Any update? This result is insane considering your starting point

I have my hair transplant booked with Dr Konior for early 24. Anybody have any experience with him? His results seemed to be pretty top shelf and he Definitely gets top dollar but I’m okay to pay it if I get the results. I’m a NW 3 so most of it is hairline work. My plan is to go cheaper route to difference clinic in the future if I loose hair in crown or mid scalp, but want the best to do the hairline and form the foundation. Good approach? 

how long did it take for you to get the appointment?

impressive and with more thickening over the next 6 months. congrats!

Any updates?

All these answers are incorrect You shouldn’t be using Nizoral for at least 6 months it can harm the grafts 

I didn't know that. Can you link the article for us?

going to look amazing

The before and inmediate post op pictures taken at the clinic are great.

The 13 months after posted by the patient, not so much. Doesn't show the hair slicked back. In fact, he covered his hairline with the hair combed that way:

This is a great pic, but...he took at at 6 months, and as you know, hair transplants need around 12-15 months for the final result. So still not very useful:

 

Not trying to come across as a hater or anything like that, in fact I think he would benefit a lot from taking the after pictures himself, like most reputable clinics do (ie: Feriduni, Konior, Mwamba, Zarev, etc).

But as said earlier, final result pics are not good enough, and that's not the fault of the patient, because he doesn't even need to post anything. That should be Pekiner's duty, like he did with the before and inmediate post op pictures (which are perfect).

If the slick back hair looks like that at 6 months, I think most people would be thrilled. I would imagine it would look even better at 12 months as it gets thicker.

It's not because he is banned here, it's because the quality of the pictures presented elsewhere. It doesn't matter if they are 1 or 2000, bad quality pictures are useless. 0 multiplied by any number is still 0.

Clinics have to present their work with high resolution, honest pictures. If they don't do it, that's their choice. If they don't do it, it's safe to assume they have something to hide.

Patient posted results are just a confirmation of the results posted by the clinic, and can't be solely used to judge the clinic's work because they are not taken with a good camera and following a detailed protocol, simple as that.

This is for any reputable hair transplant clinic, not just for Pekiner.

Not going to waste more energy with this btw.

 Patient's own photos and personal accounts of their experience with surgeons are the best reviews since it's less likely to be edited or cherry picked by the clinic. However, good quality photos are needed to make a fair assessment of the work. Fortunately, there are quite a few good quality photos on this forum (and others) of Pekiner's work. If you did a simple search you can find them. Here's one (of many) from here:

He's definitely one of the best. His work is super clean and your donor looks almost undetectable.

Donor at the 2nd month:

Scars are noticeable when getting a fade haircut. I see a long brown scar from the headband (used to prevent swelling) which I hope is not permanent.

I've seen that scar on a lot of his patients. Is it strictly from just the headband? If not, I wonder if it's something else during the procedure causing that scar. Otherwise his work is immaculate

This is super dense. Going to be a great result

super clean work. what is the price is I may ask?

Looking good so far.

Were you able to get a consultation and surgery on the same visit? It seems like a separate in person consultation is required now which can be difficult for those living in the US.

Wow. Congrats bro

Great results. How's the donor area looking?

Congrats on achieving phenomenal hair! Do you have any photos from before you started finasteride and minoxidil? Do you think fin or min made more of a difference? I'm considering meds and am curious which one people think had a greater effect. 

Bisanga now requires in-person consultation prior to transplant so it's challenging for people like me in the states. I will look into Dr. Mwamba now if they have comparable results.

Did you opt for Dr. Bisanga only or did you also have Dr. Kostis work on your hair as well?

Amazing results. Can you show us how the donor area looks? 

that hair regrowth from the meds only was insane
