Honestly, I am very happy. if you look at my pre-op pics at the very top of my post. i was completely bald. You have to remember the crown was never touched and I only had a frontal third surgery (temples, hairline to mid-scalp). Dr Pekiner advised it was not possible to do the whole head in one block/session. What i have had done was over 3 days. So pre-op to now ive been on finasteride MWF 1.25g per day. Dr Pekiner advised to jump on minoxidil after 3 months of the surgery but i never did. - reason for that was because I was very pleased with the growth and felt like i didn't need to. Now im considering topical min for the crown? in any event I will be going back for second surgery. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member shiba1985 Posted August 19, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted August 19, 2022 i completely agree with Dr Pekiner's strategy. time and time over again. I have notice in the field of hair transplant - slow and steady wins the race. I regret having a big surgery for my first one and my doctor did not educate me. Can you post your donor area a bit. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member shiba1985 Posted August 19, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted August 19, 2022 can you tell me how i get in touch with him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Vann Posted August 19, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted August 19, 2022 Wow for 8 months this is insane. Could you post some photos under direct sun light or outdoor lighting? additionally, do you plan on going only to pekiner for the crown? I think there would be better options for crown work but that of course is subjective. do you also happen to have any other photos in between months 3-8? When did the big transition hit? Since your hair is long it’s definitely hard to tell the type of coverage you have but I do like you posted back and front type of hair styles.

You can reach him through his advisor, Alex, at +393929905178. Dr P clinic name is Neo Head Clinic. I am scheduled HT with him from Aug 28 to 31 for ~ 4,500 with exactly the same kinda hairloss as Ali. However, I have requested Dr P for full coverage with a potential second surgery to get full density, of needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will look . But as you said the big caveat is graft survival , if atleast 90 percent survive your in for a good result. If you don’t shed as much is that a sign of increased graft survival ? Does taking fin help with graft survival how about topical fin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
