Did i miss anything out? Let me know if there is anything you hate about your hair transplant too! Don't forget to like and subscribe for future content 👊
For me personally.. the waiting process has really tested my patience. Currently on month 4 of my second transplant and I find myself constantly looking in the mirror for growth haha.
*Suggestion:* Amit, can you make a checklist of the perfect kit one should bring to Turkey? E.g. travel pillow, towel (to put on the hotel pillow not to stain it?), shirt or sweater with buttons/zipper in the front, small plastic container to rinse your head in the shower (maybe?), slip-on shoes (not sure?), etc....
@@brockhampton3078brother im planning for second hair transplant!! My scalp look sensitive when I touch!! How is it for u after 2 nd hair transplant please reply
Wow man, went from your 'first haircut after 3 months' to this and its amazing how well it's grown in. I'm in Istanbul 6th of May so hoping for a similar recovery!
@@johngatsby1473 Smile clinic. Was a great experience. I'm month 3 almost now so through the shedding phase thankfully. I have a vid on my channel about it.
the scratched follicle after the say, 3 weeks is normal I'm hearing. It's scab attached with pieces of hair. I've been getting that months after my hair transplant.
@@brunofernandes7063 I'm pretty sure that will be my clinic of choice. I've been talking with them via email so it's just a matter of time... waiting on my passport and then I'll make my appointment
I’m on day 4 of my aftercare for 1400 grafts. The sleeping isn’t as bad since I didn’t get the entire crown, but I can not wait to just get thru this first month, im ready for my head to heal and hair to grow back. Hope the process is all worth it
I also had a HT in istanbul and they also told me that I will need 2nd seasson for crown area but Im going to start using topical fin+min now so I hope it will improve my density in that crown area so it will postpone that needing of 2nd surgery for few years :D Will see. Thanks for your story
I hate the fact that I can identify hair transplants which is something I couldn't or even wouldn't have been looking for before researching and undergoing one. This means you're always seeing it as unnatural even if it's a good one. If you have the extra money maybe it's worth it, but I couldn't afford two surgeries at 10k unfortunately.
Oh, interesting! I don't think I'd be able to tell the difference if I saw a random stranger in the street who had a hair transplant. What gives it away to you exactly?
@brockhampton3078 @brockhampton3078 this is precisely what I'm saying and it's actually true that people who haven't had one or haven't had some experience with them can't see the things you come to notice following research and undergoing one. Essentially you look and see the illusion created, but nobody else or not very many people notice what you do. The fue scars, lack of density, the hairline and overall appearance is just not real and you spot these things.
lol this is actually very true! i do the same now. Whenever i look at someone's hairline i tend to be able to spot if they've done a hair transplant or not!
@@brockhampton3078it's mostly the "perfectness" of the hairline. generally also if its an older person, the hairline should not be too low, that is also a dead giveaway sometimes
@brockhampton3078 fue scars, the lack of density... there's something perfect in terms of coverage, but not quite right. The good thing is that only yourself or other people in the know will even potentially spot this. Ultimately, it looks way better and that's the thing to hold on to. The fact is you'll always want that little bit more and forget where you came from. Smp is a nice finishing touch, but again you'll spot it and worry others will plus it needs refreshing every 5 years. It's a battle in your mind before during and after.
How many days before you were able to sleep regularly on your back? And how many days before you slept comfortably 8 hours again with no pain or itchiness? How long did the itchiness last?
The thing I hate about my hair transplant is that after my procedure I became obsessed with hair and wanting good results. I spend countless hours in the mirror and I take pics often. Its been a year and although my results are decent and light miles away from where I used to be, I was hoping for more density. I now am in the process of setting up a 2nd one and I hope that'll be all I need.
i agree same here! I used tobe so obsessed but honestly over time you get so much hair back that you dont even realize it! a 2nd one will defianetly help you with density as it did to me as well
Im at the day 4 after at a hair transplant in Istanbul.Till now things are alright.Nothing wrong at the moment.Sleeping is an issue..But thats temporary.Nice video!
