Regular Member HairInspector Posted August 14, 2017 Regular Member Share Posted August 14, 2017 Thanks to your original post I already applied for Global Entry! I'm in the "Pending Review" phase now. I also already have my flights booked, nonstop to and from NYC. Very excited and nervous at the same time. I booked an aisle seat on my flight home so I can get up to use the restroom without bothering the person next to me every hour. I'm assuming I'll need to be regularly spraying the grafts on the way home and want to make it as hassle-free as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member HairDew Posted August 14, 2017 Author Senior Member Share Posted August 14, 2017 That's exactly what I had, an aisle seat so I could go in and out to the bathroom every couple hours. Keep checking your Global Entry application by logging in to global entry site daily. Once they say it's been "partially approved", you can select your interview date. If by any chance your closest interview date is passed your travel date, I would suggest checking if any of the closest airports around you allow walk-ins. I know in Phoenix you can just show up if you don't mind waiting in line for a couple of hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member ThickGreenLawn Posted August 14, 2017 Regular Member Share Posted August 14, 2017 Thanks very much for your update HairDew. I'm sure it will all turn out great for you. It's reassuring that Asmed has been treating you well. I'll be there in 3 weeks time so I really appreciate you keeping us informed. I've checked and I'm pretty sure I don't have any scars on my head that might cause a problem! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member HairDew Posted August 31, 2017 Author Senior Member Share Posted August 31, 2017 Necrosis scab fell off and is now healing. I'm little more than a month after my surgery.Everything else seems on schedule. Most new grafts shed, so just a waiting game. Once necrosis part heals, Dr. Erdogan will perform long hair FUE to take care of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member HairDew Posted March 29, 2018 Author Senior Member Share Posted March 29, 2018 (edited) I just wanted to update my thread and let you guys know that I'm now in the process of scheduling a touch up procedure with Dr. Erdogan. The growth has been good (minus the necrosis spot). I can cover the spot with surrounding hair no problem. Attached is a photo I just took under a harsh white light in my office. It's been 8 months after my procedure. The comparison speaks for itself. Edited March 29, 2018 by HairDew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member utxeee Posted March 29, 2018 Regular Member Share Posted March 29, 2018 Hi hairDew, Glad to hear that necrosis did not let you down and you are happy with the results so far. Could you please post some photos of your hairline and crown as well? Cheers, utxeee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member HairDew Posted March 30, 2018 Author Senior Member Share Posted March 30, 2018 Here are the pictures of the hairline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member utxeee Posted March 30, 2018 Regular Member Share Posted March 30, 2018 Hi HairDew, Looks pretty good mostly if we take into account your original hairline! What about the crown pictures, can you upload them? Cheers, utxeee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member HairDew Posted March 30, 2018 Author Senior Member Share Posted March 30, 2018 Crown is lagging but from what I've seen, the crown takes longer to grow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member BjornBorg Posted March 30, 2018 Senior Member Share Posted March 30, 2018 Thank you for updating. Is the touch up for the necrosis spot only or also other areas? Will it be free of charge? My results - 2486 grafts FUE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Justin77 Posted March 30, 2018 Regular Member Share Posted March 30, 2018 Hey HairDew, I think your results look excellent so far, major improvement from where you were pre-op. I remember reading about your issue with necrosis when it happened and it was worrisome, but I'm very happy everything turned out so well for you.

Senior Member HairDew Posted April 26, 2018 Author Senior Member Share Posted April 26, 2018 Update: A touch up procedure is scheduled for May 22nd. Free of charge including my flight from US to Turkey. My procedure will be a long hair FUE (no shaving YAY). I'll arrive in Tureky on May 20th. The next day May 21st is my consultation day and the procedure is the day after. I can't wait. Dr. Erdogan is a world class act. This time my patient coordinator is Suzana (she's amazing, very responsive) as Sevinc (my previous coordinator) is on maternity leave. Wish me luck guys.

Regular Member highlander6 Posted May 3, 2018 Regular Member Share Posted May 3, 2018 So glad I chose Asmed again shows quality of work and looks after patients post op!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member HairDew Posted May 4, 2018 Author Senior Member Share Posted May 4, 2018 After discussing with Suzana (my patient coordinator) and Dr. Erdogan, I will go through a shaved FUE after all. Dr. Koray believes this will give me the best result and the way where he can match the hair more perfectly. It sucks to shave again but I think it's worth it.

I will post new photos in about a week at my 10 months of my last touch up procedure. But I can say I'm very happy the way it turned out. Nobody can ever tell I've had anything done. About a week ago, I've met a FedEx driver at my work (I often see him when he delivers for us). And we have a small talk. He's in his 40s and seems like a NW4-5. He was making remarks about him being bald etc. And then......wait for it...... He says "You are so lucky to have a full head of hair". Hahaha that's another validation for me that my procedure turned out really good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was very worried at 6 months as you can see. But it turned out very well. That's why it's imperative to wait at least full 12 months for people to judge the result. We all compare ourselves to others in terms of timeline and it doesn't really help our neurosis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
