why?

It’s 50/50 to get a good result. Don’t just look at the good results posting by them, and I believe they not more than a hair mills.
Also check the recent patient reviews. 

Don’t go with FueCapilar. 

Hi, here is exactly 5 weeks update of my hair transplant surgery with Dr. Turan (Fuecapilar). My transplanted hairs have started shedding from week 4 ( maybe a little late). 

Yesterday, I got my official surgical report and graphs distribution from the clinic and I’m a little worried and disappointed about the density of implanted hair in crowns . I exactly remember I was told that they gonna implant 2000 hair in crown, 500-700 in mid scalp and 1200-1500 in frontal (totally almost 4000) but after checking the surgical report I understand that the just implant 1034 graphs in crown which is low density for 116 square cm!  1800 grafts have been implanted in the hairline and the rest in mid scalp line and the temples are still bald and not mirror after 1800 graphs implantation in the frontal. 

Also, I’m worried about the angle of the implanted hair especially in the crown area, it seems messy to me and after I took a shower yesterday, I figured out some of the hairs are totally up right !

 I would like to know your thoughts about donor distribution. 

Hey there, I saw Dr. Turan almost 1/5 months ago and transplant almost same amount (3900), I experienced some good and bad thing during the procedure like you, but congratulations for the good result you haven’t got at the end. Your hair has improved a lot especially in front and mid scalp, but I seem you had better coverage in months 9 compared to 12 ! By overall it’s good result for a range of price among other surgeons.

By the way can you let me know the graphs distribution?

The density seems good. The doctor seemed to give you a good distribution across your head. I'm curious to see how quickly your crown comes in given the number of grafts there.

For the front, did the doctor intentionally try to make it look a bit irregular to make it look more natural? Your original post didn't seem to indicate Dr. Turan rushed things like he did with @baldingbosnian, so perhaps he intended to make it look that way (i.e., macro irregularity).

The graph distribution is seems good, for the hairline I didn’t want to fill the corner and I chose to go with a conservative hairline to save some graphs for future in case if I needed a second surgery. No he didn’t rush and he did all the implantation by himself, but the problem is I don’t think the did it irregularly to make it more natural because after first days when they finished working on hairline and frontal I talked about it with them and I was told that they ran out of single graph and tomorrow they will fix it after the extra some more single graphs, but at the end of the day when I say myself in mirror I noticed nothing has changed!

Choosing surgery based on geography and cost is a recipe for regret. 

When someone can’t afford a top level surgeon what should they do?! 

I would recommend either dr Bicer or Dr Gur. 

Hello everybody, here is a quick update of my hair transplant process 15 days after surgery with Dr. Dogan Turan in Istanbul. 

The hardest part was sleeping during the first week because the donor area was so annoying, but after that everything was fine and the donor and implanted area have been healing well, and all scabs have fallen after 10th wash. 

The new implanted hairs are growing alongside my native hairs, however the hairs in frontal and temporal seem growing faster than the hairs in crown which I think would be normal. 

The only problem I have is that my hairline on the left and right side are not the same and mirror and the right side is slightly off! Also my biggest concern is the density in the crown and mid scalp areas which I lost most of my hairs in those areas. 

What do you guys think about the density in those areas? How dense should I expect at the end?!

Here are some pictures in natural light. 


 

Oh, that would be much better since the one I’m using makes my scalp like desert!! Thanks for your response Shadman 🙏

In my first procedure, I used baby shampoo which caused some flakiness but in my second procedure, I used dove shampoo which I've been using from the last 10 months, didn't face any issues at all.

Actually, i’m using the shampoo provided by clinic!! Can I use any shampoo i want? 

Hi, I’ve done the HT surgery exactly last week and today I washed my hair for 4th time, but the shampoo I’n using makes my scalp super dry and my heir becomes as rough as I can’t touch it. It bothers me so much specially in donor area! Also when I used saline Solution it start getting hot and burning!
Do you guys have any recommendations for make it better? I can’t handle it anymore!

@Ramin In my case,Salaine water which provided from the clinic was Sodium chloride 0.9%

I think you can use that one ^

Thanks Shadman, I also did check with my clinic and they said yes too.

Not sure the rules of contact on here? Assuming contact is allowed with other members but it won’t let me message you ramin, callum889dt@yahoo.co.uk if you want to discuss. I also went with turan in December 

Hey there, thanks for your massage, I’ll be in touch with you by email. 

Hi, can anyone offer any brand for saline Solution which I can buy in Canada or amazon for after hair transplant care? Since the one clinic gave me was small I ran out! 
is this a right one to use ?