Yes the sleeping for the first 2 weeks is hell. I hardly got any sleep ,and scalp felt so itchy. The clinic offered a service of washing my head every day for the first 2/3 weeks after my transplant. I had my sirgery with Max Hair Clinic in Bangkok the city i live in.
Just a note to say that it's been about 5 months since I had the procedure done and I'm very thankful I did it. I don't like seeing pictures of what a scalp looks like after the procedure and I'm glad I requested that my long hair (past my shoulders) not be cut. It made the work harder for the doctor and his staff but I appreciated it. After the procedure, I couldn't see what my scalp looked like; I think it would have freaked me out. Also, since I usually wore a hat or cap, no one was aware of what I had done. If I had my head shaved, there's no way I could have kept it a secret. Anyway, it slowly grew in and these days I don't wear a hat or cap. If anything, I wish I had done it sooner. Best wishes to anyone who's contemplating a transplant.
@@hmdwn I had the procedure done at the Thai doctor's clinic in Bangkok. I initially chose Bumrungrad Hospital because they have a stellar reputation in the medical profession. Since I vacation in Thailand often, it seemed like a reasonable choice: the procedure would be done away from people who know me, the cost would be less than in the US and I could recover comfortably in Thailand with great food and a vibrant night life.
Nice and precise content again Amit..Kudos. also how long one should wait to colour our hair either its donor or transplabted area. Appriciate if any brands you suggest.
thanks man! I think you can color your hair after 60 days from yoru hair transplant. plus that gives it enough timeto grow out a little! I dont dye my hair per say, but i know JustForMen are a good hair dye brand - amzn.to/3IDavFp
3 in a half months Since i got my hair transplant the thing that im dealing with right now is having anxiety when people try to touch my hair or Thinking about getting a hair cut.
Great advise , I had two surgeries and soon I will have my 3rd one. I was a grade 6. I took Durasteride as is stronger than finasteride, Minoxidil oral and topical and of course the vitamins.
I had in turkey. But they prescribed only medicine for 4 days . Like anti biotic etc. But not any vitamins tablets or finasteride or monoxide. Can I start without the prescription of doctor the finasteride or not. I need your suggestions plz.
i did not as the clinics first advised me not to for the first 45 days, so i decided to let me hair grow out as much as i could for the first 3 months and then cut it off after!
It’s day 7 for me. The pain in my donor area is brutal. I can’t last without pain killers. I feel like the neck pillow activates the pain. How long is the average time for the pain to subside?
Thanks for the info. My main worry about the Hair Transplant is the texture of the hair. I’ve seen that the hair is rough and kinky or wavy after a certain length. What are your thoughts on that?
I'm going to Budapest next week for a HT. The clinic advises against any type of washing of the hair for 3 days as this could risk infection from ordinary tap water, but instead apply spray every 30 minutes. There seems no agreed consensus on this point. Can you advise please?
My clinic advised me to wash gently every day for the first 12 days before removing the scabs. I guess you could use apply a spray every 30 mintues, but that would probably be the same amount throughout the day as doing 1 wash in the evening. So to each their own i guess, but not washing your hair for the first 3 days is wild to me as you'll have alot of blood tricking down your head if you dont!
which areas are you having heavy hair loss? is it on the transplanted areas? or from native hairs? if so, make sure you're on finasteride and applying minxidil to help counter this!
I put a hair patch, but it feels so unrealistic and hampering my confidence again! Please could you suggest me if i should switc to hair transplant surgery?!
i went to Vera Clinic! would definately recommend them as they did 2 transplants for me and i got a really good result from them. You can book a free consult with them here: vera.clinic/amit You first send them pictures of your current hair, they will assess and send you back an estimated amount of grafts. But once you are at the clinic itself the amounts may change and they check properly in person
Wow! Your new hair looks great mate! Just had my HT a week ago. The tiny scabs are still there and my head, specially the transplanted area still feels kinda tight. Is this normal?
congrats on getting yours done! scabs are normal, and you'll be able to strub it out a week later. The tightness is also normal, it'll go away after about 2 weeks!
