- 21 month update after my hair transplant at Elithair in Istanbul, Turkey. The clinic I went to have now created a discount code for me to share if anyone interested: lp.elithair.co...
For 3500 grafts in July 2020 it was €2150, which included hotel and transfers.
The clinic have actually now created a special link with a discount for anyone who might be interested: lp.elithair.co...
2300 grafts at the front; 1200 grafts on my crown.
I take Finasteride daily and have had no side effects. I also take Vitamin D and Biotin tablets. I don't use products in my hair and have never used fibres in my life. My crown is now 9.5/10 thanks to the transplant and finasteride.

Great result mate! I always enjoy watching your channel 👍I hit the 12 month mark yesterday and like you say the confidence it gives you is priceless.
Best results I've seen so far. I think you should definitely do one more and you will be set!
Really enjoyed going through all your videos..... I'm definitely going to get one now.. Just need to find a clinic I feel comfortable with... I'll need more grafts though.... You've done fantastic buddy......I think I'll wait until next summer also as I work in school and will have six weeks off to recover....
Mid life crisis for me too lol
Hair ✅
Veneers ✅
Nose next lol
HT and teeth make you look younger and healthier from your original video and never feel guilty about spending money to make yourself look better
Does wonders for confidence as you say and can lead to new career opportunities/relationships off the back of it
You’ve grown as a speaker too. Very relaxed and measured and can hold an audience! Look forward to the next update 🙏
Cheers mate! I think the beard makes me look better too. But confidence is what it’s all about and you’re completely right, it’s the same as buying expensive clothes and things like that really. All about how happy it makes you and what it can add to your life. As always, thanks for the kind words pal 👌🏻
@@HairlineConfessions Beard a definite keeper too 👌🏻
Great result mate, appreciate the journey you’ve posted. I’m 1 month post op my 2nd transplant, that’s the thing about getting a 2nd transplant. You’ve got to go through the growth stage again ha! Confidence is key and that’s why we get these procedures done, being more comfortable within yourself ultimately gives you a happier life!
Man, you need to rest, it looks perfect and above all natural. Do not do anything more !! do not touch it !! No corners no nothing !! enough. I loved what it looked like even before the transplant, I wish I had what you had before, I would say thank you for that. Leave your face and body to rest, enough. From now on, forget about everything and start living, start a family, children ... Enjoy life. And throw the mirrors out of your house :) , you seem to me very critical of yourself and that's dangerous. You look amazing and natural and that's it. Enough with surgeries and nonsense. I wish you well and sending you big love from Israel.
Fantastic mate.. You DEFINITELY DON'T NEED ANOTHER PROCEDURE.....
Well worth your journey, great results
Result is incredible. Nobody unaware of hair transplant minutiae would notice anything you are mentioning as shortcomings, let's be real
Your hair looks great. You don't need anymore.
It looks amazing , the glasses suit you too x
Thank you!
Looks really good man! I'm at month 10 myself, still hoping it will thicken up a bit more 🙏
Also I had laser eye surgery a couple of years ago it's definitely worth it! Literally pain free and takes 10 minutes. If you can afford it go for it
Bro your results looks really good. One question though: are you in any kind of medication like, finasteride or minoxidil.
Finasteride 👍🏻
@@HairlineConfessions hey mate. How long do have to take it before you can stop it? Or do you have to take finasteride forever?
I'll save some money and also do it before I lose all my hair. Thanks a lot for sharing your experience. Is it permanent in 1 sitting?
What do you mean? The transplanted hair should be permanent, yes. But if you don’t take medication you could continue to lose hair on other parts of your head (mid section, crown etc.).
Hi, can I just ask are you sponsored or anything from Elithair, just I looked on there web page and your on that. Looking in to getting my crown done, and to be honest yours is one of the best I’ve seen, especially for the money, I’ve seen others what compare but for 4 times the price. TH-cam and forums seem to throw up more questions than answers, especially when you find out there sponsored or have gotten a free transplant like some TH-cam channels.
