Regular Member ISMO Posted October 19, 2019 Regular Member Share Posted October 19, 2019 (edited) Hello everyone! I am a 46 year old man who started losing hair in 2009 to 2010. I don't know why I lost my hair during that period. It has always been my dream to have a hair transplant and now I am ready for it. After some online doctor and clinic searches, I chose to go to Turkey at Doctor Demrisoy to perform a hair transplant. Between 3000 and 3500 grafts to fill temples, lower the hairline and "dense packing" in the temples and hairline. Why did I choose the doctor Demisroy? 1- Dr.Erkan Demirsoy performs hair surgery approximately for 15 years. He has been a member of the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery (ISHRS) since 2003. 2- He does not market as hard as other doctors and clinics. 3- Dr Demirsoy himself does more than 70% of the work. Planning of hair transplantation, hairline design, graft extraction and canal opening are performed by Dr. Demirsoy. 4- Dr. Demirsoy only takes one patient a day, which means his care should be only to me that day. 5- He doesn't have many results on the internet because he only takes one patient a day, I think. But all his results that I checked here and on other forums were very good. I'm happy to meet the great doctor Demirsoy next Friday.😊 My plan is to update you with pictures every three months.

Regular Member ISMO Posted October 30, 2019 Author Regular Member Share Posted October 30, 2019 Hi everyone. It is done!! 2914 grafts FUE method. Had my surgery on October 25, 2019, I only take vitamin Biotin. There was no pain, just the first three minutes and everything was fine. The doctor and his team look very clean, professional and they are also friendly. the team includes 5 people Doctor Demirsoy, his assistant Muzzefer and three nurses ladies. I felt like I was in safe hands. My experience with the doctor and his team was really perfect. Doctor Assistant Muzzafer is also a very nice person. He can speak English and German. He always answers the questions before and after the operation. He also arranges hotels and transport. When I submitted my photos for consultation, the doctor recommended 3000-3500. I got 2914 grafts. The doctor said that's enough. consultation, hair line design, haircut and surgery took 9 hours from 8:30 am to 5:30 pm. It was a 20 minute lunch break. I am very happy with my new hair line and can't wait for the results in 6 months. The last three photos took today (5 days after surgery) with high resolution iphone 11 pro camera. The rest took it with the clinic camera Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It didn’t grown in all the same length as you believe....it’s obvious that the darker lighting makes his already naturally dark hair look uniform in the donor when in actuality it isn’t and you can see the slight redness left from the extractions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member ISMO Posted November 1, 2019 Author Regular Member Share Posted November 1, 2019 Hi guys, I”d notice that space . first appeared a 2 long strip of dandruff yesterday. and when I washed my hair today I found no hair instead. is that normal or does transplant hair fall after just a 6 days?I not understand why long strips.

Senior Member 1978matt Posted November 1, 2019 Senior Member Share Posted November 1, 2019 Normal. I believe it is to do with swelling followed by contraction. A bit like a clay river bed drying up. Those 'cracks' will shrink away over time. 1 4,312 FUT grafts (7,676 hairs) with Ray Konior, MD - August 2013 1,145 FUE grafts (3,152 hairs) with Ray Konior, MD - August 2018 763 FUE grafts (2,094 hairs) with Ray Konior, MD - January 2020 Proscar 1.25mg every 3rd day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, this is totally normal, due to your scalp contracting and probably some graft hair scabs shed already but the graft is under the skin so nothing to worry about. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member ISMO Posted April 25, 2020 Author Regular Member Share Posted April 25, 2020 (edited) Hi all , I am just past the 6th month now. Just a quick update on my progress. My right side and front as you can see from the photos is still thin. I know i got a difference with before, but i hope this thickens up so the patches fill in within the next few months. There are many new hairs which keeps sprouting but it is very thin, and it is difficult to see with the eye without zoom. I do not know if this hairs is due to the minixidil and should fall away when I stop minoxidil, or that is the transplanted hairs start to grow thin and after a few months they will get thicker. look at the last picture. I took this photo under harsh lighting. Edited April 25, 2020 by ISMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Sijac09 Posted April 25, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted April 25, 2020 This is looking to be a really good result! I wouldn’t worry too much about your temple. You’re at 6 months, there is still a little more thickening to come 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
