fbacker Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 (edited) It's been a year since I had my hair transplant in Istanbul with Dr Ilker. I was given the option of a straight-forward FUE procedure, but the surgeon recommended combining an FUT (strip) and FUE procedure in one day. It took about 10 hours in total, but the result was almost 5000 grafts! Dr Ilker Apaydın transplanted from the front back into the crown, but didn't cover all of it. The front is looking great, but the back still needs time to thicken up. Crown hairs apparently grow slower due to reduced blood-flow there. Overall very pleased I went through this (even though it's been a long year!) My experience at New Age has been great, with much more personal attention paid to each patient than many other Turkish clinics I visited.

Regular Member WAGuy98056 Posted May 28, 2017 Regular Member Share Posted May 28, 2017 For 5000 grafts, I would have expected a way better result. But if you're happy, no judgment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Spidey Posted May 28, 2017 Senior Member Share Posted May 28, 2017 I agree with WA. Any reputable Dr would have been able to harvest 5000 with just fut or just fue. Don't know why you had to to a combination unless you had scalp laxity issues. For 5000 o would have expected better. But your satisfaction is what is most important. My 1036 graft FUE with Dr HASSON. https://hassonandwong.com/timeline/fue-hair-transplant-timeline/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