Can you please guide regarding pain in donar area after hair transplant ?how to deal with it . Most ppl dont get that pain . The nerves shock in donar area is important part to be covered in this topic.
it definately does hurt, but after any surgery there will be a lot of discomfort. The clinics provide you with pain killers and swelling meds to help ease that pain the first 2 weeks, and after that you are fine. I may cover this in more detail in another video!
Excellent explanation. I had mine done in Thailand and while I am glad I did it, I would not want to go through that experience again. The two weeks immediately after having the procedure done was awful: the awkward sleeping, the itching, etc. but as I said, I'm very glad I did it and I hope my results will be as good as yours (it's been about a month since I had it done). Best wishes.
thanks man! glad you got it done too! the experience is tough i agree, but once u get through all the awfulness of it, the results are worth the wait! you got this!
@@todddelfs9031 My apologies! I don't know how I missed your question. Dr. Damkerng Pathomvanich performed the procedure. It was through Bumrungrad International Hospital in Bangkok (although the procedure itself was performed at the doctor's clinic, not the hospital). He himself was very good as was his staff and I am very thankful that I was in such good hands. Best of luck.
How much was the cost of your first hair transplant in Turkey? I am considering doing it. But since I am from/in Cameroon, I was thinking of going to Nairobi.
Hi man, thank you for informing everyone! I've just started to watch your videos but haven't seen that many videos yet. I'm planning on booking my transplant for my crown area at Vera Clinic. Is there a possibility in your opinion that the result may be bad in any way because of the surgeons, and would you recommend recording everything or take someone with you?
welcome to the channel! you're in for some really informative videos about a hair transplant! I dont think results will necessarily be back because of surgeons, as i think it mostly comes down to you after the procedure on how active you are with the upkeep of the after care routines and ensuring you're doing everything possible to get the best result. If you have hte time and effort to record yourself, then go for it. i did that on the side and got the clinic to record me as i had reached out them much earlier and because i already had this channel, it was easier for them to agree!
@@amitposthair Thanks a lot man, I really appreciate your work! Quick question about payment: did you also pay an 8% fee or did you use another payment method instead of debit card? The clinic says it's an 8% fee, but my bank told me there's only a 1,65% fee for card payments outside of EU.
I want to lower my hairline only (i'm a woman with no hair loss but need 1500 grafts to lower hairline) but i'm afraid of not being able to sleep and the itchiness of the scalp. On what day did you return to work? Also, if donor area doesn't grow back then how do people with more hair loss not look bald in these donor areas after transplant? I think the hairline should have softer, thinner hair (like baby hairs) but since all donor hairs come from the back the hair is thicker so i wonder if everyone's hairline is covered in thicker hair...making it look slightly unnatural looking and course.
I been worrying about having to get one but man it will always be scary I do keep my hair really long tho so does hair grow long after a transplant or does it stop at a certain length
it does grow long depeneding on your hairs! generally it keeps growing but i also like a shorter and neater look so i've never grown it past my current length
Hi Amit you talked about Finasteride, what brand do you yourself use? can I use only half a tablet instead of whole tablet per day?? I really like your results, very good job, also lastly what was your Clinic you used in IST? Also finally is using Finasteride really important after the Hair procedure? thank you.
i use Proscar that I picked up from my clinic at the time.. My clinic was Vera clinic, i have a link to them in the description. Finasteride isnt a neccessity, but it is highly recommended if you want the best results!
i initally picked up the clinics shampoo and used that every day for the first 3 months. then i switched over to the revita high density shampoo after. Worked pretty well for me! If you're interested you can pick it up too and use code "PHTT" to get a 20% discount! dslaboratories.com/products/revita-extra-strength-hair-density-shampoo?afmc=iu&
Just had my HT this past Saturday and my donor area is in so much pain. It feels like my entire head is covered with cement. Is this normal? Also how long does it take for the donor area to heal? My donor area is very red and inflamed and I’m starting to worry that it was over harvested 😢
Hi I've made a hair transplant in Turkey, 1 week ago.After how many days is normal to go on sun for short and long time? Do you made some PRPs after hair transplant (not the first one who made thay).Do you take some extra shampoos set and vitamines from hospital, they want from me to take it ,it was 300 e for 6 months.Is it necessary or I can take on my own .Thanks
you can go out in the sun after about 2 weeks. But just dont stay out in the sun too long or else you scalp can get some irrtation from the heat. I did not do any PRP as I felt i did not need it. And yes i take plenty of vitamins and shampoos but not from the clinics. All the stuff i use is in the description of the video!
