QUESTIONS ANSWERED

Hello, Thank you for your question and uploading photos. 

Based on your photos, you have large shaded area and very limited donor area, which means your donor are will not let the surgeon extract the amount of grafts to cover at least 2/3 of the shaded area by FUE method. 

You could have combined surgery, which is FUT+FUE, however that might not be your best choice, since you are concerned about the scars.

Hello, Thank you for your question. 

By 18 month post-op, it is unlikely to have the transplanted follicles get damaged by PRP treatment. 

PRP is being injected with very fine (thin) needle, so it should not cause any damaging or scarring.

Hello, Thank you for your question. 

To have the hair transplant surgery with 4000 grafts you will need to pick the right place, experienced surgeon with experienced team. You should also keep in your mind that this is big amount and you already had surgery before, there might be possibility that with only FUE your donor area might be over-harvested. 
I suggest you have physical/ online consultation with experts, and check all the options. 

I have operated patients with over 4000 grafts in one single day, and had patients who were suitable for Combined Surgeries only, the combination of FUT & FUE together.

Hello, thank you for your question. 
Once you archive the final results, and all the transplanted hair has been grown, they will be just like your natural hair, even if you pull the out, they will regrow back, unless you pull out the graft, which will wont be possible.

Hello, Thank you for your question and uploading photos. 
Based on the photos, you are very good candidate for hair transplant procedure. 

As your main concern is to create new hairline and not to have M shape.

With 2400-2600 grafts you will be very satisfied and will obtain very natural looking results.

Hello, Thank you for your question. 

Once the grafts are placed, they will not come off or wont be damaged, unless you have some physical contact which might cause damaging. 

I highly advice to all my patients 2 weeks off the physical contacts of the surgical area, the head can be touched only during the washing procedure, and should be very gentle.

Hello, Thank you for your question and uploading photos. 

Based on the photos, you don't have redness, it is just pinkish color which is normal, and it takes a couple of months to disappear. 

Most of the patients have a shedding process, but sometimes, the newly transplanted hair continues growing without shedding.

Try to reach out your surgeon and get his opinion as well.

I Had an Overall Good Experience

The experience was good but there was missing very important information: 1. The doctor doesn’t perform the operation himself, his team does, they are very professional but they should mention it before closing a deal 2. You need to choose which areas to focus, this should happen way before the process so we will have time to think, doing it with the doctor on spot was a bit pressured in time. 3. Two patients arrive early in the morning and one at noon, if you arrive with a friend ask to come together 4. The clinic is in the Turkish part of Cypress, they don’t mention it, all of the employees are turkish and very nice.

Everything was clear

Very good transplant experience. The team seems to be very professional and took care of everything. Even when my flight got earlier, the nurse came to my hotel for cleaning instead of going to the clinic. Everything was clear even the aftercare. 1 day after and not feeling any pain. Hope for best results

Great Experience with Dr. Ilker and Team

Dr Ilker and team were very professional, informative, and perhaps most importantly very emphatic throughout the operation day and post-op. This is only one day after, so can't speak much of results yet, but looking forward to seeing the change. The procedure was almost painless and felt I'm in good, competent hands throughout.
