Really? Zero progress in 6 months?Are you unsatisfied? Did you contact the Dr.? And if so, what did he say about final results?

I have ultra-fair skin. I don't ever go outside, I hate it out there. I was told that my skin was sensitive and to expect my recovery period to be a little bit longer.( Though this clinic has been telling literally every patient that they have sensitive skin on this forum for some time now, so I don't know...) If someone told you that you are going to be red for 2 weeks, they are lying through their teeth. I don't know a single person who has been red for 2 weeks. Mr. Rolandas, another youtuber ( Was also red for 5+ months. Let'sGetHair (The most popular hair loss youtuber) was red for 3 months+ Literally every pale person I know is red for 3+months. I wish clinics would stop spreading this "You're only red for 2 weeks" nonsense lies. If I went to a clinic that told you that, I would cancel your procedure because they're probably lying to you ( unless you have very dark skin and are lucky) That applies for maybe 5% of patients imo, from what i've seen. If I start topical minox now - wouldn't that just induce another factor that could cause me to shed and delay my results? I'm a little wary about starting a different treatment now. Also, my body seems to hate microneedling. It causes frequent shock loss when I do it, so I stopped it. I am lucky that the trauma on my scalp is not causing massive shock loss ( I have a little bit on one side where it looks extra thin ). I was worried about a transplant because my body seems to hate being stabbed. ( At least, I think - I noticed thinning intensify after about 4 months of microneedling, so I stopped. I was using topical minoxidil for many years prior to switching to oral in may. ) ((Obviously, I have not been microneedling since the procedure, because that would be stupid.)

3 month, 1 day update. LOL Honestly, I wouldn't have done this, but when I looked yesterday there was nothing. I touched my head today and felt a lot of fuzzy. Then, I took another picture in my usual spot. We are sprouting boys. Everywhere. If you zoom in on this photo, you can see at least 100+ baby hairs starting to pop out. Think they must have realized I was writing a review and getting antsy, and Dr. Yaman must have gave them a call and told them to get their crap together. GROW MY MINIONS! GROW! I AM TIRED OF BEING A PLUCKED CHICKEN!

Donor - 3 months

I do, haha, I just don't even think about it since I thought my donor looked OK, I didn't really take a lot of pics. The only 2 good ones I have are here.

I don't think this is a huge definite improvement. I think MPB is advancing and he may need more aggressive routine. Looking at this - for example, 8 month to 10 month. If you don't look at the combover pic, this actually looks worse. Frontal third looks great but midscalp should look better since there was a considerable amount of grafts placed. This has me worried about my upcoming results too..

Hi! Long time lurker, first time poster. I had my operation with Dr. Yaman on September 18, 2023. I hope for a good result! Balding has shattered my confidence and my dating life, so I hope to take it back. I believe Lookism is alive and well today - looking better affects every aspect of your life due to the halo effect. Therefore, I am taking steps to change it. First, I went to a hair mill in the USA to get a free consultation and have my donor checked out. Turns out, i'm pretty good. LOL. Thanks, unnamed hair mill. They recommended me about 5k grafts.. I would agree. I would say diffuse norwood 7. After running around and consulting, I didn't like that Dr. Dogan and Dr. Gur go through a marketing agency (FUECapilar), thusly adding more middle men to waste money, and Yaman had invented his own spin on the choi pen, and had procedures himself. This told me that Dr. Yaman has some sort of passion for his craft. Furthermore, some Turkish surgeons are now insanely overpriced ( Dr. Bicer is literally the same price as home surgeons in the USA, LOL, get real ). Several all consultations all read the same for me, around ~4000 grafts, give or minus 500. After doing my homework, I picked Yaman. (Pre Consult: Step #1 - Thanks USA hairmill for your time! Off to Turkey I go) The Gorrion Hotel you stay at is truly nice. The breakfast there is literally the best hotel breakfast i've ever had. I'm uploading a plate from it because it's relevant to my progress. As a recovering fattymcfatfat, holy hell this breakfast buffet..I still think about it, even today. Yaman's procedure is the same - he uses loupes, did consultation, drew hairline, incision, the technicians use loupes, doctor came back to check multiple times on me during the procedure. I was Xanax dozing my way through life merrily. Anasthesia is painful - the clinic mentions needleless on the website, but doesn't seem to use needleless in the transplant. After all numby, I was lulled off to sleep by the merry noise of scratching at my brain. Recovery was typical. I had a TERRIBLE headache as the anesthesia was wearing off ( somewhere around 7 days ), and it was so debilitating I almost couldn't work for a couple days It went away though. But the clinic is awesome, the staff were nice, Doga is THE MAN ( as many people have already stated regarding this clinic.) Really everything about my procedure has been mostly positive aside from making the mistake of going back in economy class to the USA and sitting next to this distinguished woman who needed to pee every five seconds. Curse you. (Buy Business class going home folks...please..) We are now 90 days post procedure, and I hope to be turning the corner. I don't really notice any growth yet, but i'll keep updates rolling since so many people love to abandon the topic as soon as they get a good result (lol). Dr. Yaman recommended me a second procedure as well before the procedure, and said we couldn't cover the crown on the first operation - but then I discovered that it looks like that wasn't the case - maybe my recipient had a little bit more hair than I thought? We'll see what things look like. Overall my impression of the clinic , procedure, and doctors is extremely positive - but everything hinges on results. If my results aren't nice, I won't care about any of that. We'll see how it goes. I don't think I see much of anything yet at the 90 day mark..but this is the point where things turn the corner, I hope. Notes: Clinic diagnosed my hair as the low side of medium thickness( I forget the microns, sorry). I'm 37. I lift weights, don't do drugs, and have no known health conditions aside from mold/grass allergies. My Routine: 1 mg oral finasteride / day, 1.5 mg oral minoxidil per day, ketocanozle 1% shampoo 2x weekly. I've been on Fin for about ~3 years and started oral Minox in may. Multivitamins that were given by clinic 1/day, vitamin D supplements (2500IU) 1x/day, fish oil 1200mg 2x/day( 720mg Omega3), extra multivitamin. Have a collagen + biotin shampoo that I use 1x a day. Summary: My routine is on point - if my results fail, i'm going to throw a fit.
