Welcome to advertising forum.

After reading the whole topic it feels like there was some bad communication/assessment by the clinic. I hope your results improve or, if you go for another surgery, it will be an absolute blast, man. And you definitely shouldn't question your initial expectations, because there was nothing wrong with them. Result is not dense enough compared to what doctors were promising.

Hey, thank you very very much and sorry for the late reply! Nope, unfortunately it's around 8000-8500 total. So I guess I have 4k something left. Still enough to have a decent crown coverage as I was told, so I'm okay with it. I will definitely keep updating, thanks! And yeah, I didn't know about it but post op kit is indeed included in surgery package. It was very convenient though, so I would strongly recommend everyone to use it. Apart from somewhat average food (in my opinion), everything else was great: cool driver, nice room, a ton of medications, etc.

Hey guys, glad to hear that this work looks good!😄 Hi! Manually. They'll tell you everything that you should bring which is honestly not much (one the most important thing is probably neck pillow). All needed medication and creams are provided by HLC. Honestly, I thought there were so much of them that I personally would not think about taking more. Partly because you never know how medications interact with each other, so it fees like a better idea to leave this all to doctors. Edit: Come to think of it, I actually came in with vitamin d, omega-3 and fin which I use on a constant basis nowadays, so I didn't want to break the process. But that's about it.

Thanks a lot, MachoVato! Very nice to hear that. I've actually read through your journey while checking patients' stories on this forum. I'm sure you already know that, but your results indeed look absolutely fantastic.

Thanks! I knew I've forgot something. It was split in two halves, 50 g/cm2 for the front half and 40 g/cm2 for the middle.

Hi guys! I've been lurking here for a few months, but didn't really bother to sign up until after the surgery, since I didn't know what to write about. Well, now I've undergone the procedure, so at least here's my story. Short background: 1. I started to get bald at around 19 years old, but didn't really care about it until 24 yo or so (I'm 26 now), when I've got almost completely bald (see my before photos for reference). 2. I've been using topical minoxidil for about 2 years (which surprisingly helped quite a lot, balding almost stopped, as I can judge by my old photos). I started to use fin pills around a month ago without noticeable side effects, so I guess I'll continute it for as long as I find it meaningful. I've also got Xpecia vitamins from HLC, just started taking them as well. 3. My father was balding a lot at an early age as well, so I guess that's where it all comes from. The surgery was conducted by dr. Elif (extractions) and dr. Bekir (implantations), as well as 3 or 4 nurses. They all were very professional, helpful and nice to talk to. Overall I felt that HLC takes their cases fairly smoothly, guys definitely mastered the whole process after thousands of procedures. I have nothing more to say though, I will judge their work by the result. That being said, I don't have any huge expectations for several reasons: my head is pretty big, so area to cover is higher than for the most people. Apart from that, I started to deal with the problem way too late, so it's only natural that results won't be perfect. But I also should say that I expect considerable improvement from such a highly regarded clinic and fairly high amount of grafts taken. I mean, if situation won't really change much, I will be dissapointed. Oh, by the way, they said I have around 8000-8500 grafts available in my donor area. So if result will be satisfactory, I will most likely come for the second procedure. Okay, now I think I've told everything important. I will try to update photos every month. I will also be extremely thankful for any opinions regarding post op photos, since I can't judge them by myself due to lack of experience.
