  1. Maybe month 3 when the hairs started to grow. I didnt really pay attention or was worried before 4.5 months due to so much growing happening in that timeframe. I believe I was an early grower and the problem seemd to be more than just a healing issue. But it has gotten alot better a long with my skin healing.
  2. So a quick follow-up! As you guys can see my skin has improved a lot. Been very careful and using kezo twice a week and baby shampoo between. I think the cobblestones got worse as an Effect of the irritation in the skin. Much better but still not ideal. Anyways, my hairline is still messed up and I would need a fix. This may come as a bombshell but Saifi had an opening late august, and after much talking with the doctor I am due next week. Ca. 7 months post OP. Ive seen another case where it was done 7 months post OP so its not mindblowing. So i opted for august since September and October is hectic for me, and jesus christ I want to get this started and start counting days.. summer 2024 🤞 When i adressed the fact that i was >12 months Dr saifi believed that is was okey post 6 months. I dont want any comments regarding this, as I know its ideal to wait out 12 months, and this is my choice. I think its another story when its a density and temples issue, and not correcting/filling the hairline. I think my yield and coverage behind the hairline is fine, and that makes this a lesser issue i happily believe. Ive discussed this with the doctor so end of story. so, Dr Saifi estimated ~600 grafts which seemed resonable. Ive seen some results from him which had been natural but also not that dense. Maybe cause this is a #2 procedure I can get a great density, and my situasjon (NW3) would had required a second OP anyways. Do you guys think 600 is great, or should we as patients push for higher density? I will adress this in person and Ask about a high graft per cm2, but natural appereance is number one Ive learned.. sorry for the cropped pics but Id like to bulletproof my secret identity. cheers!
  3. this is in harsh light. Ive got cobblestones and some very badly placed multis..
  4. Hello! As time being Im in the sixth month of my hair transplant journey. I was a N3 and had 2.5k grafts. Sadly its not going well. I would say that I have good growth, but my hairline is messy as hell. To top it off i also have pretty appereant cobblestones. As sad as this is its only one thing to do, and that is to find a solution. And since my currently situation is a botchered HT, id like one asap so I can have something to look forward to. I know people will tell me to wait it out, its early etc. but this hairline and the cobblestones does not seem like a «time will fix»-issue. Ive been in contact with dr.Saifi for the repair. They have time both in august and september which would mean ca.7months post op in my case. Im waiting for the doctor to respond to my case, but Im afraid he’ll insist on waiting for 12 months. Have you guys heard of any repair done before the 12th month? Keep in mind that this is only a small operation in the hairline, and I would assume 400-800 grafts. I really would push for a solution quick as I would really be having problems waiting this one out. Bangs is the only solution atm. Im 26 years and have these months have been rough to say atleast. But as any of you guys the thought of progress and a decent result have kept me sane and on track. I would lose that part if i had to wait this out 12 months just to have another 6 month commin. What do you guys think? Online I see clinics vouching for patients to wait both minimum 6 months and 12 month post OP. Since my repair would be quite minor, do you think I could be hopeful og getting it done soon? Thanks?
  5. You’re absolutely right. Interesting to hear from someone else with Yaman early this year. I asked for the price of Yaman doing the whole process, but that wasnt an option. My only consern is the use of multiple assistans, and that some of them where quite young. But anyways time will tell, and its growing at least. Good luck!
  6. Hello! Hope you are happy and growing. I went to Yaman myself in february, but I only had 2.5k grafts for my front. What was your experience with the clinic and the steps of the surgery? I Ask because I am beggining to be skeptical about my result by various reasons. Before I continue Id like to point out that Yaman poked the wholes while his «technicians» did the extraction and placement. What bothers me is that I think at least 3 technicians was involved in the placement. Anyways, my concerns are 1. Im still red, kinda like you, but I also have cobblestones. I hope these will soften with the redness as my scalp aint fully healed yet. Im also turning up my use of bepanthen and aloe vera as my scalp is pretty dry. 2. i got several multigrafts in the hairline, with especially one being horribly placed. If these gets removed my density seems fine as per month 5.5. 3. They did an harsh job on the extraction. I also observer Yaman to be a bit surpriced by the look of it. Bur thats my observation he obviously didnt make a deal out of it. Now if i use 16mm it seems kinda patchy unfortunately.. I really hope that this is due to the harsh extraction and that my donor heals properly. I think its lowkey kinda red so fingers crossed. To summarize I am very skeptical about the clinic and the technicians they have come to use. My result by this time, 5.5 months, is under doubt, but its still time for these problems to fix itself I hope. If not Im pretty sure its an result of bad craftmanship, and that is unacceptable. Anyways best wishes for both of us, and Id be happy to hear more about your experience.
