Hi I am now 9 days post opp, washing donor & recipent area as per instructions with lotion & special shampoo, to aid my healing I am taking extra care in my diet, eating half bag of spinach daily along with biotin & eating plenty of fruit & whole grains no white bread or pasta, started back exercising gently took my dog for 5k hill walk today energy is back, still slightly sore in donor area & I slept elevated for first 7 nights after transplant now sleeping normally I carried my pain killers & antihistamines with me incase I needed them but haven't needed them in last 4 days, just be careful first week with recipent area do not touch my instructions was to wash daily with lotion spray they provided & I used a sponge to pat the area clean very gently this helped remove dried blood,

Hi I always thought my forehead was too large for my small features inherited my dads forehead shape!
I did not want to do the forehead reduction surgery decided I would go to turkey for hair transplant as seen good reviews, I will keep posting my progress as months go,if you are doing hair transplant be prepared for the following, slight pain as they inject the anesticia into your scalp, they shave the donor area then start to put follicles to fill the decided area on forehead, my forehead was reduced from 7cms to 5cms & they added hair to sides to reduce width , there will be some bleeding & later that night my head was throbbing & in pain so arrange to have some pain medication with you, you won't sleep much first night as you need to sleep elevated to reduce swelling, I returned home the day after surgery & was so glad I did as day two I woke & had a lot of swelling around eyes!! I drank lots of water & took arnica next day it had gone down, it's is now day 5 post opp & I have been taking it easy as tired & slightly sore on donor area... I will post my progress over next 12 months just want to fast forward but with hair transplant patience is key!! I have no hair loss & good thick hair so I am hopefull of a good result

Welcome to the community, I am so excited to see your results and I look forward to your updates. How many grafts did you have?
Thank you Eva, I did not ask about grafts, once they had drawn in the new hairline i let them at it! 6 days post opp & I am back at work & wearing bangs to hide the area, still have dried blood in area but each day this is slowly clearing up, excited for future baby hair to appear
Can you please tell us where in Turkey you did your transplantation.
Did you have your procedure done at Mediprima esthetica istanbul ? What was the cost per graph? Would you recommend this clinic to others?
Yes I had my procedure there, all good so far, but it's only been 3 weeks so too early to tell about results, I paid €1700.i got in region of 2000 grafts.. Do your research & pick the right clinic for your needs.
Hi, i am interested to know if the procedure worked and if you're happy with it? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
The result looks really good and much cheaper than in the UK. Many thanks for your tips.
Can you please let me know if it is easy to hide
Many thanks for your reply
How long did the swelling last? What did you do for it to go away faster? thanks
