Hi had to sign up to ask about this as i could find nothing about it on the internet. It's been a little over a month after i had 6000 grafts implanted. surgery went well and the healing process I followed to the letter. I have been expecting the hair to fall out due to shock loss and still anticipate that happening, but as i've been watching the hair, I noticed it's already growing, and not just growing, but seamlessly from the old hair that was implanted. I was to understand these hairs were temperary and just settled in the scapt to eventually fall out. Is growth normal this early? will i still see shock loss? You can see in my close up that there is a darker tip and a lighter bottom from the implanted hair. this shows that the originally darker hair from my donor area has started to grow seamlessly, i would have thought new hair would push the implanted hair out, not grow into it Can anyone confirm this is normal and a good or bad thing? and perhaps know any similar cases? Cheers, L -
Hi everyone, Logging back into this forum after soo long. For those who don't know me I go by the name of azza786...you can see my journey on my blog. I am now 33 and had my first HT at age 20 in Ottawa, Canada..long time ago I know! Between then and now, I have had a total of 4 HT surgery's including FUE, BHT and Strip surgery amassing to over 8500 grafts. With that amount of extraction, one would expect a half decent result at the very least. After persevering and persevering, rolling with the punches, being optimistic, I can easily say I have lost the battle. You can see my situation today...very disheartening and the effect its taken on me on a day to day basis over the last 13 years has been devastating...I struggle to talk about its impacts on me to anyone as it was something I had wanted to tackle and get out my way and move on in life. Ofcourse, I have moved on in life but the impact my experience has left with me has made it all the more worse. Over the past 13 years as you can see I have tried all the recommended pills and lotions but I don't know what will help me now. I am depending on a hair system to get me by for the last 10 years but that hasn't been easy to fathom till this day. What rubs it in for me is not just my investment into this in the attempt to counterattack it and not seeing a result but seeing others who have been successful in their surgery's and I'm sure have moved on with life. Don't get me wrong, there is no jealousy- no need for it but more a relative disappointment for myself as to this is not what I wanted. I'm sure alot of people would say shave off the hair. How would that be possible with a scar that is there on the back of my head? There is not a single day that passes where I think of what I can do. I am and have always been a risk taker with positive hopes but this has been devastating to say the least. Surely, there must be a way. Sorry if I have cribbed too much...just sharing my pain which I find tough to share with people. Any help, advice or suggestions would be great. I really need to find a solution as I don't want to rely on hair systems for the rest of my life. What makes it more unfortunate is despite the troubles it has given me, somehow I have managed to keep my youthful appearance. I wouldn't say it's just the system but it's the way I am. So having the loss that I have just makes it worse. Thanks guys! Azza -
Hey all! Decided to make a post here, because I wanted to track my experience from the beginning. I am a soon to be 28 year old and a fairly fit male. I have been on finasteride and minoxidil for around 6 years and attempted to get a HT at age 23, but was turned down due to young age. Now at an older age I decided to just do it! I was told I needed around 1500 grafts for a dense-pack fill. Let me know if you guys have any interest or questions in regards to my story. Note: at the time of my procedure I had just turned 28. i decided last year around September that I was comfortable with getting a procedure done soon. Since I knew that the top doctors had waiting lists up to and over a year I decided to bite the bullet. As an engineer by trade I spent countless hours researching and planning. I had originally wanted to get my procedure done by one of the top doctors in Spain. However, I had visited Spain last October 2019 visiting and the long flight plus the unknowns of recovery in a foreign country did not seem too convincing. I iterated and went with who I felt was the best doctor in North America. I go a little bit in depth with how I choose Konior over other doctors much closer to me in the YouTube video. I posted a lot more background info on myself as well as my history with hair loss among many other things please watch if you are interested. My surgery went amazing and my experience during the planning with Konior was nothing short of amazing. Once again for a more detailed breakdown feel free to watch the videos.

