Regular Member Dannyboy88 Posted February 9, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted February 9, 2023 Hey guys, first proper post on this site so go easy on me! Brief background on me & my hair loss. 34 years older suffered from hair loss for 10 years and have now reached NW6 and haven’t progressed for the past 5 years. I’m not on any fin or mix. Started my research for a hair transplant around 6 months ago, decided on Dr Yaman due to some recent NW6 cases and in general some excellent work at a reasonable cost. After a few weeks of consultation back in November we agreed a date and a 2 day surgery. Just to note that pre surgery the customer care was excellent from the driver at the airport to the hotel. Felt really looked after and welcome. 1st day - first off was donor inspection and hairline drawing etc which was very detailed and Dr Yaman spends plenty of time without rushing to make sure you’re happy. I have had SMP done which you can see in the photos and the hairline is probably too low, Dr Yaman advised that a more reserved hairline would be best which I agreed with so will look at some removal in the future if it’s needed. Luckily, although I have fine hair I have a good donor with the majority of hair being multiples. We decided on a mature/natural hairline in order to achieve maximum density possible. After that the guys went ahead and did 3.5k grafts using donor from my left hand side and back of head. We finished around 9pm. 2nd day it was an earlier start, straight to it with another 2k grafts taken from from right hand side and then 900 from my beard. Cleaned and bandaged up with clear instructions for that evening and taken back to the hotel. 3rd and final day is tomorrow which is the first day hair wash at the clinic followed by my flight back to the UK. Just the final hurdle of getting around Istanbul airport. I’ve attached some pre op photos and post op. I’ll attach donor pics tomorrow. Overall, I’m super pleased. The works looks really clean and they have utilised the grafts well for the best coverage possible. Let me know what you think guys 👍 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks very clean work… it’s good that dr yaman spends quite a lot time for the pre consultation in order to organise the best plan for your case. The mature hairline was also good choice in order to save donor grafts for a possible future touch up. I think you are going to see a massive difference in 8 months from now 😃 so it was a 2 day procedure. The extraction was done with a manual punch ?

Travelling alone to a country you don’t know and putting your trust in other people is a massive thing so I must say thank you to this forum for providing all the info I needed to make an informed decision and fingers crossed I have! Even coming back through the airport I met quite a few guys who were unhappy with their transplants. One was told 4k grafts when clearly it was around half of this, it really is a minefield.

On my final day when I went for a head wash he inspected my head and unless he’s a fantastic actor, he was so made up with the work that he was shouting ‘the angles are perfect, the density, everything’! Tbf he filled me with confidence especially after 2 gruelling days! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I forgot to add the breakdown of grafts: 1330 singles 3170 doubles 1910 multiples Dr Yaman did mention I had a higher than average number of doubles & multiples. I’m hoping this works in my favour for density 🙏 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Dannyboy88 Posted February 13, 2023 Author Regular Member Share Posted February 13, 2023 Hey guys, Just thought I’d give an update and probably look for abit of reassurance! Heads still abit swollen as you can probably see but on the plus side I’m sleeping much better! On day 5 now. I’ve attached some photos of the front, mid and crown. Let me know your thoughts. Just bare in mind that the crown is a day behind in terms of recovery as was done a day later. Donor is recovering well considering over 5k grafts were taken.. will upload some photos tomorrow when the mrs is home so I can get some decent pics of it. Beards pretty much recovered. Also, ordered some fin & minoxidil as i figured I’m all and want to give myself the best chance, there’s no harm in trying! Trying to keep myself busy without looking every 5 minutes is a job in itself but it’s exciting none the less! Under bathroom light 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Dannyboy88 Posted February 13, 2023 Author Regular Member Share Posted February 13, 2023 Managed to get a pic of the donor and am pretty pleased with it considering the amount of grafts. Heads definitely still swollen looking at these! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
