Similar story to my own (though I'm 2500 grafts less). 

Do you have any overhead shots to show the crown improvement from the 2nd surgery?

Hello @BackFromTheBrink

please find below some additional photos.

Hi Everyone,

we would like to present below a case of a patient with a Norwood VI stage. You can find below the details of the surgery.

Patient Details 

Patient´s age: 35 years old when the first surgery took place. Second surgery took place 1 year after the first surgery.

The patient started to use finasteride 1 month before the 1st surgery and he continued afterwards

Hair Thickness: 52 microns in the parietal areas and 54 microns in the occipital area.

0.8mm micromotor and 0.85mm manual punch were used for the extraction in both surgeries.

Surgical Plan for the 1st surgery: Hairline reconstruction, density increase in the frontal, fronto-temporal area and mid scalp.. The surgery was performed in two consecutive days with 5 sessions of extraction and implantation. Overall, 4677 grafts were implanted, 3318 in the frontal area and 1359 in the mid scalp.

Surgical Plan for the 2nd surgery: density increase in the frontal and mid scalp and crown area. The surgery was performed in 2 days with 4 sessions of extraction and implantation. Overall, 3226 grafts were implanted, 338 in the hairline, 1489 in the frontal and mid scalp area and 1399 in the crown.

His crown looks perfectly normal in pre op photos. 

I wonder why grafts were implanted there? 

Anyways nice results 

Hello @Rawkerboi,

the patient mentioned some concerns about thinning in that area. During the consultation once the head was shaved and assessed with the trichoscope we identified some areas that could be improved hence the implantation.

the guy looks like a rockstar after the procedure

any info on hair diameter?

Hi @mr_peanutbutter,

he has slightly below the average thickness, 50-58 microns.

Hi Everyone,

we would like to present below a case of a patient at Norwood IIv (diffuse thinning in the frontal area). You can find below the details of the surgery.

Patient Details: 28 years old patient using dutasteride and minoxidil prior to the surgery.

0.9mm motorised punch was used for the extraction.

Impressive and nice results. Just 2 questions

1- What size of blade or needle is used for grafts placing?

2- What is the density per sq. centimeter? If it is convenient you may reply otherwise no issue. 

 

Hello @AhmadChaudhry,

Please find the replies below:
 

1- What size of blade or needle is used for grafts placing?
Dr Turan uses the implanter pen for graft placement, that means that there is no pre-incisions made. He uses implanter pens that range from 0.7 to 1mm width. In patients with very thick hair, he uses 1.2mm implanter pen for multiple grafts (4 and 5 hairs)

2- What is the density per sq. centimeter? If it is convenient you may reply otherwise no issue. 
Density per cm2 in a hair transplant depends on many factors such as: hair caliber, hair/graft ratio, hair colour, skin laxity conditions, native hair or no native hair in the areas to be implanted, areas of implantation (hairline requires greater density than other areas), etc. So, they vary for every patient.

In this case, the implanted density ranged between 50 to 40 grafts per cm2.

Hi Everyone,

we would like to present below a case of a patient with a Norwood III stage. You can find below the details of the surgery.

Surgical Plan: Hairline reconstruction, density increase in the frontal and fronto-temporal area. The surgery was performed in one day with 2 sessions of extraction and implantation 

Patient´s age: 38 years old. The patient was using finasteride prior to the surgery and he continued using it afterwards.

Hair Thickness: 45 microns in the parietal areas and 49 microns in the occipital area. 

Hair Type: caucasian, dark and thin hair

Number of Grafts Implanted: 1968, all grafts were implanted in the hairline, frontal and fronto-temporal area except 300 grafts that were implanted in the mid scalp and upper vertex.

0.8mm micromotor and manual punch were used for the extraction.

How did you pay? Did you pay when you booked or did you pay when you arrived at the clinic?

Hello jbx96,

there is a 500€ deposit which has to be paid when doing the booking. The remaining balance is paid at the clinic.

Let me know if you have any further questions.

On 6/27/2023 at 12:43 AM, pahey345 said:

I was told that by the interpreter who works for Dr. Turan. He said Dr. Turan was most likely going to retire / transition to do a limited amount of surgeries on a VIP type basis in the next 1+ year.

@FUECAPILAR

Can you respond to this rumor? 

 

 

@Melvin- Moderator@pahey345
Hi Everyone,

Just wanted to inform that this rumor cannot be further from truth.

Both Dr Turan and Dr Gur are training other Doctors to increase capacity in our clinic, but neither Dr Turan or Dr Gur will retire/transition or change their involvement in their surgeries.

Hence we hope this rumor to end up here,

Best regards

I meant the temporal angles like this marked in red, when we pull the hair up this angle is visible in most of the natural hairlines 

Normally, a natural hairline won´t have such sharp design in the fronto-temporal area like the one you marked.

As you can see in the implantation, Dr Gur only had to close the fronto-temporal area slightly to link it with the temporal peaks of the patient. Due to the fact that the patient did not receed at all in the temporal peaks, there was no need to implant in that area.

How many procedures is dr gur doing 😄 bombarded with his results today. Just Kidding but Keep them coming if they are like these. 

HT results are great just like other cases posted today but was he on medication ? Please provide details on meds. because crown area and mid-scalp seems to have improved quite a lot

and what great donor he has..atleast it seems like it.

 

Hello Duckling,

Yes, the patient is using 1mg of finasteride EOD (every other day).

Could you elaborate on your question please? What do you exactly mean with the angles not being sharp?

great results but why were grafts used in the mid-scalp/bridge area ? he seemed to have hair there.

although density improved so much there so cant complain about his wish. if possible then what was his density before and after HT in top & crown area if you can tell.

Hello Duckling,

the patient had thinning in the mid scalp area, hence Dr Gur spoke to the patient during the consultation to work on that.

2 minutes ago, duckling said:

work is good and result is good too.. 

but wow...night and day difference in the hair texture ! I wish he could tell the product name he is using on his hair. Or maybe he wasnt on fin that long before his HT. Happy for him either ways.

Hello Duckling,

There was no product on the hair. That the effect of the implanted hair and medication.