I had 400 graft FUE procedure with Dr. Vikram Jayaprakash at the Knudsen Clinic in April 2021. He asked me about my goals and I told him I wanted the small patch on my left temple to be the same density as the rest of my head, and I wanted to be able to wear my normally swept to the side, as for some time I have only middle parted my hair to hide the loss. As I only have minor hair loss and have been on both Finasteride and Oral Minoxidil for some time I thought this would be fine. Since I had the transplant I have had very poor growth and it appears he has planted some very thick double and triple grafts right at the front of the hairline and temple. I'm so disappointed and depressed by the result and mostly either middle part my hair or wear a hat or beanie nowadays. I actually preferred how it looked before the procedure, at least it looked natural. Everyone I tell about this say I should have gone overseas but it's only a little procedure, how do you mess it up so badly? Anyway I think the 400 graft estimate was far too low, especially since only 300 went into the left temple which is my problem area, and 100 into the right temple which had a small amount lost too. I'm at 6 months now but anyone who says I'm randomly going to have a boost of growth is fooling themselves. Any advice or comments would be appreciated! I'll try to post before photos and procedure photos but if there's anything specific you want let me know. Thanks! -
Hello! I am a 23 year old man that strongly is looking for a hair transplant. My temple areas are gone and for one year now I have realised the hair receding is almost the same. Since a young age my front hairline was never good. I am tired of having bad confidence and I believe at my age I should enjoy my life and have confidence. In this young age it matters that I bring my confidence back. I hope you all understand. I have some knowledge about hair transplant and I know people say wait until you are 30 or over, but seriously if I lose all my young years with bad confidence, then it doesnt really matter if I have hair or not when I am above 30. I understand the risk is that I should do several hair transplants and I am aware of that and I will risk that. I am sure every one of you understand my point. Where can I find a good hair transplant clinic with a reasonable price. A clinic which has experience and can give a natural hairline. Yes I know about Turkey, but there are more clinics there than humans and you have to be aware. I have heard many horrible stories about treatments there. You have to really know the place you go to In and Out to be sure you are working with professionals. I hope you can help me out so we can check out whats the best options I have for a reasonable price. I hope for a price range between 1000-3000e. I have contacted many hair clinics that include everything, but its not that easy to just book a place and go for it and risk it without any confidence in their experience. -
I have had a hair transplant here in Australia. The clinic says it is 2300 grafts, I counted and found 1200 grafts. please look at my photos and say who is right?

Hello Everybody! I had been reading up on hair transplantation and good clinics in Istanbul for 3-4 months here and in many other forums, and would like to share my experience at Medeks Hair Center with you here. I am 25 years old and lately the hair now became less and less and I decided to have a hair transplant in Turkey. Not only the price was important for me, but also the quality. After a long research I came to Medeks Hair Center - at first I was very unsure because there were also people with bad results, but the more recent experiences showed that this clinic is quite good, and some people who also had a hair transplant there convinced me with their results. I had my hair transplant surgery on 5/25/2021 (5300 Grefts) - I was most concerned about pain, which apparently some patients experienced a lot (anesthesia); I actually didn't feel that much pain, only the first 2-3 minutes were a bit painful, but after that everything was very fine. First, the grefts were taken, and right after that, Mr. Gökhan drew the front hairline. Then the "canals" were opened, and the grefts were implanted. Everything went quite well - of course the first 10 days were not quite fine, because one should only sleep straight in order not to damage the grefts, but on the 10th day, after the crusts had now fallen off, I could sleep normally again. I actually had hardly any pain after the operation. Now I am on day 13 after my surgery, and have attached on YouTube the first 10 days compiled. Until the 1st year, I will post all my experiences here and on YouTube. My Video on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yYr9bokBP7M -
What do you think of my hair transplant guys?

When people think about their losing hair, often times a thought sparks in the mind about getting a wig to replace all of the hair loss. This might be a solution and might make you feel good in the short term, but here is why getting a wig is not a permanent solution and is not something you should consider pursuing in the quest for better hair. Thinking about the nature of a wig, it cannot be a permanent solution because you have to consistently update the wig and get renewed wigs different wigs every time. A hair transplant surgery is once and is final, whereas a wig is recurring and is not final. One of the apprehensions that people have when considering a hair transplant surgery is that there is a lot of blood involved with the surgery but the reality is that there is no blood loss involved in a hair transplant surgery. Skin problems – Wearing a wig causes skin irritation and itching and is not a permanent solution because it causes scalp itchiness and redness and irritation. On the other hand, if you were to go through a surgery, Aren’t done by trusted doctors – A wig is not made by a doctor that is well trusted and has years of experience and training doing something repeatedly. Doesn’t solve the problem – Wigs are inherently a short term solution and don’t address the actual problem, the problem is that there is not enough hair on someone’s head and a wig is simply window dressing to cover up this aspect rather than offering an actual well thought out solution. Can lead to even more hair fall – Wearing a wig can actually lead to even more hair fall than normal. Wearing a wig stresses the hair follicles at the base, which makes it a problem for someone who is concerned with their natural hair and increasing their number of hair follicles. Stress on the hair follicle causes the hair follicles to gradually weaken and eventually fall out of their natural place. The excess stress on the hair follicle is not good for existing hair follicles as well as subsequent hair growth. Regular Maintenance – Wigs require a consistent and constant investment, they’re expensive and need to be renewed after a while. In the long run, a hair transplant could actually prove to be a better investment than a wig. If you’re considering the cost of a hair transplant in Mumbai then it might actually be beneficial to get a hair surgery than it would be to get a wig. If you’re looking for a better solution than wigs then you might want to look for a hair transplant in Delhi or Hair transplant clinics in Mumbai.

