Regular Member brandacus Posted August 13, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted August 13, 2023 Hello, I am flying from the US to Turkey today to see Dr Turan, and I've been growing my hair out lately for the first time in a very long time. I usually get my hair cut with a 0 or 1 on the sides/back, and I haven't had a hair cut in months. I noticed that my sides (specifically the left) are thin. I believe the right side is standard MPB, but the left is concerning. The back seems very thick and healthy, but the left side is rough. I honestly didn't realize this before, and I'm afraid I'll fly all the way out to Istanbul and told I can't do the procedure. I reached out to the clinic yesterday about this but haven't heard back. Is anyone able to maybe calm my nerves? I know I know I should have been more thorough before setting up the appointment, but here I am now. I guess if I can't go through with the procedure, I'll get to explore Istanbul for a few days... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member TheDarkHour Posted August 13, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted August 13, 2023 I have that on both sides of my hair, though not as severe and Dr.Keser accepted me. If I were you I'd look into transplants by Dr.Turan and see if he has worked on people with a similar condition to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately it's tough to find examples of people with my condition. I have an odd mix of thick and thin hair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here it is with a fresh cut a few months ago. These are the same pics I sent to the clinic for evaluation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
