wow! huge difference. you must be thrilled. another 10 months potential growth too to come
One of the most wonderful results that I've seen on this website , I believe there will be more progress in the next couple of months , Enjoy your new look :)
Wow turned out great! Good for you!
Meldesoke, are you still feeling any itchiness or getting any sores on your head from new hairs coming through?

Your hairline looks great and I hope you get some more hairs coming through and the hair getting thicker and straighter.
yes i still feel some itchiness & little sores from time to time, of course not that much like month 5 & 6, but i can feel some hairs are still coming.
Nicely done. It looks like it really worked well

Month 8 update

Quick update on month 8.
Hair is getting tall same speed like old hair.
Thickening prosess is slow i don't know why, In month 5&6 it blows up but now new growth is very few.
But I'm satisfied so far.

Cute #1 pic!
The front view is looking very full and tidy.

Thank you for this and tour recent updates, meldesoke. Best wishes up to month 9 as you should see even more density at the front and on top.
Thanks Aussie. I saw your last update it seams great wish you the best
Wow..that was amazing growth!
I am having mine with dr. maral in 3 months time. My hairloss stage is similar to you. I hope i will get the same great result as well.
Wish you great results in the coming weeks
Thank you. Can i know how long it will take the redness on the transplanted area to disappear?
3 months? Me too!
I'll be going there around feb 1st week
For me it took may be 3 weeks but my skin is dark. May be for white skin it may take little more. When hair start grow in the first two to three weeks it will not be much obvious
Take some warm clothes. I went there 1st week in Feb and took 4 days to do the tourist thing and build in some recovery time; and made the mistake of thinking that it would be warmer than home being in the middle east. It was about 3-4C that week.

I will be there mid of January, around 16th Jan.
Can't wait for the HT lol.
I have a fair skin, might be more obvious. I might use hair fibre to cover it so it won't be so obvious. I hope no one will realize i have HT lol.
Just tell people you decided to shave your head. Which is something that will have happened at the time of the HT! :)
don't touch the transplanted area during the first month, just prepare your self in the first 15 days for some silly questions after that no one will recognize hahahah
@Aussie Bee That was exactly what i am planning to do lol..btw, did you exchange your AUD to Euro in Istanbul?any recommended currency exchange?

@meldesoke i am taking 14 days off, hopefully it wont be so obvious when i get back to work lol
Just another bald man,
You're from Sydney too?
I did the exchange mostly at SYD Airport ANZ as there is no fee on the exchange for ANZ customers. I exchanged aud$1500 at the airport kiosk then withdrew the balance at IST at an ATM beside the baggage collection area, still in the secure area.

Betst wishes. When do you go to IST? :)
Best you research the winter weather since you likely will be coming from 35c Sydney summer weather. :)
Nice hair - great progress. I am also 8 months post-op Maral (was there a couple of days before you on 7th Feb). Bests.
Yes I'm following your updates. You have a really great progress. Wish you all the best.
