My face was still really swollen at that point, I think that will be really hard to disguise it. Could you not take any more time off?

Regular Member ediee02 Posted February 17, 2017 Regular Member Share Posted February 17, 2017 Yes I could take an additional week off so I think that's something I can consider. I was hoping to disguise it as I only see my coworkers for the first hour and then I'm out in the field by myself the rest of the day. 4000 Grafts with Asmed http://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/eve/186536-4500-grafts-dr-koray-asmed.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gobobo Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 Hi all, I joined just to comment on this thread - outstanding work, DEB! I'm thinking of seeing Dr. Erdogan this summer, and your detailed description of the procedure and post-op experiences has been very enlightening. Keep it up!

Senior Member miko Posted February 19, 2017 Senior Member Share Posted February 19, 2017 Hello, I also had HT in Asmed one month ago. I want to ask you, if you have some experience with wellness, especially with sauna after HT, because in Asmed instructions is written, that sauna is possible after one month, but I am afraid that high temperature in sauna can damage my grafts. Thank you for your answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for your answer. I don't know I'm afraid about a sauna. I asked when I could have a sun bed as I look so pale at the moment and was told to wait till 6 months. I can't imagine temperature would effect the grafts as I sweat so much when working out at the gym but always best to ask Asmed directly.

You can't go far wrong with Dr Erdogan in my opinion. I'm in contact with a number of patients and I've seen nothing but brilliant results.

Senior Member BlessUp Posted February 20, 2017 Senior Member Share Posted February 20, 2017 Hi, how long is the grade 1.5? grade 1 is about 3mm right? I am also interested in having a FUE with Dr. Erdogan and I would like to wear my hair pretty short at back and sides. Also, how long is Dr Erdogan's waiting list? I emailed him 2 days ago but still have not received any reply. Thank you very much. I filled out the form last week no response like you. I then emailed both emails they have asking if they received my form and nothing. I tried to call the number and also nothing beeps like it busy or something.

Senior Member DEB1982 Posted February 22, 2017 Author Senior Member Share Posted February 22, 2017 10 Weeks Post Op Had some serious tingling / itchy head thing going on the past week and I can see a lot of new dark dots in the recipient area so am hoping things are starting to move now. It's a slow process though, I keep waking up expecting to look like marouane fellaini (belgian footballer) so maybe I need to lower my expectations slightly. I have no redness or pain. It is hard not to have an itch now and then. It is business as normal though. Pictures below include: wet, dry, recipient area and donor area.

Haha, I just googled Marouane Fellaini .. may be a few more months before you get to that stage. I think the itch/tingle/black dots all point favourably towards some hairs about to pop through. I think you'll really start to see some real growth in the next few weeks. For me, once it started, it really did seem to change quite fast. Bring on the hair gains!

For me, once it started, it really did seem to change quite fast. Bring on the hair gains! It's still very itchy but there doesn't seem to be a huge amount of new growth. There is some but nothing that's making a big visual difference. I am hoping your right and the next few weeks it really starts to kick in as I am beginning to feel a little apprehensive and impatient now. I'm only at just under 11 weeks though so perhaps am expecting too much at this point. Great update. Looking like you're gonna grow that fro.. I hope so mate! The waiting is tough though. I know people say to forget about it but each day I'm looking to see what new growth I've had and it's painfully slow.

Senior Member DEB1982 Posted March 1, 2017 Author Senior Member Share Posted March 1, 2017 11 Weeks Post Op No big changes again. It is definitely a case of slow and steady. I think because I'm looking every day for new hairs popping through I'm not noticing them. I'm definitely getting some growth and I guess at 11 weeks it is still so early so I should be happy but I am definitely feeling more impatient now than ever. The doubts that it will never grow do creep in your head. My crown has definitely improved but I don't think this is new growth. I think this is just because I switched back to propecia and am using the lasercomb again which bodes well. I am still experiencing itching and tingling all over my head and Asmed tell me this is a really good sign. Different pictures in different lighting and conditions again. Will update again next week as usual.

Senior Member DEB1982 Posted March 3, 2017 Author Senior Member Share Posted March 3, 2017 Hey DEB, just curious, did you wash your hair fairly firmly through the whole process? If not what day did you start washing firmly? Yeah I washed firmly from day 1. I made sure the staff at Asmed showed me how firm I could be. I was surprised that you could be much firmer than I thought. I was clear of all scabs by day 9. I've notice a load more hairs popping through this morning. Given me a bit of a boost!!

It's definitely worth taking weekly pics (even if you don't post them) as I know I looked at my hair daily and wondered if there was much difference and it wasn't until I looked back a week or two and realised it really was changing.

Senior Member DEB1982 Posted March 8, 2017 Author Senior Member Share Posted March 8, 2017 12 Weeks Post Op Lots of new hairs popping through but not thick / long enough to make a cosmetic difference. It is a slow process when you are checking every day. My head is still super itchy and I have lots of spots coming and going so I'm certain things are progressing in the right direction. I spoke with Asmed and they said the fact that I have new hairs coming through before 3 months is a very positive sign. They also said the next 3 months now should be where I experience most of the growth. We shall see. As for my appearance now I have started to wander out without a hat as I think I actually look okay now head on. Can't believe it's been 3 months next week since the procedure. It has actually gone by very quickly.

Senior Member DEB1982 Posted March 10, 2017 Author Senior Member Share Posted March 10, 2017 So I have been worrying a little of late that I wasn't growing as quickly as some others have but I think the issue is my constant daily checking. I looked back at different weeks from week 6 (when my shed stabilised) to week 12 (where I'm at now) and the difference is crazy. You can even see the difference in the new hair coming in at the frontal area. I've posted photos below as may be useful to others.
