Impressive results, I'd happily wear my hair like that.... I am booked in at Maral Klinik mid-June. Long way to go from Australia but can't wait.

Happy xmas also,im there in 11 days.What hotel did you stay in and also any idea how much a meal costs and how much did you tip the driver?.Im on a budget lol
December 20, 2015
Good luck ! I stayed at the Rose hotel. It included breakfast so don't worry. You will also get a meal at the clinic. I tried to tip the driver but he wouldn't take any money from me :) He also bought me a packet of cigarettes and he refused taking the money. How old are you and what is your NW status?

Hi Eddie, I got my HT at Maral on 18/9. So exactly 3 months ago, ad so far everything is going perfectly. You ll go through some doubting , specially when you ll experience the so called shock loss, bu its normal.
Real results after 3 to 4months.
I do also a lot of sport and was worried about ppl noticing.
I was told I could start ( light ) sport after 5 days . ( I must admit I started on Day 3 lol - . jogging, pumps, crunches, light weight-liftings...) Goal is to try not to heavy sweat a lot the first 4-5 days.
After 1 week I was allowing to swim ( but not heavy diving lol), And Normal high level sport should you not do before 2 or 3 weeks normally ( I started ard. 10 days after but it depends I guess)

CAP: Be careful, no baseball cap before at least 5 or 7 days. After that , wear what ever you want, but try to find a cap that is not touching your hairline and transplanted area anyway. It ll increase your chance of keep as much as new transplanted hair through hair shock loss, as possible. During Hair Shock loss ppl loss between 60 to 100% of the newly HT . It s normal, what matters is the seed ( follicle) being correctly implanted. But by using a cap that will not touch that area, you ll increase your chance to be more on the side of 60% than 100% loss. With will help you on an aesthetic point of view . ;-))

Listen to what Dr Maral says about cutting the hair after OP. Very important. No clippers on transplanted area before at least 5 months, Clippers tends to extract a lot of follicles, and until 5 months the newly HT follicles are very fragile, Use either scissors or nothing on that area! Else where clippers are ok

Thanks