Hi, My name is Sim, I am 27 years old and i am from Canada. My friend and i have decided that we are going to Eugenix hair transplant in india. After doing research for about 5 years we narrowed it down to either Darling buds and Eugenix in india. After looking into both places to the "T" we feel like the results at eugenix are more dense then darling buds. The method used a Eugenix is a bit different then the method used at darlings buds thats another reason we chose Eugenix (Eugenix uses DHI introduced in 2013) . Darling buds have been around longer and might have more experience but we felt like the results at Eugenix were better density wise. I will be posting my overview about the surgery along with pictures every month and how my trip/surgery was at Eugenix. We both have decided that we are going to go with the "Comprehensive and exclusive package" that Eugenix offers and we both decided we are going to get are hair transplant done from Dr.Anika Bansal. We will begin are journey to india on March 5th 2020 and are surgery will take place March 9th and 10th 2020 once the surgery is done i will start posting my progress, grafts implanted, before/after pictures, monthly updates, and other information that you guys would like to know. I will also be putting up videos on my youtube channel of the progress every month, i was told by many of my followers to do so because most people following me want to get a hair transplant and obviously want to see the results before commiting to do this big procedure. I will put a link up of my channel once the surgery is done so you guys can follow that as well. I am excited and nervous about this, I've been waiting for a long time. Feel free to message me anytime and i will try my best to answer your guys questions.

Hi! I'm currently saving money for a hair transplant and just wondered if anyone has any experience with moving beard hair to the scalp? My facial hair is thick and hard (please don't make any jokes), and I imagine it will feel super weird with having hard strands of hair on the head where the majority of the hair is thinner and feels softer. What do you think about this? -
I Don’t know if this is Hair Loss Or Hair whorl I don’t know how my Hair Whorl Looked like.

Hi, I'm Andy Sharma, I'm from India... I suffer visible hair loss since almost 10 years and looking for a permanent and natural solution. I know I have waited a long time but in my experience when I see different different hair transplant results, I'm literally scared to whether go for it or no, cause some people have very unnatural hair transplant done, some people are having big scars at back of their head, some people shocked me with the cost involved and the various technologies involved in hair transplant (everyone claim they have the best technology) added more and more confusions only. Still hopeful and would like to go for a transplant this year for sure... I'm looking for some suggestions, learnings and outcome of patients which can help me choosing the right hair transplant procedure with right people. Looking forward for some nice suggestions and words which can help me in making my mind and going for the best. Thnaks. -
For a long time I have been interested in Dr. Diep due to his YouTube collection over the years. However after reading a lot of recent negative reviews about him in this forum, I want to broaden my options. Dr. Hasson seemed like an awesome surgeon, but unfortunately he is in Canada. I cannot leave the states currently. I would love to hear from others on here who they think are really good hair transplant surgeons! My hair loss is progressing to a Norwood 6. I have realistic goals. I don't need to lower my hairline to anything crazy. I just want to have good coverage on my crown area and then work upwards. I understand I may need multiple procedures. I do not take Finasteride due to side effects. The only preventative measures I take are Biotin supplements, iRestore low level laser therapy, and Nioxin shampoo. I tried shaving my head during quarantine and 100% do not want to be bald for the rest of my life. Hair transplant is the way to go for me. I am 26 years old currently, here is a photo of my scalp: -
Hi people of the hair transplant community, I am going to visit a doctor in a few weeks. I have spoken to him on phone, after looking at my pictures he said you should go for FUE because of the scar. I do no want to just go for it just because he said so. I want advice from you guys who have experience with each procedure. I will attach my pictures so you could see my current situation. Here are the main concerns I have: 1. Scars in FUE vs FUT? 2. Which procedure will give me a more natural and dense look? 3. How has your experience been with either FUE or FUT? -
