Regular Member WhineyMaloo Posted September 19, 2018 Regular Member Share Posted September 19, 2018 (edited) After months of researching I finally decided to go with armamed, my booking was very short notice on a day the clinic had an open slot so I took it, a week later I found myself in Istanbul. The service and everything was great, Muzaffer is a very down to earth guy that was happy to answer all the questions I had, I haven’t taken any meds ever and noticed abit of hairloss a few years ago but didn’t really do anything about it, I’m currently 3 months away from being 35 years old and my hair issues have been causing me grief, well today I had my surgery and I’ll be doing a week by week to month by month update on results. I have attached pics of myself pre and post surgery (today) hoping for some density but I’m not a good reader of transplants as they all look the same to me but was told it’s dense packed but Input would be great. My grafts were a lot of doubles and triples I was told. Edited September 19, 2018 by WhineyMaloo Forgot to add age Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member markymarc123 Posted September 20, 2018 Regular Member Share Posted September 20, 2018 Wow that was quick. Pretty sure you were on here a few weeks back asking about it. When did you get back? Looks good, Dr Erkan Demirsoy seems to be getting very popular recently. Did you lower the hairline at all? Do you have any consultation pictures from the clinic? Best of luck 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member WhineyMaloo Posted September 20, 2018 Author Regular Member Share Posted September 20, 2018 Yes that was me haha, I just went the yolo approach and booked the next available which happened to be a week later, I lowered it a tad but pretty much went with the same shape as my original hairline from my mid to late 20s as I didn’t want to look unnatural as I will be 40 in 5 years. I will ask for them today and post them up, all in all I’m very happy with the clinic and how easy everything seemed, put it this way I’m more dreading the flight back home way more (tomorrow) than to have another surgery, which sounded like a much bigger prospect than a flight pre operation. Here’s hoping I get some good results, I’m mainly hoping for high density 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member WhineyMaloo Posted September 24, 2018 Author Regular Member Share Posted September 24, 2018 (edited) So I’m on day 5, I had some swelling that seemed to last about 2 days, reading on other people’s experiences with the donor area a lot of people have a lot of pain and itching which I haven’t had yet, it looks fairly healed. Seeing some tiny rivering/cracks which is said to be normal Also just touching the recipient and doner area gently makes a few scabs/dead come off off, some have tiny hairs some don’t, no bleeding or no pain so I don’t know if I should be worried, just found it strange that it’s so early for this to be happening.

Senior Member lukeyb1687 Posted September 24, 2018 Senior Member Share Posted September 24, 2018 Whiney,, The work looks clean and should result in a killer hairline!! At this stage, try not to touch any of the grafts, I'd wait at least 10 days to gently massage the scabs off. You want to make sure that they anchor and you don't knock them loose! 12/2017 - 3500 Grafts- Dr. Emrah Cinik Follow my progress: http://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/eve/188512-3500-scheduled-dr-cinik-12-12-a.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member WhineyMaloo Posted March 19, 2019 Author Regular Member Share Posted March 19, 2019 6 months in, kind of happy but kind of not happy at the same time, lacking a bit of density and my left side which started growing the fastest has stagnated and is lagging behind the right now, very happy with my right side so far. Judging by what you guys usually see how am I tracking so far? Would I expect to see new hair or just existing hair thicken? If I run my wrist through the transplanted areas I can feel prickles but have been feeling that throughout the whole process so I’m unsure of what’s happening. I’d be super happy if the density increases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member CosmoKramer Posted March 19, 2019 Senior Member Share Posted March 19, 2019 Hi In my opinion it looks real good for 6 months, although it would be better opinion to see it in direct lighting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
