@blubber
from Pekiner's post care instructions:      (which you should also have 😆)

Quote

In case of a visit to the barber in the first 3 months, the use of a shaving machine or a trimmer on the recipient
area should be avoided. Only cutting carefully with scissors is allowed.

assume this means you're ok to shave the native/donor area though. personally I'm going to just let my hair grow for the first 4 months and wear a hat, by month 4/5 I think my native fringe will be long enough to cover the new whispy recipient hairs and be pretty subtle.

looking fantastic mate. you planning on letting it all grow out so the native hair covers it while in ugly duckling? or shaving it all down?

are the scabs off now? 

how much did it cost?

Would you mind sharing when did you reach out to Dr Pekiner assistant? And how long have you had to wait to hear a response after sending your pictures?

reached out in early feb. sent photos in feb too. didn't hear back about photos til like may. got lucky and someone cancelled so I got a spot at the end of the year.

any update?

interesting, i haven’t seen any negative posts about bicer. would you say then that Turan is a better option than bicer, if things don’t work out with pekiner?

wasn't any negative reviews, just looked at pictures and didn't like the look of the density/design when I compared them to similar cases from Pekiner and others. it's subjective but was just my opinion.

Oh okay..and when is your surgery date? Dr pekiner is really good...

November. To be clear when i mentioned seeing results develop, I was talking about other patients of hers on the forum, not my own - i am yet to have surgery yet

would have to agree @A_4_Archan. I was originally booked with her after hearing great thing about her ethics - which I'm sure is all true. however I had a year until my procedure and after watching the results develop over that time I realised I wasn't very impressed with her results and switched to Pekiner

are you gonna let it grow out or keep it short?

would you mind taking some photos from further away with your face blurred/painted over? kind of hard to get an idea of the hairline design from this angle

@mr_peanutbutter I suspect that she didnt extract from there. The two photos are from different angles so it gives the illusion she did in these two, however if you look at the donor zone in the first pic, it goes a few cm above the occipital bump, and in the 2nd the extractions are made up until about the same point

@OtHt nice progress! you must be approaching month 5 now?

Wow, looks clean mate. Looking forward to seeing how it progresses

hey mate, did you end up getting it done? @JDB89

Looks great so far, do you have pictures before?

wow Crown is looking great already. Can't wait to see the result in a few months.

Do you have any photos of the hairline around day 10 once the scabs came off but before the shed started?

Did she say why she didn't want to operate on the mid scalp?

@Randomdude also, do you know what the split was between crown and hairline graft wise?

@Randomdude any chance of an update?

@mayotuna would really appreciate a shot of the hairline (hair pulled back) + a shot from a profile angle

not looking bad at all for 5 weeks, allbiet a second HT. Looking forward to seeing the final result, good luck.
