Seriously, fantabulous result and an important part of that is the untouched looking donor. 😂😂 Cheers mate, put it this way I would have never worn these white jeans with my old hairline 😂🙈 Just never had the self confidence back then. Even one guy at work today outside asked why there was no scarring at the back 😊 Thanks for your feedback over the past year 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hairgod Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 (edited) Huge cosmetic difference.. Some people will envy this result. But to keep this forum fair and not misleading as it will cost a patient 8.5k to have 5000 graft fue procedure i must ask. Are you taking pictures with hair fibres? Are you restricted to one hair style? Does your donor feel depleted? Are you on fin? I ask these questions as i've seen many complaints about this doctor about lack of density, hair design, angulation of hair grafts, technicians being too young and unskilled the list goes on.... You look really happy. When a patient has a smile on his face the clinic has done it's job. Edited March 5, 2020 by Hairgod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you even from the side, it’s made a big difference (attached) The procedure cost £10,500 but the best money I’ve spent. Ever since I changed the style to be pushed back I stopped using hair fibres (around month 8 ) I found they wasn’t really adding much and if anything making the appearance look unnatural. I have different options now with regards to hairstyle having the hair up or having the hair pushed down or to the side. I did upload a few photos of my donor and doesn’t look or feel depleted to me. Yes I’m on finasteride too. I can only speak from my own personal experience but the clinic were brilliant with me from the moment I arrived in Turkey. So glad I choose to get my hair transplant with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted April 17, 2020 Administrators Share Posted April 17, 2020 Hair looks pretty thick, I would imagine thicker than 55 micron.

Senior Member Craig2412 Posted May 8, 2020 Author Senior Member Share Posted May 8, 2020 14 months I’m at 14 months now but really hard to notice any progress since the last update, so I’ve just attached one before and after photo. The before photo was my hair looking at its best prior to my transplant with me disguising my hair loss as best I could.

The transplanted hairs are so much more thicker then I imagined and the frontal area is all transplanted hair. I had no existing hair in that area at all to bolster the hairline. Maybe the finasteride and couple of supplements I take also played a small part in making my hair a little thicker and healthier too. But thank you for your feedback, I feel like a totally new person for the better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At 14 months I’m coming towards the end of my journey for my first transplant but I would like to thank you for all the effort and hard work you put into this forum. I said recently, but if it wasn’t for this forum there’s no way I would have been this happy or got this result even, as I would have got a hair transplant closer to home where the standards are less high.

Oh yeah I forgot to mention earlier but not bad for a downhill overpriced hairmill clinic. So grateful I choose these guys. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
