Month and a half update

Just got out of the shower and dried up the head and wanted to post an update. The pictures are done under direct bright light so it looks a little better then what it is. The hair that did grow back which I believe is the hair I had before seems a bit stronger/thicker. Hoping its due to the PRP injections I had when I had the procedure done. Not really sure if new hair has started growing in. I did have to go to the barber 3 times so far since I keep my hair short on the sides because the top is taking much longer to grow back in, so getting a trim on the sides looks a bit better. Not sure what else to let you know but ask any questions you might have.

That's a 2 week great progress there. Did they put on medication other than the antiboitics and prp therapy?
February 12, 2016
No other meds besides antibiotics which to be honest i didnt like taking much as they made me feel a bit weak and shaky not sure why and the prp therapy. Just keep on mind that I wasnt fully bold (see first few pictures) but have thinning hair, so not really sure if this is a good 2 week progress or not.

Yes indeed ! I would love to see pictures and get an update. Look forward to you sharing

Yes, but that was completely in a different city. When I went, there was actually an incident a few days prior, but when I was there, you wouldnt have noticed anything trust me.

Thanks ! I don't want to instill fear in myself but will defintely be vigilant just like i'm in any big city... FYI...I meant "happy" and not "that". But I see you read my response correctly even with the typo!!

10 day progress

Hey everyone, here is my 10 day progress update. A lot of the redness has gone away but not fully yet. A lot of the dried up skin has fallen out and I've had minimal shock loss so far if any. To be honest, I can't tell the difference between the implanted hair and my existing one as I've never had my hair this short. I haven't had any ingrown hair/pimple problems yet, still felt small pain on the sides of my donor area as it's still a bit sensative to touching but that has drastically reduced in the recent days and I am almost able to sleep without any pain finally. Started shampooing my hair a few days ago, being extremely careful with it and been wearing a sports cap when going outside with any issues, and been applying the h20 anti bacterial spray on my donor area only to reduce the redness but I am not really sure if it really helps, could of done without it. So to recap this, I am not really sure of my progress so far as obviously it's only been 10 days, keep in mind that I have light and thinning hair, so hopefully you will have better results. I am just glad that I don't have any skin irritation or rashes around my head as things are settling now. Saw some comments about prp if it helps or not, not sure if you need it but it didn't hurt to get it.

thank u for the update. im in my 4th day, and cant wait to get to the 10th :). yes prp might be helpful who knows but i didnt want to spend 250 euro on it just because i havent read anything with scientific evidence.

I'm glad your recovery is going well. My procedure is booked for March 18. I may only have two half-days for sightseeing, so can I ask what main attractions you saw, and did you hire a tour or just go as you please? I understand that some things close early. Any tips for what to see and when? Are any major sights open past 5:30? Thanks!
February 8, 2016
To be honest, I didnt have much time for sightseeing as my procedure was on Friday, and Saturday I had to go back to the clinic at 11am to have my head looked and to clean up and my flight back was Sunday morning. But I did choose to stay in best part of the town which was named "Sultanahmet" and went sight seeing around there and went to the grand bazaar. I really do suggest to book a tour, probably on expedia or something as there will be certainly many places to visit and you'll need a guide and also you wont have to bargain with them for prices, as obviously as any place they will realize that you're a tourist and do spike up prices so you wouldnt have to haggle with them about pricing if you pre-book. Also, be ready to be constantly asked to come into their restaurants as you walk by or buy something.

One more question.. you were able to harvest 4,300 grafts with thin hair, which is just awesome. I know they typically harvest from the 'safe zone' but I'm curious how far outside this zone they had to venture to gather that many grafts. Did they harvest from the sides of the head? Thanks!
February 9, 2016
That's what I was worried about that maybe even the donor enough wouldnt be good enough, but they looked at it and they determined it was fine and it would work. They were able to extract just like with fine hair and the they extracted it like everyone else with different hair types. If you take a look on this last update you will see one of the side pictures that you can still see the redness on the side above the ear so you can see how far they went.
