Progress so far. Feeling positive about outcome. Difficult to tell level of growth to date in crown area but pleased with how temples are coming along.

Ive attached a couple of photos showing my shock loss and additional loss of hair following 3 months off minoxidil. I am now 2.5 months back into use of minoxidil and my hair density has much improved. The first picture was taken 6 weeks ago.

Update pics attached. Progress over last month hasn't been as strong as previous month but I seem to be around where I should be at this stage. Ive attempted to roughly count how many grafts have come through in the temple area and it looks to be around 25% of what was implanted. I know the next few months will define the overall success so hoping growth picks up and density improves. As it stands I have a new hairline which is great but it's very thin so needs more volume which hopefully will come over the coming months.

Be patient man, hope you will reach your desired hairline

6 month pics attached. Taken indoors under natural but dull light. Generally happy with crown which has filled in nicely and I can still feel plenty of small hairs coming through. Temple - one side has grown well and hair is thick already. Illusion is good but under bright light you can tell it's not very dense, that said I'm quite happy with that side. The other side is thin and no where near as good. Hoping that will improve over coming months.

So I'm 10 months in now. Optically still happy with the result. Wouldn't say there has been any noticeable growth since month 8 but I'd come along a fair way by that point anyway. Overall my hair has thinned out because I've not been able to apply minoxidil effectively when my hair has been longer. To get the thickness back I will need to cut my hair shorter again and start again. In terms of the transplanted areas, one side is definitely stronger than the other and one side still has a lot of wavy hairs growing from it. I'm hoping these will straighten out in time as hair becomes stronger. That said once it's styled it's not overly noticeable. Will update again at 12 months.

So I’ve reached my 1 year anniversary of my hair transplant with Dr Doganay. Overall I am exceptionally happy with the results.
I think the result is very natural looking and whilst not overly dense, this was to be expected given I only had 1.3k in front hairline and 1.3k to cover thinness at back. I found minoxidil strengthened overall result but suspect as hair has grown longer and it’s become harder to apply directly to scalp I’ve lost some of the thickness minoxidil gave. That said I’m still extremely happy with how my hair looks now. It’s been a life changing experience. My confidence has really improved. It’s been the best money I’ve ever spent. I may at some point go back for more surgery at some point and if I do I would have no hesitation to use Dr Doganay again. My results speak volumes for his abilities. If anyone would like to contact me to discuss my experience feel free.
