One year since a hair transplant with FueCapilar

[ClayBoy]

Hey everyone, I have put this off for a little while, but I thought I would share my journey with you all.

 

Last August I returned from a contract abroad and I had had enough. I noticed that, aside from wearing bandanas onstage for shows I had also started to wear them every day, for anything I did. I had become super conscious of my hairline, which only exacerbated the five head I already have.

 

I posted on here at 33 years old when I noticed a maturing hairline, but it got worse, without my crown being affected. I was taking finisteride for around 14months before I finally got home and contacted FueCapilar, in Turkey. As luck would have it I got offered a cancellation for the following week and, having squirrelled away some money, decided to book my flights and go. As I was doing it last minute and flights were expensive, they agreed to knock some money off... I also needed to keep the top of my hair for a few shows I had in the month following, where I would use bandanas to disguise the new growth. They reluctantly agreed, so I booked my flights and 24 hours later was flying to istanbul.

I was greeted at the airport late on sunday night and driven straight to a hospital, where my bloods were taken and then I was transported to the hotel, where I could get some sleep before a 9am start the next morning.

Picked up again, bright and early, I headed into the hospital where I met Dr Turan and his translator. We discussed what I wanted and a final graft number was decided upon. Then I had the line drawn on my head, my hair tied up and pinned down, and the rest shaved off.

There was no real pain with any injections and I felt no pain throughout the entire procedure. 

I had 2130 grafts. it took 4 sessions of about 90/120mins each. I had lunch each day and they drive me to shops to get dinner as well. They were just lovely.

 

The only real discomfort was around 8-12 days after the op, trying to sleep on a neck pillow.

 

I was VERY careful with it afterwards and followed all instructions to the LETTER.

 

I am very happy with the results. Please feel free to ask question.

thanks for sharing your result with Dr turan. I think it looks great. How do you feel? Also what was the cost of your hair transplant?

[ClayBoy]

Very happy. To be honest, as soon as the scaring is there, you already feel better... Just seeing where your hairline WILL be. I think initial cost was around €3400 (with VAT)... flights were last minute and I spent an extra day there. Prob around £4500 all in. Wasnt a large area but was densly packed.

 

Honestly, for what I got it felt like a bargain. How much would you spend to feel good about yourself? Priceless, really.
