And do you or anyone in here know of, had any experience with or heard of Dr Caymaz? when operating on 1st time, virgin scalp a B-list doctor is acceptable. But repairs are much more complicated and can only be entrusted with an elite doctor, preferably one known for repairs. Don't mess around in Turkey for a repair... Cooley, Mwamba, Bisanga, Feriduni are probably the best doctors specifically for a repair. Keep in mind that for repairs, a lot of doctors will require an in-person consult. Yes, you may be required to travel internationally just for an in-person consult. Cooley and Bisanga require this. I myself am seeing Mwamba in June. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But publicly, do you or does anyone know anything about donor restocking and how if at all successful it is? Where is the stock coming from to restock the donor?

The problem with body hair is the growth cycle is really short compared to head hair. It's the reason body hair is so short ... it's constantly reaching the end of its anagen phase and falling out. It can be done but really no good for your head. How many weeks since your transplant? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve been in talks with Dr Mwamba he seems really good. However he is very expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your looking at Turkey then consider Dr Bicer. Dr Caymaz is not someone you should be looking at, out of the frying pan and Into the fire. A elite/recommended Dr/Clinic needs to be doing your next procedure.

Even people that have had a great experience with a top surgeon start to feel anxious at this time. Did you check out that guy on YouTube latest update vid? against the odds, it looks pretty good, and he's happy with the result. From week 13 - 17 you should start to see noticeable improvement.

See the thing is, I know I’m in the ugly duckling phase and I know my density will improve. But the hairline was designed wrong and not to my liking so no matter how thick my hair gets there’s going to be no getting away from the hairline. Also one side of my head is very thin and butchered so that side will always be lagging behind the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as I can save someone else from going through the horrendous experience I went through. It means a lot to me that I was able to reach someone. If you could pay it forward to the next person I’d really appreciate that. Edited February 26, 2022 by Icicle 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s results being posted that helps prevent someone else going through the same experience. In this case @Mr Nilsenhas arrived on the forum in plenty of time to cancel and see real results such as yours, paying it forward like you have, well its priceless 🙏 Edited February 26, 2022 by JC71 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member Icicle Posted October 15, 2022 Author Regular Member Share Posted October 15, 2022 Hello everyone, quick update on my case… I’ve just been to see Dr Mwamba for a consultation regarding a repair and upon inspection he reckons of the 5000 grafts that Asli Tarcan extracted and implanted only 1000 grew. It looks like even though they damaged 4 out of every 5 grafts they took, they implanted them anyway knowing they wouldn’t grow but I would look like I had a lot of grafts immediately post surgery plus I would be halfway across the world before I ever found out and it would probably be a year later if I ever noticed. So it’s worse than I previously imagined. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might be a blessing that you don’t need them removed. Mwamba is very good. Hope he can fix up the damage caused here.

In all honesty you’ve probably heard from people who don’t know what a good hair transplant is and are just fed up of being bald. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member consequence Posted November 12, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted November 12, 2023 I know you don't want to post pictures but hopefully after a year you are more comfortable doing so. It would really add integrity to your review and help evaluate the sincerity of your complaint. Building a casa de papel with Dr. Couto: my 1700 FUE in Madrid.
