Hey everyone, wanted to share some pics of my 5-month progress. No more pimples or stinging sensations like before, and the itchiness in both donor and implanted areas has pretty much disappeared. There was some itchiness when the new hairs were growing, but it's much better now. Not sure if new hair growth is done yet. Hairs still seem weak; they need more time to thicken up, I guess. The only thing is, the implanted area still feels a bit numb. Hopefully, that improves soon. Got my first post-surgery haircut around two weeks ago. Just wanted to share a couple of pics with you all.

The growth looks amazing for just 5 months. Your donor looks excellent too. So overall a very good result so far. 
As for the doubles in the hairline, this is not something that people outside of this forum will zoom in your hair line and observe. They will just see a pretty dense and natural hairline. 

Considering your hair loss problem, the huge area that you had to cover with only 4000 grafts your result does look pretty good  to be honest.

in general I have seen that other doctors zarev and pittella implant 10.000-12.000 grafts for Norwood 6 patients and you only had 4000…so it does look ok for 4000 grafts.

Also your donor wasn’t good even before procedure and the sides of your donor were weak before procedure too. So with a weak donor and with a big hair loss problem you can’t expect miracles but your appearance has changed compared to the before. 
 
Another factor that affects the result is that you have very short hairs now. In hair transplants you need long hair to get better coverage. So  you need to let your hairs to grow in order to have better coverage and Comb your hairs to the back.   

Anyway you still have 6  more months for more thickening. I wish you all the best 👍

The growth is impressive for 4.5 months 👌. At 12 months this is going to look awesome!!! Keep us updated 😀

Great results. Thanks for sharing 👍

Looking great mate 😀....Another great result from Dr Yaman...Enjoy your new hair 👌

Great progress at only 6 months...waiting for your new update ! 😀🙏

Happy growing man. In your case i would have shaved my scalp...non-shaven procedure is always more risky for the surgeons, thats why they implant less grafts in non-shaven procedure compared to shaven one...

The donor shock loss can always happen in any patient at any clinic. It depends on patient's donor too. But its temporary and it recovers after 6-8 months. So i dont think that is a problem. In general you always judge the donor at the end, not in the start which is in the healling process. With more grafts it takes more time to heal, but its ok at the end.
well, I dont think 4950 grafts is too intense since other doctors extract even more grafts in one session. For example dr pittela extracts about 6500 grafts in just one day and even 12500 grafts in a 2 day session. 

All eugenix packages are good and their doctors get the same training...So Both packages would be fine. Dr Vinita is a good doc too, so you could select her without doubt.

The work from Dr Yaman looks pretty good and clean. The extraction pattern looks fine with normal dinstances. This is just shock loss which is temporary and will go away after some months, so you dont you have to worry at all. Shock loss can happen in any clinic. 

Great and natural looking result!

great result!

You are only half way of your journey! This is going to be improved a lot in the upcoming months by both thickening of existing hairs and growth of the little hairs which are not shown now..so just be patient 🤞

Happy growing. You did a great choice by selecting dr yaman. You already had a successful procedure with yaman so you selected him again. That make sense. 

it’s really pleasant that dr yaman take good care of each of his patients individually and he does measurements of donor, plan, design, incisions and he comes to inspect the procedure many times to see that everything is fine. 

Well that’s an awesome work from dr yaman 👏

Waiting for your next updates. 

Happy growing... Dr Bekir seems to be a great choice in Turkey. I will be following this. 

happy growing 🙏 the work looks great...i will be following your journey

Has anyone ever developed side effects to finasteride or dutasteride years into taking it?

they can happen yes. You may need to lower your dose to minimise the side effects.

Hello all. Looking for advice on trusting Dr. Yaman with this procedure. I am a 30 year old who has been losing hair since early 20s. Tried finasteride in the past but stopped due to noticeable side effects. I have been using topical minoxidil. My hair loss has seemed to slow down over the past year or two but who knows what the future holds. I did a consultation with Dr. Yaman’s team over WhatsApp and they recommended 6000 grafts over two days. On his end it will cost about $6500. I am about to book the procedure for May but am curious what your thoughts are. I have been researching this forum for weeks and I want to go with Yaman due to his recent work with higher norwoods. He also fits in my budget of less than $10,000 usd. While I know many are pleased with his work, I know a couple on here weren’t 100% satisfied. But I am realistic in knowing that we each have variables that can play a role and that hair transplants don’t always restore former glory, just the illusion of it. I will attach the photos I sent for consultation. I am open to many questions.Thank you all for your feedback. 

Dr Yaman has many great results on higher nowrood cases like yours and the majority of his results are succesful ones. Also he participates in all of his hair transplant by doing the meaurements of donor and recipient area, organising the plan of the hair transplant, drawing the hairline, doing the incisions in the recipient area, doing supervision of his hair transplants and his hairlines have natural angles.

You can have a look on these great results below from Dr yaman which are similar to yours..
 

Happy growing. Nice hairline design by dr turan...👍

Good luck! i will be following..

Happy growing. 5100 grafts look a fair amount for your hairloss problem, while for crown you will need a second procedure . The work looks clean and nice. Its very good that you selected the VIP package of Cosmedica and you had Dr Acar participating in your hair transplant by doing the plan, design, hairline design, inspection and incisions. Also your procedure was done in a 2-day session which is also good. How much did you pay for the VIP package ?

Thanks for sharing your journey with us. Dr Yaman is a great surgeon and I'm sure you will have a great result. I will be following your journey.. 👍

Nice result !
