Looks way better. Good decision. So how many days does it take?

I feel like this is becoming the new norm.

Percentage-wise? Man, 3000 graphs here in Boston was going to be 12-15K... I spent under 3K total.

Yes, it was clean and sanitary, everything took place at a hospital that was nicer and bigger than Boston Medical Center.

So you dont take fin and your hairline was noticeably receded but you were far from bald.

What happens when your balding progresses and you have all this transplanted hair on your hairline and the middle to back portion of your head is balding/bald?

Why do hair transplants always look like someone drew a hair line on someone and didnt give them the corner edges? It looks decent OP but you can tell very easily its a hair transplant.

just keep getting more transplants?
A am using minoxidil for prevention but my hair is pretty thick beyond my front hair-line. But yeah, I'll have to cross that bridge when I get there, I still have plenty of donor area.

This is why you need to take fin. What dose were you on and how bad were the sides

I don't understand why most surgeons seem to make the hairline perfectly follow the line that they drew on beforehand rather than spacing the follicles out a bit and making it look more natural. do they even fukin try?

1 MG a day. That stuff is poison to me. I noticed my erections weren't as hard, then I did more research and found out about the class action lawsuit. I never touched that stuff again. Luckily for me, everything went back to normal, others are not so fortunate.

I guess to make it look more natural.. I mean thats what they probably recommend but if I were to get it in the future, I would get corner edges.

You get what you pay for. I wish. I could have afforded Tom Brady's surgeon, believe me. Is it perfect? Yes, to me. haha. No, It's not perfect, but the typical layman cannot tell and it is much better than what was going on beforehand.

Say what you wanna say about Turkey but our medical industry is being run professionally. Better than Europe definetely. You dont wait for a month for a single ultrasound check. 90% of the time they do the tests same day they are ordered.

Also that transplant thing became so big we can not afford to look unprofessional. So noone will do the procedure in a dirty environment, underground clinics, unlicensed doctors etc.

Yes, they are all competitive. While you are there you'll see 30-40 people walking around, who like you, just had the procedure.

Why are bald Arabs in Istanbul?
Istanbul, a popular holiday destination for tourists, is nowadays flooded by Arab tourists for a different reason.

Being the center of attention for tourists with its historical and touristic attractions, Istanbul is nowadays one of the most preferred addresses by Arab tourists for hair transplantation. When tourists with hair loss enter the city, they first turn to hair transplant centers. Tourists add mustache and eyebrows as well as hair.

Tourists, who want to prevent hair loss and regain their hair, flock to Istanbul. Hair transplant specialists in a private medical center in Taksim host dozens of patients every day. Mustache, eyebrow, eyelash and beard transplantation is also performed in the hair transplantation center, which is especially popular with Arab men.

Explaining the method of hair transplantation, Meral Tala, hair transplant coordinator, gave information about the technique used during the operation. Tala said, "Hair transplantation is carried out with the FUE technique, which is currently prevalent in the world. In other words, hair follicles are taken individually from the nape area with a micro motor and transferred to the sparse areas. This method is more advantageous than the old methods. We can reach more hair follicles at one time. We can complete it at once. It is also pleasing for the patients. " said.

ARABS ARE AT THE LEAD OF HAIR TRANSPLANTERS
Stating that they also perform different hair transplants, Tala says that especially Arab customers get hair transplants. Tale, "except for the plantation mustache, eyebrows, beard and eyelashes planting also performed at our center. Turkish patients as well as our going our most Arab patients. There are also those coming from European countries. Patients, hair forms about demand going on, but taken will result in about a conscious way in Turkey ' they come to. " used the expressions.

Stating that more men apply to them, Tala said, "For hair transplantation, patients should choose a professional team. The operation must be done in the hospital. There must be a sterile environment and the procedure must be carried out under the supervision of a doctor. We take healthy hair follicles from the nape area. Of course, health checks are also done. 95 percent of those who apply to us are men. Again, 5 percent of women can also have hair transplantation. Our procedure is performed with local anesthesia. Our patient is awake and can talk to us. After the process, after the roots are taken, the hair is extracted and made to be transplanted. These roots are transplanted to the patient in the next step. " he spoke.

Istanbul To removal and restoration of hair also from Arab origin, Yusuf Mohammed, "According to tell my friends, he made a lot of hair transplantation in Istanbul. I have also prefer Turkey. I'm young too because it gives confidence I wanted to be a hair implant and I'm not married yet, my hair is important . where I live is very Turkish friends, they suggested to me. not only did I just ask friends, I did some research myself. I did not feel any pain during the operation. Both being treated come to Turkey I want to visit both, it was a good opportunity. definitely good results I think I'll get it. " He spoke in the form.
Apparently they also do beard/ mustache transplants.

They took really well.

I wonder why hair transplants always choose such a 'solid' line. Natural hairlines do not look quite like this MS Paint curve, which I think contributes to them standing out.

I wonder if you can transplant enough to fill in the entire 'horseshoe' area, at least lightly.

I do not recommend that. Our legal brothels are pretty chit. And underground ones could be dangerous: you could get your money stolen or wake up missing a kidney. Only go to an underground brothel if you know a local in Istanbul who frequents these places.

true, but it's not like moving a few follicles further down here and there would really cost them anything. someone posted a video of another dude that went to turkey a while ago and that guy's result looked completely natural. you might wanna go back and ask for like 20 more follicles to make it less even. lol. semi-srs.

Are they really that dangerous? Even shady Russian spots aren't that bad.
