That is a great looking result. Congratulation Dr Bicer. What NW level is this patient lV ?

Thank you for your input. I have to say that my heart sunk a bit hearing I might be a NW7

I am only 5 weeks out so I worry about starting on something that may cause a problem with the surgery. I would be open to body hair or beard hairs I have plenty to fill areas not highly visible to provide density or illusion of density (IOD). I am not sure if Dr Gur does this?

That was Dr Gur that evaluated it as NW 5/5A

That is crazy how thick and full that hairline looks!

Who did your first and second HT's?

So this is where I am starting at a Norwood 5/5a at 59 yrs old. I am a very active individual and enjoy life and meeting new people. I work out and run full court basketball with the 20 something year olds so I am not the typical old guy even thought they do call me "Old School" I seemingly can grow hair everywhere but on top of my head as you can tell the ears really grow hair nicely! I have had my hair receding or as I like to call it in full retreat for close to 40 years now. At one time in my 20's I even had hair extensions in an attempt to have some hair. Well here I am at 59 and on this journey that I am not sure where it will end or what the results will be. Like many of you that have been here before I want to be of value to others that are contemplating this type of HT surgery. I am going to provide a lot of Pics for you to see both the extent of my hair loss from every angle possible and also what is happening as I navigate the maze that is HT. (If you notice I have a cut on the bridge of my nose where I ran into an open Tuna door on a boating a few of the pics) One thing I think would be useful here would be an area for Norwood 1 Norwood 2 ect. That would enable someone to go in and look directly at all of those cases most like theirs and evaluate both where they are and what is possible. I started looking at hair transplants many years back but saw the cost in the USA and didn't think that was a viable option at the time. Fast forward to 3 months ago and I started looking again and decided that Turkey could be an option and FUE was my HT choice. I looked at several clinics and had tentatively decided on one to get a consult. I was about to send in my pics and decided I needed more information as I had seen a lot of people that had botched surgeries and I did not want to be one of those cases. I found the Hair Restoration Network and began looking at both the before pics and results from Different Dr's. After seeing one peticular outcome from Dr.Gokhan Gur and checking his credentials I decided to send in my photos and get a consultation. I also checked for this sites recommended Dr's and he was there( very important for me) I was contacted by someone at a different number than I had seen for his office and became suspicious as I was not sure this was actually someone connected to him. I asked one of the members here who referred me directly to Fue Capilar. I sent them a message and a short time later received a message from the first contact that Fue Capilar had requested they handle this directly so I assumed the first was connected to them. This is also something that is scary as you want to verify that you are really talking to people that represent the Dr and not someone scamming you or worse. I received my consultation through What's App and decided I wanted to do this. They sent me a link to pay my 500 euro deposit which I did (took one week after consult to think and sleep on it) and received a receipt confirming payment and further instructions. I will fly to Turkey in October 2023 and have a HT consisting of 3000-3500 grafts ( this may change at consult depending on donor area...hopeful we can do more) I am excited and terrified at the same time. This is a new time for me and I have told some of my friends and family what I plan to do. I am going to share every step of this journey with this network and am also going to a video log of everything from start to finish. I hope you all come along with me....looks like I have a new HT family here!

Looks like a pretty good result there. I am scheduled for October with Dr Gur and am still concerned about not doing my crown as a second surgery I will probably not have time for at a later date.

You have to be ecstatic with this result. I am praying for something good!

That looks really good congratulations.

Congratulations Sami it looks great! Im going next month to see if they can help the old man.

Melvin I posted some pics.

I have been consulting with Dr Gur also and found his estimates to be on the lower side. 3000-3500 for mine.

This looks great congratulations.

You should be well pleased with this HT They did a great job! I am contemplating Dr Gur Im a Norwood 5/5A and the initial assessment is they think they can only do 3000-3500 and Im concerned this will not provide a good result.

Grant so I am considering Dr Gur but am concerned about the process. I have been talking to someone named Akif and he has been communicating with me and wants a deposit wired. I am trying to figure out if he is really connected to the clinic. Is this who you were in contact with?

Thank you for posting this. I am 59 and have dealt with the hair loss issue for most of my life. I have been trying to figure out who to go with and I believe this just made up my mind. I think Im a Norwood 5 hopefully I can get great result like you have....Congratulations!
