Second FUE Transplant to Fix Receding Hairline Maral Clinic Istanbul, TR

It has been well over a year now since my second FUE apologies to the many people who have asked for updates over the past 6 months or so, I have been pretty busy with all sorts, and one thing for sure is that people are loving my hair! I have grown it out again so the curls are back with a vengeance, Hair Skin and Nails is incredible is all I can say. My hair has never looked this good, ever! Even when I was 18 my hairline wasn't as good as it is now, and although my hair isn't impossibly thick, it still has the appearance of a solid head of hair. I have taken a couple of photos to give you an idea, I've noticed my hair actually looks much thicker if I don't wash it as often which is interesting. If it is clean sometimes it doesn't look as full.
Anyway my program is, hair skin and nails every morning after breakfast for the past year now with an incredible result, I still have almost no hair coming out, when I brush it (once in a blue moon) quite a few hairs will come out but this is because my hair is curly so the hairs just stay in there when they die.
I haven't used a derma roller much in recent months but will every now and then. I am wanting to do PRP treatment soon just to keep things healthy up there, I think it will help with general hair health.

Hi everyone, apologies for the huge gap in progress reports, i have noticed on a few profiles that when updates dont come, sometimes that can be very good news, it means the person has a proper afro going on up top. Im very happy to say, that is the case with me also. It has been 6 months since my second FUE procedure, the first at GetFue in Antalya Turkey and the second at Maral clinic in Istanbul Turkey. Both have given me results, the first not as much as i would have hoped and in hindsight that could have been my fault as I didnt take enough precautions as i should have in the following weeks post procedure, the second how ever has really taken shape and given me my hairline back.
I believe it was Danny1324 another user of realself that suggested Biotin as a good suppliment to take for hair health. I had never actually heard of it before reading it on his profile, but i am sure glad i know about it now. I started taking Biotin 2000micrograms a day in October of last year and by Christmas 2016 my hair took off! It grew like no tomorrow, probably two times faster than usual and it was thicker and had more volume. That is all very well and nice having your hair grow faster but the REAL big deal is the fact that my hair has stopped falling out?! Yes you read it right, I dont know if it is a bizzare coincidence or what it is, but since taking it, my hair has stopped falling out all together. I get the odd hair when brushing after a day or 2 but nothing like before.
Now, before you rush out the door tripping over your untied shoe laces to go get yourself some Biotin from any average pharmacy, I need to add that I had a dramatic lifestyle change at the same time as taking biotin, i changed my diet to low dairy and almost no sugar, including fruit for several months and also did Yoga almost every day of the week, those two things combined im sure help in a huge way. Another thing that i think really helps is a Dermaroller, if you have never heard of a dermaroller check it out online, you can buy them for a few dollars on Fishpond or other websites. I roll that on my scalp about once every week cleaning it in alcohol before and after each use, i dont use rogaine or any such products and I still believe it works well, bringing blood flow to the surface of your scalp. I use a 1.5mm roller which is said to be a bit long to use for hair loss, how ever it seems to be working well. To to recap,
Biotin 2000micrograms once a day
Derma roller once a week rolled over my scalp particularly front part
Heaps of yoga
Healthy diet

Although I havent been doing updates online I have been taking some photos along the way and I will update them now. I will try to get some high quality ones also at some stage soon.
All the best on your hair restoration journey :)

I know its been a bit over a month since my first post but I took plenty of photos in that first month and I want to share them with you. This time I took the utmost care with my grafts post procedure. Reading up online all the different post care techniques I kinda made my own routine up. After the surgery I was spraying miniral water on my transplanted area and donor area every 20-30min even when at night. I kept that up for about 3 days. I did this because I think wounds heal up better when they are kept moist. I also stayed in bed most of the day keeping my head elevated above my heart (in bed for 5 days?? All I can say is thank the Lord for Netflix) I didnt want to take any chances this time with the grafts as I wanted a solid result unlike my previous HT. I left Turkey 6 days after the surgery feeling much better, the small amount of swelling I had on my face had gone, and the donor and transplant area felt good. Ah yes, i applied Lucas pawpaw cream to the donor area 2 times a day for the first week and watched the scabs almost disapear in that short time.

The scabs in the transplanted area took about 10 days to disapear, and when they did I was very pleased with how thick it looked in that area. The hairs quickly fell out as was expected I think it took about 1 month for them all to disapear and only the hair from my previous transplant remained. It was all pretty red up top for the first month, i continued to put moisturiser on every day to help the skin heal. I started exercising after 2 weeks, i know that is early by most doctors standards but i needed it and my head felt 100% at this stage.
I have added a bunch of photos with a flash and some without so you can see how it looks up close. I always want to see up close photos on the real self when it comes to transplants so I decided i would do my best to take some.
