Regular Member Colly29 Posted December 30, 2021 Regular Member Share Posted December 30, 2021 (edited) Hi all first post on here I had my 2nd transplant recently in November 2021 with Dr. Marwan Saifi after a previous hair transplant in Istanbul with Dr. CINIK (5K Grafts) This operation with Dr. Saifi was on my temporal peaks, hairline touch up(Repair from 1st transplant) and temple work for added density, I also got anything spare thrown in the crown. I'll update again at 3 months and at other milestones. Started shedding around day 8 with some hair in the scabs but Dr. Saifi said all looks good - great thing about Dr Saifi is he responds himself to any queries. Few hairs here and there shedding too but nothing major yet. Temple points still a bit red you can see but they look really good as you can see, the blend is beautiful. Dr Saifi sent me on about 250 photos taken on day which tells the tale of the whole procedure and we have some videos too that was cool to see. I've attached some photos below to give you an idea of where I started and now Edited December 30, 2021 by Colly29 Mention of repair from 1st surgery 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member MazAB Posted December 30, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted December 30, 2021 Work looks great! Looks like the post op care will be very good as well. Long journey ahead, but a great start to it here. Hoping to see good steady progress moving forward. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Colly29 Posted December 30, 2021 Author Regular Member Share Posted December 30, 2021 Thanks very much, the 1st transplant gave me density but there was lots wrong with it! Dr. Saifi managed to fix it up and give me exactly what I wanted with limited donor. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member MachoVato Posted December 30, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted December 30, 2021 It's only under these conditions do people really see the quality of work being produced by Cinik. You made a huge upgrade by going to Saifi.

I'm very happy now with how my 2nd op went and just waiting patiently now for the growth 😊 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm very happy now with how my 2nd op went and just waiting patiently now for the growth 😊 It's hard to say if it was a mistake. I've seen some really good results from Cinik (with hair grown out). To me, it's a gamble. You're right that it wasn't terrible. The donor was salvaged and you were able to lower the hairline, as opposed to having to remove poorly implanted grafts. Personally, I believe *most* people need a second transplant to refine hairline and improve density. You're on the right track now! 1 HLC Ankara | 4261 Grafts | Nov 7, 2020 (Hairline) Dr. Bisanga, BHR Clinic in Brussels | 1528 Grafts | Aug 12, 2021 (Crown and Temples) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I either wear it up or down but for day of surgery just left it natural so the Doc could see what way my hair flowed 💪 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Colly29 Posted February 3, 2022 Author Regular Member Share Posted February 3, 2022 Hi all, little 2.5 month update after my first cut. I didnt shed completely on my temple points and you can see the outline still. I think everything on top shed so just waiting on the growth. Dr. Saifi says all looks great and the growth will begin soon! I've grown a few little hairs on the hairline so that's something I guess! Will update again when there's something to update 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member Colly29 Posted April 4, 2022 Author Regular Member Share Posted April 4, 2022 Hi All, quick 4.5 month update. Ive shared photos before and after a haircut 1 day apart to get a better idea. There's been some progress on temporal peaks. There's a small gap on the left side peak which I'm waiting to fill in but looks OK so far it's taking shape. Hairline is very slowly but surely coming in but will just have to wait and see. Crown then looks to be ever so slightly growing also. Could be a big next couple of months ahead! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valued Contributor Gatsby Posted April 4, 2022 Valued Contributor Share Posted April 4, 2022 Looks excellent @Colly29. You can buzz it down at the back and sides and cannot tell. You've got just short of another six months ahead of you of growing. Thanks for the update and all the best! 1 1 GATSBY 'UNPLUGGED!' 15,671 (3 surgeries) Grafts FUE+BHT Dr. Sethi Eugenix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
