Regular Member Ranonym Posted August 25, 2013 Regular Member Share Posted August 25, 2013 Hi Guys First of all, let me tell you my story. Im 28 and have lost hair the last 10-11 years and the past 2-3 years I've been saving up for a hairtransplant. Ive been using you so much and thanks for the that! You're so good, mostly all of you. In October im going to Wroclaw in Poland to get my hair transplant, which I'm looking so much forward to. Ive been talking with Dr. Marwan Saifi a couple of times and had a long email correspondence. My concerns about choosing the surgeron for my transplant was price, location and reviews. Some of you from in here have had a surgery with him with great results, it only takes around 2 hours with plane and kinda affordable. Im going to get 2000-2200 grafts FUT surgery. Here's my questions : When can I expect to see growth in the transplanted area? Im studying, so when I'll get back from surgery and have to get the stitches out, is it possible to do it by myself? Im kinda living at the university so all of my friends are like 2-300 km from me. Is it possible to get another transplant in earlier years?

Senior Member irishsailor Posted August 25, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted August 25, 2013 Hi there, I've seen a couple of good results come from your chosen doctor. The guys on the forum who posted results had good things to say about him. There are a few threads on the forums about timescales, but I think in most cases at approx the 3 month stage you will be back at the start point again, at 4 months, and 5 you should start to see some growth. Between months 6 to 8 you will start to get a good idea of how things will turn out and from months 10 to 18 months you should see the new hair mature. It's a long road with lots of twists and turns along the way Hair Transplant Dr Feller Oct 2011 Hair Transplant Dr Lorenzo June 2014 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Buzz2 Posted August 26, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted August 26, 2013 (edited) Hi Ranonym I have had surgery twice with Marwan Saifi. You will be In good hands and I'm sure you will have great results. You should expect things to start around month 4, but everyone is different. Personally I didnt notice any real change until about month 7. Dr Saifi will give instructions on how to remove the stitches, but I woul recommend you contact the local doctors surgery and make an appointment with the nurses. Im not sure I understand your last question, can you clarify please. If you need any other info on Dr Saifi then let me know. All the best Edited August 26, 2013 by Buzz2 add info HT No1 : Nobel clinic, Gatwick 500 grafts - Terrible result, left with bumpy skin HT No2 : Marwan Saifi 1680 grafts. Great result HT No3 - Marwan Saifi 1250 grafts. Another good result. HT No4 - Hakan Doganay 2134 grafts. Result TBA Total 5134 grafts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Ranonym Posted August 26, 2013 Author Regular Member Share Posted August 26, 2013 Thanks for the great answers, both of you lads! Well, I kinda missed that one. I meant later years :-) My hair on top is getting very thin, i think I'm a NW 3, probably vertex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member MadMod Posted December 15, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted December 15, 2013 Hi Ranonym, how is it going- have you had your procedure with Dr Saifi? I just returned from my 2nd round with him, he is a great surgeon and I'm really pleased with my experiences... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Ranonym Posted December 16, 2013 Author Regular Member Share Posted December 16, 2013 Hi MadMod! It all went great. Take a look at my album in here :-) How many grafts did you get and do you have any pictures? I got around 2075 grafts, everything is going better than expected and some of the grafts haven't shed after 10 weeks, so I think they won't. Right now I'm just waiting for the result and saving up for the next HT. We spoke and calculated that 2 x (est) 2000 grafts more is enough for my desired density and hairline :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enum Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Hi Ranonym. Did you make you HT with Dr Saifi in Aug (2013)? He did mine in September. He made a great impression but there is no new hair yet (witch is normal at this stage as I understands it). How about you, any results yet?

Regular Member Ranonym Posted January 20, 2014 Author Regular Member Share Posted January 20, 2014 The past 2-3 weeks I've really noticed a significant growth, especially in the hairline and in-between. I got my procedure in October, som I'm just 3 months post op and it's already astonishing. I cant wait untill summer to see the results. Please see the attached picture and my album in here to compare to post op. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enum Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Wow, looking good. I'm really looking forward to my next couple of weeks/months. So the result must have come earlier for you than for me (guess its very individual) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member Buzz2 Posted February 20, 2014 Senior Member Share Posted February 20, 2014 Hi Ranonym, The pre-op work looks excellent and the early results look encouraging, I'm sure you'll have a great result. Dr Saifi is a great surgeon and really nice bloke, I'm really surprised he's not a little more popular on here. All the best HT No1 : Nobel clinic, Gatwick 500 grafts - Terrible result, left with bumpy skin HT No2 : Marwan Saifi 1680 grafts. Great result HT No3 - Marwan Saifi 1250 grafts. Another good result.

Senior Member mklDK Posted December 2, 2014 Senior Member Share Posted December 2, 2014 Hi guys! I am currently considering dr. Saifi and was wondering how many of you are using the hairmax as he recommends? Especially you Buzz, since you have great experience - does it help recovery? (I guess that is why he recommends it) I must say that I am very inclined to choose him as my doc. I have not read about any dissatisfied patiens of his.

Senior Member Buzz2 Posted December 3, 2014 Senior Member Share Posted December 3, 2014 mklDK - I'm not overly convinced on the lasercomb to be honest, not in terms of growth. It may assist with recovery, I dont know. I did recover very well from my HTs with Saifi, but I did not have huge sessions. 1650 & 1250 respectively. I will say that I did have very good results and I would certainly recommend Saifi as a HT surgeon. I have also had a procedure with Hakan Doganay for 2134 grafts but was left very disappointed with the growth and resulting donor area. Good luck in whatever you choose HT No1 : Nobel clinic, Gatwick 500 grafts - Terrible result, left with bumpy skin HT No2 : Marwan Saifi 1680 grafts. Great result HT No3 - Marwan Saifi 1250 grafts. Another good result. HT No4 - Hakan Doganay 2134 grafts. Result TBA Total 5134 grafts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member mklDK Posted December 3, 2014 Senior Member Share Posted December 3, 2014 Thanks buzz. I also hope that the comb recommendation is for recovery reasons. But if it works on that part I would seriously consider it. I might be going for 2000 grafts in january. I did read about your misfortune and I am very sorry. I hope Saifi can right the wrongs of Doganay. All the best and thanks for answering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enum Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 Here is my HT at Dr. Saifi: I did it 3 years ago and last week I went to him again to do the temples and improve the crown a bit (totaly 1800 grafts). Looking forward to next spring to see the result Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
