Senior Member hadenough2014 Posted January 4, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted January 4, 2015 7.5 looking much better than 5.5. Still have a couple months of additional density coming, and it needs it in the front, but you are already better off than pre-op. I would like to see Erdogan and other Turkish docs vary the hairline a little more with use of micro-irregularities. This fella has nice temple peaks, so the straighter hairline works ok for him, but for others with less temple peak showing, the HT becomes more apparent.

Regular Member acegik Posted January 14, 2015 Author Regular Member Share Posted January 14, 2015 8 month update A little improvement from month 7, but still lacking in density in the hairline and front, which is more obvious in the photos under natural outdoor light.

Senior Member Yaz89 Posted February 7, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted February 7, 2015 Wow! Only at 9 months. You was worried for no reason. This will get better and better. By the 12 months it will be even more thicker. I suspect you will see the crown improve by the 18 month. Crown is always slow due to blood flow. I just cannot wait for my second round with Dr Erdogan!

I just cannot wait for my second round with Dr Erdogan! Yes it has become much better than at 5-6 months, and hopefully the crown will improve even further the next couple of months. I will probably need another pass for midscalp and crown for 2-3000 grafts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member acegik Posted February 9, 2015 Author Regular Member Share Posted February 9, 2015 Wowza ... Looking great , have you got any white dot scaring in the donor area ? Thanks No not any that I know of, but its difficult to see with my hair in the back being so long. I can take some photos of the donor when I go for the second round in a few months. My hair in the back is still so thick even after 5000 grafts, I think I could easily do another 5000 grafts without it being even close to depleted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member wibbles180 Posted February 9, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted February 9, 2015 Yea you look to have great donor hair , I'm in a similar loss to you but my hair is fine in texture , so doubt I'll have 10k grafts to work with , how many more grafts are you adding next pass ? What were doctor erdogans thoughts on your future loss ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What were doctor erdogans thoughts on your future loss ? I would love to add 4000 grafts so I am set for life , but it depends if I have enough donor hair, but probably something like 3000 grafts would be enough to give more density to midscalp and crown. The doctor said that I will probably become NW6 because of my hair loss pattern at such a young age, but with my 8-9000 grafts donor I could get around 40 grafts/cm2 allover, and that is good enough because my original density was 70 grafts/cm2, so it will be more than 50%, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your recent pictures are without any Nanogen right? Thank you, yes patience is key! Two months ago I was not happy, now Im happy, in a few months I will be thrilled (hopefully) Yes without nanogen. With a little nanogen I look like I have my teenage hair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member acegik Posted February 13, 2015 Author Regular Member Share Posted February 13, 2015 Got a haircut today to trim the sides. Just a reminder.. My hair may look thick, but it is still the "illusion of density". The way i style it makes the hair lay on eachother and cover the scalp. If I spike it straight up or part the hair in the middle it looks thin and a little seethrough. So dont be fooled by the photos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member wibbles180 Posted February 13, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted February 13, 2015 Wow .. With another 3000 this will be a top result ! Are you in meds ? Did you have consultations with any other clinics ? If so what were there thoughts ? I ask because I am torn between 2 surgeons lorenzo 2200 grafts , erdogan 4000 grafts !!! Just wondering if erdogan quoted you higher than other clinics and his reasons ? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wondering if erdogan quoted you higher than other clinics and his reasons ? Thanks Yes I have been on finasteride for 3-4 years, just recently added minox again 3 months ago. No other clinics, Dr. Erdogan first quoted me 3500 grafts from my photos through email, but when I arrived at the clinic he said I would need atleast 4500 grafts, because the photos may my hair look fuller than in real life, so I decided to do 5000 grafts which was the maximum they could do on 2 days. I have seen most of Lorenzo's results on youtube, and they look AMAZING! But again the price difference is huge and 4000 grafts will of course look two times denser than 2000 grafts . I also considered Lorenzo, but I can not afford him with the number of grafts I needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member timetoact Posted July 12, 2015 Regular Member Share Posted July 12, 2015 got the chance to check the thread only when it got bumped up. From 5.5 months to 9 months, dude went from many phases. From not so happy to very happy but concealing his happiness. And as someone mentioned above, many people here would kill for those results. And yes, even I feel the OP is living his life to the fullest and we might not see another update anymore.
