I'll be conducting a post-recovery test for you guys. I'll be proceeding with a protocol that was first conceived by Dr. Thiago Bianco for densely packed hair transplants. This protocol is about taking vasodilators after the hair transplant, which essentially is microdosing Cialis and Viagra, 2.5mg of each every day. I strongly believe that this will aid the hair transplant results and result in complete yield. I've just returned from Turkey and have already begun the post hair transplant recovery process.
Background
Hair transplants were never on my radar until I began a job that provides a decent income. Recently, hair transplants have occupied my thoughts quite frequently. I decided to go with Dr. Turan since I haven't come across any unfavorable results associated with him.
The waitlist was my biggest concern, as I heard he has a waitlist that could be from 4 to 8 months. Therefore, when I contacted the FUECAPILAR team, I immediately communicated that I was prepared to proceed at any date given a two week notice, considering I live in Latvia and Turkey is just a three-hour flight away. Fortunately, I was able to secure a date close to two weeks away. It seems Dr. Turan had an opening, which is precisely what I had hoped for! 🥂
Medication
Regarding medication, three years ago, when I was 26, I experienced diffuse thinning around the temple area. It was quite depressing when I noticed it, and I immediately started using finasteride, minoxidil, microneedling, and now topical caffeine. It appears I am a good responder to the medication, as I was able to restore my hair to a condition similar to my pre-hair loss days.

In most cases, I can style my hair to look ok. However, I still have limited options when it comes to my hairstyle. For instance, for a G-Eazy slick-back style with longer hair, I couldn't make it work because I couldn't conceal my temples 😄 Given that I'm active on social media, a hair transplant seemed like a very good option.
Day after HT
I like the new hairline. My temple peaks were filled in properly, which was an important detail I mentioned during the hairline design. So far, I've encountered no issues in the recovery phase 🔥🔥
