Regular Member londonla Posted February 1, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted February 1, 2023 Hi all Currently 2 days post op. Second hair transplant with FueCapilar, went with Dr Turan this time as opposed to Dr Gur first time round. No big reason - I wanted the hairline sorted this time and I’ve liked his work a bit better than Dr Gurs. Anyway, I’ve attached pre and post op pics below. In total went for 2970 grafts - don’t have the post surgery report yet so can’t remember the exact numbers, but hairline was all singles (I think around 1300 were for the hairline), majority of the rest of the grafts extracted were triples and those were mostly in the crown with a few in the mid scalp area (1400 crown and remaining mid scalp). Questions: 1. Does it look like 2970 grafts in total? The hairline is really nicely done imo and should have very nice density. Also got to rebuild the temples which I’m super happy about but a bit more concerned about the crown area, don’t think theres been enough placed to cover it in total. 2. The doctor said a reason for not placing as many in the crown was I’ve been on Fin only a year so more of the crown hairs should stop miniaturising and come back over the next few months and the grafts he’s added in should add density. Does this sound right? 3. In their assessment they reckoned I had 15,000 grafts possible in the donor area. Assuming the hairline comes out fine and crown improves but isn’t completely amazing, how many more of those can I risk before it becomes too depleted? Anyway I’m only 2 days post op so not too worried for now, will post updates over the next few months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted February 2, 2023 Administrators Share Posted February 2, 2023 Certainly looks to be close to 3,000 grafts, considering you’ve had grafts also put in the crown.

Regular Member Jackdaniels Posted February 2, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted February 2, 2023 Firstly happy growing. Yea it looks like 3k grafts. dr turan is an ethical surgeon and he sends to his patients an analytical report with all recipient and donor area details.

Did ask about it but he said it’s not available in turkey so I’d have to sort it out when I get home. Is it something you’ve tried? I’ve seen it’s way more effective but a bit scared about the side effects (heart rate stuff) and much higher dosage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeh ofcourse ...and evn it may be a case that applying topical everyday is a tough job and we cant be that particular at that and tend to skip once or twice a week ...and even making it penetrate on evry part of scalp in equal proportion wont be practically possible..where as oral minoxidil is an easier option and thrz rare chance of skipping it and moreover it is absorbed by the body systematically and thts why giving better results thn topical one. ..bt still u can consult ur surgeon and take his advice .... I have edited ths post to show u my results...see i got tht results and its tough to apply topical one properly over there..
