Hello all! 

I have my surgery in a week. For many surgeries including cosmetic many people take the following:  
 

Arnica 

Bromelain
 

they swear that is has helped in recovery times. What are your thoughts?

Looking great! 

I have been on many forums and this is by far the best and most informative. Melvin does an amazing job. Maybe some are not reading all the post, since  i see so many users post their experiences about many clinics and doctors. Read the post and see how many times Melvin comments on doctors work that are not on the ones listed above in a very positive way. 
 

This has been an amazing platform for many of us! @melvin keep up the amazing work. And those that feel this forum is biased then there are other forums to join. No one is forced to be here. 
 

Constructive criticism and suggestions are different than unfounded facts. 
 

Let’s continue to be positive and help one another in our journey. 

Thanks for posting. Great results. I have nine with Nader in two weeks. Great to see his work!

Yes I believe she wanted me to start (lightly) washing after day 3 and every day after. And I do mean “lightly”. I had to use bepanthol cream on the area and then wash with baby shampoo. I had to be careful not to rub too hard or scratch with my nails as the area (and follicles) were very sensitive to damage. Was a little nerve racking lol. I recommend following Nader’s advice to the T. And always ask as many questions as you want. 

Thanks Steve for the info! Results are looking awesome!

Great results so far. Did you wash on day 3? I am going to Nader in three weeks and heard he suggest to lightly wash the transplanted area on day 3. 

I have my transplant next month and about three weeks after I have to have some business meetings. 
 

I wanted to wear a cap but now sure if it is safe! Can it be fitted at 3 weeks? 

This is great. I see him December 14th. Nervous but excited.  

Awesome update. I am going to Nader in December. So great to see your good results.

yea dont worry about that at all.   the first couple times you shower u just very lightly touch the area with your fingers.  its super easy if you just follow the instructions doctor nader gives you.  

Thanks!

I am going to Nader. Someone else that went to him the instructions show that they should start rubbing recipient areas on day three with shampoo. 
 

any thoughts? I thought this should start on day 7 but the instruction sheet shows gently start rubbing on day three. 

Awesome info and videos! I am booked with Nader in December. I am most nervous about showering on the third day and rubbing the area with shampoo. I have a lot of questions on that one. Just would hate to mess things up by rubbing the transplanted area. 
 

congrats. So far looks awesome! 

Thank you! That’s why I asked about Nader since I haven’t seen any recent reviews. I need about 2500-3000 grafts and Nader was at about 5400 and Bicer at 4200. So that’s about my budget. Unfortunately in the USA that’s pretty impossible.

I consistently hear that his communication is awful. I don’t know that is not good, especially if you haven’t even had surgery yet. If you have been balding for years, why rush? 

You do make an excellent point. I guess just disappointed I was so close to getting it and now just want it done. But does make sense why rush! Thanks Melvin. 

So I had a scheduled transplant with Dr. Bicer. I was at the airport everything ready and paid for. With Covid and things going on with trying to get to Turkey the airline turned me back as many countries are closed for connections. I lost a bit of money but still determined to go on with the procedure. 
 

I am now scheduled in June with Dr. Nader from Mexico. My family is in Texas 3 hours from there so figured it will be easier. 
 

They don’t respond to emails very quick sometimes takes a week which is frustrating. Any experiences here with Dr. Nader and his clinic? What was post care. Did you go back next day? I asked these questions to them a few days ago and still waiting for a response. 

it seems that there are good results posted here in the past but always nice to here it directly. 
 

thanks guys! 

Not at all. I have been using it for over a year and it’s the best I ever used. Is makes your hair feel thicker and amazing concealer.

Cheers @GaryJ. Hope it goes well for you. I had a video call with Dr.Bicer and her assistant Ozen yesterday, just a quick catch up. They will make you feel very welcome. Let me know if you need any info / advice.

What was your aftercare. First wash at home. How did you apply the lotion and shampoo? Wonder what the after care from Bicer is like.

Thank you! Yeh nervous about the trip back and first few days. The critical first 10. I am sure before I leave they will prep and provide the needed steps. 
 

Awesome result. I have it with Dr. Bicer in 12 days. 
 

thanks for sharing.

So pleased you chose Dr Bicer ! Have no doubts you will get a excellent Ht 👏

Thank you. Will update with pics. 

They evaluated 2500. I think it’s low. Most evaluated about 3500. I think once I get there in person she will have a better idea. 
 

have to fill the crown and front. 

Two weeks from today I will be having my transplant with Dr. Bicer. Getting nervous but can’t wait to get it done. 

Yes they require a proof of a covid test within 72 hours of arriving and to fill out a health form. 

Oh wow didn’t know that UK still had travel restrictions. I am in USA.
