Been a long time lurker on this forum. Finally took the plunge and had a hair transplant procedure at Hair of Istanbul in Turkey, on 7th November 2019. I thought it would only be right for me to post on here as I’ve found this a useful resource.
Been losing hair for 12 years although Propecia has pretty much put a stop to that this last 12 months, giving me more impetus to finally get things up top sorted.
Unfortunately I’m only allowed to post 1 photo here, but I did vlog the experience, so if anyone is interested in seeing more, please follow the link below:
Recovery has gone better than expected. No redness. No itching. No pimples. No shock loss. Very minimal swelling. Very minimal pain. Numbness now at only about 20%. Scabs off in Donor area on day 6. Scabs off in Recipient area between day 7 and 10. Shedding started on 6th December.
Unfortunately can still only post 1 picture. For a more detailed update, feel free to check out my ‘1 Month Update’ video on YouTube:
Numbness in the recipient site. I’ve never heard of Numbness in the donor area.
It’s just a small stubborn area at the front of my head which is still slightly numb. Probably about 10% numb, so I have 90% feeling in the area I’m referring to.
Numbness is different for different people. Some say it lasted for 1 whole year, some say 6 months. The majority of mine was gone within the first month. But again, just a small area about the size of a circle you can create with your index finger and thumb, still remains about 10% numb. I’m not worried. Should be gone by next month.
Oh right. Erm, not sure what I can do to help you with that ? Maybe contact Hair Of Istanbul directly and put forward a suggestion for them to include results on their website ?
