Unfortunately not. But I seem to remember him saying that what is known as "dense packing" is being carried out.

I had the transplant exactly 4 months ago (119 days or 17 weeks). I would describe the current status as very good. People who have seen me shortly after the transplant are now very impressed and strangers don't realize that I had a transplant! I get a lot of compliments from people around me. My result is particularly popular in the family, as we have the opportunity to compare my transplant with my cousins' (Istanbul) transplants. I have to say, you can really see a huge difference in the donor area and the recipient area. My brother has cancelled his operation in Istanbul and is now saving up for treatment with Dr. Keser. As you can see from the pictures, there are still a few gaps, but I can see very short hairs there, these are probably a few latecomers, I hope to see growth here in the next few weeks. The transplants are very thick and dark, which I really like. I've heard that they "regress" over time and adapt to the other hair. The new hair is not yet fully integrated into the old hair. But only I can tell because I know it. Tonight I'm going to cut my hair for the last time and then I'll let it grow. So I won't go to the Barber for another 4-5 weeks. I haven't changed my medication! I still have a bottle of Alpecin caffeine left and am thinking about massaging it into my hair. But I'm not sure. I'm afraid to disturb the actual growing! Over the last two months I've had a few pimples and red spots in the donor area, which was very irritating and uncomfortable. But it quickly went away. Two weeks ago I got sunburn in the recipient area because I was in the sun too long. I contacted Dr. Keser and he said I didn't have to worry. Other than that I'm really very happy. I keep getting compliments from colleagues and friends. When I consider that my transplants can theoretically continue to thrive for another six months, I'm really very happy. What has stuck in my mind over the last few months, however, is the fact that you shouldn't cut corners in the wrong places. As the German saying goes: "If you buy cheap, you buy twice". But a transplant isn't like a cheap electrical appliance - you can't just replace the grafts that have been removed! As always, the pictures were taken under very bright bathroom light.

Do you have any news?

The last day of the transplant was exactly 12 weeks ago. Attached are the most recent pictures. In the last 10 days I have had a lot of growth, really noticeably strong growth where the hair was noticeably thicker! I was thinking about doing a PRP treatment, but I'm now deciding against it after Dr. Keser told me “I think that doesn't work”. This statement also corresponds to the experiences of others that I have read on various forums over several days. My cousins swear by it, but since my growth is currently progressing well, I don't need it and I don't have clear scientific confirmation of it! The redness is still there. Basically the biggest problem with my transplantation! There are still occasional pimples in the donor area, but not too bad. I shorten my hair to 2 millimeters every 10 days. I am of the opinion that this makes the transplanted area less visible. As of today I no longer use baby shampoo, I have now switched to children's shampoo. In terms of ingredients, the only difference between the two shampoos is yeast, which was not contained in the baby shampoo.

I can also recommend that you do the cash thing, I did exactly that. You shouldn't worry about being seen with an HT on the Turkish streets or at Turkish airports. The Turks are used to it! On my return journey from Ankara to Stuttgart, I saw three people with an HT at the airport and there was another person with an HT on my plane. But if you don't want that, then I think that spending 4-5 days in Turkey is a good idea, then at least you would have scabs on the return journey and would be completely inconspicuous. What I would definitely recommend is that you book the last row by the window on the plane. So there is no risk of someone touching your head as you walk past or a passenger behind you grabbing your head as he is trying to get out of his chair.

Don't save in the wrong place. My cousins all have to do a HT again this year because they wanted to save money. There's a saying in Germany: "If you buy cheap, you buy twice"! Doesn't matter who it is, but let the doc do the whole job! I was at Keser and at the moment it feels like the right decision! Tomorrow you can see new pictures in my report. Keser's results speak for themselves. That's why I was able to convince my brother to save money for another three years so that he could then afford Keser. I would also recommend a HT in December or winter, because a) you don't have the sweating problem like in the summer and it's easier to keep the head clean and b) you could easily hide your operation with a hat!

Hello Alex, Is there any news about this? How did that develop? How did you solve the problem? greeting

That's what I thought, everything's okay😉 In this forum it's still social, you have to see the posts in the German forum that unfortunately drift into anti-social when there are differences of opinion...that is gross!

Oh...🤨 Why gross? It's just red, I mean I don't like it either and I'm thinking about using some skin care kind of stuff, but don't be hatin😉

Week 10! I actually didn't want to report until 2 weeks from now, but this week, four days ago, I suddenly had very good growth 👌 Hence my report today. Attached are the pictures! There's no improvement in the redness 🤮

I went to Dr Keser exactly a month after you! Looks good, I'm really happy for you. Are you taking any medication? PRP therapy? Do you do anything special or anything that you pay attention to?

How do you cut your hair on the recipient area? By machine? Scissors? How many millimeters?

It is now exactly 56 days (8 weeks) since my HT. The redness is still clearly visible. Still bothers me. Luckily, I am 1.85m and therefore taller than most of the people around me. New hair has definitely grown, for example a "widow's peak" can now be seen at the front. My hair no longer falls out in the recipient area in general or while showering. Yesterday I cut my own hair. I set the hair clipper to a length of 2 millimeters and shaved my entire head, including the reception area. You can actually see the donor area under very bright light and close inspection, but I think only if you know about the HT. In the future I would use 3-4 millimeters, then you won't see anything. I have also decided to definitely stick to the 3-4mm shaves until May, so I will shave my head regularly because it simply looks neater and more aesthetic. I pierce the very purulent pimples with a disinfected needle and push the pus out with the needle. Afterwards I always take a shower immediately with baby shampoo. I actually only want to shower every 2-3 days so as not to disturb the skin flora (on my head) and not to impair regeneration, but the recipient area always feels so sweaty and greasy, which is why I shower almost every day. The numbness slowly fades and itching and pimple formation in the donor area is very rare. I also often feel a "tingling" sensation on my head...I associate this more with the anesthesia wearing off and not with hair growth. I haven't changed anything about my medication (see pictures): In the morning left side: Dekristol Vitamin D, Mivolis Haar Vital Komolex, Dynavit Biotin In the evening, right side: Aspirin Protect, Mivolis Biotin Fun fact: I will probably be taking these medications for 6 months, I can't say whether they will help with growth, but the medications have actually made my skin better...at least 🙂

Nonsense, don't worry! Once you're there you'll notice that the mainstream media is spreading bs as usual. Last year I traveled by car for 3 weeks through the country and one week in Ankara for a HT in December. Everything is easy.

Well, first of all, the medication has a negative effect on the little junior in the pants... I would advise against that. I have had very good experiences with biotin (2x 5mg a day). The doctors already mentioned here are not the cheapest. I therefore strongly recommend that you read everything you can here in the forum over the next 12 months and, above all, check the pictures in which the patients had similar conditions to you! You'll also save a little more money during this time! What I wouldn't recommend to you are the mass clinics in Istanbul. But really take the time and read the reports, so do it once and do it correctly!
