Regular Member Sbiza Posted July 24, 2021 Regular Member Share Posted July 24, 2021 (edited) Hi everyone, I posted back to last year around August about a potential FUE, I made the jump after the advices from everyone, thank you so much again! First FUE session in Istanbul, around 5k grafts. I'm wondering if the results are decent for now. Before: Today, almost 7 months in: Please let me know as I'm preparing for the 2nd procedure to cover the crown and add density to the top. I'm wondering if the results are decent or I have to shop around before the 2nd one. Thank you everyone! Cheers!

Senior Member Britanium Posted July 24, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted July 24, 2021 Who was the clinic that done the FUE ? Do you have any pre/post op pics ? You do have some growth but I wouldn’t say it looks like 5k worth. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member Britanium Posted July 24, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted July 24, 2021 Sorry to say they have inflated those graft numbers. Not 5k. If I can be honest it does not look like particularly refined work. You could choose a much better clinic for round 2. If your sticking with Turkey you may want to consider Dr Bicer or HLC for example. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Britanium Posted July 24, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted July 24, 2021 You will get further growth and maturity though from your current position. You still have another 5 months for it to improve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's frankly what I was thinking, this is one the reason why I decided to repost today, because I was doubting since it didn't look for like a 5k results for me at 7 months mark. Thank you for confirming. Do you think that I can get a better coverage/density in the upcoming 5 months? Edited July 24, 2021 by Sbiza Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Britanium Posted July 24, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted July 24, 2021 (edited) It will improve but it’s difficult to say how much. Please keep posting, monthly updates If you can. Please consider choosing someone else though that will be able to refine the hairline and moreover give you a accurate amount of grafts.

The donor area is pretty fine from what I see, sorry it's hard to take pictures, but here's what I was able to do. What do you think?

Looking ahead I would also really consider Eugenix. They do wonders for the higher Norwood levels. And are experts at using Beard grafts to supplement/add density. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member Britanium Posted July 24, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted July 24, 2021 Yes your donor looks like it will take some another round of FUE. Shame you didn’t start out with FUT. it would have really maximised your graft potential. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waw! I just saw the results, yes now we're talking about over 5k grafts.. I wasn't really convinced with the 5k for the top.. especially after the results. The worst, they told me, yeah we will try to take another 4-5k for the crown and to add more density to the top, ridiculous..

And they are able to take some pretty good amounts from a decent beard area. Always be wary of clinics that quote such high numbers. 5k is a suspicious amount to do in one day ! Especially for FUE. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some other clinics which spring to mind are HDC @Doron Haratiand Vertex clinic @DrTBarghouthi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Britanium Posted July 24, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted July 24, 2021 (edited) When I think of Turkey then Its really limited… Dr Bicer is forum recommended and does good work. HLC and Dr Pekiner also can be considered. But really for your Norwood level and needs then Eugenix would be the perfect fit.

Senior Member Britanium Posted July 24, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted July 24, 2021 (edited) If your budget allows then you should also consider BHR/Dr Bisanga. Awesome work with the higher Norwood levels too. @sl and @Raphael84 Edited July 24, 2021 by JohnAC71 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Sbiza Posted July 24, 2021 Author Regular Member Share Posted July 24, 2021 Thank you @JohnAC71 I really appreciate your suggestion.
