Regular Member fespafer Posted March 4, 2019 Regular Member Share Posted March 4, 2019 Thanks for updating your case progress. I'm on my 45 days after HT and I was having doubts with my progress (I started my own thread too), but your case made me see that it's totally normal how I look so far. You look great and I'm totally sure that in the coming months the thickening and maturation of your hairs will cover all the low density areas. Keep updating!

Regular Member cali101 Posted March 31, 2019 Author Regular Member Share Posted March 31, 2019 Hello everyone. I plan to post 9 month photos in about a week with my good camera but bought a phone microscope from amazon for about $5 and really didn’t think I was going to get anymore growth just thickening but you can see from photo new hairs still coming in (small white hairs) . Hope this helps people realize you can still get growth later on in process. This picture was taken tonight. 1 https://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/index.php?app=core&module=system&controller=redirect&url=https://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/topic/52355-asmed-dr-koray-erdogan-4264-grafts-july-2018/&key=74a57dbda1fbe0147b5dc0201016c88ccd710762fec105c09a25191ed0cbe1fd&resource= Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member munich Posted March 31, 2019 Regular Member Share Posted March 31, 2019 Are these white hairs implanted Grafts or just baby hair? If yes then it would be a great message 👍 I'm very curious to see your update in few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member cali101 Posted March 31, 2019 Author Regular Member Share Posted March 31, 2019 I think the white hairs coming in are grey hair but really don’t know if they are hairs that are new or just baby hairs. I’ve never looked at scalp with microscope so don’t know if everyone has these little baby hairs or they are like that because they are new hairs finally popping up. https://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/index.php?app=core&module=system&controller=redirect&url=https://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/topic/52355-asmed-dr-koray-erdogan-4264-grafts-july-2018/&key=74a57dbda1fbe0147b5dc0201016c88ccd710762fec105c09a25191ed0cbe1fd&resource= Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member cali101 Posted May 12, 2019 Author Regular Member Share Posted May 12, 2019 Hello everyone. I am 10 months post opp. Been busy so sorry for lack of updates. I had shaved it way down so was waiting for it to grow out a bit finally got a new hair cut shaving sides to a 2 and keeping long on top. I’m happy so far but obv still want some thickening but if I got nothing better it’s still much better than before surgery. Please remember I have very fine hair so I think I got good results so far based on my characteristics. Please let me know thoughts and if I should be expecting better for this time frame. I have been using some small amount of fibers which really thickens everything but the photos I post now are no fibers. I will try to post a quick photo tomorrow styled with fiber and I think it looks a lot better. I just have a little hair matte paste in hair now and also get a grey out treatment at the barber so might appear a little darker than my l photos https://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/index.php?app=core&module=system&controller=redirect&url=https://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/topic/52355-asmed-dr-koray-erdogan-4264-grafts-july-2018/&key=74a57dbda1fbe0147b5dc0201016c88ccd710762fec105c09a25191ed0cbe1fd&resource= Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Kraistoff Posted May 12, 2019 Senior Member Share Posted May 12, 2019 Looking good mate sure it will continue to thicken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member munich Posted May 12, 2019 Regular Member Share Posted May 12, 2019 hey cali ..thanks for your update. The top of your head looks very good and much better then pre op. The side peaks looks also very nice and frames your face well. I think that the hairline should be denser, but you have some months left for thickening. If it doesn't help a small touch up could it make perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member cali101 Posted May 13, 2019 Author Regular Member Share Posted May 13, 2019 (edited) As promised here are some quick pictures of my hair styled brushed back with a small amount of topik hair fiber and hair paste/wax. Again I am approx 10 months post opp. I am getting a lot more compliments on last couple weeks so think it’s getting thicker Edited May 13, 2019 by cali101 1 https://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/index.php?app=core&module=system&controller=redirect&url=https://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/topic/52355-asmed-dr-koray-erdogan-4264-grafts-july-2018/&key=74a57dbda1fbe0147b5dc0201016c88ccd710762fec105c09a25191ed0cbe1fd&resource= Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member VicTNYC Posted May 14, 2019 Senior Member Share Posted May 14, 2019 IMO, I think it looks pretty good from where you started and for the fact that you have thin hair, and it’s still possible for more improvement even if it’s just slight maturation up til month 18 or even 24.

