Regular Member nwhr Posted March 17, 2019 Regular Member Share Posted March 17, 2019 Hi fellas, 3 months back, I had my first (and hopefully the last) hair transplant..I'm 37 years old btw..Although I could not invest so much time on research for this, i had a reasonable awareness of this treatment and chose Dr Doganay in the end and had surgery at his clinic in Antalya, Turkey. I stayed in the hospital where the clinic at, accommodation and airport transfers was included as a package Surgery took one day from morning to evening and applied to front line. Harvesting was done until lunch with micro motor by his assistants and his involvement was for transplant process after lunch break. Transplant was done by himself only and took around 3-4 hours. The period during operation and post operation was not very painful process except the needles for anesthesy I had a good experience with AHD clinic in general, they were friendly and helpful and their service was satisfying. I hope the result would be satisfying too 3 month progress is below with pre-op post-op photos I would be glad to hear your comments for the process so far, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member elduterino Posted March 19, 2019 Senior Member Share Posted March 19, 2019 (edited) did the doc use an implanter pen or was it the lateral slit method? Edited March 19, 2019 by elduterino Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member ILtrooper Posted March 19, 2019 Regular Member Share Posted March 19, 2019 Looks just like mine. The same doc. I started to really see some good visible results between 4 and 5 months mark. I look forward to more dense look in the coming months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Paddy Doctor did only the implantation part, extraction was done by his assistant (don't remember her name) As i m from Turkey, i wanted to do this in Turkey and after some research, i shortlisted some docs with mostly positive feedbacks and his available dates was also more suitable for me to choose . I had a good experience, so no regrets so far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member elduterino Posted March 20, 2019 Senior Member Share Posted March 20, 2019 It shows when skilled docs use the implanter pen - the results are often much better than the lateral slit in terms of packing and less scaring This is the method that top docs use such as Dr Couto in Spain when they do most of the implantation themselves and the techs only separate and load the grafts onto the pens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
