I'm now 2 months and 13 days post hair transplant and in the middle of ugly duckling phase. The shedding phase was oddly uneven, but it appears to have stopped now. Time to kickstart the growth process!

Day 12, all scabs have bee removed. It seems to be healing nicely, and I'm aware that there might be a challenging phase ahead before things improve again. 😄

Honestly, I don’t know. I did not ask the doctors how long they have been working there 😂

Dr Cengiz for extraction and Dr Kaan for insertion.

Hello everyone, I'm now four days past my hair transplant and chose HLC for the procedure. I had an overall fantastic experience. While I'm not a big writer, I'm more than willing to answer any questions and regularly update with pictures. 🙂 Here are the most important details: The hair transplant was conducted over two days, with two sessions each day. One session included 2 hours of extraction, a break, and another 2 hours of insertion. My donor area was assessed to have a total of 8000 grafts, which is sufficient for a potential second HT (crown). Four doctors were involved in the process: Dr. Umut for hairline design, Dr. Cengiz for extraction, Dr. Kaan for insertion, and Dr. Umut performed the final check. During breaks in the clinic, you're accompanied by someone who looks out for your well-being. The aftercare is meticulously explained, providing a daily to-do list for the first 10 days. Transfer to and from the hotel worked flawlessly, and all communication is conducted through WhatsApp.

Good point, thank you! Thank you for your constructive feedback. As there hasn't been an in-person consultation, no measurements of my hair or recipient area have been made yet. The figure of 50 grafts per cm² was indeed mentioned during the consultation, but without a visual reference, it's challenging to envision the end result. When I referred to 'full density,' I meant a result that wouldn't necessitate a follow-up repair procedure. I appreciate all the information and advice shared here. It's clear I need to adjust my expectations and potentially seek an in-person consultation for a more accurate assessment. Thanks again for your help! Thanks! I will indeed document my results and progress. Hopefully, this will provide insights to the next person with similar characteristics as me -wider front portion as usual - , making their journey a bit easier. This forum is a fantastic resource! Thanks again to all of you for your support and guidance.

Thank you both for your insights. While your explanations make sense, it's still somewhat disheartening to learn that after investing €10,000, a completely satisfactory result in the front might not be achievable in one go. It's a substantial investment, and naturally, I was hoping for a significant improvement. I will continue with my research on similar cases.

Yes, I'm starting with Finasteride as recommended by the doctor, which will be about six months prior to the hair transplant. I understand your point and it makes sense, but I was under the impression that achieving full density was simply a matter of the number of grafts used. I thought that with a sufficient amount, we could reach the desired density. At least that’s what I see here from other reviews of top clinics.

Hello everyone I recently had an online consultation with a doctor to discuss my expectations for a hair transplant. This clinic is one that has been recommended by several members here, and is generally considered to be in the mid-to-high price range. The goal of my procedure is to restore my hairline and fill in the temples. Reference picture below. I'm aiming for full density in the front, so as to avoid a follow-up procedure, as any potential second hair transplant would focus solely on the crown. However, to my surprise, the doctor explained that achieving full density isn't possible, due to the need for a certain degree of spacing between grafts. Furthermore, it was explained that my thin hair would contribute to the perceived lack of density, which left me quite taken aback. Are my expectations unrealistic? Any input or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Excellent result - what does he charge per graft right now?

His first available date is in June 24. Due to work related reasons not possible for me. Can you elaborate on Yaman? It seems I confused Keser with Bicer in stretching the sessions over days. That is a name I did not consider yet, thanks.

Hello everyone, I've been a long-time lurker on this forum and I'm finally going ahead with a hair transplant at the beginning of next year. However, I require your input on the choice of doctor, with my top priority being the hairline. Here are my current possible options based on available dates in January next year: Dr. Bicer // Phenomenal feedback on online boards but sessions stretched over several days Dr. Gür // Good and very recent feedback but hairlines are often very conservative Dr. Yaman // Good hairlines and impressive mega sessions Dr. Keser // Waiting for a reply regarding available dates in January I plan to document my entire journey and experiences on this forum, as it's thanks to this board that I'm finally moving ahead with this. Best regards
