Thanks for sharing some of your concerns. I just had a hair transplant yesterday and I was also kind of wondering whether the scabs that start to form could block the new hairs! Hearing your story is a relief
I had my teeth in Istanbul a few months ago. I was staying in hotel full of people after dental procedures, rhinoplasty, and hair transplant. I enjoyed my medical advance and would love to come back soon for something else. Thank you for sharing your experience ❤
@PedroOliveira-ez2ni 1 it was a reply to some asking a question will the existing hair before the transplant still fall out, which he seems to have deleted his comment and finally any statement that is 100 true and accurate is never a dumb statement. We're don't for today. Come back tomorrow and I'll teach you something else you're struggling with
Man, I know what you're talking about. I was going through the same thoughts, and before I knew it, the time had moved forward faster than I had realized. I like that I can now brush my hair, and I'm not feeling like a sown head that strangers put together like a puzzle. But I'm glad I did it.
I just wanna tell every person who is suffering from receding hairline, balding ,etc in an early age like me ( I am 18 ) that it's okay ik you are suffering right now like me but I have made this mindset that till 25-26 I will use medication only like minoxidil, finastride etc , and till that time I will work on my body , face , beard , earning money and then at the age of 27 I will get my hair transplant done ✅ why to cry now ? Work on yourself, work on other stuff and just imagine yourself when u will get a good hair line you will have money body everything
you are correct, do everything to maintain your hair now and do a transplant later if needed. most doctors will not let a 18 year old or even under 25 do the transplant anyways
I had the same with the scarring, unfortunately I was bit too agressively after around 16 days and they we’re not really recovered, and had some open wounds (nothing to crazy) Hope I don’t keep scars of it though, but we”ll see. Can’t wait for the hairs to come out. Thanks for making this vid🙏🏻❤️
Thanks for sharing. this is very useful. I have a question though, I wonder if you need to use Menoxidel on the transplanted hair for the rest of my life to protect it or I don't need to? Thanks!
You only need to use minoxidil on the hair that isn’t transplanted since the transplanted hair is permanent. But yes you need to use minoxidil for the rest of your life, if you stop using it your hair will start to fall out again.
@@HamishAnderson-gd2lo I still have scabs on my front part and it’s been 13 days. I’m looking online and it’s saying different things. They say scabs should be removed for the grafts to breathe And then another thing says don’t touch the scabs let them fall off naturally. I emailed the post op email. I guess I’ll let them fall of naturally unless they say otherwise. I can’t wait til like 4-6 months from now.
These are the 10 things you really should know before deciding on a transplant: 1. Your native non-transplanted hair will continue its hair loss pattern without intervention or medical therapy. If have lost hair in early 20's then it is probably not worth the transplant, as you will likely lose the rest of the hair by the time you're 30 2. Try the finasteride medication and minoxidil before deciding on the transplant. You need to see how you will respond to the medication, whether you might get side effects or not. The main reason why is because you will be advised to take the medication after the transplant to keep / slow down the native hair loss 3. Accept that there is a possibility you will need more than one procedure in your life if you want to keep it all consistent. You will need to strategize and plan all this. Prepare and save for the second hair transplant just in case... You can delay it as much as you can with medical therapy 4. There's a possibility that you will become anxious about your hair throughout this journey. You will freak out when/if you shed, thin in other areas etc. 5. Consider taking the right supplements to maintain strength of the hair on a daily basis - saw Palmetto, zinc, biotin etc etc 6. Consider introducing prp/prf and llt in your hair loss prevention regime
1. I think 1 is a bit wrong. There is nothing wrong in doing HT at a young age, you will be enjoying the golden years of your life, but you got to stay commited to finasteride and maybe 10 or 15 years down the line you'll need another.
@@255mauro I agree. people tend to stop caring about what you look like as you age, unlike when you’re younger which people will judge you for having a balding head.
Keep in mind you have a limit on donor hair. The more you localise the grafts in one area, the less you'll have for the coverage of the rest of your head, and nontransplanted hair will likely continue to fall out, even though the meds slow it down, it's a different rate for everyone. Your may end up with a strong hairline but significantly thinner hair behind it. Good luck.
@@klaus9060 yes, see a doctor. But overall, medical therapy can help you greatly, in preventing your hair, if you are just 18 and you are already conscious about your condition, all the better, prevention works best the sooner it has begun
I’m not gonna lie, this might be one of the better hair transplants I’ve ever seen. That being said, I love having an idgaf buzz cut and thick beard. To each their own tho.

