LonelyGraft Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 Hi uncle drew. Good luck. Who is your doctor? Any pre op photos to share? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Uncle drew Posted August 12, 2019 Author Senior Member Share Posted August 12, 2019 My doctor is Kaan Pekiner after lots of research I decided to go with a doctor who does the whole procedure himself using manual extraction and the stick and place technique...I’m very confident about my choice I’ll post pics about my current situation soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Glenn Charles Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 Good luck. Looking forward to following your progress. All I hope for is that patients go to quality hair restoration physicians and get great results. It is the clinics that are doing low quality work often performed by a non physician that is giving this field of medicine a bad name.

Dr. Glenn Charles Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 No I have not, but I am glad to hear that he is doing the extractions himself. Dr. Glenn Charles is a member of the Coalition of Independent Hair Restoration Physicians Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member Anthonyd Posted August 19, 2019 Regular Member Share Posted August 19, 2019 Hi Uncle Drew, Great choice of Doc, I think you have made the right decision going with Dr Pekiner. when I was researching extensively, he was in my top three. Will it be done over a few days? Do you know roughly how many grafts? Best of luck👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best of luck👍 Hey AnthonyD that’s my second surgery I’ve done one 2 years ago of 2000 grafts in Greece wasn’t bad but not great either so going with Dr Pekiner to improve the density and redesign of the hairline and make it more homogeneous overall...we said around 1500 but final consultation will be the day of the surgery and the plan we goin to follow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member Uncle drew Posted August 21, 2019 Author Senior Member Share Posted August 21, 2019 I just had my surgery with dr Kaan Pekiner what can I say about him man...everything that everybody said about him is true He extracted 1080 grafts cuz he wanted to prevent my future hair loss and he was confident about the results rebuilding the hairline and add density behind the hairline...also had to remove some plugs from the previous surgery in the corners cuz they were wrong angled and they were tripled in the hairline...I’ll post pics once i remove the bandage or when I get the pics from the clinic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member Uncle drew Posted August 22, 2019 Author Senior Member Share Posted August 22, 2019 Second day today removed the bandage and I can feel the swelling going on my forehead...dr said everything looks fine and he’s positive gonna be a good result cuz of the medium to thick caliber and the 2,60 hair per graft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LonelyGraft Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 Looks clean. Any pre op pics? The swelling is normal, likely anesthesia moving down. Make sure to drink lots of water Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Uncle drew Posted August 22, 2019 Author Senior Member Share Posted August 22, 2019 I feel good about the hairline design and looks very clean indeed...pre op pics once I get them from the clinic I’ll upload straight away yeah I got a pack of waters in my room stay hydrated but I’m sure Anesthesia will go down in my face soon I hope till Saturday that I go home I’ll look ok...but thnk you for the support Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
