thanks for the update. The work looks great and really clean.

 
Also the price of 3000€ for 3200 grafts is a great value for money for a great surgeon like dr Gur. I think this price is affordable , reasonable and it’s not overpriced like we see in other clinics…

8 days post op

Scabs went off

Happy growing. I really like dr Gur’S conservative design. I will be following your journey.

Good luck. Looking very clean work from Dr Gur! Did you select the standard(without Dr Gur doing the extractions) or the vip package of Dr Gur and at what price ?

Slowly some scabs are coming off

Some numbness in donor are transplant area

Using additionally bepanten cream for donor area

thank you 

i selected regular package, but trust me the staff is very qualified and trained by Dr Gur so they follow all the protocols (not ofer harvesting, not going too high or too low in the donor area, etc.) The normal package costed 3K.

small update

photos after first wash

Good day gentlemen 

Just had my surgery done yesterday 

Before surgery 3 months on Fin 1mg daily

2 months on daily twice topical Minox

1 month on oral Minox 2.5-3mg daily

Before is started the medical treatment 

Photo before the consultation after 3 months of medical treatment 

Estimated availability of grafts in donor area 6000 grafts.

Dr Gur said that 3200-3400 will be enough with medical treatment. He heavily supports usage of fin. Just a comparison other hair clinics quoted me 4000-5000 frafts

Photo right after hairline design

We decided to go for my natural hair like since when i was young i was almost the same

Design of the hairline

Planned distribution of grafts

Post operation results

3210 total
hair index 2.36 hairs per follicle 
single 300 
normal single 63 
double 1324 
multiple 1523

Overall experience 

The clinic does only 2 patients a day not more. They give realistic result and Dr Gur doesn't prefer to make copy paste square hairlines that look not natural. It should suit your face, age, skin etc. The surgery was very smooth, so smooth that i even fell a sleep several times and snored (i apologised after to the staff). The most painful part was the injection before the extraction and after. All supervision and incisions are done by Dr Gur, since he is responsible for the hair design. Honestly i dont care about much the extra amenities that other clinics highlight (e.g. taxi, etc). Transportation was provided to and from, the hotel is located 3 minutes walling from the clinic. After the surgery the was review of procedure and a nice touch was that director of the clinic personally sat down and discussed with me what was good and what was not. Honestly the surgery went smooth, zero stress, you get painkiller injections, antibiotic injections, all of it. After you get standard package of after care: antibiotics, painkillers, antibiotic creme in case of zits, shampoo, lotion, all instructions. 

I m currently satisfied with the whole process and most important surgery, since the surgery itself is a top priority no flashy taxi

Today will be first was post surgery and then go back home.

Will post update pictures after several dates and when scabs will be removed.(comparing to other clinics i have minimum scabbing - and i saw some wild scabbing on the web)

Overall highly recommend 

If any questions guys,

let me know

Do you use minoxidil tablets? Can you suggest where to buy it?

Received oral minoxidil tablets. %mg tablets. Started with low dose of 2,5 mg per day and slowly coming off the topical minox

@Gatsby; @Doron Harati

I'm 28 years old. I will have 29 at the end of this year.

Well, I noticed to have sexual side effects. I mean I don't have a girlfriend but I know...

Well that's sad, I may stop and try to start finasteride little by little, starting with microdosing. Poor genetics. Is a good idea using bear? 

Is even worse this days, more and more people want to look good. And let's be honest more difficult to find someone...

My man,  you sound depressed.  Come on, cheer up. First of all, try topical finasteride (reduces the side effects by a lot), secondly jump on minoxidil. Yes, it will take time, but at least you can get strong donor area.

My apologies for the difference in lighting in the before pictures. I took these with my iPhone camera, because the DSLR was full. 

 

Pictures are taken 1 year post surgery. I combed it open in all possible ways to show the density. 

Please take note of the quality of the pictures. In my opinion, every surgeon should post pictures of this high caliber so that the patient can clearly see what they are getting into. As a patient, do not settle until you have seen good quality pictures of the  results.

A total of 2500 grafts were used during a one day FUE surgery. The surgery started at 08.00 and finished at 14.00
 

I am responsible for performing the entire surgery myself, which includes shaving, punching, extracting, making sites, and placing the grafts. My assistant helps me by sorting the grafts and providing support during the placement process. 

In addition, all communication with my clinic is handled directly by me. I personally answer all emails. For the aftercare, patients have direct contact with me through WhatsApp.

When people are talking about wasting grafts, it's not about the money, it's more so about placing grafts in places where you don't need them - like on the crown instead of using those in the future for a hairline reconstruction or in the midscalp for added destiny.. a month out should be enough time to get back your deposit at most clinics, depending on their policy. 

2 hours ago, Berik said:

Fully agree with @Gatsby. You want to preserve all the grafts you have with your Norwood 6/7 future... if you end up getting surgery before all grafts have been "resurrected" it will be a loss of who knows how many. Also, you got more results in 1 month than I have in 5 so far - I'm jealous. You definitely are a hyper responder. 

Add in dermarolling/tretinoin potentially, wait 2 years to observe Finasteride/Minoxidil full effects and you honestly might get to a point where instead of needing 5-6k grafts for coverage you only need 3k..

With this kind of a response I would highly recommend that you give this a good year to see what can be achieved by meds alone. You might be pleasantly surprised. I mean these are only 12 week results not 12 months. Definitely delay the surgery. 👌

Thank you guys for the feedback 

but even HLC in ankara recommended to use fin and minox to strengthen donor area

As i said before 

mainly after consulting FUE capilar we aiming max 2900-3000 grafts for the front

not going to waste any grafts on the crown

the mid scalp and crown mainly by meds

front will be just to compliment the meds

Update 3 months on Fin 1mg and topical Minox twice a day

Soon switching to oral minoxidil

Fue surgery in 1 month

left 2 months ago

right today

Just now, Stefaniwicz said:

Yes, because most Turkish do 4 or more, for example, the Bircan clinic does 6-7 operations per day🥲

i did my research for 2 months. i called at least 25 clinics. average number of patients per day 15.

the top ones that do one or two per day

Bicer 

gur

turan

HLC

same here but i went for normal

anyhow only 2 surgeries per day

it s for sure better than hair mill

I chose VIP, I need about 3000 grafts

They told me that there is a place in June for the VIP package

depends how many grafts you need. i chose normal

12 minutes ago, Stefaniwicz said:

Did they ask you for a deposit? I mean advance payment before arrival?

yes 

500 eur

but man, they are booked way in advance 

i did my reservation in january 

1mg daily Finasteride

Minoxidil topical twice daily

grow out as much hair as possible to see the pattern in which the hair grows

FUE capilar has a fixed price doesnt matter the grafts. Dr Gur gave realistic evaluation and dont wanna lower the hair line and make it like square (like all the hair mills do). We will follow natural like a first fill in the front and slightly the mid without over harvesting. The remaining might be covered with meds, if not there will remain enough grafts for second

Scheduled with FUE capilar for the aurgery in May. Doctor approved my routine, also added that it will help to strengthen the donor area 

latest update

on the left before

on the right after 2 months of 1mg fin and minoxidil 

better lighting and since i m naturally blond

adjusted the contrast to see better the light hairs