@Plqw Thats what I've been told by the doctors, that the levels of DHT drop significantly once you go past 30. It's still a subject to scientific research but they do have serious data on this.

Anyway, your hair seems super dense.. do you use any medical treatment?
Thank you for the content. I have so many questions, and you seem very knowledgeable and your hair turned out great! If you have a moment... If you have a receding hairline, wouldn't the recession proceed behind and beyond the transplant as you continue to age? Are you worried about damaging the receding area in the same ways you were prior to the surgery, or are the new areas considered to be more permanent/strong? During the first few months, can you wear a hat or something to hide the transplant for at least part of the day? What about those of us who have to be presentable for our jobs; what would you advise if we want to hide our transplant? What is daily maintenance like? Not just post surgery, but for the rest of your life? What are you advised to avoid post transplant? Wearing hats for too long, certain hair style products, too much sun, high heat hair dryers, hair dye, hot showers, etc? Thanks, Brett!
My scalp was very itchy firdt month or 2 amd they say dont stay in sun for long or redness can stay on your skin. Im going on month 4 of my fue 1300 grafts. So far so good still healing i have black thick short hair. I wanna point out after my fue i felt more confident even with just the frame of it
"Hello, I’m having my hair transplant with Dr. Serkan next month! The clinic has chosen the 'LONG DHI' technique for my procedure. I can't find any testimonials from people who have undergone this recent technique, only photos and testimonials from those who had the regular DHI. What do you think, in your opinion, are the results just as good?"
Hi mate. Thanks for the video. Any chance you could tell me approximate $$$ to expect to pay in turkey? I probably need 1000 approx more grafts than yours
To me it doesn’t look horrible but it doesn’t look natural either. Maybe they could put more imperfections in the hairline like a zigzag pattern to break up how perfectly straight it looks for a more natural look.
@kamiliyalius3595 Too much, too young. At 50, few have the hairline if a 22-year-old. Not natural. Second, there are a limited number of lifetime grafts to transplant, so that's a risk.
Got 3200 FUE last month in the US and it took 10 hours excluding 1 hour lunch break. I didn't take sleep meds, but I was sleepy due to lack of sleep the night before. I just slept on my normal pillow with a surgical sheet and leaked fluid all over that for the first 2 to 3 days. My doctor told me not to wash my hair for 3 to 4 days. My scabs took about 9 days to fully clear. Mine wasn't densely packed because I only added density on the top crown and slight bit in the front corners and I didn't really need to lower my hairline. Since the sides were all shaved, I just gave myself a marine haircut and will keep it that way for the next 4 months or more.
@@Tazzzzmenn After 14 months, it's about 80% covered. It might get slightly better at 18 months when the results are final. I'll probably need to get another 800 grafts to cover up the crown. The original surgery was around 3100 grafts.
The problem with a hair transplant is that what feels like 90% of the time you can tell they've had one. On the one hand because of the density of the hair, which shows light spots in some places and on the other hand because of the hairline. Most doctors don't care if it's natural or not and will smack you an even straighter line than my ruler can make. Therefore, one should start finasteride as early as possible to stop hair loss and thus increase the possibility of a natural looking hair transplant. If there are people who are afraid of finasteride, I can only say that they have to use it for a few years at most, because a new drug called GT20029 is supposed to come out in the next few years and it's supposed to be much more effective against finasteride. Good video as always and thanks for sharing your hair loss process with us
Most of the time the straight hairlines are by choice. I discussed this with some doctors and asked them why some transplants look more natural than others, and they said that the straight hairlines are mostly requested by their clients even though they prefer to give a more natural look.
Make that "10 things I wish I had known..." I wish I knew what you want to say, for example, is a hypothetical statement referring to the present. For hypothetical statements referring to the past we need to use a tense that describes the situation BEFORE the events, that consequently evolve or don't evolve as a consequence afterwards, take place. The only tense in the English language that accomplishes that is the past perfect which is why we need to use it in the title of this video.

Hey Brett, during the 5 month or so post-transplant period, with all the things you mentioned happening, like shedding and patches and wiry-wonky hairs, were you permitted to wear a baseball cap to go outside in public. I remember you said that people walk around shame -free with bandages on their heads in Istanbul because there are so many of them there they don't feel embarrassed. But I live in southern California where image is everything, and I'm wondering what the rules are on baseball cap wearing once I get back here from Turkey, for those first 5 months or so. Thanks.
Just had my HT 3weeks ago. You can wear a hat after 14 days. Id say play it safe and wear a hat after 2,5 weeks. When the scabs are gone it kinda just looks like you have a buzzcut.
