Regular Member nathd911 Posted October 30, 2017 Regular Member Share Posted October 30, 2017 Hi guys Thought I’d start my progress thread as I’m due to fly to Istanbul tomorrow for my hair transplant with Dr. Erdogan on 2nd November 2017. Been estimated 2600 grafts. Looking forward to flying at midnight tomorrow and finally having the transplant I’ve waited ages for! Will update as time progresses...

Regular Member nathd911 Posted November 1, 2017 Author Regular Member Share Posted November 1, 2017 Hi guys Well I’m here, finished my consultation at asmed... Dr erdogan is sticking with the proposed 2600 grafts, apparently I have donor capability of 7800, not sure if that is good or not! Here attached are the new hairlines pics, I look ridiculous bald! Look forward to an early start tomorrow and finally getting it done, wish I could go home tomorrow night but oh well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member nathd911 Posted November 2, 2017 Author Regular Member Share Posted November 2, 2017 Operation day Well it’s all over, 2750 grafts in the end, they gave me extra 150 for free... Attached a few pictures from immediately after, overall very happy! Just looks like slightly less grafts on the hairline on one side, maybe because that side is stronger! Don’t feel too great at the moment, got a horrible migraine sort of pain but unable to sleep... oh well, hopefully sleep it off, have my first wash tomorrow and be on my way home!

Senior Member HG1 Posted November 3, 2017 Senior Member Share Posted November 3, 2017 Looks good, mate!!! Good luck with the post operation! I'm going to my HT at ASMED on the 22th! You will be in very capable hands vchorro, the team and facilities are fantastic. The most surreal part for me was after the consultation, seeing the other patients who had just returned from surgery having the lazer treatment. Seeing up close what I had viewed in videos and pictures was quite strange, almost if I was dreaming. Good luck with your procedure. 5024 grafts with Asmed Clinic.

Regular Member nathd911 Posted November 4, 2017 Author Regular Member Share Posted November 4, 2017 Here are my official photos - I feel like the right side is slightly different compared to the left? Must be a reason why, maybe I have more native hairs there... Opinions welcome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member nathd911 Posted November 6, 2017 Author Regular Member Share Posted November 6, 2017 4th day post op Ok so I’m now 4th day post op, or maybe 5th if I had it on the 2nd? I’m saying 4th! Anyway, pictures attached... starting to obsess over damaging grafts which isn’t good, as I know in my sleep I roll onto my side etc. But hope all looks ok and on track?

Regular Member nathd911 Posted November 6, 2017 Author Regular Member Share Posted November 6, 2017 Also, I’ve got a couple of small pieces of tissue stuck in my grafts, don’t ask how! But can’t seem to wash them away... hopefully this doesn’t affect anything! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member HG1 Posted November 6, 2017 Senior Member Share Posted November 6, 2017 Hi vchorro, Your date is getting near, are you having any last minute reservations? If so don't!!! Just before and even after I questioned myself if it was the right thing to do. Well at 11 post Op, it an emphatic 'YES'. I feel and hopefully look much better. If the end result is anything like what I've experienced up to now I will be well chuffed. A few pics so you can see the 'Asmed hairline' 5024 grafts with Asmed Clinic.

Regular Member nathd911 Posted November 7, 2017 Author Regular Member Share Posted November 7, 2017 Day 6 Quick update, just made a collage so you can see how the redness has dramatically decreased! Top to bottom, left to right.. top left is straight after surgery, bottom right is today and each day in between...... hopefully I’ll have no lasting redness still waiting to see new hairs but it is scabby!

Senior Member HG1 Posted November 7, 2017 Senior Member Share Posted November 7, 2017 Hi Nath, Congratulations on your HT. The redness has reduced considerably. Don't worry about the scabs, aim to be scab free by day 10 if possible. Hairline looks great also. Happy growing, keep us updated. 5024 grafts with Asmed Clinic.

Regular Member scoobyht123 Posted November 7, 2017 Regular Member Share Posted November 7, 2017 Hey Nath, Seems like yesterday we were in the taxi on the way back from the clinic, glad to see that your redness has gone down so quickly and that you didn't suffer from too much swelling like our scottish friend! I know you were a bit worried about one side being slightly different from the other, have you noticed it evening out yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member nathd911 Posted November 8, 2017 Author Regular Member Share Posted November 8, 2017 Hey! I did get some swelling but not that bad, how was yours? How’s your recovery going? I’m having some weird sensation on my donor area, more irritating then pain I can’t really explain what it is! No it’s still the same, I think he has done it on purpose, there is probably a reason, I think I have more native hairs that side! But anyway you won’t notice it when it’s grown plus no one naturally has a perfectly straight hairline! Haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member scoobyht123 Posted November 8, 2017 Regular Member Share Posted November 8, 2017 Recovery is going well thanks mate. The hardest part is not touching my grafts, they are so itchy sometimes and I always used to play with my hair. The redness of my donor area has nearly all gone which i'm really happy with. I only had a tiny bit of swelling which wasn't that noticeable. I think you saw the extent of my swelling. Can't wait to have all the scabs off and be able to sleep normally. Also i'm looking forward to getting rid of this itchy / tingly feeling in my recipient area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha Everything is going well, seemed to have lost a few hairs but very minimal, touch wood i keep the rest! Just looks a little silly at the moment as the front seems to be growing at different rates... plus I never knew how thin my actual hair is in the middle! But dr erdogan said keep on dutasteride and it should improve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