Regular Member cali101 Posted May 28, 2019 Author Regular Member Share Posted May 28, 2019 Thanks everyone . I will make another post in couple of weeks at the 11 month update. My hair should be longer as I’m not cutting top only sides. The clinic wanted a photo with me having long hair for the 12 month photo. I assume so they can see if I am eligible for a touch up or if I need to come back for more work https://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/index.php?app=core&module=system&controller=redirect&url=https://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/topic/52355-asmed-dr-koray-erdogan-4264-grafts-july-2018/&key=74a57dbda1fbe0147b5dc0201016c88ccd710762fec105c09a25191ed0cbe1fd&resource= Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Gofi Posted May 28, 2019 Regular Member Share Posted May 28, 2019 I think it’s looking good, and can see great improvements from your post op photos. Especially looking front on that is coming on well, will be interested to know what feedback you get from Asmed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member CosmoKramer Posted May 29, 2019 Senior Member Share Posted May 29, 2019 Nice progress, hairline and temples look nice and natural, density could use some more thickening but that may happen up til 18th month or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member cali101 Posted June 7, 2019 Author Regular Member Share Posted June 7, 2019 Hello everyone. Here is a brief update for 11 months after a hair cut. ive included to pictures one with a gel more slicked back and another wearing it with a dry wax sticking up Any suggestions would be appreciated. I am waiting another month to send photos to Asmed to see if I need a touch up but overall it’s good but could be thicker. I always knew with my fine hair I would prob need more grafts. Please look back at my original before photos to compare. I cannot tell if the graphs all grew in just thin or I all my grafts didn’t grow https://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/index.php?app=core&module=system&controller=redirect&url=https://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/topic/52355-asmed-dr-koray-erdogan-4264-grafts-july-2018/&key=74a57dbda1fbe0147b5dc0201016c88ccd710762fec105c09a25191ed0cbe1fd&resource= Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member LordBaldwin Posted June 7, 2019 Senior Member Share Posted June 7, 2019 This is very good! IMO, the wax looks better than the gel, as gel makes it look wet (which, in turn, makes it look thinner). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member cali101 Posted June 18, 2019 Author Regular Member Share Posted June 18, 2019 Here are some updates photos 11 months 1 week. These are simply out of shower towel dried with no product. I haven’t had hair cut on top in a couple months as I had almost shaved it all off. I am still buzzing the sides to a 2 guard i always brush it and put product in before I go anywhere. Please let me know thoughts on how this looks. I am considering cutting the hair short on top again maybe 2 buzz throughout . 1 https://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/index.php?app=core&module=system&controller=redirect&url=https://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/topic/52355-asmed-dr-koray-erdogan-4264-grafts-july-2018/&key=74a57dbda1fbe0147b5dc0201016c88ccd710762fec105c09a25191ed0cbe1fd&resource= Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member CosmoKramer Posted June 18, 2019 Senior Member Share Posted June 18, 2019 Had to look at your 1st post and I think given your thin hair caliber (47 microns) and where you were pre procedure, your results for almost a year have turned out really good and it looks to me to be thickening up since your last months photos.

Regular Member cali101 Posted July 2, 2019 Author Regular Member Share Posted July 2, 2019 (edited) Hello, i am approaching 1 year in about 2 weeks. I plan to do a detailed write up and gooD pictures then but wanted to share couple shots now that I have let hair grow out. I really think I have seen a lot of thickening in last 2 weeks or so so people who are early on it you really can get better results even close to 12 months. I have no concealer in just some matted hair product.

Senior Member CosmoKramer Posted July 2, 2019 Senior Member Share Posted July 2, 2019 Congrats buddy! It looks great! What an improvement from even your 10th month photos! Yeah, I agree, the progress can possibly continue at 12 months or even more as I am noticing slight improvement in thickening and in close to 2-weeks as well, It’ll be my lucky number 13th month. 🍀😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member cali101 Posted August 3, 2019 Author Regular Member Share Posted August 3, 2019 I plan to post a detailed 1 year but was reading the post regarding dr koray but wanted to give brief update. I can make my hair look quite good with small amount of concealer but there are some density issues and lack of grafts behind hair line. I think hairline is great. I also have dark hair and very pale so any lake of density is much more prevalent and that’s why the concealer helps so much as it darkens my scalp. I sent some photos to dr koray just asking his opinion not asking for anything and he voluntary offered a free touch up procedure. I will include couple photos of my hair styled looking good and couple showing the issue that he has offered to fix. i will also post some photos tomorrow after I style it and add the concealer. If I could accomplish this look without concealer I would be very happy with my touch up. i am returning on September 17th so will start a new thread If anyone reading this has had a 2nd procedure with dr koray or a touch up let me know so I can read your experience https://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/index.php?app=core&module=system&controller=redirect&url=https://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/topic/52355-asmed-dr-koray-erdogan-4264-grafts-july-2018/&key=74a57dbda1fbe0147b5dc0201016c88ccd710762fec105c09a25191ed0cbe1fd&resource= Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member CosmoKramer Posted August 3, 2019 Senior Member Share Posted August 3, 2019 Hey man, I can see from your latest photos your lacking areas, definitely check out @DEB1982‘s & @jonyny‘s profiles pages to links to their 2nd touch up HT’s and best of luck on your touch up procedure.

Regular Member cali101 Posted August 3, 2019 Author Regular Member Share Posted August 3, 2019 thanks...really appreciate the info. I think it will be an easy fix and add some more density to top it off. I am not unhappy it can happen and I stated with fine hair which is more difficult to get homerun results in one go 1 https://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/index.php?app=core&module=system&controller=redirect&url=https://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/topic/52355-asmed-dr-koray-erdogan-4264-grafts-july-2018/&key=74a57dbda1fbe0147b5dc0201016c88ccd710762fec105c09a25191ed0cbe1fd&resource= Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I hear ya, I can understand the issue with fine AND such dark hair with skin contrast and densit, going by Debs & jonyjonys touch up progress I don’t see any reason why it would a complicated fix, they seem pleased.

jonnyalex Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 It is seemingly almost a given now that you need a touch up after an ASMED procedure. The truth is though, unless you go with an actual world class surgeon who performs most of the surgery himself, this is almost always the case. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
