I didnt touch the transplanted area at all, i just trimmed the donor area after 3 weeks or something and consulted the clinic beforehand. They said it won't be a problem at all, but you guys are right maybe i should be more patient with the healing. Any other thoughts on the transplanted area and the shedding?

Any thoughts ?

Some pictures of the donor area 5 weeks post OP Edit: I used some toppik at the front

5 weeks post OP: Shedding intensifies but still not that bad as I expected. But i guess it will be worst as time passes. Some pictures in different light conditions.

4 weeks update: I guess shedding has started

3 weeks update

Hello guys here is an update: photos from Day 10 after removing scabs. Im 2 weeks post OP now not much difference will keep you guys updated. Donor could look better but i guess its normal for now. All in all im very happy until now.

Some additonal pictures after surgery

I attached two pictures of my donor area one day after surgery.

Hey thank you my friend. Dr. Cengiz was my surgeon.

Absolutly professionals at work

Thank you thats nice to hear

And this after today and after the HT. What do you guys think so far ?

This are photos from day one after the session. Will add more photos after my final appointment tomorrow.

Hi guys so i finally did it. First of all the admin can move this thread to a more appropriate subforum. I was transplanted 1761 grafts on the first day and 1714 grafts on the second day, making a total of 3475 grafts. I felt in very good hands at all times. The surgery was less painful than I thought it would be. I am currently wearing a bandage which will be removed tomorrow during my follow-up examination. Since I have little time, I will post a few pictures before, during and after the surgery. I will be happy to answer any questions. First the pictures of the surgery plan.

Thank you for being so supportive and answering my questions. I will keep you guys updated !

Thank you ! Do you have got a thread about your HT journey ?

It will be around 3500 Grafts in a two days procedure. I must admit that i was worried about my Donor area too, this why i decided to have a personal consultation at Ankara. After the trichoscan and everthing the surgeon told me my donor area is good and i will be fine. I also asked him if i had DUPA and he said no.

Thank you my friend.

Hi thanks for the advice, I am currently in Turkey and have asked HLC to send me a letter authorizing my transit to Ankara and I have already received it. Wish me luck

No this will be my first procedure

I decided to have a HT at HLC in Ankara, im a diffuse thinner and my goal is to fill in the front and the top half of my head. For this 3520 grafts will be transplanted, this was planned during a personal consultation at HLC at the end of March. I would like to have my hairline restored. Finasteride I have already tried and discontinued due to side effects, will eventually try a topical Minox/Fin solution. I have been using Minox and Ket Shampoo for almost 6 years now, neglecting the Ket Shampoo from time to time. For tonsure I would continue to use Toppik and Dermmatch until considering another HT. Donor area information: Donor: good density (210 cm2) good condition (7000 grafts), probably curly Trichoscan was performed. Beard hair: good condition (3000 - 4000 grafts max). One small question remains, whether the curvy donor hair will lead to whether I will end up with curly hair, my hair curls only after a certain length. Surgery will be between May 3 and 5.

Anyone who can help on this topic ?

Keep us up to date mate

I will have my hair transplant procedure at HLC on 3 - 4 May ( 3520 Grafts) . The surgeon recommended that i should not use Minoxidil 1-2 before and also not before 4 weeks after the procedure. Since im curious about taking oral finasterid (will use a topical solution rather), im afraid that the lack of minoxidil during this time could cause additional hairloss. Could i loose my hair minoxidil is keeping even im not seeing any effects growth with minoxidil since 2 - 3 years ?
