Senior Member Spaceman Posted October 29, 2018 Senior Member Share Posted October 29, 2018 It’s a really great result. A huge transformation for you that you’ll appreciate for years to come. Congratulations! Few clinics could have done this in one procedure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member yesplease Posted October 30, 2018 Senior Member Share Posted October 30, 2018 This is a huge improvement, congrats. To demonstrate the opposite side of the coin, it would be really useful to see what it looks like when you make it look “less flattering” by not styling it just so or by combing it apart or perhaps when it’s a little wet. These are perspectives that we often don’t see when a member showcases their results, and it would be really useful to have both perspectives. That said, I understand if you’d rather not. Either way, again, congrats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Guys thanks for the comments. I will try and get some better resolution photos posted, together with it brushed forward and scrapped back. I may come across as Pro Asmed, I'm not - just trying to give honest feedback. Ben, I will be honest the hairline does contain a few doubles, but it really doesn't bother me one bit. As I've said previously the general public are mostly unaware of grafts having multiple hairs (my experience anyway). I'm wearing my hair to one side so the hairline is no really visible. I can honestly say that my hair looks as good as it did 25 years ago, when I was in my mid 20's, obviously when styled correctly Edited October 31, 2018 by HG1 spelling 5024 grafts with Asmed Clinic.

I can honestly say that my hair looks as good as it did 25 years ago, when I was in my mid 20's, obviously when styled correctly It's true that the top has much more hair than before the HT and considering how you looked before the HT, the difference is huge, it's not an illusion but a real and big improvement as I have told you privately, even if it doesn't look that great when wet as you seem to suggest. However, I noticed that something about the hairline, you don' have to show it in detail or better resolution if you don't want to, obviously. Every person has the right to show what they want to show, even if sometimes it makes us more curious. As Melvin and other people have seen, in my case I only had hair loss in the front area (NW3-ish) so, honestly, I expect a good density in the front and a good hairline as other people that had NW3 before the HT have achieved. I am at the third month mark, I have been told that now is when growth starts. Edited October 31, 2018 by BigBen Typos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member HG1 Posted October 31, 2018 Author Senior Member Share Posted October 31, 2018 Ben, I really have no issue showing the hairline or any other aspects of the hair. I had full input into its design and I’m 100% happy with its shape / contour. I did think it was slightly low after the grafts were placed, but trusted the Dr that it would look good, I think it’s just right. As soon as I can get my hands on a decent camera, I will take some updated pics. The hair looks ok wet, obviously with 50% or less original density it’s never going to look like it once did. Only time my hair gets wet is when im washing it, so no worries there. 3 months, nearing the end of ugly stage. Over the next couple of months, the magic will start. Hope you get a fabulous result. 1 5024 grafts with Asmed Clinic.

Hi Wheretogo, I just use a small spot of gel after washing and that's it normally. Have used hairspray, sprayed on to a brush and brushed through. This gives a fuller look and gives a nice shine. 5024 grafts with Asmed Clinic.

Senior Member HG1 Posted December 6, 2018 Author Senior Member Share Posted December 6, 2018 Hi Guys, Just a quick update. I'm now at 13.5 months almost post Op. I'm still finding improvement each month. Mostly the improvement is in hair calibre. Sorry no pictures, will try and provide some ASAP. I need a good haircut to be honest. I was lucky enough to be in Istanbul recently and called to see the team at Asmed. Dr Koray checked my hair and was happy with progress. We did agree I could do with another 1000 or so grafts in the crown, and he suggested addressing this via a long hair fue transplant, also probably a few hundred in both temple areas. I will give it till I'm 18 months before I decide on any further surgery. I've stopped with the Fin due to sides, so the weakness in the crown is probably down to losing further original hair. A little Toppic covers in seconds, so no real issue. I was lucky enough to be shown around the new facility at Asmed. It is amazing, really hi tec with the feel of a five start hotel. The place is huge. Everything is brand new and absolutely top quality. Whilst there I met up with all the old faces including Sema & Suzanne who were amazing as always. Also spoke to a couple of the Techs who were on my surgery. Some on here will no doubt say its Asmed turning more into a factory to push through more patients. I would suggest its reinvestment to give clients better care, support and ultimately a better result. Also worth noting Asmed have changed their post care pack slightly. ATP spray only used now up to the first wash - which is better and the foam has changed to more cream like application, which is used prior to the wash. 2 5024 grafts with Asmed Clinic.

Senior Member HG1 Posted June 16, 2019 Author Senior Member Share Posted June 16, 2019 Hey guys, been a while since I've been on. Sorry been busy enjoying the new hair. I'm around 19.5 months since my procedure with Asmed in Istanbul. Its hard to tell but I would say I saw improvement up to around 16 months. I will say it again, in my experience you have got to give a full year before thinking about another pass or considering the procedure a failure. I think my procedure was a great success, as my loss was huge. That's not to say a second pass is out of the question. I had just over 5000 grafts, another 1500 would infill the crown and maybe improve the temples. Having said that, I'm absolutely overjoyed with my result. Some pics below, apologies for the quality, promise to get some decent ones done soon. Again big shout out to Dr Koray and the Asmed team, they're work has been life changing and was worth all the time, money and effort.pic are obviously before and today 🙂. 1 5024 grafts with Asmed Clinic.