@@Dwolfmusic did you go back to week before the 2 weeks? I just don’t want to have to take 2 weeks off for it so I’m trying to get a remote job and then I’ll do it
You can wear a cap, but I don’t recommend, my transplant was amazing and very successful. You shouldn’t care about the imagine, a hair transplant isn’t cheap. The following day of my hair transplant I was in a mall, bald and with a bandage on the back of my head 🤷🏼♂️
beautiful growth and result, but I believe it really came down to the excellent type & nature of your hair which contributed the most to the end result.
Take finasteride for a few months before doing a hair transplant. That way you'll know whether you get sides or not. That way you'll also already have low DHT levels at the time of the procedure so that you won't keep losing hair the months after.
Useful video for people thinking about getting a transplant and for those who’ve just had one. I can relate to everything you mentioned. One thing that you did not mention was any use of a derma roller / micro needling. I was advised to start using one after 6 weeks…it is uncomfortable but if it helps to promote the hair growth, then it’s worth it. I wonder why the transplanted hair follicles do not die like the ones they replaced? What is it that makes a transplant successful, long term?
the transplanted hairs are genetically in a region that does not get affected by the DHT/stress hormones. Those hair follicles are genetically made stronger for whatever strange reason a man was made
@@coochiecrook7120 whatever hair you have left outside of the transplant, in the male pattern baldness region, is still susceptible to continuing hair loss if not treated or taken care of to the best of your ability, sometimes it might mean medication or other ways.
Have you noticed skin aging and dark circles under eyes from the minoxidil? And are you still on Saw Palmetto? Had some side effects from SP so can't take it unfortunately.
Dark circles from minoxidil? Yo.. is that why I developed them.. although I've been taking minoxidil for quite some time now.. almost 6 months and dark circles only appeared about 3 weeks ago. Also I take the topical form
@@johnny-mnemonic13 dark circles can litterally mean a handful of things, such as sleep, stress, sleep quality, diet even, skin health, lack of time in the sun, pretty sure also vitamin difficency can cause it. Dark circles can happen for any number of reasons consider what's been different within the last 3 weeks and start there if it's an issue you feel self concious about
I was guessing...where do people from States go most commonly for a trasplant?( do u have any other good place closer? ) European goes to Istanbul ( i m italian) ....i know best center r in turkey, thailand and India 😊😊 greetings from Milan
Greetings Brett; Would you be so kind to provide the name of the Hair Transplant Clinic which you went to in Istanbul City? I am a Turkish origin American National who has Dual Citizenship! Hope, I can visit there... Thank you, Honour Naven
Great video bro, you look amazing. I am in 1.5 months after my hair transplant... still on my ugly ducky face haha - I cannot wait for it to grow. Thanks your video definitely made me feel reassured Btw are you on medication? I understand that male pattern hair loss will continue so in theory you should be on medication for life. That is pretty much what I am doing.
I had mine in Madrid, Clinics give you a complementary proper pillow designed for this. They give you also sterilised clothes to put on the pillow, not just any towel, you could get an infection, no wonder you got it all that red. I am really shocked that you used the toothbrush to take that stuff out. Normally you go to the clinic after 10 days and a professional will do if for you with a special massage, and not like that with a toothbrush.
Just had mine done this past week here in Miami. Dr.Nussbaum was great, excited for the results, you and I had similar hairlines and hair. Your videos convinced me to make the jump, you’re the man keep it up.

These are the 10 things you really should know before deciding on a transplant:
1. Your native non-transplanted hair will continue its hair loss pattern without intervention or medical therapy. If have lost hair in early 20's then it is probably not worth the transplant, as you will likely lose the rest of the hair by the time you're 30
2. Try the finasteride medication and minoxidil before deciding on the transplant. You need to see how you will respond to the medication, whether you might get side effects or not.

Not sure if you can share? If you can how much it cost you? Thanks
Hi mate. Thanks for the video. Any chance you could tell me approximate $$$ to expect to pay in turkey? I probably need 1000 approx more grafts than yours
beard looks reallly good on u
How long numbness last in implanted area?
How much did it cost?
To me it doesn’t look horrible but it doesn’t look natural either. Maybe they could put more imperfections in the hairline like a zigzag pattern to break up how perfectly straight it looks for a more natural look.
Thanks I'll try it
Do you need a special comb/brush after the treatment?
2400 hair grafts on just hairline..my god
Insane, and some are saying an extra 400-600 to correct his thin line in front.
