Regular Member adigo91 Posted January 29, 2017 Author Regular Member Share Posted January 29, 2017 Hello All, These are the results after 14 weeks. I think that the bald areas have not yet been filled. But I feel very small hair growing at the crown area. Most people recommend to wait for 5 months to see 70% growth in the hair. So it will still take about two more months for the scalp to be filled. So far, there has been a good amount of hair in the front area, and it is getting thicker as days go by. Another important thing I wanted to explain is about traveling. So, these days they do not allow liquids more than 200 ml, even if its shampoo. I travel a lot across Europe since there are so many different countries to see. Therefore, I usually just take my travel bag to save costs from high air prices. Firstly, if you are planning to travel, make sure you plan way ahead of your travel regarding your hair supplements, shampoo, and whatsoever. In my case, I am gonna be traveling for 15 days, so I need to have at least about 100 ml of shampoo. Since my shampoo bottle is 300 ml, I cant travel with it. Now the trick I use is to take a bottle or container that does not have the volume written. Also I bought this supplements box that is really cute. You can buy it from myprotein.com and it is just 5 $. I am putting all the images of the bottle, supplements box and the shampoo bottle as well. Also, this shampoo is really awesome. Have a nice day ahead!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member Michael8 Posted February 19, 2017 Regular Member Share Posted February 19, 2017 Hi, Thank you so much for sharing your procedure with us. Dr. Cinik is one of the doctors I am considering. Can you please tell us about the hair used from your chest and beard? Why was that the decision to use those donor areas? How was the healing? Pain? I really like your hat. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member adigo91 Posted March 1, 2017 Author Regular Member Share Posted March 1, 2017 Hello Everyone, Its nice to be back here again. Recently, I was traveling light across Europe so I was not able to upload the pictures and the progress of my Hair transplant. Although, I took the pictures and I can further describe my Hair Transplant in depth. These are the pictures after 16 weeks and the hair density and length as increased a lot during this period. I shall soon have my first hair cut in almost 4 months and I am super excited for that. It would also help me define the new look I am thinking of having. I took a close up for the first time just to see the density of the hair growth. These pictures might make me look older so I just am waiting to compare it after the hair cut. More updates following this post... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member adigo91 Posted March 2, 2017 Author Regular Member Share Posted March 2, 2017 Hello Everyone, These are the pictures from the 19 weeks update. I had my first hair cut recently and started defining a hair style that I used to have previously. I did some research on how the hair appears is different lighting in the front view. As you could observe, the one in which there is less lighting, the hair seems to be dense enough, whereas in proper lighting, there are a lot of areas that are still not covered. Another observation is that from the front view it does not seem I am bald anymore are the hair has become thick and the grafts have sprouted very neatly. The middle area is still quite bald, and a few grafts have sprouted in the crown area. Overall, I do see results, but I want the gaps to be filled up soon so that I can put my hand across my hair and not worry. Lastly, my hair is a bit curly once is grows a certain length, so I dont know if I would be able to see the length really increase. But, I hope for the best. Positivity always helps to keep you going... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really like your hat. Cheers Hi Michael, Im glad to receive your message. Yes, Dr. Cinik is surely one of the best in this profession. For the hair from the chest and beard, I had 500 grafts from the beard and 800 from the chest. I had 2500 from the back of my head, and since the rest were not good enough for transplantation, Dr. Cinik decided to take the chest and beard as well. There was pain for just the first two weeks and I could not shave during that time. Dr. Cinik provided me with a cream- Contratubex for fast healing for the first two weeks. I used the cream up to a month though, just to take extra precaution. Thanks for the compliments on the hat!! CHeers!! Aditya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member adigo91 Posted March 19, 2017 Author Regular Member Share Posted March 19, 2017 Hey Guys!! Hope everyone is staying positive. I am delayed once again due to my recent shift of residence. But I was able to still take the pictures through the time. My hair follicles have been sprouting rapidly and slowly the areas are getting better as the days go by. Still needs a lot to happen and I hope it happens soon enough. Recently I had my 2nd Prp session after the Hair transplant. This was in Czech Republic and it was really expensive. I got it done because I was the only place where I could get it done easily in Europe, but for the next one I will surely go back to Turkey. I hope to see some more progress to share in the coming weeks. Regards Aditya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alekasenov Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 Thank you Natdylan01 to make it clear. I am a bit afraid to having this intervention one of my colleages just came back and he had many bleeding problems and aslo a small scar in the donor area due the surgery. Are those technicians qualified to do this job? How long it takes all the processure? And do you have any tip about Dr Altar? Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member adigo91 Posted April 2, 2017 Author Regular Member Share Posted April 2, 2017 Hello once again, Here are the results from my 22 weeks Update. I think we you look from the front, it seems like I the hair is completely thick and no bald spots anymore, but still the middle portion is lacking the density. I am just hoping that it grows soon enough to see the difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member adigo91 Posted April 28, 2017 Author Regular Member Share Posted April 28, 2017 Hello again, Sorry to be late with the updates.. Here are the pictures after 24 weeks. As you see, the middle areas need lot of patience and it is difficult to make peace with it after going through a hair transplant. The only way to actually not worry about it is to forget about everything. In turn this helps to reduce stressing over the issue. Hope to see more progress month by month. Kudos!!

