had 4000 grafts (although not sure how accurate the number is) a few days before XMAS. I went with gethair and saw Dr Tayfun in Istanbul. Dr Tayfun actually only chats with you for 5 minutes prior to surgery for a quick exam , draws on your head and checks density for donor area thats it. The prodecure took around 4 hours with 3 ladies doing the extraction and transplant. Dr Tayfun arrives briefly to open the channels then thats his work done. The extraction and implantation is done by his female staff (so dont pay a huge amount of attention to the marketing that goes into how great and qualified Dr Tayfun us because apart from opening the channels he has no involvment in the procedure)
I am now approx 8 weeks post op
heres a few of my photos from before and up to the current day , you will see one with lots of blood from the donor area they got a bit over excited during extraction, I actually have a dent in my head still that can feel with my finger where the hole was. Apparently my protein intake was too high which led to bleeding (I wasnt instructed pre op not to take protein)
crusts all came off within 12 days, most of the shedding seems to have happened now too although still a little but of stubble left. Donor area regrew after 12-14 days too and my whole head was very itchy for 2 weeks after that. Once it was all healed I have started putting emu oil on daily to my scalp , it helps with the itchyness and hopefully will help with some regrowth. all eyes on 1 months time to see if it starts regrowing. Ive had a few issues with pimples and having to pop them, havnt seen a good answer if to leave or pop but it seems most of them are caused by stuck hair shafts that didnt come out properly
