PatientHT5020 Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 I am a pacient of Dr. Koray and I'm 34 years old. I did 5020 graphs on 11 and 12th of October 2022. I decided to choose the most expensive option at 3 euro per graph, where the doctor makes all incisions, thus trying to maximize the chances to have a good result. I’ll try to summarize below key points I like and don’t like. Pros The patient responsible was very nice, answered every question I had, gave me very clear indications of what to do post procedure and responds quite quickly to my questions on WhatsApp; They really give you the feeling of a premium experience. Everything inside the clinic was really well built specific for a hair transplant clinic. I assume the investment was not small; The operation overall was very painless and gave me everything I needed; Cons During the incisions made by Dr. Koray they put me to sleep. That was in the first day of the operation, when they did my hairline and frontal part; I don’t want to speculate now why they did that, but I don’t like it honestly; They don’t want to provide the readings from Ke-Bot with the counting of implanted graphs. They only provide that 1 page with the number of graphs implanted and other details, which is not based on Ke-Bot scanning, as far as I understand. Thus, Ke-Bot is more like an internal software and a marketing tool, rather than an equipment useful for the patient; Even though I paid the most expensive option, Dr. Koray spend only 6-7 minutes with me before and after the operation; Other Unfortunately, I discovered this forum a few days ago, so I didn’t know about the issues with Asmed clinic that other members here are talking about. As someone that does industry research for large investment funds, I’m a bit frustrated that I didn’t do my research well. However, I see there are some very good results presented on this forum as well, so at this point I try to remain positive. I know it’s very early, but compared with other Asmed patients here, I’m a bit concerned with the density in the frontal part, after the scabs have fallen, as you can see on picture day 16; We agreed on 5000 graphs initially, but then Dr. Koray told me my donor capacity is 7000 graphs, which is quite below average. When he told me that, I should have decreased the number of graphs to 4000-4500, just to keep a little bit more graphs in the donor area. I believe so far I managed to follow the guidelines ‘by the book’, I’m trying to do all I can to increase the chances for a good result. I started taking Finasteride immediately after the procedure. I started this post to have a history of my evolution, by month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatientHT5020 Posted October 30, 2022 Author Share Posted October 30, 2022 I just realized I wrote 5200 graphs in the title instead of 5020. I don't see how can I edit the title of the topic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member botchedguy95 Posted October 31, 2022 Regular Member Share Posted October 31, 2022 OP is it possible to get more high resolution images from the clinic? I know they take pictures in a studio setting with a very expensive camera, yet somehow the images they give you are just blurry enough so that you can't zoom in to count the grafts, if I were you I would demand the higher resolution images so we can ger an idea about how and where the grafts were placed, because judging by your starting point i have a really hard time understanding how they fit 5000 grafts around your existing hair. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pictures they gave me have a much better resolution indeed, but once I uploaded them here apparently the size of the picture and implicitly the quality is not that great. If I start counting the graphs manually I might get to the wrong conclusion, if I do it wrong. If they put less graphs, then I have more in the donor area :). However, what matters most is how many of those implanted graphs will survive, which we will see in the coming 6-8 months. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Jackdaniels Posted November 2, 2022 Regular Member Share Posted November 2, 2022 (edited) Good luck and happy growing bro. Looks clean work….👍 Considering the number of grafts placed and your previous situation I think that you are going to get a good result. Let’s wait 8 months to judge! Keep us updated ! 😃 Edited November 2, 2022 by Jackdaniels 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PatientHT5020 Posted May 8, 2023 Author Share Posted May 8, 2023 7 months result. Very disappointed, very bad density in the frontal part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member StillAlive Posted May 8, 2023 Senior Member Share Posted May 8, 2023 Actually you are looking pretty good for Month 7. Remember, HT's are meant to give an illusion of density under NORMAL viewing conditions, not zoomed in 4K shots. If you post some more pics at normal viewing distances/angles, I believe that the result will be much more flattering. Also, you still have a good 5 months of growing and thickening ahead of you. Check out my thread for progress similar to yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valued Contributor A_4_Archan Posted May 8, 2023 Valued Contributor Share Posted May 8, 2023 Its not that bad dear....so dont worry...you still have time to improve ...hairs will get more thicker and fuller and you will get density till 14-16 months ....and hope you are on medication ....

I think it looks pretty good for 7 months. The density is good and it will improved the next months. Remember Hair transplant is an illusion of density you can never expect natural hair density with hair transplant.

Senior Member miko Posted May 25, 2023 Senior Member Share Posted May 25, 2023 It's still too early, but it looks like another failure and bad outcome of this "clinic". And NO, this is definitely NOT a good density... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