Just had 3000 just on an hair line
Whats the issue? I had 2800 on my hairline
@kamiliyalius3595 Too much, too young. At 50, few have the hairline if a 22-year-old. Not natural. Second, there are a limited number of lifetime grafts to transplant, so that's a risk.
I definitely have to get this done
Got 3200 FUE last month in the US and it took 10 hours excluding 1 hour lunch break. I didn't take sleep meds, but I was sleepy due to lack of sleep the night before. I just slept on my normal pillow with a surgical sheet and leaked fluid all over that for the first 2 to 3 days. My doctor told me not to wash my hair for 3 to 4 days.
My scabs took about 9 days to fully clear. Mine wasn't densely packed because I only added density on the top crown and slight bit in the front corners and I didn't really need to lower my hairline. Since the sides were all shaved, I just gave myself a marine haircut and will keep it that way for the next 4 months or more.
How are your results right now?
@@Tazzzzmenn After 14 months, it's about 80% covered. It might get slightly better at 18 months when the results are final. I'll probably need to get another 800 grafts to cover up the crown. The original surgery was around 3100 grafts.
The problem with a hair transplant is that what feels like 90% of the time you can tell they've had one. On the one hand because of the density of the hair, which shows light spots in some places and on the other hand because of the hairline. Most doctors don't care if it's natural or not and will smack you an even straighter line than my ruler can make.
Therefore, one should start finasteride as early as possible to stop hair loss and thus increase the possibility of a natural looking hair transplant. If there are people who are afraid of finasteride, I can only say that they have to use it for a few years at most, because a new drug called GT20029 is supposed to come out in the next few years and it's supposed to be much more effective against finasteride.
Good video as always and thanks for sharing your hair loss process with us
Most of the time the straight hairlines are by choice. I discussed this with some doctors and asked them why some transplants look more natural than others, and they said that the straight hairlines are mostly requested by their clients even though they prefer to give a more natural look.
About this new drug...does this have any side effects?
You will lose your penis.
A clinic will naturalise the hairline if you ask them to. Straight hairlines look silly.
Where can I learn more about this new drug GT20029?
From which day I can start gym ?
Do you have a video were you breakdown the cost of the trip and the HT? I'm considering getting one and only need about 800 grafts.
He’s good looking!.!.
i was skeptical at first but damn the hairline looks good now!
Make that "10 things I wish I had known..." I wish I knew what you want to say, for example, is a hypothetical statement referring to the present. For hypothetical statements referring to the past we need to use a tense that describes the situation BEFORE the events, that consequently evolve or don't evolve as a consequence afterwards, take place. The only tense in the English language that accomplishes that is the past perfect which is why we need to use it in the title of this video.
u taked the finasteride?
hello from turkey i love ur videos
Good job 👍🏼 , im in 2nd month and waiting for hair to grow im so sad and frustrated
Dont you have any haedache after this?
So willnt it happen in the future?
Is it ok to know how much. TY
Great content thank you
Thank you for sharing this
Man great video
TnX for this video and information bro
🤝
@@BrettMaverick Brett, do you touch base with your Turkish surgeon now & then?
Wonder if you can do me a favor, ask him who the top 3 FUT Turkish surgeons are that he would send his own kids to?
I'm looking to go to Turkey to have FUT performed
I got one with even more grafts and it doesn't look as thick as yours. It looks ok from a distance or if I comb it forward. Next time Istanbul.
2:45 get yourself a Waterproof Mattress Protector. they're $20. and pillow protectors. those are like $15. if you're going to be going thru the recovery process for weeks . get thse 2 products.
Don't bleed on your towels
Hey Brett, during the 5 month or so post-transplant period, with all the things you mentioned happening, like shedding and patches and wiry-wonky hairs, were you permitted to wear a baseball cap to go outside in public. I remember you said that people walk around shame -free with bandages on their heads in Istanbul because there are so many of them there they don't feel embarrassed. But I live in southern California where image is everything, and I'm wondering what the rules are on baseball cap wearing once I get back here from Turkey, for those first 5 months or so. Thanks.
You can wear a cap after 7 - 14 days
Just had my HT 3weeks ago. You can wear a hat after 14 days. Id say play it safe and wear a hat after 2,5 weeks. When the scabs are gone it kinda just looks like you have a buzzcut.
@@Dwolfmusic Thanks. And good luck with it.
