Thank you kindly @Gramatikfor the encouraging words and im soooo looking forward to see the results myself.

Thank you @Gatsbyi appreciate your words of encouragement and for your valued opinion, it does set my mind at ease, sure it's a mind game for the most part but thats why I do appreciate this site and all you who post so I can spend hours looking and seeing how they progress in similar situations. In regards to the pimples, I did pop a few especially on the donor area earlier but as from a few days ago forward im just leaving everything be as it is. Thanks again I do appreciate it.

Hello, Yes, Dr Yaman did discuss the hairline right away and he was really open to hearing my request/concerns and working with me to get that natural hairline, He did tell me how he would do this but i don't recall exact wording plus with the language barrier it was more of drawings and other methods, so he does take that seriously in his work. sorry i'm not much of a help in regards to your question as I'm not entirely knowledgeable about the technical's nor the proper terminologies involved in creating that perfect hairline, As for me personally Dr Yaman told me that he was creating a natural hairline so It would not be detectable and look natural so I put my confidence in him and his work. HTH

Thank you I appreciate the kind words. Yes, I will ask Dr Yaman and not pop anything but just keep clean. Good luck on your search and hope for the best on who you choose to go with. I will continue to post updates and hopefully this will help.

Tomorrow will be the one month mark since my HT and uu777 had asked for an update so sure here are some pics. I do see some shedding now that i'm looking at the pictures but still hoping things are right on track, (input is always appreciated) , I do suffer from itching and i find the saline spray to be effective, hoping that ends soon lol. I also am dealing with pimples both in the donor and recipient area... I was wondering should i pop them with care or just leave them alone?

Thanks for the encouraging words, I thought so myself and I don't even notice a difference to be honest. I have to agree in regards to beard healing better then scalp after my experience, I did see your journey and It really inspired me. At first, once i saw the beard extraction area right after it was complete, I was thinking Ohhh there is nothing left but a few days later I realized, ok breath I'm good.

Hello Vann, YES!!! It really is a great feeling. It's actually wasn't an effort at all, I just followed Melvin's video and let it soak... once the time went by... I believe it was about 30 min or so and they came right off on day 10. The shedding though is quite minimal I might add, from what i can tell anyways.

Hello, In regards to CC payment i'm not sure if Dr Yaman's office accepts that form of payment, I know that most prefer cash but just ask them, they ar quick to respond. Hopefully that helps. I am now 4 weeks since having my procedure and I will post some pics in a few min.

I couldn't have agreed more, when I first saw the extraction holes I was thinking all was lost and I wouldn't be able to grow neck hair, not that I would but it was a thought, but after a few days I was shocked. Even today it's like back to normal, if that makes sense. I personally don't even see a difference at all, like I never extracted anything. Quite pleased. I'm hoping I won't need another HT to fill or whatever, but If I do I'm confident I may as well have some more BH to tap into if i had to. but i'm patiently waiting... Trying to stay patient lol as I've seen that patience is needed in HT surgery and i still maintain that I will have a solid result without the need for another IMO.

For those who may be interested Im now on day 16 & 17 from the day of my two HT's and the scabs are all off, they came off by day 10. I'd also like to mention about the after care I am experiencing with Dr Yama, They have reached out to me a couple of times to check on the progress, they had also asked me to send some picks after the 10 day wash which I did to see how the progress is going, everything from donor to the actual recipient area to see how it is looking and to advise what to do now in regards to shampoo etc. So It's good to know they dont just perform the surgery and leave you there, for a patient I feel that's important because they do this daily I don't and we or I at least have a tone of questions which they answer always with no problems. I don't know if the pics are good quality but hopefully they are good enough to see what's going on. Thank you for allowing me to post and hope this may help someone. Thanks.

I am as well am a patient of Dr. Yaman, a very recent patient and I can hardly wait for my results. Well done here, you & your team are a great to deal with, a true heart felt compassionate man who takes pride and the utmost care in his work. IMHO

Thanks for the reply... could you expound upon the term donor management and how that could/did affect me? I believe that the donor area is healing nicely based on what i can physically see. I'm hoping and believe i will achieve a great result with a good density that i wouldn't need a 2nd procedure. In regards to the grafts per cm2 in each area i don't recall off hand but i have contacted Dr Yaman's clinic and they will get that info for me and i will update once i receive that information.

Just to put it out there we also initially set out to do upwards of 7 - 7,5 grafts but after the examination Dr Yaman was more reserve to not to take that many so we don't end up in a over harvest to the donor area in case id need a touch up 10yrs down the road or so. I thought this was worth mentioning. Thanks!!

Thank you for encouraging words, Im staying confident that once everything begins to grow i will get a nice coverage and it will look dense. In regards to asking for manual extraction, no i never asked for it. During our discussions it was first discussed that i would do 4k grafts to the frontal and mid with the crown to be done in 9 months or so, then I asked could we do the crown at the same time, was that an option? so Doga ( Dr Yaman's director ) told me to leave it with him and he would consult with the doctor and get back to me. He did get back to me, and after speaking to the doctor and re evaluating the additional pics the doctor was confident in doing the crown as well But ...... I was to stay 5 days due to a 2 day procedure opposed to the one. also the doctor said he didn't want to use to motorized tool not to jeopardize any of my donor hairs, he wanted to to it manually, he mentioned it would be a lot longer sitting but better to go the manuel route and finally he would use ozone therapy to give more strength to the follicles due to the amount of grafts so we can achieve a great result. Once i was there and after the first initial meeting with Dr Yaman, he said to me that he was confident in my case and he was positive that the outcome was going to be surprisingly well and he mentioned that was going to use to use oxygen. After the first session and in the morning when I went back he was at his clinic eary, as was I and it was only the two of us so he sat next to me and got up and started to examine the work from the day previous and was extremely pleased in the work, he got excited, which got me excited, and said to me that today he was going to use oxygen again as it helped from previous day. In all this, it was all Dr Yaman who set this all up himself, I believe he is a genuine Dr and he showed me time and care to achieve the best overall result in my case and i am confident it's going to grow in nicely!! ( fingers Crossed!! ) The cost was double I believe the standard cost for the arround 4k is $ 3250. only going by what the price was prior to the double procedure, but once we discussed the 2 day double procedure the price pretty much doubled to $ 6350.

