gdgd Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 (edited) Hi, I am new to this forum. I share results of my FUE surgery, which was done in the end of this July. Doctor: Erkan Demirsoy (via health travels) Location: Turkey Istanbul Grafts: 3,164 Method: FUE Micro Motor Price: 1 Euro/graft + 350 Euros for accommodation and transportation (from and to airport and between hotel and clinic) I am originally from Asia, and are now living in Europe. I have been suffering from hair loss in the last couple of years. Since I decided to take this kind of surgery in the beginning of this year, I did a lot of research on good doctors. There are some FUE doctors in Japan, but they charge as much as around 10 dollars per graft! What is even worse is that they do not have a good reputation on the quality of their surgery. So, I went for Turkey to get a high-quality surgery at an affordable price. I saw some good results from Dr. Erkan Demirsory in a German forum and he looks gaining a good reputation. Another thing is that the price is affordable to me. I didn't think his price is too low because Dr. Hakan Doganay used to charge the same price (now his price doubles). As mentioned by other guys, his clinic is clean and they are kind. The surgery totally took me over 8 hours, which was a little bit behind the schedule. During the extraction of grafts, the doctor explained me that roots of my hairs are deep and so he was extracting them carefully. He looks honest and reliable. I am now at 4 months after op, being really satisfied with the result. Implanted hair is regrowing although it is still thin. I share 8 photos with you. I hope this helps you to choose a good doctor. From top to bottom: #1 Before surgery with wet hair #2 Before surgery, after shaving #3 Donor area, 2 days after op (just after the first wash) #4 After opening channels during op #5 2 days after op (just after the first wash) #6 Donor area, 14 days after op (some redness is still seen) #7 Recipient area, 17 days after op #8 Recipient area, 4 months after op Edited December 1, 2013 by gdgd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gdgd Posted January 29, 2014 Author Share Posted January 29, 2014 Thank you for the messages. Here is a photo taken today at 6 months after op. Great improvement in the last two month! I don't think it's final results because I still feel like more and more hairs are starting to grow. What do you think about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member cloudy Posted January 29, 2014 Senior Member Share Posted January 29, 2014 Wow man, like you have never had a hair loss!! Really impressive result. At 4 months photo nothing much to see but this is outstanding, specially because you have dark hair and usually people with dark hair are having more visible baldness than the light-haired one. 10+!!

Regular Member hairgainer Posted January 29, 2014 Regular Member Share Posted January 29, 2014 Looks good! I think you have more growth to come..just be patient. Are you using minoxidil to speed up growth? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gdgd Posted January 30, 2014 Author Share Posted January 30, 2014 Hi, cloudy. I'm really satisfied with my results. I still see some boldness at a closer look. This may be partially because hair in the recipient area is shorter than other. I will upload another photo after I cut hair. Actually, I am not using minoxidil, although the doctor recommends it.

Senior Member cloudy Posted January 30, 2014 Senior Member Share Posted January 30, 2014 Hey, I am online too. We all hava to understand that we'll never have thick hair like it was in teenage days. Some small baldness is actually macho so keep in mind and don't be upset 'cause of that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gdgd Posted February 1, 2014 Author Share Posted February 1, 2014 Hi, cloudy. Thanks for your reply. Anyway, I am looking forward to seeing final results since I've already got an incredible improvement at 6 months. I Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