@@Dwolfmusic did you go back to week before the 2 weeks? I just don’t want to have to take 2 weeks off for it so I’m trying to get a remote job and then I’ll do it
You can wear a cap, but I don’t recommend, my transplant was amazing and very successful. You shouldn’t care about the imagine, a hair transplant isn’t cheap. The following day of my hair transplant I was in a mall, bald and with a bandage on the back of my head 🤷🏼♂️
Hello? how much did it cost for you?
Thanks for the video
I would love to see your hair with a buzz cut !! That would get lots of views mate
beautiful growth and result, but I believe it really came down to the excellent type & nature of your hair which contributed the most to the end result.
Bro is Harley clinic in London any good??
Is it advisable to undergo treatment ie massage and medication (usually in another clinic) before hsving a hair transplant?
Take finasteride for a few months before doing a hair transplant. That way you'll know whether you get sides or not. That way you'll also already have low DHT levels at the time of the procedure so that you won't keep losing hair the months after.
You only did your hairline or your whole head? Impressive hair
They did his entire head from butt hair
how much cost a surgery ?
lol “playing with my consciousness”
What kinda antibiotics do you have to take? Damm I guess I’m screwed then because I can’t take antibiotics ever again because of a health issue
Did u take meds for swelling? Since u disnt sleep in 45 degree
Useful video for people thinking about getting a transplant and for those who’ve just had one.
I can relate to everything you mentioned.
One thing that you did not mention was any use of a derma roller / micro needling.
I was advised to start using one after 6 weeks…it is uncomfortable but if it helps to promote the hair growth, then it’s worth it.
I wonder why the transplanted hair follicles do not die like the ones they replaced? What is it that makes a transplant successful, long term?
Don't you need to take Minoxidil,Rogaine or Propecia? Or your the rest of your hair will fall out?
the transplanted hairs are genetically in a region that does not get affected by the DHT/stress hormones. Those hair follicles are genetically made stronger for whatever strange reason a man was made
@@coochiecrook7120 whatever hair you have left outside of the transplant, in the male pattern baldness region, is still susceptible to continuing hair loss if not treated or taken care of to the best of your ability, sometimes it might mean medication or other ways.
@@sowaveysuyatby medication, i think you are referring to finasteride, minoxidil (anything else?) but what do you mean with other ways?
Have you noticed skin aging and dark circles under eyes from the minoxidil? And are you still on Saw Palmetto? Had some side effects from SP so can't take it unfortunately.
What were your side effects?
Dark circles from minoxidil? Yo.. is that why I developed them.. although I've been taking minoxidil for quite some time now.. almost 6 months and dark circles only appeared about 3 weeks ago. Also I take the topical form
@@johnny-mnemonic13 dark circles can litterally mean a handful of things, such as sleep, stress, sleep quality, diet even, skin health, lack of time in the sun, pretty sure also vitamin difficency can cause it. Dark circles can happen for any number of reasons consider what's been different within the last 3 weeks and start there if it's an issue you feel self concious about
@@johnny-mnemonic13 it will make you age faster. there are literally side effects to everything
Minoxidil applied topically will make your skin age faster and give you dark circles under your eyes ?
would having the transplant effect my seborrheic dermatitis in any way?
Looks great
“listen i’m super confident and not insecure that’s why i got a hair transplant”
This Guy is a GigaChad
I was guessing...where do people from States go most commonly for a trasplant?( do u have any other good place closer? ) European goes to Istanbul ( i m italian) ....i know best center r in turkey, thailand and India 😊😊 greetings from Milan
Can anyone tell if we can wear a cap or not some months after the transplant?
Not till 30 days after
Greetings Brett;
Would you be so kind to provide the name of the Hair Transplant Clinic which you went to in Istanbul City?
I am a Turkish origin American National who has Dual Citizenship! Hope, I can visit there...
Thank you,
Honour Naven
Thx for sharing, really helped me to do it too
you can't workout the first couple months. Right?
Please give any best tip for thining lips...
Lip lift 😅
Great video bro, you look amazing.
I am in 1.5 months after my hair transplant... still on my ugly ducky face haha - I cannot wait for it to grow. Thanks your video definitely made me feel reassured
Btw are you on medication? I understand that male pattern hair loss will continue so in theory you should be on medication for life.
That is pretty much what I am doing.
I wonder if my hair would be thick and really curly like it was when I was a teen
I had mine in Madrid, Clinics give you a complementary proper pillow designed for this. They give you also sterilised clothes to put on the pillow, not just any towel, you could get an infection, no wonder you got it all that red. I am really shocked that you used the toothbrush to take that stuff out. Normally you go to the clinic after 10 days and a professional will do if for you with a special massage, and not like that with a toothbrush.
Last point is very important
