Regular Member GorillaSquad Posted February 17, 2021 Regular Member Share Posted February 17, 2021 (edited) Hi. I am almost 29 years old. I have recession and thinning and i sent these photos for asmed to look at. they told me 2200-2400 grafts needed for a strong straight hairline. they gave me a 1.5 euro, and a 1.9 euro and 2.5 euro options i decided i want to go with 1.9 where erdogan does some of the incisions himself. I specifically said i want him to do the very very front of my hairline for that natural look. i would be flying from seattle washington I havent booked just yet but i have a lot worry and fear Flights are hella expensive like 1400usd round trip and my flight there 20 Hours and on the way back 30. There really is no like good flight options at all unless i want to move up 2k usd Whats everyones thoughts? thank you Edited February 17, 2021 by GorillaSquad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member CosmoKramer Posted February 17, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted February 17, 2021 Hey man, As a person whom also went with Dr Erdogan/ASMED I’m going to try not to sound biased (I try to give my honest neutral opinion when possible no matter the clinic). The amount quoted sounds about right for the goal you want to achieve, although, I would wonder since youre close to 29 y/o do you think your hair loss has stabilized? Since your frontal area looks to still be miniaturizing and for myself I hadn’t lost the bulk of my hair until I was around 35+. That said, if yours is stabilized and you are being pro active and taking medication or utilizing some sort of treatment to prevent your current native hair from recession and loss...than it may not be a major worry for you for several years down the road if there are any. As for confirming that Dr Erdogan is going to do the incisions himself for your hair line...I think that’s very wise, he does some of the most natural appearing hairlines and temple peak incisions out there. And as for your worry and fear of flying half way around the world...I had the same fears...I have a fear of heights & flying and had never traveled overseas that far before...but with the Clinics help to ease my worries (especially that I had gone all alone to there) was very reassuring so I just said f*ck it I’m going to do it. Yes, the flights are expensive especially now that they are limiting them but that comes with the territory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive taken high quality close up photos of my hairline everyday for the past two years. I am on low dose of finasteride and feel like it has stabilized. i feel like having a great hairline now matters way more than it will ten years down the road. I am still single. So self conscious about this issue. so your surgery was a success? Anything post treatment that will really help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I totally understand your point on wanting to improve yourself now since your are still somewhat young-ish and single and just want to get it over and done...can’t disagree with you there man. Yes, it was a success, did it back in 2018, I made a progress post about it forgot the link since it’s been a while now but if you use the search box and type in mid-June progress you might find...if I do I’ll post it here for you to go through. As for anything post treatment that I think could really help that personally I think helped me...it to just relax and take it easy and if you have the ability to financially to stay a full week there in Turkey to be sure your grafts are healing well and not subject to any trauma from rushing to return home and the flights and plane passangers or you bumping your head damaging anything. I stayed in Istanbul almost 2 weeks if I recall just to be sure all healed well and scabs came off...but I would say at least 7 days/nights is helpful to ease worries..

Regular Member GorillaSquad Posted February 18, 2021 Author Regular Member Share Posted February 18, 2021 (edited) Do you guys think i can ask for a little less density in the middle of my hairline heres a front photo hair up and the temples kinda covered i feel like not adding too much density in the middle is crucial for a natural look as u can see here Like even thought i got quoted 2200-2500 grafts can i ask for slightly less like 2000 is this something the doctor is okay with? for me my temples being filled in are really the most important 12 hours ago, Melvin-Moderator said: How old are you?

Regular Member Mike2098 Posted February 18, 2021 Regular Member Share Posted February 18, 2021 I don't see why you can't ask them to go below 2000 grafts. Contact them, and mention to them that you need lower density in the middle of the hairline, and see what they say. It would also be a good idea to contact other clinics and get their opinion, and see if the work can be done with less grafts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your hair is excellent My temples. They receded and its been bothering me for years now. Most frustrating thing is when i try to do my hair it looks all messed up. I think i spend an hour just to do my hair. Ive been wearing hats so much to avoid it. Clearly a mental thing. But a transplant is a quick fix. I mean ideally i want no more than. 2000 graft transplant. 1800-2000 so if i go see asmed i am gonna tell them thats what I want. Thank you for the positivity tho!

Never a good idea to view hair transplants as a quick fix. A bad result can happen and believe me you’ll regret it. The risks outweigh the reward for you.
