I'm just over 7 months out from my hair transplant procedure from mid-June in Dr. Pekiner's office in Ankara. Thought it would be a good time to share my results.
Really happy with the surgery so far. At Norwood 4/5 and with thin hair naturally, wasn't expecting miracles (and was made aware of this, hence the conservative hairline) but pleased with what I've got. Pekiner and his team were super professional, sensitive to the situation, and polite. Initially rejected in July 2021 due to extensive thinning, crown miniaturisation, and unstable situation. Got on Fin / Min, tried again in June 2022 and was accepted. €2.5 per graft due to last minute replacement booking, but higher I believe in normal circumstances.
Some beard hair used just to fill out the crown area with some thickness. Somewhat noticeable in bright light due to the blonde hair, but I'm not fussed, and it's not exactly an area on display.
Surgery took place over 3 days for 4-5 hours at a time.
