You should do what Melvin told you. Have a personal consultation with them and have a dialog on how to move on from here. You still have some months left and thing can turn around. when it comes to the cobblestoning I think you should also talk with others doctors in your area (india?) such as Dr.Bathi and medispa. Is important to get other doctors views too on this issue and to be 100% sure If it is cobblestoning or not.

@shadow_god I saw quite early on in your pictures that you possibly had cobblestoning and from the new pictures I am 100% sure that you have cobblestoning. i have cobblestoning and it is identical to yours. Quite sad because it is 100% the clinic's fault and nothing to do with you. Getting a failed transplant can happen, but cobblestoning is incompetence and should never happen

I think is wrong to just state that Zarev plans long term and not include the other doctors on that. People can get confused on that. Every elite doctors that is mentioned in this thread do plan for the long term for each patients and also I don’t think is right to say that Zarev can can take more scalp hair than anyone else. I am reasonably sure that the best doctors can do the same as Zarev. it is more about preference and that they do not want to over harvest the donor area completely and also take a lot of hairs outside the "donor area"

How many grafts total did you have previously? Did they miniaturised too? What about medications? this is a really tough case tho. Good luck with your research

@Approach from my perspective when it comes to FUE Pittella and Zarev is the doctors when it comes to Norwood 7. Pittella’s results speaks for it self and also Zarev is just different and he doesn’t rely on donor supply from beard and body. Dr. Sethi is also really good but not in the same level as those two. Why not go to Brazil and do a live consultation with dr. Pittella?

Well deserved and congratulations @Al - formerly BeHappy looking forward to know more about your background and your story. I think i can learn a lot from it. I was not even born when you had your first surgery and I was only 11 years old when you joined this forum

Yeaaah like we are not born yesterday. We know what’s going on lmao

Yes that is true @Melvin- Admin. That is the reason told him to use his time to follow that thread and see/wait for the end result.

It looks you got cobblestoning in your hairline. Can you verify it? @shadow_god

You are a high Norwood so it is really important to use either FIN or DUT to slow down the hair loss or to stop it. Have you tried to use Fin in smaller dose and meaby 3 times a week so you don’t get the side effects? I will say also you don’t have a bad time. Do your research and save up your money. You will really regret if you try to do a surgery asap and thing doesn’t go as you wish. Try medication 12 months and reassess your Norwood. also use your time to follow this thread and see the end result. since he is in a almost similar situation as you. I am not a big fan of Yaman. His techs is bad and give bad results too often

Joined 9 hours ago and you wrote this comment 9 hours ago. Interesting 🤔🤔🤔🤔

I understand you are stressed and everything but this is not even 5 month after your surgery so you have to give it at least 7-8 month and reassess after that. Hopefully thing will turn around. And also I soo that the doctor was Yaman. I will pray for you

Back from the death. Congratz with your result

I dont see this clinic be any different than example Dr.Yaman. The doctor is involved in the surgery and does the incision and also only two patients a day This look good for only three months. The growth usually starts now so I would expect good result here

@patronovski have lawyers or anything like that contacted you yet? Saw that BHR wrote about a legal case or something like that

I am really happy that he was supporting you throughout the surgery and changed your life with this result. But honestly nothing of this work give me the impression of brilliant and precisely work as you describe.

Looking forward to see your end result. Those 2700 grafts should give you a good density. Usually he is one of the safest of the hair mills in Turkey. Good luck

The work looks clean. Looking forward to follow your progress

Feel saad for the dude. If he would have gone to a elite doctor he would have avoided all this thing 😩

@Gatsby has the knowledge when it comes to the Hair Transplant in Australia so he should answer this. but anyways the best doctors are not in turkey so don’t be restricted to a country. what Norwood are you? Do you use medication and do you have some pic to share?

Good luck! The work looks so clean and good

I am 9 days away from the 3 month mark (the days goes fast tbh) and excited to see the growth start soon. was walking outside and tok some pictures. The first pic is 1 month i guess after the surgery something and the two other is from today. been using the finasteride 6 years but the last 4-5 years have been seriously and oral minoxidil between 3- 4 years. The recepient area is all transplanted from the first surgery with Serkan aygin clinic but I am sure the oral minoxidil and finasteride reversed some lost hairs from there too

He are most probably using tupe/Hair system. Have seen it be discussed on YouTube before

Looking forward to see the new moderator 😀

I would say the luxurious buzz cut with good density needs more than 1 surgery to get to that level and to be safe from grafts failure because of the blood distribution. Are you Norwood 2 or close to that and have your hair loss stopped? I don’t see that be possible for Norwood 3 and behind because of donor and supply and also due to continuing of hair loss
