drazek Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 Background - I'm 40, I had 2000 graft FUT back in 2006 in US to repair my receding hairline. It was a good experience, but after 10 or more years, i’ve started loosing hair on my crown, so I decided to try and FUE to clean up and thicken my hairline, fill in my crown, and if possible try and hide the FUT scar. After researching many options in Turkey, I took a suggestion of a turkish friend and chose the Institute of hair based in Istanbul as I was impressed with their results, experience and prices. I went 1st week in December, and as someone who has had a FUT before and felt like I was on a conveyor belt, I have to say they were fantastic, I had 2 surgeons working on me, Elif and Mustafa who were super nice and very focused, so it took less time than I expected. The vibe was good in the room, I felt like I was with friends, this helped a lot over the 2 days of surgery as I felt comfortable with them. The quality of the work surprised me and I believe they matched my natural density very well. It was clear to me they are very focused on getting it right, going the extra mile and not rushing. All in all I was well looked after and my brief stay in Turkey was a pleasant one. I'm currently 2 months in so here so here's some photos from Op date(dec 7th) til now. So far so good the redness is gone, my transplanted hair has mainly gone now as I was told, so i'm looking forward to 2-4 months when the new hairs grow again. I'll keep on posting as I go along, and questions fire away. ps. Since op i'm on propecia, use aloe vera and coconut oil mix after showers to help heal the scalp and take msm supplement.

drazek Posted April 5, 2018 Author Share Posted April 5, 2018 After 4 months the new hair is starting to grow, its fine for now, but I'm glad progress is being made I'm in regular contact with the guys at Iohair on whatsapp, they have helped me understand the process of what to expect and when, this helps. They advised me to use rogaine foam to speed up the growth, so i've been using that too now. Looking forward to seeing more growth and thickness in the next few months.

PeloDinero Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 That hairline job in 2006 was considered a success?? Who was the doctor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valued Contributor Steeeve Posted April 7, 2018 Valued Contributor Share Posted April 7, 2018 (edited) That hairline job in 2006 was considered a success?? Who was the doctor? What about the hairline makes you think it wouldn’t have been a success in 2006 or 2007? I see no reason for it not to have been. 12 years ago there would’ve been more hair in that area and the hairline placement looks appropriate... Drazek, I think what you’ve got going now looks like it’s on track. The work on your second procedure looks super clean. I see no evidence of an FUT scar from your first procedure. I look forward to your updates. Happy growing. Edited April 7, 2018 by Steeeve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drazek Posted June 13, 2018 Author Share Posted June 13, 2018 Things have been going really well, the front has filled in really nicely, no gaps, and its looking pretty natural day to day, credit to the guys at iohair as now it looks much more balanced which was just what i wanted. The crown area has been growing slower, but this is normal from what i'm told due to less blood flow. But thankfully its been filling in nicely this last month, so i'm excited to see the progress next few months. Thanks for the feedback! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member JayLDD Posted June 16, 2018 Senior Member Share Posted June 16, 2018 That hairline job in 2006 was considered a success?? Who was the doctor? American (also Western in general) surgeons seem to get away with terrible results and no one ever seems to criticise them solely because they're American and have a medical degree. Fact is that like you say it's obviously a horrible result and even plenty of $2000 Turkish clinics do better work on a consistent basis.
