What do you all think? Good density for 5.5 months?

Hello everyone 29 women I have done hair transplant surgery by the age 27 it’s been exactly 2 years that I have done my hair transplant. I didn’t need it. I have always been had healthy, thick, long hair but I remember two years ago hair transplant clinic contacted me and I was in dissociation state so I said yes, to the surgery without even knowing what it was, and I deeply regret it and I wanna remove it I wanna remove 1 cm. And reshape the hairline there is any solution please.

Iam 24 m 6 months on fin

I wanna know what are some of the best places that give good low enough dense hairline in middle east

I am exploring hair transplant options in Delhi and would like to hear from people who have recently undergone the procedure. how was your experience with the doctor, treatment process, recovery n overall results? any genuine recommendations or things I should consider before chossing a clinic would be helpful.

I just got mine two days ago and holy shit it was ROUGH. Expected the anesthesia to be bad, so nothing crazy there, but being stuck in a chair in a same position for hours during extraction was not fun lmao. Fainted once right after it. On day 2 now and feeling way better. Anybody else have a similar experience?

Some before and current photos at about 8 months. Very happy with the work by Dr. Taner Karahan. Easy setup, nice hotel. Would highly recommend.

​

After months of contemplating, here I am with my hair transplant.

I still cannot believe I went through it .

Hoping for Positive results

Hi everyone,

I’m currently on Day 25 after my hair transplant, during which around 3,000 grafts were implanted in my frontal hairline.

I’ve recently noticed shedding, and on one occasion (on 20th day), after scratching my scalp, I noticed a patch that looked almost completely bald. This has made me concerned about whether I’m experiencing normal post-transplant shedding or if I might have lost some grafts.

I’m attaching photos from the day of surgery (Day 0) and Day 25 so you can assess shedding.

I’d appreciate your thoughts on a few questions:

● Is this amount of shedding normal around Day 25?
● Can scratching at this stage cause graft loss, or are the grafts generally secure by now?
● If a patch looks completely bald, can the follicles still be alive beneath the skin?
● Has anyone experienced something similar and eventually achieved good density?

I understand that everyone heals differently, but I’d really appreciate hearing from people who have been through the same experience, especially those who are several months or a year post-transplant.

Thanks in advance for sharing your experiences and advice!

Hi everyone,

I finally took the plunge and had my hair transplant yesterday, October 15th, at a well-known and reputable clinic.

Photo 1: Day 0 — Immediately after surgery (yesterday).
However, choosing a reputable clinic doesn’t necessarily mean everything will go according to plan. I guess there’s also a bit of luck involved.
I finished my hair transplant yesterday, and during the night, at around 4 AM, I got up to use the bathroom. When I looked at my scalp, I was shocked to see it in this condition.

Photo 2: Around 4 AM — The first night after my hair transplant.
I immediately contacted the clinic, and by 7 AM this morning, they asked me to come in earlier than my originally scheduled 11 AM appointment so they could clean the area before the blood dried too much.
The medical team spent about 15–20 minutes carefully removing the blood using saline spray.
The surgeon then examined my scalp and noticed that some grafts were protruding slightly. They hadn’t been completely dislodged, but they weren’t inserted deeply enough. According to the surgeon, this was because my skin is thicker in certain areas.
I want to make it clear that I’m not blaming the clinic or the medical team. They have been professional and attentive throughout the process. However, I’m genuinely worried about the final outcome.

Today is only Day 1 after my surgery, so everything is still very fresh.
I’m flying home on Tuesday (a 12-hour flight).
Until then, I’m scheduled to return to the clinic every day at 11 AM for cleaning and check-ups, except on Sunday when they’re closed and I’ll have to do the cleaning myself.
I’ve also completed a one-hour session of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) combined with Red Light Therapy, and I’m scheduled for two more sessions tomorrow and the day after, following my hair washes.
I’d really appreciate your thoughts, especially from anyone who has experienced something similar.
Has anyone experienced this kind of bleeding during the very first night after surgery?
Could the slightly protruding grafts affect their survival or the final density?
Do you think this looks concerning for Day 1, or could everything still heal normally?
For now, I’d prefer not to disclose the name of the clinic. I don’t want to damage their reputation over something that might turn out completely fine.
For context, there was only one surgeon involved. The surgeon personally made the recipient-site incisions, implanted the single-hair grafts, and then supervised the medical team during the implantation of the multi-hair grafts.

Thank you in advance for your feedback and opinions!

Hello. I’ve been looking into dr Gur because I heard he had a good reputation and was one of the most ethical hair transplant doctors in Turkey. However, when I look at their packages he designs the hairline and such but only supervises the operation itself. Advice?

Hey everyone,

I recently had a consultation with Dr. Pittella, and he’s confident he can achieve great results with approximately 9,000 grafts (NW5, approaching NW6). I feel like I have a pretty good donor area, and my main goals are to achieve good density and a decent hairline.

The biggest hurdle is the price — around $70,000. I have the funds, but it’s still a significant amount of money, especially since my original budget was closer to $40,000.

I know Pittella is one of the best for high Norwood cases, but I’m debating whether he’s worth the premium or if I should explore other surgeons. I’m considering consultations with Miln, Bek, and Ratchathorn.

Would you bite the bullet and go with Pittella, or explore other options? Would love to hear everyone’s thoughts!

I’m day 9 post-op and my scabs began to naturally come off during my daily wash. I know that grafts are locked in and secure by day 9, so with gentle rubs, I completed my scab removal today.

I have a few stubborn scabs left I’ll let come off on their own, but I’m worried about 2 spots in particular. Are these dislodged? Damaged? One has some blood it seems. Can it be a surface scar?

Firstly does anyone know why this purple mark would be made here? I had PRP but not sure that's where they injected. I wonder about this because this is where I had a lingering scab that required antibiotic ointment and another week of oral antibiotics 💊. The scab finally came off naturally weeks after the other ones (about 37 days post) but now I'm noticing a ring of more serious shock loss (hopefully just that and not follicle loss) around where that purple mark and lingering scab was. Anyone with patchy shock loss post op, I'll take any reassurances or outcomes months later. Just nervous is all. Thanks all for the feedback!

1st photo is 14 months post op. 2nd photo is before ht.

Went back to the surgeon complaining that not only does it not look more dense, I now have circles of missing hair. Got told by my surgeon at the 1 year follow up that the procedure was successful, I just need a second transplant. Which seems a little crazy to me I wasn’t bald before just thin. And I was told this will absolutely give me the results I’m looking for and fill in my part easily.

Got a second opinion from a female surgeon at the same clinic who noted, I definitely do not look like I have had any results, but they cannot accept any fault. She told me to go to my dermatologist and get a scalp sample sent to a specific scalp pathologist to rule out scarring alopecia before they try and come up with any solutions. This would have to be paid by me, out of pocket. I don’t even know what the results would say to them, if it would be positive they could tell me that’s a me problem and to eff off. But they are framing it as we want to potentially get you a refund or offer you other options “to get you where you want your hair”, whatever that means.

My thoughts, I would not get a female hair transplant unless it’s in an area where there is no hair. I’ve seen a lot of photos of success in hairline lowering but that is filling in an area that has zero hairs. I do not know what to do now. I’m out $10k and more bald than before.
