CASE #1

FUE Hair Transplant Results: A Step-by-Step Story

My name is Paul 33 years old from France. Today, I’ll be sharing with you my hair transplant results for the first time.

As I recall, my suffering with hair loss started after I graduated from college.

Normally, when people suffer from hair loss or baldness it begins by having a receding hairline and temples. Surprisingly, my case was different than other people that I know.

My hair started thinning from the crown region moving all the way to the front areas!! But I lost more hair on the front and mid-scalp regions.

Of course, baldness didn’t happen overnight. It took quite a long time until I reached to this advanced level of baldness which you’ll see in my pictures below.

Since I was a fresh graduate, I still didn’t have the ability to afford the cost of FUE hair transplant in Europe. Thus, I decided to start saving.

But as I waited my condition was worsening. So, I started looking for affordable hair transplants abroad.

Having Turkish roots, the first country that crossed my mind was the land of my ancestors.

Yes! You guessed right, Turkey.

The Reason I Selected Turkey for My Hair Transplant

For the last 15 years, Turkey became a hot spot for hair transplant. The high success rate of fue hair transplant results encouraged me to consider having the surgery there.

However, I spent almost 7 months closely observing the work of Turkish hair transplant surgeons.

Don’t be shocked. Some people spend a year to find their right match.

Seeing many bad fue hair transplant results make you more cautious when selecting your destination.

After searching online, I made a list of the best hair transplant clinics in Turkey to choose from.

Finally, in 2017, I made my decision and selected Avrupa Hair Transplant clinic to do my hair transplant at.

I felt comfortable with my decision after I’ve seen their great work and the positive reviews by their previous patients.

Flying to Turkey for an FUE Hair Transplant

In summer 2017, I booked my flight after coordinating with the patient representative working at the clinic. The coordinator was very helpful and responsive to all my questions.

They guided me through all the steps before I even arrived and that increased my trust in them.

My entire visit was planned for 4 days only. 3 days were devoted to the surgery and the check-ups after the surgery.

The 1st day when I arrived in Istanbul, I found the driver waiting for me at the airport. He dropped me off at the hospital for the blood tests and then back to the hotel.

After I rested at the hotel, the patient coordinator informed me about the time of the operation.

The 2nd day at 8:00 a.m. I was ready to be picked up to the hospital.

I must confess that I was a bit nervous.

But once I arrived at the clinic and met with the doctor, all my fears were gone.

Hair Examination Before FUE Hair Transplant

Before starting the operation, I sat with the doctor to discuss the outcomes and how the results will be after the surgery. He gave me an overview of the entire surgery and examined my hair condition.

He confirmed that I would need 2 sessions to entirely cover the balding areas.

I already had an idea about the number of sessions I would need when I contacted them on Whats App.

He also showed me some similar cases they previously performed. I was impressed by how their appearance really changed and this actually made me forget about all the stress.

The operation started at 9:00 a.m. sharp and finished around 3:30 p.m.

I remember most of the time I would either be sleeping or playing with my phone and watching T.V.

During the operation, I was given a lunch break to eat a light snack. After the operation was done, I was taken to another room to get dressed and take some medications.

The 2 Days after My Hair Transplant Operation

The following day after the operation, I came to the clinic to remove the bandage on my head. It was a quick visit; it didn’t take more than 5 minutes.

The 3rd day was my last visit to the clinic. I went to wash and clean my hair.

After they finished washing my hair, the medical staff gave me some instructions and showed me how to wash my hair.

I bid farewell to everyone at the clinic and then I was taken to the airport.

Now, I’m back home waiting for the results to appear.

Patience is a virtue…

FUE Hair Transplant Results Timeline

You must put in mind that the newly transplanted hair will take time to grow. You need to wait at least 5-6 months to see the initial results.

I was told by the clinic that the results could take up to 9 months or even 12 months to be visible. They explained to me the entire hair growth process and that the hair will start falling out during the first 2 months.

At this point I was disappointed, but they reassured me that this is completely normal, and the hair will grow back again by the 3rd month.

During the 3rd and 4th months after hair transplant I didn’t notice a big difference. The hair was growing slowly, and the hair shafts were thin.

By the 6-month-mark I can say that I started seeing evident change. I was very lucky that my results didn’t take too long to appear.

And although I was told that I need two sessions I was amazed by the 1st session results.

At 8-month mark my newly transplanted hair was fully grown, and I became the happiest man on earth.
