Great write up. Wish you the best result

Perfect, thank you @Melvin- Admin

Hi All, Firstly, thank you to the person(s) responsible for this informative platform to allow people like myself to educate, follow and be inspired by peoples hair loss journeys. Its been both insightful and humbling, that people can collectively share a space to discuss hair loss without the stigma or ridicule attached. As I'm new to this platform, id like to draw off peoples own experience / knowledge in terms of pre and aftercare tips, to give myself a chance of achieving the best possible result. I have booked by procedure with Fuecapilar in February next year with Dr. Turan, roughly 2500 grafts for the frontal area and temples. I have undergone an FUT procedure before in the UK however it wasn't great (also due to my failings) and another is required to increase density. Being honest, I could have done more in terms in of preparation and aftercare. Could anyone recommend their best tips in response to the below. 1. Any recommended shampoos, supplements etc after the procedure? 2. Any recommended oils etc to assist with the donor healing 3. Any guidance when I can apply my combined Topical minoxidil and topical finasteride spray after the procedure. I was thinking of taking oral finasteride in the 10 day period before the procedure and two weeks after and ceasing with the topical just to keep the finasteride in my system, even though it the oral gives me slight side effects (loss of libido etc.) Ive seen that minoxidil should not be applied to the scalp 10 days before due to potential blood loss. 4. Recommended time after procedure to have a buzz cut across all of the head after the procedure. 5. . Any other pre op or aftercare tips other than the obvious of not exercising etc. I note that these are probably questions for my clinic etc, however they are a lot of conflicting opinions online so im trying to draw off peoples own experiences to hopefully give myself the best possibility of a desired results. Thanks for reading Oliver

this looks awesome. You must be over the moon

Fantastic result. Cannot wait to meet Dr. Turan and the @FUECAPILAR team when i undergo my procedure.

Just read your entire journey as I'm a newby to this forum. Your result is incredible and you must be so pleased

Hi @brandacus Are you able to provide an update of your progress please? I have booked my procedure with Turan and im interested in your progress

@alexmillne Congratulations on your recent surgery. Hope you have a great result. I am currently in contact with the Fuecapilar team and waiting on a date to book my procedure in. Are you able to expand on the overall experience with Dr Turan and his team? Did you have any input in the overall design of your hairline? I have similar hair as yourself so looking to provide density to the front and temples. Looking forward to following your journey.
