DHI circa 2300 grafts to increase density after first transplant

I visited Cosmeticium (known also as Medaway) for my second hair transplant to increase density via DHI after my first transplant in Istanbul with Maral Hair klinik in early 2017.

I chose DHI as the team do not need to shave your whole head (only the donor area) and DHI is much less traumatic on the scalp as there is no need to open channels (holes) in your scalp prior to placing the grafts of hair. Instead a CHOI pen is used to implant the graft and is much better aesthetically after the operation and I believe will result in a faster recovery with less shock loss of surrounding hairs.

The team were very professional and the doctor implanted the majority of the grafts, unlike FUE where this is all done by technicians.

I had 2100 grafts extracted from the donor areas at the side of my head and circa 200 from my beard under my chin.

We kept my current hairline and filled in the gaps aswell as the mid scalp and crown.

Immediately post op the team gave me PRP injections to help stimulate growth.

I will update when I start to see results.

Bandages removed day 1 post op and it was painless.

First mild wash with foam and recovery shampoo. Rinsed with low pressure mild temp water and allowing to dry naturally. I'm very happy with recovery so far and it felt great to wash my hair as it contained a lot of dry blood at the sides.

One week post op and all healing perfect. The scabs are all starting to drop off and it's not as noticeable. Happy so far and looking forward to new growth on the top and getting a haircut in a few weeks.
