They take money transfers, cash or credit card. CC will have a fee.

Here you go. It's been exactly 8 months yesterday. Growth was quite minimal in the first 6 months and I was quite worried. The fact that I can't propecia was also a reason I didn't expect much growth as I'm still losing my native hair.

7th month started and growth kicked in. I have had some good growth in 7 month and some in 8th as well. As i mentioned below, that my expectations were a little low because of not being able to use Fin. Now the situation is that hair density is not that much. With the wet hair, you can still see the scalp and some blank areas but the good thing is transplanted hair are quite thick. So in dry conditions i have a good cosmetic change and looks OK. I still have around 2 months more of growth. So I hope I get more

I have added 6 pics here. The first 3 are with wet hair and the last 3 are with dry hair.

Hi falco,

I just wanted to say thank you so much and great apologies for not seeing this earlier.

I didn't get a notification for some reason.

I actually went with Dr. Kul in Istanbul for a couple of reasons that I will share in another post, but your coverage looks great.

I don't see how anyone could go wrong with Dr. Hakan.

Happy growing!

Ok so finally i had the surgery on 8th March. I decided to make a vacation out of the whole thing and came with the family to Antalya for 8-9 days. Hotels are dirt cheap during this season and i found a good hotel with breakfast and dinner buffet for less than 300 Euros for 7 nights which is like the cheapest vacation i have ever had.

So we arrived in Antalya on 7th March. At the airport, we found a lady with AHD clinic board. She welcomed us and took us to the hotel. At first i though she might be just for the pick and drop. But she is part of Dr Hakan's team and knows all medical details and the HT process. She knew everything about my case and told me if i need to ask anything i can ask her. It was a very nice touch to find someone who can immediately help you and calm you down a bit. I asked her some basic questions. And then she dropped me and my family at the hotel and told me to be ready 8:30 next morning. So we had our breakfast and went to sleep as we had spent 6 hours from (from 1 AM to 7 AM) on Istanbul Airport in Transit.

So next morning she was there on time. We went to hospital and met with doctor. Dr Hakan doesn't speak that much english but 2-3 of his staff member speak very well. As per the initial online consultation, i was suggested 3000 grafts but aftering consultation with Dr. Hakan, he decided that i still have some native hair so anything around 2300-2500 would be sufficient. He asked me about the hairline and i told him that i'm quite OK with my hairline. I don't expect to get the hairline of an 18 years old. I just need density. I also told him the fact that i had side effects with Propecia so i'm expecting all my native hair to fall in 4-5 or more/less years. So i asked him to do the procedure not by filling the gaps only. Because if that's the case, when i lose my native hair, the transplanted hair would be like patches on different areas and would look worse than being bald . He understood that and told me they will make the transplant as uniformly as they can.

So then came the shaving part. I had already asked them if it would be possible not to shave the precipitant area completely and keep hair in recipient area to around 1 or less than 1 cm without compromising the quality of transplant procedure. Dr was quite generous to offer me my request. So they didn't shave the recipient area completely kept it around 1 cm.

So they took some before pictures and then shaved my head and afterwards take some more pictures and then took me to the procedure room. And then did the procedure. I will update the procedure in next post. But here I'll post some pictures of day 1 post Op after the washing of hair.

Wow, I hadn't read this one. I also had my procedure with Dr. Hakan last September so I'm close to reach the seven month. For the past I've been worried because my growth has been very minimal, almost tempted to say, null.

But then seeing your post rise my spirit, I fell that in this last month I've some growth and in fact I've been able to comb my hair as I used to do it before. The coverage isn't quite the same but I think is better than before the procedure.

I must say my procedure wasn't big, only around 1500 units, but both temples were week so I wasn't able to comb my hair one side or the other. I've been reluctant to take photos to myself due to that minimal growth feeling but I'm hoping for the next months yet.
