Navsy Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 Congrats on the work done. I am also considering getting FUE done in Turkey by using either Dr K Erdogan or Dr. Hakan Doganay in January 2014 but am a bit nervous. I have a couple of questions if anyone can help out: Concerns: When I grow my hair I usually cut it short around the sides and leave the top longer, will the scares show from the donor area? (if that is the case can I take donor hair from other parts of my body like chest, arms or legs?) Do the donor hairs from other parts of the body grow differently from those of the hair? (I think I saw someone use hair from their facial hair as a donor area?) I have curly/wavy hair and am attaching before and after pictures: (The good old days of )how it used to be! and (the not so good days) now: Is it unrealistic for me to try and regain the front of my hair to the same density it used to be? (also some of the front of my hair only grows to a certain height and then stops). Thanks in advance to anyone who can contribute to any suggestions and comments.

Senior Member Britanium Posted October 10, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted October 10, 2013 Will be a very good choice using any of the surgeons you mentioned. Going with FUE you wont have any scars :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Britanium Posted October 10, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted October 10, 2013 50% of your original density would be the norm thats aimed for! Which does give a very good illusion of a full head of hair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Britanium Posted October 10, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted October 10, 2013 Also your right in that you can take donor hair from all the areas you have mentioned. In fact im thinking of going for FUE with my beard hair next ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Navsy Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 So do you think it is possible for me to have my hair look like it used to? Also I have seen some pics where they used a larger extracting tool which left hole patches in the persons head. How can I avoid this and what questions should I ask the surgeon to make sure it doesn't happen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Britanium Posted October 10, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted October 10, 2013 You seem to have good donor hair so it will certainly give the impression like before. Both the surgeons you mentioned are very skilled at recreating hairlines. The tools they use you would not notice anything. Look at some of there results on this website and also there own. I would ask them anything that comes to mind. Have you sent them your pics yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Britanium Posted October 10, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted October 10, 2013 Your welcome to send me a PM if you like. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Navsy Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 Yes I have. I sent them my pics today so am hoping for a response in the next couple of days. I have a break in January so am hoping to go to Turkey for nine days. How much time does one need to get rid of the scabs from the procedure? Also will a week be enough time for me to have had the procedure done, have scabs clear and be safe to travel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Britanium Posted October 10, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted October 10, 2013 Well i travelled back from Turkey the day after my procedure. So a week will be fine! Scabs vary from person to person. Mine for example was all off in about 6/7 days! P.S Istanbul is a great place to visit ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member imnothere Posted October 14, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted October 14, 2013 Thanks for the update. How do you find day to day life with hair like this? Have you thought of buzzing it down? Im very similar to how you were, looking to get a Turkish HT early next year, but a bit anxious about the logitstics of day to day life in the following months.

Regular Member Einfachlacm Posted October 14, 2013 Author Regular Member Share Posted October 14, 2013 Actually, this two months have been really difficult for me (going to work...) I've been using Toppik the last weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member newbie33 Posted October 14, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted October 14, 2013 Hang on in there. I'm sure the results will come through. How are you finding the Toppik? Are you getting away with it? Does it cover the redness? I'm considering a HT but dread most the ugly duckling stage, especially the shedding and trying to cover up having had a procedure.
