Senior Member Ajamilo Posted December 21, 2023 Senior Member Share Posted December 21, 2023 What did the doctor say about your result so faar? I always said he is the worst doctor that is recommended in this forum and a hair mill. I have seen plenty of bad works of him in Reddit and Facebook so I am not surprised of this result. have you consulted other doctors so faar? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a transplant with this doctor last year and i've definitely been overharvested on one side, the other side not so much, obviously their technicians are not consistent and it's worth going somewhere else. I remember reading they only did 1-2 patients a day but when i was in the clinic there was at least 6+ patients throughout the whole day i counted. would not recommend this clinic, 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member jjalay Posted January 14 Regular Member Share Posted January 14 Way to many bad results from this clinic. It just doesnt worth taking the risk just because of the low cost. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Tope Posted January 17 Author Regular Member Share Posted January 17 Here is the 1 year update. I dont really know what to say. So, Ill leave it all to you who follows this post. I still wear a cap when I go out. I dont think it looks good on its own. I use hair fibers now when I want to be capless 😅 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Tope Posted January 17 Author Regular Member Share Posted January 17 (edited) Me with hair fibers out in public 😅 I still carry a cap anywhere just in case. I dont check how it looks like in top, back or side views, as long as the front view is ok. 😂 Edited January 17 by Tope Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Al - Moderator Posted January 17 Moderators Share Posted January 17 Doesn't look too bad. If you can get a 2nd procedure to add a bit of density all over it should be looking full without the fibers.

If I remember it correctly Dr Yaman told me that my donor is not suitable for a 2nd procedure during the initial consultation. And I will not allow myself to experience those painful needles again. Ill stick to the fibers until a miracle will be discovered within this lifetime 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member wembley Posted January 17 Regular Member Share Posted January 17 Compared to your previous situation there's much improvement and your result looks decent enough! If you want higher density you can always go for a top up procedure. Your donor looks strong enough on the back. I think you could take another 2000-3000 grafts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member Jakefromstatefarm Posted January 17 Regular Member Share Posted January 17 Hello @Tope im scheduled for a transplant with Dr Yaman in about a month. Based off your before pictures I would say my hair loss right now is probably around the same level as yours before the procedure. But this post kinda of worries me considering that you're not completely satisfied with your results. Did you get consultations from other doctors before going to Dr Yaman? I'm not a professional but maybe your mid scalp wasn't bad enough for a transplant and the transplanted hairs damaged some of the surrounding native hairs. Also were you still shedding before you got the surgery and have you tried taking fin and minoxidil post op? Personally I think your hairline looks really good compared to your before pictures.

Regular Member singlefollicle Posted January 18 Regular Member Share Posted January 18 Did you try any medications before doing a transplant? I ask because from what I understand, asians are normally very good responders to it. Looking at your original start point, I thought of this guy at the wimpole clinic (even same head shape) https://wimpoleclinic.com/blog/norwood-stage-5-photos-treatments-results/ (scroll down to Does Finasteride work at Norwood stage 5?) His start point was worse than yours, but his end point was much improved. If you are not already on medication, it might be worth trying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
