Regular Member heckenpenner Posted October 31, 2018 Regular Member Share Posted October 31, 2018 Hi guys, i decided to do a hair tranplant at ASMED clinic in instanbul on 03. october 2018 and would like to share my experience and pictures with you. - I am 35 years old and from germany - my hairloss did begin at the age of 17 years - i started taking propecia/fin this month to increase hair growth after surgery. i guess i will stop after 1-2 years. transplanted grafts: 5500 (3000 day 1, 2500 day 2) donor capacity: 8400 grafts I felt very comfortable and the two days did go by really fast. I am quite excited about hair growth in the next months and will keep you updated. Greetings, heckenpenner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member VicTNYC Posted November 1, 2018 Senior Member Share Posted November 1, 2018 Work looks clean and well done, seems like you stayed in Turkey for a while since you had day 12 photos at the clinic. Also, looking at your pre-op before photos I’m somewhat surprised the clinic/ Dr Erdogan say your donor capacity is 8,400, which seems high but is great if true, but to me it doesn’t look so compared to other cases and since your crown area seems to be receding further in the downward horseshoe pattern, anyway keep updating and happy growing!

So far as expected all hair has shed so its a non event for the next month at least. Very intrigued how this all plans out. I see you are happy with the while experience.

FarsanUk Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 I notice your front didn't shed as much . Same was with me. We are at same stage same surgeon so interesting to see how this develops. This is just the start good times ahead especially around 6 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raphael84 Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 You hair is looking fantastic. Huge congratulations. You must be thrilled. Not even 4 months and look at the transformation. Several years ago, a 5500 FUE mega session would not have been heard of. Im very much looking forward to following your progress and see how things progress. Keep us updated!

Regular Member heckenpenner Posted March 25, 2019 Author Regular Member Share Posted March 25, 2019 photos from day 160. i am really happy and hair is growing... The crown is still taking time and not that fast like the front. I hope empty spaces will fill up in the next months... I guess it is normal? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarsanUk Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 Looks great from where you were pre OP. How many grafts did you have in the crown area ? I've heard alot of people say crown takes longer would love to know why from an expert on here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raphael84 Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 @FarsanUk To answer your question, I have my own theories but I thought that I would put it to do Dr Bisanga. Dr Bisanga said: The crown usually takes longer to look fuller so it is not that it grows slower but for someone to see fullness the hair needs to reach a certain length and also crowns take a lot of grafts . One need almost 60-70 density per sqcm to get fullness. I hope that helps!