You didn't need 2700 in the crown 2000 max and the rest in mid scalp. I can't understand why they put so little on my crown. I contacted the clinic to ask them to review this. Best of luck to you!

sorry, my bad.
I was told 2500 for crown and mid scalp and 1500for hairline, in total 4000, but as we don’t have the official report, I’m not sure about the graphs distribution. Anyway, I’m in same situation like you now, but don’t be worried and overthink about it, hope everything will be fine.

Hey man how was your experience? 

Hey there, after reading you thread and out chat before surgery, I did mention my concerns about the crown and mid scalp many time and I ended up with almost 3950 graphs, which i was told around 2700 of them implanted in crown and mid scalp, hope fully it will be enough, but unfortunately im not satisfied with my hair line .  Anyway I did open a thread with my picture you can check it out. Again hope we all be happy at the end 🤞

Guys do you think this is a good job on hairline? The left side and right side are not same and mirror at all !!

What day was your surgery? Mine was on the 9th April.  
Hope your journey is a success sir.

Mine took place on April 8-9, then we both were there on same day!

I’ve been in Dr. Turan clinic to do my hair transplant just 2 days ago. I transplanted almost 3900 grafts, and everything looks normal so far! However, I saw many good result by Dr.Turan and this is why I choose him I don't know why I feel I could have chosen a better clinic

hopefully we will be satisfied at the end.

Looks clean work. I wish you the best ! Btw do you have the surgical report showing the grafts distribution ?

Thanks, not yet im going to get that in couple of weeks, but it would be almost same the amount mentioned. Approximately 1300-1400 hairline, around 700 in mid scalp and 1700-1800 crown area. 

.

Thank you so much 🙏

Hello everybody, I hope you all are doing well. I would like to share my HT case in this form, and I hope it will help someone who is looking to get a hair transplant done. Also, I would say thank you to all members for creating such a good place to share and communicate with other people and use each other's experience. 

About me 

I’m almost 29 years old. 

I’ve been taking finasteride for almost 1.5 years.

Baldness grade: IV

 My hair loss has started since I was 19 by affecting the corners of my hairline, and it became much more severe when I became 25, so I lost the hairs in my crown and my mid scalp started to get thinner and thinner.  Since I wanted to travel to Istanbul to visit my family there, I was kind of limited to the surgeons in Istanbul, so I consulted with some clinics such as FueCapilar, Dr. Bicer and Dr. Yamal. I didn’t get any response from  Dr. Bicer after I sent my information to them. Although the communication was fast and good with Dr, Yaman clinic, I didn't feel safe to go there since I felt they rush to book and do the surgery! So after reading the different reviews about FueCapilar in this form and the way they didn’t rush to book me in and suggesting that I should start taking finasteride for at least a year before surgery I decided to go with Dr. Dogan Turan. 

Before surgery

I won't repeat what we all know about the process before operation, but everything such as transport, hotel, food, and translator was awesome!

The day of surgery. 

We went to the clinic and had a consultation with Dr, Turan and the translator Ahmet for almost 5-10 minutes (In my opinion this part could be much better because it seems they don’t negotiate with patient to have any specific plan for each patient , and usually the doctor himself don’t talk to you and you must make sure they know what are you looking for!!) So I let them know that my biggest concern is my crown and the mid scalp, not the hairline. So we the doctor did design my hairline and I asked him to just fill the corners a little, and not bring it lower at all so that we can make the crown more dense, and it looks more natural as well. Then they shaved my hair and showed my donor area my microscope for just a minute which in my case was pointless. The anesthesia was okay for me, and I didn't feel much pain overall (maybe 4 out of 10) . They did extract and implant in 4 sessions during 2 days and average 1000 graphs in each session. They used manual punch for the sides and motorized for the back side of the donor area. (in my opinion it is good that they divide the extraction and implantation in session so nobody gets tired and graphs stay out of the body less.)  I believe they were working on one or two more patients except me in the clinic.  Extracting and anesthesia has been done by technicians and the implantation has been done by Dr. Turan himself.  It is good to mention that I read a review in which a patient was complaining about the hygiene situation in the clinic. I would say the sterility of the clinic and the equipment is debatable, but it’s not too bad or so good. For example all staff put their mask under their nose and or the door in the implantation room was open, but overall for a surgery like hair transplant it was okay. 

The day after surgery

Due to the holiday in Turkey the clinic was closed and unfortunately the doctor himself wasn’t present to check up and just a nurse and a guy came and washed my head and gave me the necessary medication, and that's all. 

* I haven’t get the official documents from clinic about the donor distribution yet, butI will update the post when I get it,  but as I understood they implant almost 1300-1400 in hairline almost 700 in mid scalp and almost 1700-1800 in crown In total 3938 graphs. 

I would appreciate it if you tell me your opinion about the work!, and feel free to ask if you have any questions. 

here as you can see the hairline in the corners are not mirror and same !!!! one side has been covered more than the other side.