I wasn't going to share my experience but I felt that after everything I got from this forum and the fantastic experience with Dr. Nader, I had to to share this and give back to the community that helped me through this. I started losing hair in my 20's and then it stopped (or that's what I thought). I truly believe since then I lost my hair slowly and progressively until now. I'm 36 years old now. My hairline was never horrible and I didn't have peaks that really bothered me but I started noticing a lot of hair loss when looking at my pictures and seeing a much wider forehead each time. I had issues with hair loss in the crown area that I would easily cover up but then recently I also saw less volume on the front side of my hair. For the last two years Toppik, hair spray and Loreal Root Cover where my best friends but it got old too fast. I live in SoCal where generally is hot. I realized that I would get horrible migraines every time I used the root cover spray if I didn't shampoo my hair within a couple hours. I did some research and I realized of the horrible chemicals used on this spray and I started wearing a cap and just using the spray for important events or occasions. It was too much work and I was stressed out all the time thinking that somebody would touch my hair and their hands would be black all the sudden. I got used to wearing a cap all the time and my selfies did as well but every time I got home and took the hat off, I would feel like I didn't recognize or like the person that I saw on the mirror. I started looking at other people experiences and came to this forum. I travel a lot and I really considered Thailand on my last trip but I thought it was too far of a flight to come home for recovery right away so I kept looking and that's when I came across with one particular review about Dr. Nader in Reynosa, Mexico. I kept looking for stories and experiences and within weeks I made my decision. I read that it was really hard to get in touch with him so I was ready for an email battle. I sent the same email in Spanish and English with same Subject. I would send it at 8am every day. Same email. Same time. Seven Days. I then received an email from Brenda (medical assistant) and we got the conversation going. I first sent them some pics and Dr. Nader suggested me to go to my doctor to make sure that I had not alopecia or other illness that would make me ineligible for a hair restoration. I did so and results came all good. I got back in touch with them with new pics with better lighting and I asked then that I had to get this done before the end of the summer. Then Brenda replied with the only availability at the moment on July 5th and you know I TOOK IT! Once you have a date, Brenda is a lot more responsive and she always copied Dr. Nader in all emails. He knows everything that is going with you and he communicates with Brenda about you after reading each email. Dr. Nader only accepts one patience per day and he is with that patience from around 7:30am to 6:30pm so he has little time to reply to all emails himself. I booked my flight to Texas and Dr. Nader said he would book my hotel right by the McAllen Airport. I received the confirmation about a week earlier from my trip for two nights at the iStay Smart. Great location and hotel with great breakfast and a mall right across the street. Got in at 6pm on July 4th. Staff were wonderful and most of them already know about Dr. Nader because I believe we all use the same hotel and we all check-in with a cap and check-out with some more hair. His driver, Mr. Santos was supposed to pick me up at 7:45am but he was already in the breakfast area at 7:25am. Great guy and great conversation. If I was stressed about something, it wasn't about the surgery but about the drive to Reynosa. I travelled right after elections and things were a little more crazy than normal. I kept looking at the local news and I followed the hashtag #ReynosaFollow on Twitter that it helped me a lot but also freaked me out in several occasions. The drive was what I was more nervous about, even though I've visited several countries in the Middle East. We drove about 25 minutes to the office, crossing the border very easily into Mexico. The city of Reynosa seems old, disorganized... It reminded me to and old town in Thailand. Most important, I never felt in danger, as Mr Santos drove carefully and put me at ease. He walks you to the office which is in a gated building. If there is something that I was sure after talking to Dr. Nader for 15 minutes, that was that I had made the right decision. Let me get one thing straight about Dr. Nader , he is the absolutely most professional person I've met in a long time. Everything about him was amazing We talked about genes, hair loss in my family, supplements and medicines, the need to alternate shampoos weekly.... He answered every question I had and walked me through the entire process. He checked my hair and said that My hair was strong and I had short hair growing around my crown and he believed that I could just get hair by taking the right supplants and stimulating my hair the right way. He even hand wrote a list for me. After telling him about my expectations he said that I would have to focus on the front face and hairline and leave the crown for later as he