Regular Member mayotuna Posted February 26, 2022 Regular Member Share Posted February 26, 2022 (edited) Would firstly like to say thank you to the forum for the help and details given about everyone's experiences! Learnt a lot! Its early days but overall, I'm really happy with the work by Dr Bicer so far. I'm really hoping for some great results! My background: 26M, started to notice hairline receding at 22. I began taking 1mg Finasteride, Minoxidil spray & Biotin beginning of 2020. Didn't notice any side effects so I've kept at it. I really feel it helped thicken or at least slowed down my receding quite dramatically and led to me think I could get a HT. I understand I'm young and expect another HT later on in life, especially after reading from this Forum but I still wanted to go through with it. After a over a year on Fin, Min & Bio, noticing my hairline was feeling stable, I started looking for HT options. I had 4 consultations with different Doctors, mainly in the UK, all with similar graft estimates. After being on this site for a couples of years, it was hard not to notice Dr Bicer. In September 2021, I sent over my pictures, had a Face time session and Dr Bicer estimated 2500 grafts. I felt really confident about her, answered all my questions and I was then schedule in for mid March. I was later notified of an earlier opening and the date was brought forward to 15th Feb! Day of the operation I was there from 9am and left at 5/6pm Hair shaven, hairline drawn (by Dr Bicer & I), grafts harvested & collected (by Dr Bicer & 2 nurses), incisions made (by Dr Bicer) and finally placing the grafts into the incision holes (by the nurses with Dr Bicer checking all the time) Grafts = 2800 1400 Singles 1100 Doubles 300 Triples I'm continuing to take 1mg Finasteride & Biotin with Dr Bicer advising me on getting a blood test to double check for side effects. Pictures below showing a week before, day before and post surgery Will update throughout Thanks! Edited February 27, 2022 by mayotuna 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member Elrecio81 Posted February 27, 2022 Regular Member Share Posted February 27, 2022 (edited) Which one did you get the manual or automated? I assume automated one is using the robot? This is what her website shows Edited February 27, 2022 by Elrecio81 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Britanium Posted February 27, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted February 27, 2022 The automated is not robot/ARTAS it’s still FUE it’s just using a different/faster method. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member mayotuna Posted February 27, 2022 Author Regular Member Share Posted February 27, 2022 @Elrecio81 I paid for 2500 grafts @ €1.5 per graft. €3750 in total and it was quoted 6 months ago. I also sorted out my own transport and hotel as it was cheaper but a little bit more further away. I believe it was FUE automated, still all done by Dr Bicer. Looking to update in a couple of days with my 2 weeks post. Scabs have nearly completely healed! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Elrecio81 Posted February 28, 2022 Regular Member Share Posted February 28, 2022 @mayotunathats awesome man, please keep us posted on your progress. So overall it went well with Bicer? Or what do you think may need improvement. I’m also curious about how many days after your HT you went back home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member mayotuna Posted February 28, 2022 Author Regular Member Share Posted February 28, 2022 @Elrecio81 Overall, Dr Bicer is great! The whole team is very comforting, their space is very clean and quiet (One patient per day), you do feel very focussed on! Schedule went like this; Sunday flew to Turkey, Monday paperwork at Dr Bicers, Tuesday Operation, Wednesday check up with Dr Bicer @ 9am, Wednesday, flew home @ 2pm. I would consider staying an extra day, I was still bleeding a little at the airport. You are given a very lose hat so it is hidden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member mayotuna Posted March 2, 2022 Author Regular Member Share Posted March 2, 2022 Day 14 Update Had a chat with Dr Bicer, all going well I have 2 little scabs that are still healing. I was a little rough when cleaning around day 4/5 & they began to bleed. I expect them to heal up in the next couple of days. I really dont mind this hair, I've also began wearing a hat outside. Always checking the hat for little hairs but dont see any. I'm gentle washing my hair and some are falling/shedding. This is normal, right? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Britanium Posted March 2, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted March 2, 2022 Yes the hair shedding is totally normal 👍🏽 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because I only had my hairline/front done, Dr Bicer gave me this hat which I was able to wear after she took my bandages off the day after the surgery. I wore it very loosely. You can see the front is very firm and upright so it doesn’t touch your hairline/front of head. Also, I would say most people on my flight had something done, it was either nose jobs or HT. You blend right in haha Edited March 6, 2022 by mayotuna 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
