Hey, thanks for the message.

Sadly, I can't remember the antibiotics. Took it 3-5 days like they suggested. They suggested antibiotic cream which I applied to the area, but it didn't help.  

Funny enough, Dr. Michalis gave no pills at all for the aftermath, no antibiotics, no supplements - and there were zero complications. He gave me an antibiotic cream tho that I applied a couple of times to the donor area for 2,3 days. Just shows you the level of difference here. 

Spoke to him again, will go for a 3rd and last HT with ~ 3000 again, 1000 beard and 2000 hair grafts for the crown

Freshly buzzed (1mm)

Does he utilise beard grafts as well? And what is the price/graft?

Thanks!!

Do you guys think I can get more out of my donor + beard for my crown?

Any updated here? I got still no response

How did you guys contact the doctor? He does not reply via WA or Mail

Never posted before pictures. Found some I sent Yaman during the consultation process for the 1. HT. 

It is a big difference between now and then

I started applying a topical propecia solution as well, maybe that helped to strengthen old hair, too

Hey,

as the title already says : any suggestions for doctors that use at least 1500 grafts from beard for mid scalp / crown?

I contacted him as well via WA / the number on his website, no response yet

Use your beard hair, seems like you have a lot of it.

That is the plan :))

More pictures :)) - I am thinking about a third one for the crown. Do you guys think I have enough donor hair left for that plus probably some beard grafts since mine is very thick..

I already had a SMP - my goal is to actually wear my hair short ~1mm in the longterm since I will become a NW5/6.

I use topical FIN - used oral Fin, RU, Minox since early 20s on/off and in small dosage. My father is bald, so is my brother 2 years older than me, I am 32.

We decided to transplant a little bit behind the SMP hairline, will get the dots in front of my hairline removed in the future.

I had no issues with scabs at all, used PanthenolD,VitA,VitE spray and started washing and messaging my scalp from day 6 on. So healing process was super smooth. My hair has already fallen out mostly by day 14. 

It is literally written in my 2nd post in this thread, guyss..

Seems like a nice improvement! Will you let grow your hair?

 

I am just not sure whether I have enough hair for a decent look with longer hair than a buzz cut. My hair is thin by nature and blondish, and I need a somewhat clean look for work..so idk whether I will let it grow, maybe in winter just to see how it looks 

5th month started

Made it almost through month 4, approaching the 5th

Made it through month 3 (march, april, may) - approaching the 4th

My hair is actually so thin, even ~5700 grafts r probably by far not enough for a good coverage

A little over 2 months. All has healed very nicely, the SMP I did 2019/2020 is still covering enough so that you can not really notice how thin my hair is mid scalp and crown

5 weeks. All is going very well.

I can only highly suggest to compare both HT outcomes of both the doctors. As I said numerous times after the 1. HT - buzzing down my hair had literally zero effect on my skin. It was just the poor work - as it is now even more visible through the scarring especially at the borders. Doing the same buzzing procedure every 2-3 days. Thanks for the experience of getting mansplained tho

Looks super clean, nice

Two weeks after HT. Very good healing process. You can see the larger scars from the overharvesting (punched grafts close to each other, hence scars merge to larger ones) at Yaman

@wouldLikeMoreHair Started in the healing phase a couple of weeks after the first HT. It is still slightly visible but much less than before, i didn't use any treatment. I have literally zero healing issues after my 2. HT - so my only conclusion can be that the first HT was poor execution. 

I did not shave but buzzed/clipped my hair. You can read online that many people do that already from day 10 on without problems. Im buzzing after my 2. HT too - without any cobblestoning or redness or pimples. You can do the math yourself

Day 9.

Everything heals so fast. I buzzed the hair gently down to 1.5. You will see that buzzing my hair correlates not at all to redness and pimples as many of you have suggested in my thread. It was only poor work by the Dr. before.

I can only highly recommend to use saline water for a couple days after the HT. In comparison to the one before, so much better healing & less redness (my previous SMP helps here ofc, too) & now, day 7, a lot of scabs get off only by pouring warm water over my head. I'm very pleased, it is such a massive difference, am super impressed. 

Btw to all the peoples who wanted me to grow out the hair of the 1 HT - now is your chance - what do you think: how many grafts survived of the 3000 of Yaman? I feel like the hair at my front is kind of sparse, on the other hand, my hair is thin by nature.

Day 6

Heals very nicely. Can only repeat myself - you can feel the difference in quality so much between Dr. Yaman's and Dr Michalis' work (ethics).
