Regular Member pahey345 Posted March 2, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted March 2, 2023 I finally had my surgery on 3/1, which occurred yesterday and I had my first wash today at the hospital. What does everyone think of the initial result? I’ll be adding more photos as this progresses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member pahey345 Posted March 2, 2023 Author Regular Member Share Posted March 2, 2023 I should have taken some pre op photos once they shaved my head. I suppose I can ask for them since they took many of me. Here are some from a month ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Belve Posted March 2, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted March 2, 2023 Happy growing. Dr turan is an excellent surgeon in Turkey. The design looks perfect. I wish you the best.

Regular Member pahey345 Posted March 2, 2023 Author Regular Member Share Posted March 2, 2023 Thank you! I’m looking forward to 6+ months in the future. The total cost was 3,250 euros. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member BaldGuy Posted March 3, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted March 3, 2023 Good luck. Dr Turan produces consistent good results, so I'm sure you are going to be happy with your final result. Do you have the surgery report from the clinic?

Regular Member pahey345 Posted March 3, 2023 Author Regular Member Share Posted March 3, 2023 Thank you. I saw the report yesterday when they took my bandages off and gave me my first wash. They are sending me a digital copy of my surgical report later today and I can share more specific details then. After reviewing the report in the office, they said that they took 17% of my total donor area for the operation of 2,551 grafts. They said I had a very high density of 3s, 4s, 5s and 6s, many of which they left in tact. They explained that I will have plenty of donor left should I ever need surgery again in the future. I’m currently taking finasteride since September 22 and oral minoxidil for the past month (taking 1 week off now due to Dr. order) and expect some nice growth in the future. I’ve attached some day 2 photos. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Turan does 2 patients per day and he’s grooming his replacement Dr. as she was present for much of the procedure. Dr. Turan is probably going to retire in the next 1+ year so I’d highly suggest anyway wanting a surgery from him to get on the schedule asap.

Regular Member pahey345 Posted March 6, 2023 Author Regular Member Share Posted March 6, 2023 Here’s a day 5 check in- tremendous itching the past few days as to be expected. I think I am healing at an average to good rate thus far. I’m really hoping the scabs/ crusts start coming off before day 10 fingers crossed. I’m still waiting on my surgery report so I can post that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member pahey345 Posted March 9, 2023 Author Regular Member Share Posted March 9, 2023 Day 8 since surgery. Some scabs came off today with gentle massaging. There’s an open patch where I’m hoping no grafts came out. I didn’t see any in the scabs, but it still looks a bit unpopulated with grafts, although I can see some hairs present. I’m sure I’m just overreacting like so many of us do after a procedure. I’ve attached photos of the area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member pahey345 Posted March 11, 2023 Author Regular Member Share Posted March 11, 2023 Day 10 update- cleared off a lot of scabs today. Feeling much better. I’ve attached progress photos. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member pahey345 Posted June 1, 2023 Author Regular Member Share Posted June 1, 2023 I’ve just hit the 3 month mark! Time certainly does fly Attached are some photos of my current state/ my surgical report. My ugly duckling phase was brutal up until a few weeks ago and I’m starting to turn the corner out of it. I think the next couple of months should be good 🤞 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miner Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 Clean work and nice hairline design. Did you consider going to Gur? I think overall Turan's work in underappreciated here vs Gur's but they are both great doctors at the same price. This one is looking to be one of the best of Turan's.

Regular Member pahey345 Posted June 12, 2023 Author Regular Member Share Posted June 12, 2023 I did consider Dr. Gur as well. Thanks and I’m super happy with the results thus far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am booked in for January and asked them about whether Dr Turan is due to retire. They said absolutely not. Can I ask what led you to believe he was due to retire?
