Regular Member danny007 Posted December 1, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted December 1, 2023 (edited) Hi, I want to document my progress of my most recent hair transplant with Dr Yaman. Quick Back Story: I'm 28, Male and I've got bad hair loss. I've been trying to hide my miniturisation (using hair fibres) since I was 21 (that's when a little hair loss started). Due to what stage I am at now it's getting more difficult. Anyway, I looked around for many clinics and my criteria was clinics who are known to deal with high norwood cases and who also are within my means. I eventually narrowed it down to Dr Yaman. I whatsapped the number with my pics on the website. I received a message from Doga. He intially said that Dr Yaman says 6000 grafts for full coverage BUT... Dr Yaman says 4000 grafts first and then come back after a year to do the rest. I suggested if it was possible to do full coverage 6000 grafts over 2 days instead. Doga asked Dr. Yaman and He said it is possible. During my time in the clinic both doctor Yaman and Doga checked up on me through out my 2 days surgery. Doga is an amazing person and really gave me alot of time to ensure I had a good experience. In terms of Dr Yaman involvement in the surgery. He does the crucial stages such as hair line planning, Graft extractions and opening channels (new holes). The techs do the rest of the long work. I got 6,400 grafts in total. I arrived in Turkey (28th Nov 2023) 1st surgery (29th Nov): 3000 grafts 2nd surgery (30th Nov) 3400 grafts (800 from my beard). Please see my pics before surgery.

Regular Member Divinehair Posted December 1, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted December 1, 2023 Happy growing. Looks like a really good and clean work. I think you did the right choice by selecting Dr Yaman for your hair trasnplant as he is a great surgeon. So it was a 2 day session ? Did they use manual punch to extract the grafts? Also can you tell the cost of your hair trasnplant ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In terms of extractions. I'm not sure. The surgeries were that long I honestly don't remember but I think it may not have been manual. Or maybe it was manual in some parts. I'm not sure.

Looking forward to seeing more pics especially of the donor. Thanks for sharing. Did Dr Yaman say anything about needing future procedures to get full coverage? I'm curious as to get full coverage with just over 6000 grafts would be impressive. Or did he say the crown will remain a bit thin or something?

rr2005 Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 Hi @danny007 - do you have any more updates to share please? Im curious how so many grafts were extracted from your donor area as it doesn't look that dense. Maybe Dr Yaman has a similar technique to Pitella, Eugenix etc where they are able to extract more grafts than most clinics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member danny007 Posted December 5, 2023 Author Regular Member Share Posted December 5, 2023 (edited) Hi, The first day the right side of my head was extracted for 3k grafts. Then the next day the left side was extracted for like 2.6K + 800 from beard. Total = 6400. I have also posted the graft break down e.g singles and doubles on a previous post. Dr. Yaman said my Donor area was decent. You can see from my pics that my whole head is covered. I will post updated pics on the 10th/11th day mark when I remove scabs... stay tuned.

Regular Member Jayhair Posted December 5, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted December 5, 2023 (edited) Alot of grafts in 1 go, how was your sleep. Did they give you any hat to wear to cover up, asking as i plan to stay in city for few days after surgeon and did you wear anything on the plane back? Understand 1st 3 days after surgery the grafts are the most vulnerable so don't want to take any chances doing too much movements Edited December 5, 2023 by Jayhair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will see a big difference with that hair transplant but keep in mind that your area is huge and you need as much grafts as possible , so you will need another one procedure for better coverage.

rr2005 Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 Hi @danny007 - any updates please? It would be good to see your donor pics and how it looks now after 10 days or so. Also did Dr Yaman mention anything about needing a 3rd session like @BaldGuy suggested? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member danny007 Posted December 12, 2023 Author Regular Member Share Posted December 12, 2023 Hello people, Thanks for being patient. Here is my update Day 12. These pictures have been taken in the most harshest light. I have managed to remove 95% of scabs and honest to good it was super difficult. They wouldn't come out. I rubbed them really hard on some occasion to get them out. The Yaman implanter did a good job placing the grafts deep haha. It's crazy to not wear fibers or caps no more. My bald scalp isn't visible anymore.... crazy! Your honest feedback would be appreciated. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
