    6 Weeks Post-Op Update
    Hey guys it's been 6 weeks since my visit to Asmed ( Dr Erdogan ) so check out the photos below. I've shed about 95% of the transplanted hairs and I am into that ugly ducking stage. I am really happy with how the donor area is healing - in the photo it is probably the equivalent of a number 4 at the back. I am also using 99% Pure Aloe Vera gel for the donor area. Occasionally it gets really itchy on the crown so I use the Zertek drug the clinic gave me and massage a tiny bit of Aloe Vera onto the itchy area. There has not been any pain for weeks and very little redness. It's far too early to say weather it will be a natural well angled hairline but cannot stop looking at every small detail, I know this is normal and no matter how much you know before hand once you get that transplant you just cant help it!

    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.

    Default 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.

    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.

    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

    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.

    Default 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.