Thank you kindly I’m excited and happy to hear that!!

Yes, for me it was all done manually on the head area, but they did used the motorized method on the beard area.

here is a pic of the neck area now, 5 days later...

Here is a pic of neck area right after extraction....

Thank you, They took approx 1300 from beard and the rest from my head roughly. The location of the beard donor was my neck and under my chin area.

Hello Everyone, I'd like to share my experience with Dr Resul Yaman. First I have been an observer here for a while and I've learned much valuable information here so thank you to everyone who takes and took the time to review and post helpful information that we all can benefit from. I have followed many of your stories/experiences and found them very helpful in my personal journey and I hope this may help others as you all have helped me. I started going bald when I was about the age of 22 and it's always had an inner impact on my life, outwardly no one could tell but inwardly I was never happy about the way I looked. I spent some time many years ago seeing my options here in Canada but was way out of my budget and i kinda let it go for many years not believing anything could be done for me. A few years ago I revisited the idea of doing a HT and I chose a clinic out of Turkey that i later realized ( with the help of this community ) was a "Hair mill" so Im kinda glad the covid shut down happened which enabled me from getting the work done a few years back and it gave me the time to research more and find this community. After considerable consideration, reviews and a few other different factors I narrowed my procedure down to 3. Dr Bicer, Dr Turan and Dr Yaman. My response from Dr Bicer's was none at first but a response came once I had already booked which stated to wait several months and grow my hair longer and resubmit pics. Dr Turan's clinic was relatively quick and was on par with Dr Yamas's clinic but I just felt more comfortable with Dr Yaman due to the time, care and support they showed me, not turning away any question but answered them thoroughly. I dealt primarily with Dr Yaman's director Doga who really is a great guy to deal with, I personally had a great experience with him as a genuine individual. So I booked my HT with Dr Yaman's clinic for sept 13 & 14. I arrived on the 12th and was met buy there driver who took me to the hotel, I got settled and was picked up from the hotel at 8;30 in the morning, and brought to the clinic, did blood work and met with Dr Yaman. The doctor checked out my donor area, took time to explain the process, Drew the hairline that we agreed upon, a little more recession for a more concentration on top and crown. Then they used a 3D tool that counted my grafts in the donor area which was quite interesting. we went through thickness of hair and talked about coverage with the beard, the doctor was confident that i'd have good coverage on front, middle and crown. He concentrated on the front, middle the first day and the second day would be the crown. The doctor also determined that they would do all the extractions by hand with no motor tool being used at all. Day 1..... we began about 10 am and the doctor himself did the freezing, and I did find it at times painful, but as Doga puts it " no pain no gain ". Then the head of his team who has been with him for 10 years did the removal with the Doctor coming in at least 3 times every hour to see everything, he only books a max of 2 people per day but this day i was booked alone for most of that day. after about 6 hours or so the extractions were done and the Doctor came in to do the opening of the channels himself then the implantation was carried out by his lead team with again Dr Yaman continually coming in to check quite often and him reassuring me what was going on and how happy he was about the way it was all coming together. I also was put on oxygen during both procedures, Day 1 & 2. Day 2 pretty much was carried out the same way, same people etc, The freezing was a little worse in my opinion im assuming due to the freezing from day one and the bruising that was left due to the pokes from the day before. Once the head was finished we moved on to the beard area which was carried out by the same people again and once done we took a break, had lunch and then I went back and the doctor came in again to open the channels as before in the crown area. once finished around 7 or 8 pm was bandaged up and we talked for a bit and was brought back to the hotel. The next day I went back to the clinic for Ozone Therapy, again Dr Yaman came to check out everything and he was extremely pleased how it looked, The following day i again went for another session of Ozone therapy saw the doctor and again was reassured everything looked fantastic. Then on the final day I was brought back for the first washing and was taught how to continue the washing process at home. So everyday i spent time in the clinic, and during this time i got to meet some great people and especially the staff. To conclude I can say that i am well pleased the way everything was handled, the way they explain everything, the care taken from beginning to end, Dr Yaman is a straight up guy and a pleasure to deal with as well as his director Doga, just great all around guys to deal with. I'm sure there is so much more i left out but overall i feel happy especially on the inside when i look in the mirror, I do hope everything turns out and looks good once a few month's roll around and the growing begins.... now the waiting game!! i will keep updating to show progress. -2080 Single -2830 Double -1230 Multiple I apologize for the lengthy post and I thank you kindly looking and for allowing me to share my experience. Please let me know what you think, Thanks again!!

Thank you for your detailed experience and also the pics. The results look good. I am leaving tomorrow to do my procedure with DR. Yaman. Thanks for the post much appreciated.
