Hey guys, Bicer told me there’s an opening in may. I wanted to post a quick update

been using the 1.5 micro needle once a week, minox most weekdays atleast once per day- usually at night before bed and Regenepure DR shampoo 3x per week on average

I’m seeing some hair growth. To the point I don’t even need to put toppik on the right side of my hairline. Crown growth went from skin to peach fuzz

im very impressed. Goin to ride this out

@Taylormadewhich doctor did you decide to go with? I'm in the same situation and looking to get HT as early as March.

Honestly it’s kind of hard getting responses on what’sapp, still trying to decide between the 3 but also been strict on micro needling, fin and minox

ill post an update on how that’s going as well

OP, you should probably start using Minoxidil and Microneedling and wait a bit to see how the results are. Potentially it could save you having to use a lot of grafts in the crown/midscalp if you have a good response. 

I personally didn't use Finasteride (Dutasteride in my case) in combination with Minoxidil because my personal situation didn't have the markers to warrant it and it increases your cost but in your case, it probably looks like a combination would work better since you already been on Finasteride for 2 years already. 

Are you taking 1mg every day? 

I love this advice, it’s funny I’ve been on 1mg for ages but now Hairtime was my first choice for a Ht before researching - they made me get off fin for a month

im so glad I didn’t go with them, and got back on fin hair looks even thicker than the pics I posted here now without minox and micro needling but last night I just started minox. Ordered .50mm to 1.5mm derma rollers and will begin, exactly what you stated. Could be epic to only really need to transplant the crown and hairline area 

thank you for this! Will update you guys

Are you on any medication like finasteride? 

I am on 1mg finasteride everyday been on for 2 years 

I keep the hair full looking with toppik daily but I don’t use minox probably should, I have it

i use a ketoconazole DHT blocking shampoo a couple times per week

Do you have a budget? They all seem to be doctors in turkey

Budget is 6k but hlc is much higher and if they are the best option I’d do it

Hello HRN! Grateful for this community, I’ve learned so much as a reader that I decided to go ahead and pull the trigger, I wanted to make an account and document this and hopefully continue to learn from you all.

Im 29 and from the United States, never had a hair transplant. I attached images of my current hair state to compare to as the process begins and want to document it clearly

My surgeon options are in order of who I want to do the surgery most.

1: HLC Ankara (in communication with them now) 

2: Dr. Bicer (no availability till September 2022) but will let me know if there’s a cancellation to come in sooner

3: Fue Capilar (2 session split one year apart front and then crown)

4: Dr. Yaman (available now and will do 5k in one sitting)

HLC pros and cons: highest price but seems to provide overall consistent great results- may not do a mega session in one sitting (4,000 units +)

 Dr. Bicers office is harder to get ahold of but when they do respond on whatsapp they’re amazing, such clear communication. But also, won’t do more than 3500 units in one session. I respect it, I just am not sure if I can split it up in 2 unless I get a little coverage in the crown out the gate 

Fue capilar wants to do the front half of my head, 4000 units then I come back and do the crown area, atleast 1k units 

Dr Yaman, available now, great price and can do 5k grafts in one session but I haven’t seen the best crown density - thinking I may go with him and even do smp on the crown area a month before the HT, buys me time to go back and do the crown again but I’m worried Ima burn a lot of donor hairs

Let me know what you guys think! I’m ready to do this as soon as March
