mm0508 Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 (edited) My experience: I'm 30yo and started experiencing hair loss about 7 years ago. I've been on Dutasteride (which I found to be more effective than finasteride with less side effects) for about 2 years with some significant improvement. I also tried minoxidil and finasteride but not for a long. Had my surgery in turkey with Dr. Demirsoy about 6 days ago. I'll get in full detail about my experience in future posts, but I just wanted to get some honest feedback and see what yall think for now. So anyways here are some before and afters: Before: After: Hairline Days 1-6 (minus day 4) Left side Before and After (days 1, 2, 5, and 6): Right side before and after (Days 1,2,5,6): Top Before and After: Crown before and after (days 1 and 3): Donor before and after (days 1,2,3, and 6): Edited July 7, 2022 by mm0508 format 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THE TRUTH Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 Demirsoy is the real deal Did he perform all steps by himself: extraction, incision as well as implantation ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I paid for the 1.5 euro/graft package so he did the extraction and incision placement and he had 3 nurses do the implantation. I don't think many surgeons do all three steps themselves. There are other packages where nurses take over the step which of course is cheaper. We started at 8am and we were done around 6:20pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you still think I'll have a lot of see through when all is said and done (other than the crown). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THE TRUTH Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 Density looks okay. Obviously not as dense as your native hairs but looks decent so far. Hair transplants are all about the "illusion of density". It generally requires at least 2 passes to get as close as possible to native hair density especially with a buzzcut. On advanced norwoods it may be impossible. Dr. Demirsoy is amongst the handful few reliable/decent options in Turkey so you should not be worried at this stage 👍 That being said, hair transplants are always highly unpredictable. You never know and you can never guess the graft survival rate till you hit the 6 months mark no matter how good or how bad the recipient area looks before the shedding phase. Once you hit 6 months you will have a pretty good idea of how sucessful it is and how many grafts survived. The good news is that you didn't have that much hairloss on the crown. It wasn't a very wide crown and it's not like it was slick bald. Just thinning so it is realistic to expect good coverage especially if the procedure was performed correctly by a good doctor. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
