@Raymond92 Know that you have chosen a hair mill, among the hundreds that there are in Turkey, so your transplant is a lottery, I don't want to worry you, it will definitely be fine, but be prepared otherwise.

Thanks for the reply. And if the result gets bad I can only accept it and it seems to be my life?

Yes at grade 0/1 they will. 

well it's very sad. I wish I had thought of this better :(

Yes FUE scars would be noticeable if you shave right down from now on. Unfortunately this is a trade off we have to get a transplant. 
Better than a FUT scar though. I have both FUT and FUE scars.

 

but they'll be visible years later, right?

I would wait and see the result develop. 1500 will make a noticeable difference in the crown area. And 3500 sounds about right for upfront. 
FUE scars are only visible if you shave right down. 
I know it’s difficult not too worry at this stage. The so called ugly duckling period is the worse. Give it a few months and I can assure you that you will change your mind. 

And if we suppose a year later I shave my head, will I still see the fue scars? or what will happen in five years, for example? 
And is shock loss always just permanent? Will my donor area be denser again?

They didn’t recommend Fin? How old are you at present? 
I am guessing they concentrated on the grafts up front and used less working back. This is the usual plan.

 

Not recommended, just minoxidil. I am 28 years old. yes, I reportedly got 3,500 at the front and 1,500 at the back. But now I see the difference. I practically stay bald at the back, so it didn't make much sense to implant the hair, I would be much more confident bald. What do you think, if I cut him bald, the place of the surgery will be very visible?

I don’t think you should be worried. 5000 grafts is going to make a big difference. But right now is the waiting game. Keep us updated on here every month. 
Are you on any meds to retain what hair you have already? 

i am taking biotin and the clinic recommend minoxidil to the donor area, i have been using it for a week. The graft in the back is very rare, unfortunately my bald spot stays there even after a year

what annoys me the most is that if the result isn’t good, I can’t cut it bald or very short because it will look like I had surgery. Does anyone have a similar experience?

Which clinic/Dr did you go too? 

Selda Hair Center, Istanbul. What do you think? do I have to worry?

1 month out is where all the grafts will shed and you will face at least a few more months before they start to grow again.

Its difficult to tell without seeing your before surgery pics. And have you got any when it was done? 
it’s also possible you have some temporary shock loss in the donor area. 

Before operation. Yeah I think is a shock loss, but I m worry that not temporary

is there anyone here who had a hair transplant years ago and then cut it bald?

Hello, I had a hair transplant a month ago. Well, to put it mildly, I am not all satisfied with the result. I reportedly received 5,000 grafts, but the frequency of implantation is rare, especially in the back, and my donor area is also much rarer than before. Honestly, I haven’t regretted making a decision in my life like this, and it’s really bad that I have to wait so long, and even worse, that I know the result won’t be as expected. But the worst part is that I can’t even cut it bald now because it will show in my donor area that there was surgery there. Any tips for guys who have struggled with similar experiences? how can i get through this period without losing my mind?

my main concern is that it won't be good in the back because it's very rare there. Actually, I just want to cut it short and live a normal life again :( And I think my donor area is over harvested
