For 5 months it looks fine. We cant talk about shock loss on your recipient area, since you already had thinning in the midscalp before the hair transplant and you dont take medication so your hair loss progress. So if you dont take finasteride, its expected for hair loss to progress in all of your recipient area, since you are a diffuse thinner.
So my opinion is that this is not shock loss, but an expected progress of your hair loss without finsteride.
The clinics that Gramatik mentioned above are all great options in Turkey and worth considering depending on your budget.
BTW in most clinics of the world doctors do not do the hair traplant alone but they use techs for some parts of the procedure.
Happy growing man. I would say you to relax and be patient. Dr Turan is a great surgeon and in general @FUECAPILAR is a an ethical clinic giving consistent good results. Dr Turan's results are all great ones, so you dont have to worry.
well we dont have similar pre op and post op panoramic photos to make judgement. But it seems you already had thinng before the procedure too, and if you dont take finasteride you are going to loose more hair as the time goes...Topical has less side effects but it is less effective too than oral..better than nothing though
if you dont take finasteride, your hair loss progress too and you had thinning in all of your recipient area (diffuse alopecia). If you wanted to keep your native hair strong, you should get finasteride but you dont get..
you were not norwood 2. You had diffuse alopecia and you had thinning in all of your scalp before the procedure too as it is shown in your panoramic photo before the hair transplant.. This photo hides your problem that you had beore the procedure. We cant call it shock loss that you have now, because you already had visible gaps before the procedure.
Gur Turan and Yaman are at the same level. Yaman is propably the best value for money option, where you cant find better doctor at his price point and he has more patient reviews..most of dr yaman's results are great ones and he is generally a good option where the doctor participates in all of his hair transplants.
There are always some not optimal results in every clinic even in very expensive ones.
To summarise I would feel safe going with dr yaman.
You should do an in person consultation with a doctor to see how many grafts left in your donor, but you should have enough grafts available if you think that an average donor has 6500-7000 grafts available
Very nice result. Congrats to dr Somesh. It seems like all packages of Eugenix, even the lower packages with affordable prices, can give equally good results with less money...😃
After shaving your head pre op the surgery, it seems that you already had thinning in your scalp and balds spots even before the surgery. So you shouldnt expect full head now...But in general as i said to you minoxidil can cause some shock loss to thinning hairs that you had pre op. Anyway you should let your hair to grow and evaluate at 12 months. Now your grafts yield in the transplanted areas seems to be progressing well for 4 months. So just be patient.
Well from these pre op photos it seems that you already had diffuse alopecia before the surgery and you had significant thinning and bald spots before your hair transplant...You didnt had full head of hair before the surgery in order to expect to have full head now, but you aleady had thinning areas from before...
Minoxidil also causes some shock loss, which push some thinning hairs to fall initially and then to grow back more strong.
