Regular Member Belman Posted January 10, 2020 Author Regular Member Share Posted January 10, 2020 Hi everyone, Today is the 16 week mark (112 days) and I'm really pleased with the progress I'm now starting to see. Definitely a lot more growth coming, and given I'm not yet at the 4 month mark, I'm hopeful over the next 4 weeks I'm going to see a lot more coming through, particular the hairline which I feel looks very natural. I'm keeping my donor area shaved down to a number 1 every couple of weeks and trimming the implanted areas with scissors and I'm really comfortable and more confident being out and about without my "Peaky Blinder" flat cap. Still using the clinics shampoo, and taking biotin every couple of days. I'm not and never have taken any other medication. I update Dr Cinik's clinic through WhatsApp every 4 weeks, the only thing I would say is there's not much feedback from the clinic other than a reply that everything is looking good, which I will take as a positive. All in all really please with how things are progressing. Will update again in 4 weeks. Grateful for any feedback on the pics below.

Zenn Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 Hi Belman! What is your current progress? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Belman Posted February 11, 2020 Author Regular Member Share Posted February 11, 2020 Hi Zenn, Progress between weeks 16 and week 20 has been really pleasing. I was trying to hold off putting up any updates until my official 5 month mark which will be Thursday 20th February, but since you have asked I've provided some photos below from week 20. In one of the photos I have provided a comparison from week 16 to week 20 and you can really notice the difference that has taken place over the last 4 weeks. I'm now hoping for more density over the next few months, but I am delighted with the progress to date. Family, Friends, work colleagues cannot believe the progress. A couple of work colleagues who I had not seen for a couple of months, new something was different but couldn't work it out until I told them and they couldn't believe the difference (They think I look 10 years younger!!) Hope your progress is going well too.....be patient (no matter how hard it is - I don't think I've looked in the mirror as much these past 20 weeks) - have trust in the process and hopefully everything will happen as advised. I have also attached a comparison from before the intervention and now. 20 weeks Before intervention Week 20 Week 16 My HT Story https://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/topic/55357-doctor-cinik-fue-hair-transplant-200919-4200-grafts/?tab=comments#comment-523095 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zenn Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 Great change. The difference is incredible and I think you can be satisfied. I'm 3 months behind you so I'm waiting for the first results. I believe they will be as good as yours. Thanks for your reporting and pictures ... Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Belman Posted February 20, 2020 Author Regular Member Share Posted February 20, 2020 HI all, It's the official 5 month anniversary today and I'm delighted with how my hair is progressing. The difference in the last few weeks has been incredible and I'm hoping there will be a lot more density coming over the next few months. Friends and family cannot get over the change and I feel really good about the results thus far.

Collyflower Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 Wow looks really good! Im almost 2 months post op with Cinik and I’ll be pretty happy if my results are this good. Hope your growth continues at this rate over the coming weeks and months! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Belman Posted February 24, 2020 Author Regular Member Share Posted February 24, 2020 Thanks @Collyflower. Good luck to you also. Feedback from the clinic was I'm only 50% finished so fingers crossed more growth and density to look forward to in coming months.

Regular Member Belman Posted March 22, 2020 Author Regular Member Share Posted March 22, 2020 So I reached the 6 month mark on Friday 20th March. Time has really flown in and I'm delighted with the progress. Only thing now is I'm want more density on top but hopefully this will come in next few months. I've attached pictures below having just had number 1 on sides and back. Also a couple of comparison from before and after and top of head today and 4 weeks ago. 2 My HT Story https://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/topic/55357-doctor-cinik-fue-hair-transplant-200919-4200-grafts/?tab=comments#comment-523095 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Belman Posted April 23, 2020 Author Regular Member Share Posted April 23, 2020 Hi all. Firstly I hope everyone is keeping safe and well in these crazy times. I reached the 7 month mark on 20th April and I am delighted with the progress. If I was told at the start if this process this is how my hair would look I would have been delighted. I think it us important to remember what your wishes were at the start in order to manage expectations. I wanted to regain my hairline and I am really happy with the results. Ideally I would like a bit more density and hopefully this will come over the next few months. One thing I would say is the transplanted hair grows upwards, which is fine for me as I wear a spiked style and dont need to use hair product, but might not suit everyone. The clinic sent me an email last week and are happy with the progress, but suggested I use finasteride to enhance growth, however I just going to continue using biotin. I've attached pics below.

Zenn Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 Hi Belman that's right, 4.5 months have passed since my surgery with Dr. Cinic. I was in Turkey on December 10, 2019. I'm pleased with the progress from month to month and I'm so happy. I'm really looking forward to new hair. Your change is really impressive ...

Regular Member Belman Posted June 19, 2020 Author Regular Member Share Posted June 19, 2020 Hi everyone. Just another quick update. I've now reached the 9 month mark (cant believe it's been that long). Don't think touch has changed since my last post. Hair growing, if I,m being over critical some areas appear thicker than others (I'd approx 2000 grafts in hairline area, 1000 in middle section and 1000 in crown) but probably as expected. We all strive for perfection but I compare were I was at 9 months to today then I'm absolutely delighted with the results. I've posted pics from today and July last year so you can see the difference.

Regular Member Belman Posted August 20, 2020 Author Regular Member Share Posted August 20, 2020 So guys, today is the 11 month mark. I havent posted since 9 months because I wanted to leave it to see if there was much more difference. Not sure there has been much more growth over this period, or maybe its more difficult to notice at this stage. But if this the end of my growth then I am more than happy with the result. Obviously there are some areas thicker than others, but with realistic expectations I think dr Cinik (he done the incisions) and his team have done a great job. Below I've listed my latest pics. Below I've done a timeline collage throughout the process which really shows how far I've come in the process. As I've said, I'm more than happy with the result and any further growth from now would be a bonus. Will keep updating every couple of months until around 18 months. Stay safe. 1 My HT Story https://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/topic/55357-doctor-cinik-fue-hair-transplant-200919-4200-grafts/?tab=comments#comment-523095 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