Regarding ugly duckling just chatted with a guy who didnt lose his head to ugly duckling in either if his 2 transplants. Which is very rare but wow would love for that to happen.
i have a question bro is it possible to use a hair fiber just to cover up some bald spot after hair transplant? 2nd question bro is it okay to wear a hat during the ugly duckling period ? Im just worried in this stage because i am working. thank you from Philippines
yes 100%! i recommend using fibres a lot and using it to cover up bald spots after a hair transplant is still fine and yes wearing a hat during the ugly duckling phase is completely normal and ok, dont worry!
you can but its still best to stay upright as it helps with bloodflow stay on the top of your scalp rather than being pushed downwards if that makes sense
I've watched several of his videos, maybe I missed it or he didn't mention it but... what research lead him to Veri Clinic in Turkey vs so many other clinics in Turkey or, other parts of the globe like India, Asia etc. Watching other RU-vid videos from clinics in USA they advise to NOT go to Turkey etc as many are just a money-grab-clinics without the expertise or stringent standards and your results can be botched with very poor results and zero support.
im doing a more in depth video about this! but the gist of it was that i spoke to the a bunch of people who had gone there before, and youtube as well. Also spoke to the clinic with TONS of questions before making my decision. It was extensive! I chose Turkey ultiamtely because of cost, and knew that they had proven results.
i am! stay tuned!! I use rosemary oil but i stopped lately as it was casuing some slight irritation on my scalp. As for pumpkin seed oil capules, i dont take those but was considering maybe in the future
I had FUE! yes they took 10k grafts over 2 sessions. And i couldve worn a hat but i chose not to as i did not want my scalp touching anything post the surgery!
I just had one done in beverly hills. Which is a short drive for me. But flying to turkey from Los Angeles is 16hours freaking hours. Not sure if thats even feasible medically. Would it be advised to do layovers in that case? Is that possible if i need a second one? Gahhhh
Hi , i also did hair transplant from Turkey around 4 months ago but my doctor didn't recommend me to use Minoxidil because he said if you are using it your original hair will stop but its temporary it fall when you stop using it . Could you please guide is it really import to use MInoxidil to grow your transplanted hair .
you should start using it on your donor area and then once your transplanted hairs grow out a little after about 4-5 months you can use it on the scalp after
@@amitposthair and if I don’t want to use minoxidil and I am using hair serum then my result still will be going to good or not what’s your experience?
@@muhammadalimughal9269I recommend to have a dialog with your doctor for further questions. My recommendation is Finasteride as first priority instead of Minoxidil.
Hi is Rob from italy... Do u think is very common 4 american and canadian people going 2 Turkey? I know that lately lots of people travel to philippine Thailand and india 2 have an hair trasplant😊
What, you know that Finasteride was developed originally to help against prostate cancer by minimizing testosterone production. The positive side effect of this was also better hair growth.
Greetings Amit, I’m using happy head topical. Minox and finas together. I’m 5 months post op from Vera clinic. Great results. Are you applying the topical to your transplanted hair? I was instructed by them to apply to my crown, since transplanted hair is in front only.
Why did you decide to lie about revita shampoo on their ads making it look like you gained density and regrowth just from the shampoo and not even mention the ht. Shady dude
hey man! any ads you see for the shampoo that was was posted by me is not edited by me personally, as the company has the rights to use my clips because we partnered together, so I have no control on how they depict their ads to their target audience. for myself however, i do disclose I had a hair transplant in my video descriptions and comments and that the shampoo does contribute to my overall results (which i still believe is true), together with other supplements I take.
