Regular Member newboyabc Posted October 30, 2015 Regular Member Share Posted October 30, 2015 (edited) 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 3770 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.

Regular Member madmaxwell Posted October 30, 2015 Regular Member Share Posted October 30, 2015 Looking good. Can i ask why you chose Demirsory over other Turkish doctors. I am thinking of going to Turkey also but still deciding on which doc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member newboyabc Posted October 30, 2015 Author Regular Member Share Posted October 30, 2015 Largely the cost. It was a euro a graft, and I had seen some good results from him on various forums so I took the plunge. I think he charges 1.25 euros a graft now. We originally had agreed 3300 grafts but I ended up having 3770 grafts, and he didn't charge me for the 400 graft difference. He's a nice doctor and the results speak for themselves. The experience was really easy too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member TR3B Posted October 30, 2015 Regular Member Share Posted October 30, 2015 That's a great HT my hair is pretty much like yours in the before picture. Dr Civas will be doing mines and I'll be over the moon if my result comes out like yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member newboyabc Posted October 30, 2015 Author Regular Member Share Posted October 30, 2015 Thanks. Hope yours goes well. You wouldn't believe the difference it makes to your confidence and life in general. Mine looks a bit messy as I haven't cut it for a few weeks but feels so good getting scissor cuts again! Hope it goes well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member laughnlearn Posted October 30, 2015 Regular Member Share Posted October 30, 2015 Looks great newboyabc. Are there any hotels near the doctor's clinic that you would recommend? tx. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Mickey85 Posted October 31, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted October 31, 2015 Demirsoy does great work. Very ethical in his hairlines, density placement, future proofing etc. The only 2 threads you will ever need: Revamped Advantages/Disadvantages of FUE. Myths dispelled. Educate yourself Everything FUE. Manual, motorized, ARTAS, NeoGraft, physician details and more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member feldeghast Posted October 31, 2015 Regular Member Share Posted October 31, 2015 Great result well done, it looks like a different person. I had mine done with Dr Demirsoy 5 months ago and am well pleased so far. Its made a big difference to many aspects of my life. Great surgical team - @ laoughnlearn they can arrange a hotel right beside the clinic. very well priced surgery for this quality Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member wibbles180 Posted October 31, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted October 31, 2015 Hi , was this a motorised extraction or a manual extraction ? Am I correct in thinking that Dr dermisroy offers both extraction techniques ? Did the Dr explain about future loss and how many grafts you have left in the bank ? I was all set to book with Dr erdogan but I am starting to re consider , I know cost shouldn't affect your decision too much but Dr dermisroy is half the price and performs more of the work ? There just doesnt seem to be as many results available to view ...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member newboyabc Posted October 31, 2015 Author Regular Member Share Posted October 31, 2015 Yes he was motorised extraction and left enough for me to have two more transplants from my donor area should I need it. I really recommend dr demirsoy. He has a lot of pictures available in his clinic but not many online although there are some in German forums.

Regular Member newboyabc Posted October 31, 2015 Author Regular Member Share Posted October 31, 2015 He performed a motorised extraction and left enough hair in donor for two more transplants should I need them. You cannot tell at all in my donor area that I have had any grafts removed. Hoping I don't need another one although thinking of going back to have temples done. Demirsoy is very good at placing the hair in an aesthetic way so that the growth looks natural. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
