Dr Yaman's plan sounds interesting. Maybe @Dr Resul Yaman could explain more his plan about this case here.

You have an aggresive hair loss, and wihout any medical treatment your hair loss will progress. Your donor area looks weak and you have a huge recipient area. So no chances to achieve a decent result without any medicine in your case and with this aggressive hair loss. The best option you have is to shave your head and maybe try Scalp Micropigmentation.

I feel so bad about your bad experience with this specific clinic. That you had poor growth and did not get what you paid for and also that doctor did not treat you well in post operative process, like you said "the clinic would give me some ideas, advice, information etc. However, there was nothing – I mean literally NOTHING – not one piece of “Oh, it could be because of X or Y or Z….”. No explanation of why the growth was poor" Every time a patient has a hair transplant with a specific clinic, an ethical doctor should check if the scalp is healthy or not before the hair transplant. And if its healthy then he proceeds to a hair transplant. Especially you should feel safe with a good doctor that he would check your scalp. Like you said he checked you scalp in your initial appointment and he did not mention anything about lichen planopilaris....!!! So that's his fault, not yours. You paid so much money to solve your problem and be happy and now you feel terribly and sad, spending your money for nothing.... Thank you for sharing with us your experience, this will help a lot of members to make the right choice. Of course clinics try to hide these reviews, but patients should post them to be present for everyone to see their bad experience with a specifil clinic. Thank you again and i hope you find a solution to your problem, as it is very unpleasant to have a failure in a hair transplant. Good luck mate !

I dont think it is the right choice to give up if you can't pay expensive doctors and clinics. You can get a good and decent result without spending all of your money. The difference in price does not always mean that you wil get better result. There are some other clinics in Turkey, which have affordable budjet and you consider them like Dr Yaman, Bicer, Demirsoy, Turan. For repair work eugenix is also good, but they are pricey if you select the premium pachages, but there are trained doctors in eugenix clinics who are less expensive. Pekiner and HLC are also good, but their cost is 2.5 euro per graft. Beard grafts are better than the chest grafts. Try to put more beard grafts, instead of chest grafts.

Ok mate, so your frontal part would be very dense, which needs the higher possible density to look good. You cannot have the same high density in each part, so the distribution was very good in your case to have the best possible result to adecuately cover all of this huge area. Can you show us some pictures with the strip in your donor to see clearly it more clearly and its position?

@gradina22Good luck with your fut procedure mate. all the best. So how many of the total grafts did you put in frontal third (1/3), on midscalp and crown? What was the price per graft? good number of hair/graft!

The result looks awesome. By the way, Do you have pre op photos with no shaved look on the top? How many grafts did you implant in each area? frontal third,midscalp, crown?

The prices in america are extremely high. Just go to Europe mate. Preferably in Spain, or Turkey in some clinics.

yes it would be helpful to see how the face looks after beard extraction. What size of punch should be used to have small scars?

The question is if a new transplanted graft is implanted in the position of a weak hair folicle, will this affect in any way the survival rate of the new graft? Because then there will be 2 grafts in the same position (one the new transplanted and one the weak native follicle). Probably the weak hair follicle will be dead after this and the new graft will normally survive. Some clinics say they do not implant direcly in the position of a weak native follicle but very close to it, while other clinics say there is no problem to implant the new graft directly in the position of the weak native follicle. But if you implant very close to a native weak follicle, there will be many chances of shock loss to the native one.

Huge difference. Very good result. Does he take any medical treatment to prevent shock loss?

what's eugenix hair sciences plan about your case? also how much do they charge per graft?

the best way to go off medicine is to slowly low the dose per month. You should not go off very quikly but slowly lowing the dose as the time goes until you stop it permanently. But the question is why you want to stop finasteride? Do you have side effects? why dont u just keep it very few times a week? Like 2 mg a week?

What area of your scalp you want to cover with beard grafts? watch this video. this guy got about 8000 beard grafts to cover his scalp !!!

How is your beard ? upload us a photo of your scalp donor and beard as well.

Yes of course you did not have full survival rate. Most people get their max growth until month 7, after this month the hair just get thicker. What did the doc say about the result of the first procedure? How much money did u pay per graft?

You can ask them about the crown if they can cover it as well with your remaining grafts on your donor.

On your first procedure it seems like you did not have full growth of grafts.With 3000 grafts your frontal part shoud be much better than this, so you did no get maximum survival rate. I hope your second procedure goes better than your first one. Good luck with your second procedure mate.

What about the plan of HDC for the crown? did they say anything or they just focus on front part?

HLC does manual FUE as far as i know, so they really take care of the donor. Be patient and wait the recovery of your donor.

Eugenix hair sciences are specialists in transplating beard hair . They can extract and transplant really big numbers of hair follicles.

So you covered front half of your scalp, which is about 87 cm^2? How many cm^2 left for the rest of midscalp and crown to cover on next procedure?

Excellent result ! Congrats @Dr Resul Yaman. Can you describe us the distribution of grafts on his scalp? How many grafts on frontal third, miscalp and crown?

ask them how many grafts will remain in my donor if i put 4000-4500 grafts for front part now? How many beard grafts can they extract?

HLC said you about 4000-4500 for which part? only front ?
