Regular Member perth87 Posted October 25, 2014 Regular Member Share Posted October 25, 2014 Hey just taught I would start a thread on my HT, I am booked in to get it done with Dr. Doganay this Friday. I am excited and nervous at the same time. Only thing I am dreading is the flight from Perth to Antalya. He said I would need 1500 grafts, I just want to fill in the temples and lower my hairline. I was hoping some of yee could share your experiences with me to make it a bit easier, all advice is greatly appreciated. Here's my post op pics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member MusoInOz Posted November 4, 2014 Senior Member Share Posted November 4, 2014 Hey mate! Good work making the trip over to Turkey! Looks like you will be in for an impressive result for sure! Dr Doganay has posted some amazing results! To subside the itch, get an empty spray bottle, hit up a local chemist and purchase some saline fluid, it is pretty cheap mate. Spray about 30cm (on mist setting) from your recipient zone. This was a life save for me the entire two weeks post op. Make sure you speak to the clinic also. Just as an FYI. Cheers, Mike.

Ye hopefully now it will turn out well especially after going that far.how did you find protecting it from the sun in Australia? I am worried about that especially coming into summer.

Senior Member MusoInOz Posted November 4, 2014 Senior Member Share Posted November 4, 2014 No worries legend! Hope it works out, I kept my head under a hat for around two months. Try to keep it covered as much as possible especially with our sunlight here. You'll be right mate! Mike.
