DR Erkan Demirsoy - 12 months on

newboyabc · October 30, 2015

Hi all

I haven't posted before because I wanted to see how I got on for the first year after my transplant. To summarise, I'm 34, I had a FUE transplant in Istanbul with Dr Erkan Demirosy last September 2014 after years of low confidence, anxiety, etc. all caused by pretty significant male pattern baldness. Its been 12 month snow since the surgery and I'm more than thrilled with the results and what Dr Erkan Demirosy has achieved. Its easily one of the best decisions I've ever made. I had 3370 grafts transplants in one session, with mostly 2's and 3's. The crown is still a bit thin but has had alot of growth and can expect to continue to thicken up in that area for up to 18 months. I'm so pleased, I'm thinking of going back to get my temples down. I only had my crown and mid scalp done this time. I've not used propecia at all but have used minoxidil - once a day for the first six months after the transplant and then every other day after six months.

My advice to anyone procrastinating about whether to get it done (as I was) would be do it and don't look back. You wont regret it, people are shocked when they see me and say how young I'm looking , and it has made such a difference to my confidence and quality of life. I've posted a pre op pic and two taken last week 12 months later. Happy to post more pictures or answer questions. The op was slightly uncomfortable and lasted 12 hours but I would go through it all again to feel how I feel now.
