This area can be seen to be quite thin in one of the first set of pics you posted.

I'm kind of surprised, for 3100 grafts you guys tried to cover a very large area. Even still, I would have expected better yield at this point. You still do have lots of time left to grow though. What was the discussion like when you and Gur were planning the surgery? Did you request you wanted the 3100 grafts spread out to give some density all over? 

Yes, it was 3100 grafts and around 7400 hairs. Dr Gur told me that the plan is that i will have the same density in the middle like on the side. No i did not request to spread all over.

Have you reached out to Gurs clinic recently?

This does seem a little sparse for the amount of grafts. Yes it’s a large area and may have needed a second pass anyway but I’d also be inclined to say at this stage there should be more noticeable progress in the frontal region.

Yes, they told me that it is my fault that i did not take finasteride. 

I feel pretty sad about this operation. Thank you guys for your comments.  I was thinking to take couple months finasteride, then stop before our plans, and take it again. Do u think it make sense with some break between?

I don't think you're being negative, those grafts should have made a bigger difference and probably should have been consigned to the frontal third only, with mid scalp and crown attacked at a later date.

It does look like you had a patch there before surgery though?

Also, is there any reason you're not on finasteride and minoxidil? I think given yuour level of hairloss you need to be quite agressive with the meds/treatments.

Yes, as soon as possible, i will go on finasteride, i was advised from doctor to do not take finasteride some months before i plan to have children

While it likely wasn't enough grafts for the area, it definitely looks like a lot of them didn't survive for dinner reason. 

 

I hope your are a late bloomer, but its definitely concerning. 

I am also concerned about this. I knew 3160 grafts and it is not enough to cover the area, and i will need 1-2 procedures more. I am confused atm as the hair are quite weak and honestly expected better result. Also i am thinking why do i have some holes in my hair like there, i didnt have it before. I dont want to sound negative, just confused. 

My family noticed it too:

The most noticeable difference will be seen at 9 months post op...so hang in there and yeh please keep your expectations in check and be reasonable as only 3141 grafts has been used to cover a big area and thats why the density will be modest but will frame your face well....best of luck and keep updating ..

Thank you for your answer! Hope it turns well. 

7 months result. I think the hair are quite weak, and i am not satisfied of my density I appreciate honest feedback from you guys! I know i need to cut them soon:)

Thank you guys for reply!

Here comes the update, 7 days left to 6 th month:

How was he about irregularities in the hairline, did he discuss that at all with you?

Any other advice, especially regarding hanging around that hotel for several days afterwards?  Is room service decent / affordable?

 

Thanks,

Aaron

Cool, i had till now good experience and i am looking forward what will happen in some months.

Yes, he asked about hairline, and he preferred to do modest one.  Hotel the one that they recommend is close to clinic and is nice and comfortable. 

I think it was 85 euro per night with breakfast. Breakfast is simple and quite limited. 

In this area there is not many stuff to do as it is business place.  I am also foodie person and they have some home places but if you want to try different tasty food will be difficult, i had some bad experience with the fish restaurant nearby. Also if you want to walk around it is not the best.

I would recommend you to come some days before if you want to visit Istanbul and stay in the old city or Taksim.

Looks great. I also put down my deposit. Looking forward.

 

Is the anesthesia really that painful?

Yes, for me it was very painful as it goes a lot of times, you have something to squeeze so it helps a bit.

Guys, what do you think. Is it normal to have less hair there on this spot?

20 days after operarion:

New update.

12 day after operation.

What do u guys think?

Welcome mate and thanks for sharing. I look forward to seeing your journey. Could you advise us about your medical therapy? Have you used prior to your HT or will you use after your HT: Minoxidil, Fin/Dut, micro needling, Keto shampoo etc?

 

Thank you everyone for your comments. No i have not used prior any medicinal help. I got from Dr. Gur some shampoo, foam and salt water to clean + antibiotics but i want to use minoxidil.

Today i found out that my circulation on the skin is not so good and had different color so i got coraspin for circulation and should observe it and send photo every day.

Here are the photos one day after

Hello everybody, it is my first post here and i see that there are more and more topics coming about dr Gur.

As i am directly after op and do not feel like to sleep I would like to share my own experience with the clinic because this forum helped me to find him. Just to make a disclaimer, it is not paid review or none told me to do this and i am gonna be honest about the journey.

I am 32 years old and i am losing hair since 7-8 years  I was diagnosed by Dr. Gur with Norwood 5 progressing into Norwood 6.

There were 2 packages.

1. Vip package price 1.5 euro for 1 graft. Dr Gur design und analyse, all grafts extraction and open all channels

2: 

3000 euro, without Dr Gur all grafts extraction also with consultation design and opening of channels

I have chosen Vip package as it was my first time for the op so i wanted that everything goes right. 

I had to have my operation on the 19th December but my flight to Istanbul was canceled so i got still possibility to do it on the 27th.

So the atmoshere in the clinic translator was very nice and i felt good taken care of.

First consultation, analyse of the hair, my donor area was allright. We made hair line. 

Looked similar like this consultation photo.

As i remember 2200 grafts infront and the rest behind, crone will not be filled. 

Operation went smoothly, got blood test and then anasthesie began. This was the most painful part as it went several times, i had to scream and squeeze strong balls that they gave me. After that no pain at all, till again anasthesie before channel opening and a little pain for moment during hair putting.  Between got some food and small rest. Operation went like 7-8 hours together and 3141 grafts were transplanted.

Here are photos before op:

Directly after op:

At the end of operation got some antibiotic, painkiller in case of pain + pillow to sleep in good position.

I have not experienced any pain this night so i did not take any painkillers.

People in Clinic were very friendly, sympathic and mood was very nice.

I am looking forward to see which effects the operation will bring
