Senior Member Spanker Posted July 15, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted July 15, 2013 hi spanker . my mistake in terms of who dr wasnot much to go on mind you perhaps he might add further info http://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/eve/171341-swelling-after-hair-transplant.html Thanks. Well, he is the doctor, and his pts should follow his instructions.

Regular Member B-KW Posted July 15, 2013 Regular Member Share Posted July 15, 2013 Same exact thing happened to me. Glad i flew back home next day. I regret not using a headband while on airplane. It seemed that after 3-4 hours of flight the swelling went down from forehead to eyelids/nose much faster. Not sure if this is a coincidence or has something to do with high altitude.

Senior Member james84 Posted July 15, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted July 15, 2013 The work looks great. Dr Demisroy is on the rise like a few Turkish Docs mentioned on here. Wise choice in not being to aggressive as your hairline looks great and so will the density in 9 months time. Look forward to seeing this develop.

Senior Member dingdong12 Posted July 16, 2013 Author Senior Member Share Posted July 16, 2013 update woke up last night .(early hours of tues morning)approx. 4 days after transplant to a lot of pain in donor area. this was an intense tingling /piercing pain . I took some painkillers and this gradually subsided. its now the morning after and all seems to be ok again except for the still bad swelling. the pain was very frustrating and defo not able to sleep on it. I have read this recently quite a bit with pain developing approx. 4-5 days after. little bit strange as I would have expected pain to be immediate afterwards .

Senior Member Slickers Posted July 16, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted July 16, 2013 There's been a few FUE cases with intense pain in the donor several days post op. Hang in there man, it should settle soon. Keep in touch with your doc and just take it easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member B-KW Posted July 17, 2013 Regular Member Share Posted July 17, 2013 Hey bud, dont worry too much about the pain. 2-3 days and the needle like pain will be go away (atleast for me it did). I know.. it was kind of hard to sleep as it gets more intense when you're laying down on bed. The alove vera gel will be helpful in a few days as the pain will turn into more of an itch or tingling sensation. Also best not to touch/scratch your donor. Scratching will only make things worse and cause pimples, i learned the hard way Get well soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member dingdong12 Posted July 17, 2013 Author Senior Member Share Posted July 17, 2013 bkw .sounds like you had similar story to me . I hope this needle pain stops in few days like you .thanks for encouragement how you healing now ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member B-KW Posted July 17, 2013 Regular Member Share Posted July 17, 2013 I've healed up almost fully for a week now. Very slight numbness right above the hairline which is gradually getting better and occassional itch in donor area, thats about it. Donor looks clean but will wait till hair grows out more before checking for any shockloss/thinning which i am expecting anyway (atleast thinning). I'm on day 23 post-op today.

Regular Member shn Posted August 2, 2013 Regular Member Share Posted August 2, 2013 Hi dingdong12, great post mate, really helpful and informative. Posts like yours makes it so much more easier to choose a doc. I'm on two minds with either Dr hakan or Demirsoy due to there results and price. Can I ask does the doc do most of the work? And how many technicians does he have working with him. I find more technicians the speedier the surgery. I believe he offers manual extraction is this true? If so how come you did not choose this? Sorry for all the questions, could have PM you but if someone else is also after same answers might be better to have it open. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member shn Posted August 2, 2013 Regular Member Share Posted August 2, 2013 Also how much was the total cost of you HT including flights and accommodation etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member dingdong12 Posted August 2, 2013 Author Senior Member Share Posted August 2, 2013 im only glad to answer questions ; I opted for motorised simply as doctor feels he can achieve as good results with this method as manual . this was good enough for me . the total price for surgery worked out at 2000 euro . a bargain I reckon for 2265 grafts I booked through intermediary health travel who arranged all tranfers and accommodation for 280 euro . you could organise yourself and get cheaper but for me I wanted hassle free my flights were expensive 450.00 but this was because I was in high season and had to get connecting flight. this was coming from uk. If coming direct from London etc expect to pay a good bit cheaper the doc does all of the extractions and hole placements and the two techs did the placement .

Regular Member kokosam Posted August 2, 2013 Regular Member Share Posted August 2, 2013 everybody keeps saying that Dr. Denirsoy offers his patients to choose between Manual or Motorized punch?? Does it make a difference in price? I know his website says that manual is 2 Euros but motorized is 1 Euro. In real life does he really charges more for manual or offer both for the same price??

Regular Member kokosam Posted August 2, 2013 Regular Member Share Posted August 2, 2013 By the way good questions shn, me and many others have lots of questions regarding the doctors in Turkey due to known reasons. First the cost and second the FUE techinique they use, and also the good results we have seen from multiple forum users ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member dingdong12 Posted August 2, 2013 Author Senior Member Share Posted August 2, 2013 to be honest when doc claimed he got as good results with motorised I didn't enquire about manual . I should also point out that I will consider the ht to be a bargain if the results match my expectations ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member nathaniel Posted August 2, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted August 2, 2013 The post-op pictures in your other thread look immaculate. The hairline, graft placement and angles are all very intricate and precise. I agree with Mickey85 here - the angles look very precise and natural. I eagerly await your outcome! - Nathaniel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member shn Posted August 3, 2013 Regular Member Share Posted August 3, 2013 Cheers for the info, I guess it is a bargain compared to what docs in US are charging. I'm happy that the prices are coming down, as when I started researching hair loss solutions FUE was way above my price domain. Hopefully FUE will be made even better once Dr Wesley's Pilofocus comes into action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Khali Posted August 3, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted August 3, 2013 I'm looking at the before pics, and personally if my hair transplant gave me results like that I wouldn't go for a second procedure. Unless, the dim lighting isn't showing the high level of hair loss. Anyway, 1 Euro is an amazing price. I went to India for my first transplant. The price was 0.83 cents per graft. However, with the travel time and expenses it comes to 2 dollars per graft. Does this doctor also take hair from the body and beard ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
