  1. I apologize in advance for the long post and maybe a bit TMI, but I would truly appreciate some advice or insight. I had a ht in January 2020. Shortly after, I began taking 1mg finasteride a day. Didn’t notice any changes in my mood or libido. A few months later, I lowered it to 1mg 3x a week (usually Mon/Wed/Fri). I am 31, single, and haven’t had a sexual interaction in over 3 years. In more recent months though, I’ve been experiencing a total lack of interest in sex and feeling numb, emotionally. No attraction to anyone either. I do suffer from OCD and have a history of depression. I was even hospitalized at one point. I take Luvox and Lamictal daily but have never felt that they impacted my sex drive. I recently stopped fin for a month maybe, then started it again, but wondering what could this be? I am overweight and have high cholesterol, but I’m working on it and recently lost 12 pounds (I’m 5’9” and currently about 237 lbs). My doctor said my testosterone and thyroid are fine, but “inflammatory markers” were high, which could be from the Covid vaccine. Do you think this is finasteride or maybe just worsening of depression? High cholesterol can also be a factor I believe. My biggest fear is that this is permanent.
  2. I had a brief virtual consultation today with Dr. Bicer. She said my donor area “doesn’t look bad” and that she would fix the double grafts in the hairline by bringing the hairline about 3mm lower with single grafts. She was honest and said that she wouldn’t really know how much density she would be able to add to the top and crown until she is able to evaluate my donor area in person. She is booked out 1 year but seems to be worth the wait. I’m also waiting to hear back from Dr. Gur.
  3. Here's my donor area today. Still not fully grown in, but getting there, so at least you have an idea of what it looks like.
  4. I still don't regret going. You make it seem like he butchered me. The hairline has some doubles in it that I'd like to have corrected and I want some added density. But for $2400 ($3400 if you include my flight), I still have a better hairline than I did before and little more density too. I just wish it turned out better, but yes, you are correct in that you get what you pay for. There are still many (I'd argue most, actually) people who went to Turkey and other countries and had amazing results. I'm sure you can find people who spent more money than me here in the US and haven't had excellent results either. My only regret is not choosing a better clinic, wish I would have went to FUECapilar instead.
  5. I recently got a skin fade, but it’s growing back so once it thickens up a bit more I’ll upload some pics.
  6. I wish I had gone with FUECapilar to begin with. I see that Dr. Turan is not approved by the forum, but he seems like he does great work and the DHI method seems less invasive. I messaged his clinic on WhatsApp a while back and they said they think they could fix me. They would either lower my hairline or remove the doubles and do it over to get rid of that “Barbie doll hair” look.
  7. The clinic I went to was his, it was inside of a hospital. I don’t think it was the same place as where he did yours. I don’t regret having it done, I was just expecting better. Luckily, my donor area appears to be healthy still.
  8. Yeah, I think Istabul is gonna be my only option lol. Thanks for those names, I'm gonna start looking into them!
  9. Jesus Christ lol. I guess I'm going to be stuck like this for quite some time.
  10. Thanks! Someone on a Facebook group mentioned them to me as well. Any idea what their rates are about?
  11. Yeah, I'm trying to stay here or maybe Canada. There's another guy too, Dr. Wolfeld in NY. I made an appointment for a consultation with him for next month.
  12. Lol. By the way, do you know of Dr. Wesley in NYC? Any idea how much he charges?
  13. Ah, yes! I had a feeling I had posted on here previously lol.
  14. My brother isn't too happy with his either. I honestly don't think he should have been a candidate to begin with, as he had a thin donor area, but they did it anyway. And yeah, I'm gonna need someone who is good at doing revisions. Any names I should look into?
