37 Yrs Old Asian Male with NW IV Undergone 4500 FUE HT Procedure in Turkey - Transest - Istanbul, Turkey

Hi Everyone,

I like to take this opportunity to complete my final post and results on my FUE procedure that took place one year ago. I have to say that before I discovered this amazing procedure, I was at a loss and felt pretty down because going bald was incredibly traumatic and looking at yourself everyday in the mirror felt less and less desireable. I would add that I came to close to spending a fortune to do whatever was necessary to restore my youthful look again but luck would have it, I discovered Transest and crossing my fingers that this journey would be one of no regrets. February 28th was the one year anniversary mark on this journey of renewed esteem and self-confidence and I have to say that it was worth every penny to go over seas and not only to have the wonderful opportunity to learn a new culture and its customs but also to see how Turkey has become the medical mecca really for everything you want to change about your appearance and other procedures performed. Based on my results, I can only wish that the maximum density was truly achieved as I figured 4500 grafts would be more than needed to create that density and thickness. Around the front of the hairline, I can see what looks like puctures but no hair follicles growing out from it so I'm wondering if the grafts just didn't take or is it still dormant and waiting to sprout. At any rate, I still use thickening agents from time to time to give that impression of thickness under the light effect on weekend outings and social events. I want to thank the RealSelf community for the many support and reassuring comments that has helped me throughout this journey and to wish all those that undertake this procedure that you too will be satisfied with your outcome. I"m blessed that the results came out great given the alternative to accept MPB and what I would look like today had I not taken steps to change my fate. To all of you, good luck and God bless!

Happy holidays to everyone! I'm attaching my 10 month progress and I feel the results have been great and continuing to look forward to further growth. I'm anticipating that the hair will look thicker and fuller after the 1 year mark. I recently had lunch with a friend which I haven't seen for a while and he asked what I did with my hair. I was taken back by his question, wondering if there was something wrong with the procedure that was noticeable but to my surprise he said that I look great and I look so much younger with my new hairline and hair growth. I was ecstatic to finally have someone notice the results of a painstaking ordeal to get my hair back and my overall level of confidence and self assurance in order. This is the defining point for me to say that the journey was well worth it and I'm glad that Transest did a job well done.