Regular Member adigo91 Posted April 28, 2017 Author Regular Member Share Posted April 28, 2017 This is the 26 weeks Update. I recently noticed that I had some red blisters in the crown area. It is the first time I have experienced it since the hair transplant. I am not sure whether it is a good thing or a not, but it sure does pain a lot. But apart from that, it seems to be going well. Middle areas are still really scanty!! Hope that they heal soon enough!! Cheers! Aditya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member chevenowner1 Posted April 28, 2017 Senior Member Share Posted April 28, 2017 did you take any medication and supplements what was your regimen post HT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member adigo91 Posted April 28, 2017 Author Regular Member Share Posted April 28, 2017 Yes, I did take some supplements and medications. If you look at my intial posts you would find all the detailed information. But just in short I could give a few key points- 1. I used a multivitamin called hairpower 1 tablet everyday, and a biotin supplement by the same company 1 tablet every two days. Then, 1/4th of Finasteride (Proscar) everyday. 2. Used the hair shampoo, the same company- Hairpower everyday during the shower. 3. I use whey protein extensively along with fermented Glutamine from the beginning, and only after the first month I started training with weights again. Also, I am a vegetarian, so I dont eat meat at all. But I try to keep my protein intake to about 1g per pound of lean body weight. That includes a variety of dairy products like greek yogurt, cottage cheese, eggs and sometimes soya. Include lots of veggies as well to give a good balance... Hope that gives you some insight...

Regular Member Rinaldi363 Posted May 2, 2017 Regular Member Share Posted May 2, 2017 Hey hope all is going well. Do you feel you can see a visual difference from the pictures in your first post before the operation and the pictures in your last post 26 weeks later? That's almost 7 months and the hairline/density looks the same to me. I have been really considering Dr. Clinik but I'm getting skeptical now.

Regular Member adigo91 Posted May 16, 2017 Author Regular Member Share Posted May 16, 2017 Hi Rinaldi, I agree with your point to some extent because I dont see a lot of density in the middle and crown areas as I would have liked. But the frontal portion has completely transformed. Maybe in the initial post they seem to be a lot of hair, but I am gonna add a picture for you to compare in the very next post.. Do let me know your inputs after that. Also I can only say for sure after the 1 year is over and compare the back of the head because I am still having new shoots come up everyday. Thanks!!

Regular Member adigo91 Posted May 16, 2017 Author Regular Member Share Posted May 16, 2017 Hello again, Today I would like to make a comparison with the pictures just before the hair transplant and till today when it is 30 weeks, and the difference is quite visible in the frontal portion. All these weeks I was a bit stressed as to not see any results, but when I saw this, it really made my day. Before the transplant, I looked 5 years older than I do after the transplant. Now, my hair is quite in a good condition but long as well, but I shall soon have my third haircut as the summer is coming. I still want the density in the middle areas to come up so the next two months are gonna be the crucial decider to see how much can I get from the transplant. All in all, it has been a long journey so far, and I dont think I am dissapointed over all. Regards Aditya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member optimist800 Posted May 29, 2017 Regular Member Share Posted May 29, 2017 Hi Aditya, have you put a review on realself by any chance? I'm considering a HT from Dr Cinik. From what I've read, your progress is entirely consistent with what I would expect. The crown seems to take longer with almost everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member adigo91 Posted June 11, 2017 Author Regular Member Share Posted June 11, 2017 Hello, yes I have a review on realself.com as well. https://www.realself.com/user/2993258 Yes, I have seen constant growth in all areas of the hair pop up. still there are a bit of gaps here and there, but much better than before.

Regular Member adigo91 Posted June 11, 2017 Author Regular Member Share Posted June 11, 2017 Hello everyone, It has been a long time once again since I shared some progress pictures. This update combines both my 32 and 34 weeks Update. It also shows the journey I have covered regarding my transplant from the beginning. Also, I have included pictures from the chest and beard regions since so many of you have asked me about it repeatedly. I am now in a shape to share the pictures so thats what I was waiting for. I see the density increase day in and day out. I dont really think about my transplant anymore. It keeps me calm and that feels good. Has been the best 8 months of my life I would say. Everyone has some lows and highs, its important to keep moving forward. Dont get stuck about your failures, just keep going ahead!! Cheers!!
