Thanks very much! Fingers crossed

Thanks! I'm not sure on the names of the other Drs, there were 4-5 around each day so quite possibly.

Must have, I flew home on Thursday. Yeah I thought he was very professional and took time afterwards to explain everything. I'm sure yours will look great. Thanks, will do.

Thanks! I followed your experience with HLC closely and it gave me the confidence to go with them. Hopefully I'll end up with a result similar to yours!

Thanks. You don't have any say in who works on you. I have heard that each doctor has a slight speciality (beard graft extraction etc) so I guess they would priorities the doctor to the patients that are there on the day. All the doctors gather at the start and help design your hairline, this takes approximately 30 minutes Dr Ozgur leads this process. He asks a few questions about what you are expecting (short term and long term goals) and what they can achieve. There were 4 patients having surgery on both days that I was there. I'm unsure on which doctors performed surgery on the other patients, Dr Ozgur was always at the clinic so it is quite possible that he performed some part of a surgery on one of the other patients. I will update with pictures each month but happy to answer any questions in the meantime.

Thanks! Dr Shahmalak did my first surgery.

Thought I would start this by stating a huge thank you to this forum and its members for educating me in my hair transplant journey. I have learnt a lot and would like to share my hair transplant experience. Background: 31 years old. Previous 2000 FUE graft procedure in England 4 years ago with very minimal growth (did the mistake of doing no research and going off celebrity pictures). Meds: Finasteride 1mg daily for 8 years - no real side effects. Minoxidil foam daily. Biotin daily. On the 7th and 8th of February I underwent a 4020 FUE graft procedure at HLC in Ankara. I have seen a couple of slightly sub-par results from HL:C recently, but I must say that so far my experience with them has been excellent. My 2 day procedure was completed by Dr Umut. I was told that despite my previous 2000 graft procedure, I had around 6000 hair grafts left in reserve and at least 1500 beard grafts. I was told that my hair quality was good, although I have always thought that my hair was quite fine in thickness. The plan was to thicken the hairline with 50cm2 and then 40cm2 moving back to the mid scalp. Happy to answer any questions. Your thoughts on my procedure and any advice moving forward would be much appreciated.
