Regular Member hjb1990 Posted May 25, 2017 Regular Member Share Posted May 25, 2017 Hi, I had FUE with Dr. Yaman back in Feb 2017. 3550 Grafts 710 Single 1950 Double 890 Multiple Overall I was pleased with the procedure. Everything was explained well, nice hotel at the Divan Suites. Fikret was a good contact to have. The procedure was very long, the anasthesia injections hurt like hell! Dr. Yaman performed incisions, techs did 80% of extractions and implants, Dr. did 20%. I feel as though they slightly over harvested my left hand side donor, as took much longer to recover, and also they worked on it a lot longer than the centre and right hand side. ** Please note I shaved my head down to grade 1 between 2 weeks post op and 2 months post op so the 3 month pics actually only show 1 month overall hair growth! Pic's below, would welcome any feedback thus far. HB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member hjb1990 Posted May 25, 2017 Author Regular Member Share Posted May 25, 2017 Some more pics of how it looks at 3 months. Ugly duckling stage was long! Nothing happened until 2.5 months when I saw lots of new hairs sprouting, some light in colour, some dark. Even now there are a lot of tiny hairs just poking through. Pics not the best as only on iPhone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill - Seemiller Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 hjb1990, I'd say if you're only 3 months that your hair is looking fantastic. I also wouldn't say that the ugly duckling stage was long because most people are still going through it at 3 months all the way into 5 and almost 6 months at time. Having such a nice look at only 3 months, I expect you'll be very happy a few months from now when everything is really growing, sprouting and thickening. Please keep us posted.

Regular Member WAGuy98056 Posted May 25, 2017 Regular Member Share Posted May 25, 2017 It looks great! That's one the fastest growth rate I've seen in patient posted results. Glad you had a great experience with Dr. Yaman. Personally I would have elected to fill in my temples a bit more but that's just me. Your hairline fits you pretty well. I'm looking into getting my hair transplant with him. How you describe the followup and after care that his clinic extended to you? I've read some complaints that it wasn't easy to communicate with him following the surgery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member hjb1990 Posted May 25, 2017 Author Regular Member Share Posted May 25, 2017 (edited) Thanks for the feedback. I'm really pleaseed but still hoping for more thickness in months to come. To be honest I haven't really spoken to the clinic since. They haven't contacted me and I had no need to contact them but Fikret said I could always email him or message him on WatsApp. I was advised to take Fin but me and my girlfriend want to try for a baby this year so I decided against it. I've been using Minoxidil Foam twice a day. Will post come more pics at months 5 to 6. Edited May 27, 2017 by hjb1990 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, in the pics I have dermatch applied, but only a small amount. I prefer it as stays on much better than the fibres. I have tried everything from GLH, Mane, Toppik, Dermatch etc... I will try and get some better pictures tonight after showering with no product, but happy so far, just hope thickness improves over next 6 months and maybe I won't need any product.

Regular Member hjb1990 Posted August 7, 2017 Author Regular Member Share Posted August 7, 2017 Exactly 6 months post op now. Very impressed with the growth rate however still having to use product. Please see pictures below which show my hair with no product in. I guess what I'm hoping to hear is that I am still fairly early and it will thicken up? My scalp is still very obvious and shows through the hair, when will this start to blend / thicken in? Also my hair is quite frizzy, curly and dry. I've tried various shampoos but welcome and tips to make it smoother, softer and straighter? Thanks in advance for any comments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member WAGuy98056 Posted August 7, 2017 Regular Member Share Posted August 7, 2017 What a tremendous result!! Also in my opinion, the scalp isn't that obvious. Few people will be able to look directly down onto your scalp like the camera angle for your photo. Seeing that you're still at 6 months, you can still be very optimistic that your hair will thicken a lot more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member DreadPirateRoberts Posted August 16, 2017 Regular Member Share Posted August 16, 2017 Hi hjb1990.. I've just signed up, been reading posts on here for a while and have booked in with Dr Yaman later this year myself. Will start a thread to track my journey when the time comes to help others, as it's been a massive help for me. Just wanted to say how impressive your results are looking from what I can see and have given me a lot of hope for my surgery as we look similar-ish in terms of hair loss etc. I'll send you a private message and if you have the time would really appreciate any feedback / tips you can give me for my trip to see Dr Yaman. Nice one mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member hjb1990 Posted September 11, 2017 Author Regular Member Share Posted September 11, 2017 Been 7 months now and still going strong. Cannot fault the results so far, just been on holiday for a week and used a minimal amount of Toppik on a few occasions but generally I felt totally confident going out without anything. Went to a water park and in the pool / sea and even when wet it wasn't that bad, although still a bit thin. It's changed my life for the better and made me so much more confident. Just hope it keeps growing - and stays!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
