Dr. Koray Erdogan

[Bahrain]

Dear members,

 

First and foremost I have to thank all the members and moderators of this website. I want to give back to this community as much as possible merely to reciprocate and be fair to my fellow brothers. I arrived in Istanbul yesterday for a live consultation with the one and only Dr. Koray Erdogan. ASMED is the cleanest clinic I have visited in my life therefore I concur with everyone who has stated that ASMED is a top notch facility.

 

I am 31 yrs old, Arab, male boldness does not run in my family but my hairloss began 3 yrs back due to a strefull and extremely difficult separation with my fianc?. Nonetheless, I moved on and am not lingering in the past. I am a norwood 2a and the Doctor suggested that this is deteriorating with the possibility of being 3a in the future.

 

Now to the good stuff. These are the observations made by the doctor after an hour of assessment and discussions:

 

1. Total donor capacity - 8550

2. Caliber of hair - 65 microns

3. Temporal density - 50-60 uf/cm2

4. Periatel density - 80 uf/cm2

5. Occipital density - 80 uf/cm2

6. Calculated density- 2,80 hair/foticiles unit

7. Hair loss area - 110 cm2

 

Operation was scheduled for February 2015 but Dr. Erdogan has articulated that it would be better if I use Finasterid Propecia 1mg for 6 months and come back for a 2nd consultation given that this may save my existing hair hence he will have a more accurate estimation for the surgery.

 

I have no clue what the aforementioned numbers mean but he conveyed that these numbers depict a positive picture for surgery.

 

I will keep this thread alive to post my progression or regression. Pictures will be sent by the clinic soon and I will post it in order for my fellow members to view.