truly believed it was just easy to get my hair around It naturally. He sad he didn't want to do more grafts than the ones that I would need. I have so much respect for him and you can tell from the get go that he loves his job. He said he loves focusing on one head at the time and he only leaves you alone for much. He is with you the rest of the time. After the initial conversation we started the procedure by changing clothes and getting my head shaved. I got a shot for inflammation. Right after I laid down and they started the collection from the donor area. I didn't;t feel a thing and I even took a little nap. When he was finished he gave me his glasses to look at my hairs and he said he was surprised because I had a lot of follicles with several hairs (up to 4). Then we stopped for lunch. After lunch we went to the implantation and this part was even more relaxing. When making the incision there is a sound, and it was the most relaxing part. You have a remote to browse through Netflix and watch whatever you want but I was more relaxed than anything else. After the procedure we went into his office, he gave me the post-instructions on how to care for my scalp and gave me the actual medications (antibiotics, pain and inflammation). HE told me that my extractions were high quality and gave me a report for the total amount of hairs. He actually got 2555 but only charged me for 2500. 225 grafts had 1 hair. 1246 grafts had 2 hairs. 998 grafts had 3 hairs and 86 of them had 4 hairs so I'm hoping to see all that grow very soon. He even gave me his cell phone number to send him daily updates which I have been doing and he's been extremely responsive. Santos wasn't available to is nephew took me back to McAllen. We went through another bridge to avoid lines but this area made me feel very uncomfortable so I would highly recommend you to request to come back via the international bridge that you came from even if that means having to wait a few more minutes in line. I took the bandages off on day two. First night was hard to sleep due to the position. CAUTION! I did use an aloe vera gel on day 2 on my donor area and I cried for an hour on how bad it hurt so I didn't even think of putting it anywhere else. It got red, painful and ugly. Today (day 3) I bought the actual aloe vera plant and extracted the inside and that didn't hurt at all. I'm extremely grateful. I will be sharing a few pics as I have time to upload them. Please feel free to ask any questions and I will be happy to answer. -
Hi everyone! Im currently doing my research in prep for my first HT to hopefully fix a frontal receding hairline! At the moment I’m looking at Dr. Raghu Reddy, has anyone had any experience with this surgeon OR could you recommend anyone else? Many thanks! -
Hello , I am in my day 1 post my hair transplantaion . But since J+0 I did not stop dabing my hair gently with my finger . And now all my graft look so dark . Is that normal . Did I make some graft dislodged?? please look at the photo -
Hello I was wondering if what I’m experiencing is hair loss or just a mature hairline and if if is should I start taking actions now to help fight it? I’ve added very recent photos of my hairline along with the best ones from 2015 and 2016 after that it’s pretty hard to get a good look at my hairline. The only person in my family to ever experience hair loss was my mother’s father which I know is a biggie so for about a year now I’ve been starting to pay attention. I’m 24 now and I’ve also added the very first photos I took when starting this. They’re all on order of year so the last ones are most recent. Thank you to anyone who took the time to answer. -

Hello, This is Hazem from Jordan and I am posting here to share my personal experience with a Hair Transplant surgery I did on 22nd Jan, 2020 done by Dr. Resul Yaman at Yaman Syrgery Centre in Istanbul. At the time I am posting this thread, it is day 10 post-op and I want to over some points really quick that may be useful to other members over here: - From my experience, I can say that the surgery was way more painful than what I have heard and expected. Not sure if that is normal or just my surgery did not go very well. It worth mentioning here that Dr. Resul was so kind and kept on checking by himself at all stages. - Total grafts transplanted claimed to be 4680 grafts (Single 722/ Double 2905/ Multi 1053), while I feel that number is overstated even though the surgery took 9 hours non-stop. - I will keep sharing photo updates for you to check the progress and also to hear back from you of what do you think. Here are some photos before and right after the operation. -
I’m 24 years old, and my hair has been thinning and receding for a few years, but I just got a buzz cut (first time since high school) and it really makes the hair loss show. My hair appeared quite thick when it was long so this was a bit of a shock. Just curious, which level of the Norwood scale do I appear to be at? I’m thinking between 2 and 3 but just looking for other thoughts. Thanks
