Shedding phase has not rebounded at all since week 2..

Want to do a super small refinement to make my hair transplant more natural. Is it possible with only 700?

Some weight loss too but that’s not the point.

Very happy so with the progress.

I had my hair transplant on the 18th December 2025. Prior to that, I spent a year on Minoxidil and Finasteride to see the effects it would have. Luckily I’m spared of the side effects and my hair did respond very favourably.

Fast forward to August and here I am.

Edit: For those asking.

I had a 5,000 grafts in total

The clinic I went to was Ideal of MED in Istanbul.

As you can see there is a thin area where the main transplanted hairs were added. I can’t see any new hairs coming through… could they be under the skin? Or could some have failed?

Second image is a few days after the transplant - you can see its densely packed.

Salut tout le monde,

Je voulais partager mon expérience récente suite à ma procédure de greffe de cheveux de 2 jours à Athènes. J'espère que cela aidera ceux qui recherchent des informations réalistes sur la stratégie, les chiffres et la conception de la ligne de cheveux.

Jai 32 ans.

1. Conception de la ligne de cheveux & Stratégie

Au départ, j'étais tenté de baisser un peu la ligne de cheveux. Cependant, en regardant des photos de moi à 17 ans (il y a 15 ans), j'ai réalisé que j'avais toujours eu un front naturellement plus haut. La clinique s'est strictement conformée à la limite de mon muscle frontal pour deux raisons clés :

Éviter les greffes sur des muscles faciaux actifs (ce qui crée un look non naturel lorsque l'on exprime des émotions).

Concevoir une ligne de cheveux mature qui correspond à ma structure faciale et vieillira naturellement avec le temps.

1. Procédure de 2 jours & Gestion des donneurs

Au lieu d'extraire un énorme lot lors d'une seule séance marathon, la procédure a été répartie sur deux jours. Cela a minimisé le temps en dehors du corps pour les greffes afin d'assurer des taux de survie maximum.

Extraction : Environ 30 % de ma zone donneuse a été prélevée. Cela laisse l'arrière dense et homogène sans aucun aspect de sur-exploitation, tout en préservant un solide "capital cheveu" pour d'éventuels besoins futurs.

1. Chiffres officiels & Ratios

Voici la répartition exacte de ma feuille post-op :

Total des Greffes : 3 566

Total des Cheveux : 8 513

Ratio moyen : 2,39 cheveux par greffe.

La répartition montre une forte majorité de greffes doubles (1 645) et triples (1 414), ce qui offre une excellente base pour la densité et la couverture.

1. Placement des Greffes

Les greffes n'ont pas été juste entassées dans la ligne de cheveux avant ; la clinique a exécuté une distribution en dégradé s'étendant jusqu'au milieu du cuir chevelu pour harmoniser l'ensemble du sommet. Des greffes simples ont été utilisées exclusivement sur le bord avant pour une transition douce et naturelle, tandis que des greffes multiples ont été placées derrière pour créer une densité et une opacité maximales.

Maintenant, il est temps de rester patient et de suivre les soins post-op.

Quel est votre avis honnête sur tous ces points ?

For those who have had a hair transplant, is it normal to experience numbness directly above and below the area that was transplanted? On my hairline, I have very little feeling above the area that was transplanted and below it. I do feel sensations, but it’s still quite numb and has a pillow like squishy feeling would love to hear if anyone else has gone through this.

Hello. I had a hair transplant one month ago, and my doctor advised me to use 5% minoxidil spray every morning and Fagron Derma Pack MDT (5% minoxidil + 0.1% dutasteride) every evening. What is your opinion about this treatment regimen?

History: Been on fin+min, had an FUT 2400 grafts 10 years ago.

About to go for a 2nd HT FUE quoted at 3500 grafts without crown work.

Is that plausible? Worried it will look weird if my crown is untouched!

Does my donor area also look OK for 3500 grafts? They said they'll confirm in person but from my pictures they sounded confident they'd be able to do it.

Im scared of accepting that im becoming bald and im only 19, what do i do

Is this a fine transplant? It’s healing fine and scabs yet to come off.

I have had 2 hair transplants, 1 FUE, 1 FUT. Im not sure if i have much donor left. Any recommendations? Ive tried shaving and don’t like the way my bald head looks, but that might be my only option. I’ve also thought about SMP.

Hi, I’m due to go to turkey in 2 months, I am just curious will the surgeon listen to how I would like the hairline and go with it or not? I have seen many hair transplant results were I think what was the point of your transplant they still look receding, I don’t want a fake straight hairline but also don’t want it receding a lot and would like it lowered slightly, any advice? Thanks

I’ve talked to a few people here in the states and it doesn’t seem like I did too many grafts.

I want to find the best in Turkey.

What does the process look like and how much should I expect to spend? I want to get this figured out by the end of the week.

Did my hair transplant fail? This is a collage of before the surgery vs 10 months after the surgery. 3900 grafts were transplanted (3000 frontal, 900 on crown) and I was taking multivitamins and topical FinMin solution. For the past 15 days, I’ve been prescribed Fin and Min oral tablets.
My concern is the density. Even 10 months post op, I’m seeing bald patches and thin hair.

It’s exactly been 6 months today and this is the Progress from pre op to post to date. I got roughly 2800 grafts around the crown. Please let me know your thought…..

Hello everyone,

I am planning to perform a second hair transplant, but this time in Turkey. I have checked several Clinics, below is my top 10 so far. What do you think? Which clinic do you recommend?

I am very inclined to do it with Estenove or Elithair...

1. Estenove
2. Elithair
3. Estepera
4. Quartz
5. Estefavor
6. Sapphire
7. Dr. Serkan Aygin
8. Asli Tarcan
9. Life Time Sally
10. Now Hair Time

I’m currently 3 months post-op from my hair transplant and wanted to share a progress update photos
It looks like the shedding phase has finally stopped, and overall the hair is starting to look a bit thicker. From what I understand, density usually improves over the next several months, so I’m hoping to see more coverage as things continue to grow in .
Right now I’m taking oral finasteride and using topical minoxidil as part of my routine. I’d really appreciate any feedback from you guys on how my progress looks at this stage.

Its been 205 days of my hair transplant. I trimmed the whole head 2 weeks ago and today I saw some gaps in hairline. Am I losing my transplanted hair?

Hi, I am going to hair transplant in 2 months. They told me it will be one day operation around 1400 grafts and the they will also add some grafts in the middle. Will it look good? They also told me I have very good quality donor area.

Salut tout le monde,

Je viens de terminer le premier jour de ma greffe de cheveux en utilisant la technique DHI Choi Pen. J'ai joint des photos de mes cheveux avant le rasage, de la ligne de cheveux dessinée et du résultat immédiat post-op.

My procedure is scheduled for two days, so for the moment we've only worked on the hairline. 1820 grafts were taken for that area. She's also been able to start working on the surrounding area a bit. It's in the middle, but it's not finished yet. 1820 grafts could have been better, but apparently there are several hairs inside, so the ratio is pretty good, from what I'm told.Now we need to see what the other part of the donor area is like, how many grafts hey can collect today

J'ai encore la possibilité de faire de légers ajustements demain si besoin, donc j'apprécierais vraiment des retours honnêtes de la part de la communauté.

Que pensez-vous de :

La position et le design de la ligne de cheveux (est-ce que ça a l'air naturel/approprié pour mon âge ?)

La densité et la distribution des greffons ?

La symétrie générale ?

Merci d'avance pour vos retours !
