Hoping the best for you brother!

In that video I see what you're saying, the right side is definitely lagging behind... post op looked good. I wonder is there are just a lot of late growers in there and caliber lagging. I can see why the clinic is like let's see in a few months but I totally get your concern. Hang in there brother nothing to do but wait and know you covered your bases and did your part. I'd still be hopeful by some measure here, concerned yes, but hopeful.

I'm new to this thread but it looks like there has been progress... hard to tell how much density was there but this looks better to my eye, I suspect by March you may be feeling quite a better.

I doubt it... I guess it'll depend on age ans general family pattern... looks like your head of hair is alright. But it doesn't look like a bad donor to me.

Cool I'll keep an eye out and touch base as it nears!

Great options I researched Pekiner and was impressed, I'd feel confident seeing him.

Well, I've pulled the trigger and I'm headed to Eugenix. Thanks to the countless detailed threads and experiences from folks @NARMAK @Ryan Daniel @Gatsby @MazAB@general-etwan @Melvin- Moderator honestly the list goes on and chances are I've read your thread and it's been beyond helpful in arriving at my choice. So thanks to all. I had a short list of a few other clinics and the folks making those threads and sharing their experiences also deserve thanks. Heck the whole forum and time that people take to chime and share their experiences. Really great stuff. My procedure is estimated at 1500 grafts so a smaller procedure and I will post pictures and my experience as it unfolds. Looking forward to it, I will be there in January. It was tough arriving at my choice, but I felt that Eugenix was very solid in their approach and in watching video interviews and listening to podcasts with Dr. Sethi, Dr. Bansal, and Dr. Das they all just seem to exemplify expertise and I liked their technique best. Their results speak for themselves, and I felt that my procedure would be best handled by them and their seasoned techs. Thus far I've been communicating with Eugenix on What's App and that has been good. I also had a great video chat with Rolstan and Rishab, they've been my contacts and they've been very thorough and helpful in answering my questions and getting things underway. So just wanted to thank the forum and everybody who takes the time to share here. It's been beyond helpful. I'll post a proper thread in January. Thanks again.

Nice deveolpmen at about 6 monthst! This is proving to be a home run result, well done!

There are a couple in Turkey that are doing good work but as @Pbaird98says, it's hard to know what you're dealing with need wise and budget wise. You can make some real lousy choices in Turkey you'd regret so tread carefully as you look into there. Verify any clnics promises of results. Scope around on here and familiarize yourself with clinics who have record of success and results.

Too early to be sure, but I'd go with shock loss for piece of mind at the moment. If your immediate post op pics illustrate a nice spread-out collection of grafts... I say shock loss most likely. Hang in there!

Looks great Melvin, very nice result and nearly at a year. Gotta be happy about that!

Thanks @Grant Giller appreciate the reply and yeah great documentation, informative and well done!

Looking good and up to standards! Where did you travel from and did you stay extra days?

Looking good, on your way!!! Great doc!

Fin side effects, I get it spooky to read. Years ago when I asked my doc... he said yep it works and it's by and large benign to side effects. I said what about x y and z Ive read about he said unlikely but stop if you experience any of that here start at 1mg daily. Been fine. Haven't had any experience with minox

Yep what @WhereIsMyMind said, this is all normal... more will shed in coming days nothing to be alarmed by.

Looks nice! Yeah I beleive you're good and past that phase. My understanding is that it's to keep the area hydrated and the scabs from affecting the grafts in a negative manner and day 10 after that wash you're gonna be ok.

Bicer is great, excellent results!

@NARMAKyeah I'd love to arrange the longer stay. Best I think I can manage is gonna be like 2 extra days post op. So I'll just have to be careful. I agree it would definitely be ideal resting up those 7 days before flying.

Thanks @Rahal Hair Transplantfor the insight, yeah I'll try to stay 2 days post op. But may be only able to manage one day. GOod to kow it's not an issue, I'll just be careful, work on the keeping the grafts moist. and have that travel pillow with.

Holy smokes that's some major event of surgery. So getting the spray past "tsa" how was that? You totally lucked out with that upgrade, I imagine I'd not be so lucky. So did you sport that little blue cap they offer? Pretty sure I'm just going to power through and deal with it. It would be 10 hours hour layover then another 10. And I'll get to see India, never been and hear great things!

What @Gatsbysaid, you'll want to do it right. I'm not sure on those clinics you mentioned, but you can find forum referred docs/clinic that will give you a much better result. Definitely do you're research and land at the right clinic. You can find something to fit your budget, there are options. Scope around on this forum you'll find some great options to meet your situation.

Great results and great write up! Nicely done. Appreciate the extra info on travel as Turkey is on my short list.

Yeah you're fine, I'd just double check with the doc. But I see no problems being 4 weeks out.

Right @HappyMan2021that's actually not a bad idea.... I may do the same. A light valuim to just knock off the edge and help it all pass by easy breezy. Kinda same boat with the long hauls, that'll be a fun post to read of yours when it gets under way.. Thanks for that suggestion!
