrong, but I’m curious if eugenix mentioned an any alternative game plans such as rebuilding the first half first, including the lateral humps, and then working back towards the crown as much as possible. But what it looks like they did in your situation was work front to back mainly on the top of the scalp while those thinning areas underneath will still need work once your grafts grow out. I’m wondering how that will look compared to the alternative i just stated about loading the front half first and leaving the crown for the second procedure. the reason i ask this is because i can see my laterals also thinning a bit and I’m wondering if it would be wiser to include them in the restoration as you work front to back, or disregard them and stretch the grafts out in a more narrow pattern reaching the crown

Was this the only game plan eugenix wanted to do? I’m curious as to how it would look if you didn’t graft the crown at all considering your lateral humps and crown do drop. Just curious

And the industry norm is that Norwood 7s can’t get full coverage lol. Great result man. Even if the crown didn’t improve further (which is obvious will) this a huge improvement. Crazy part is with a little hair fibers to the crown you look like you have zero hair loss.

How does this happen exactly?
