5020 grafts FUE - Dr Koray Erdogan - Asmed - 3/4 Oct. 2018

[Templesrunner]

By the way I can't see any doubles in your hairline. I think once the density will improve in the hairline, the contrast will look better.

because you have light skin and dark hair it looks a bit pluggy. the transplanted hair grows at first with a different texture, later it becames more smooth and manageable. in the meantime maybe you can try to get a tan (spray or lotion) it will make the contrast less obvious.

I think you will have a good result at the end.

Hy Farsan, I think that all this good result photos and videos from clinics are from persons that are loosing density and were not complete bald around hairline. Also they cut them short so we can believe that they have less native hair than we do, and it is usually opposite. You also have some native hair in the middle hairline and that help you a lot with density. Joe Tillman I like but he have several HT-s. I think if they put us only single hair forward in few rows deep (as he said) in one session how they will than get density for persons without any hair in that area ? Especially if person want to lower the hairline what means more vertical angle of the had and more visible trough. Even young guys with dense hair and lot of graft transplanted like that Planet Stephen need to do second procedure. Anyhow for mans over 35 see trough hair is natural for most guys out there. ;-) Your donor looks great so if you need more density you can go for 2nd. I think you look a lot better than before.

It's not that bad. it looks pretty good. anyway the hair will look better and better in time.

I agree it's not the worst. Infact if you look at it without clicking on the photos it looks great and natural. But ofcourse when analysed properly its pluggy and sparse, yes it will get better but not a great deal better, pluggy is pluggy doubles are doubles they don't all of a sudden turn into singles but I'll wait till 12 months no doubt. Thanks for the support.

6 months post-op hairline Update - Asmed - Dr Koray Erdogan

Below are photos at 6 months. For this update I'm focusing on the hairline work only. So I'm going to be to the point - growth is on course but naturalness is lacking. I have to use a strong bristle brush to even the left half of the hairline to make it look smooth. Yes my hair and scalp contrast is high which makes the problem look worse than it is. There is a real pluggy look to it which I'm not happy about. Certain angles make it less and more obvious. You need to zoom in on the pictures because from far away it can give the impression of being fine.

This will no doubt improve and get fuller over the next 3 to 4 months but I just want to get to 12 months and make a decision about getting the front looking more natural and a smoother transition. The next time I will certainly look at one of Joe Tillman's docs they seem to be a class apart from everyone else. This is not a botch job but the naturalness of hair lines is where you can truly judge how good a clinic is. To the average Joe they wouldn't notice anything, but to us students of hair loss and hair restoration we can notice what is natural or not certainly when it comes to hair lines.

Anyway at least it's not a Kyle Christie hairline so there is hope yet.

hey, can you post 5.5 months pic for the front aswell?

Quick 5.5 postop update

Just a quick update on the crown area. I'm 5.5 months post OP now. Certainly feels more hairier when I put my fingers through the crown. Crown was my biggest problem so hoping for more improvements over the next 3 months which In terms of new hairs popping is a very crucial period coming up. Will post a full update in a few weeks.

Hi FSK,

Just wondered how you are progressing with your transplant, I think the last post was at 4.5 months - have you seen any improvements from that point?

Good luck going forward.

Hi guys , great information, thanks for sharing. Would you mind me asking how much was the cost . . And why you decided to go with Dr Erdogan over the other clinics? I’m trying to make a decision at moment which clinic to go with and nervous about making right decision so any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks

[farsanUK]

Hey FSK thanks for the update,

Hairline is definitely looking stronger already man, you must be excited about what the coming months will bring! I would of thought the spikey feeling was just sprouting too but I'm not a doctor. Do you stay in contact with Erdogan?

I'm just about to hit 11 weeks post op so hoping to start seeing some growth soon too.

Happy growing

Well I would have been excited if that other doc said that's not a good sign. Not sure how it makes any sense (hasnt seen my photo).Slightly concerned about the crown as I had 2100 grafts which should make a night and day difference in the end. Ive heard the crown takes time for growth to occur. As far as Dr Erdogan, from all the patient reviews and my own experience so far- post surgery you will never be in direct contact with him unless something seriously bad happened. It's the patient coordinator that does all the communication. They don't themselves contact you unless you ask them something (Whatsapp) and are fairly quick to respond.

4.5 months post-op Update - Asmed - Dr Koray Erdogan

4.5 month post op update - Asmed- Dr Koray Erdogan*

hey guys it's been a little while this is my 4.5 months Post op update. Bare in mind that I had a lot of native hair as well so might be an idea to check out my pre op photos at the start of the thread.

Hair line is way ahead of the crown at this stage. In fact alot of the hairs in the very extreme of the hairline did not shed. There is no sign at this stage of any multi hair grafts at the very front so happy about that.I'm feeling small sharp or spikey *hairs on the crown although I can't physically see them at this point. I spoke to another doctor*last night about this feeling of spikey sharp hairs and he said that's not a good sign (very surprised as I thought that is sprouting) and that I should tweeze transplanted hairs out that are not growing otherwise I'll get pimples. Don't understand that at all.

It's only 4.5 months. In normal room light it looks good but then under light it looks very see through and actually the other doctor*said it*shouldn't be see through at this many months which again I think doesn't seem like an accurate assessment. By the way this other doctor*was not my doctor. Let me know what you guys think if spex, JT, or any other iahrs doc on here has an opinion of it I'd love to for you to comment too.

I questioned asmed about this and they said it looks fine and I should not ask people who had nothing to do with the surgery.

2.5 months (11 weeks) Post-op Update - Asmed

So it's been 2.5 months since my surgery at Asmed with Dr. Koray Erdogan. Below are my photos I took today. Still have not had a hair cut will be doing it tomorrow but only the sides - maybe No.2 and leave the front and top. All the redness has gone (many weeks ago) and i stopped shedding a month ago. The crown shed quite a lot post op but i managed to not shed as much in the front although still shed a fair amount. From reading other guys' threads the 3 month mark is where most people tend to start to see very early stages of sprouting and black dots appearing. I have a few black dots on the crown and a fair bit more in the hair line. Can already see a rough faded lining of the new hair line all be it just a few dots. This is the hardest stage because nothing much happens after you have finished shedding and start seeing sprouting. Apart from the very front my hair is basically back to where it was pre-op which is normal. It is now just a waiting game. Usually between month 3 and 4 is where I've seen people start to sprout so fingers crossed. The donor area has really grown out a lot and feels very thick and healthy so going forwards I should have a good number of grafts remaining. I don't think ill post anymore updates till the hair really starts sprouting so maybe in a month.