Hey man. Just seen this. Are you referring to the TH-cam video of theirs that I’m in? I got an extra night’s accommodation and free hair wash for that. Just checked their website and I’m not on that as far as I can see. If you’re doing research on the forums (which is a good thing to do) then you won’t find anyone recommending Turkish clinics on there. Especially technician led clinics, which is what Elithair are. If you watch my videos in full you’ll see I give a completely honest account of my experience. Hairline isn’t perfect (some double grafts there) and the donor is a bit patchy when it’s shorter, but overall I rate my transplant an 8/10. From what it was to now is easily an 8/10. Could it have been better at a top Spanish or Belgian clinic? Of course. But it would also have cost at least 5 times the price. If you have a spare £10k though then I don’t think anyone would suggest going to Turkey. All comes down to budget pal.
Thanks for your reply, much appreciated. No what it is, I’ve just seen a couple of TH-camrs who’s been to some clinics in Turkey, where I think the clinic have reached out to them, knowing they have TH-cam channels and subsequently had the doctor do the job and they receive probably a better job than the average Joe would. The reason I ask, is because the job looks excellent and looks on a par to the clinics that are asking top dollar. I would be more than happy if mine turned out like that, Thanks again 👍
I hve 12 months but still top of head small growing
I don't think you need anymore hairline or temple peak work at all to be honest. I'd save those grafts for possible future needs elsewhere. Also, not many clinics do temple peak work as it's quite specialised, and even less clinics do it well. If you do decide to have work done there, that's one area that you don't want to shop based on price for. Miniaturised temple peaks or none at all is 10000 times better than badly transplanted ones, and graft removal (if they are done badly and required removal) in that area tends to scar more than along the hairline itself (where you can actually punch grafts back out with virtually no visible scarring if done by the right hands). The issue with temple peaks is that a) there's literally no donor hair on your head that is quite as fine as the temple peak hair, so to get it close and to blend you need a doctor to extract under microscopes the finest single hair grafts they can find; usually from outside of the "safe" zone like the nape or behind the ears. b) angles are king; getting the grafts to sit flush to the skin and point backwards nice and flat to match the rest of the hair and create the feathering effect is a real skill that few do well. Also, usually each temple point's hair will have differing directions due to the way the hair often wraps around the back of the head from the crown. My right side for examples goes straight backwards over the ear. My left side however has a more complex pattern whereby some hair at the temple/temple peak comes forward a bit, and then the direction of the hair changes to backwards over the ear the lower down the temple point you go. Replicating that requires real artistry, skill and the right sort of equipment to pick the right grafts etc...
Ditto by the way for the temple corners where the hairline and temple peaks connect. "Closing them off", as you suggested you might want, is also a real skill with similar challenges to temple peak restoration. Where you'll find the biggest difference between the budget Turkish clinics and the better regarded clinics is in exactly these sorts of areas of a hair transplant. So although you've got good results, your case was fairly straightforward so most clinics that are reasonably adept at extracting and implanting grafts should be able to do at least a decent job in a case like yours. The three hardest things in terms of complexity to do for a HT is recreating the whorl of a crown, temple corner restoration and temple peak work. I genuinely don't think you need to address those areas, but if you do, definitely make sure to do your homework - some of the best clinics in the world don't do temple peak work because it really is that specialised.
Cheers for the detailed message pal. One thing I realise I didn’t say in the video is that if I do get another surgery I wouldn’t go back to Turkey. For the exact reasons you mention. I actually managed to get a face to face consultation a couple of months ago with Dr Lorenzo whilst I was in Madrid and he said I would need 1000 grafts and some of that is for the temples too. He said the hairline would be lowered slightly and by lowering it it would hide the doubles. No plug extraction or anything like that is needed. Another top surgeon I’ve been looking into is Dr Mwamba, who again I’ve seen does strong temple work. Obviously a second transplant is a big deal, but by getting the majority of grafts done in Turkey I will still have saved a considerable amount of money. And Dr Lorenzo was very impressed by the crown work Elithair did. But like you’ve previously said, he also said I got lucky.
@@HairlineConfessions Mwamba & Lorenzo are both great so you’d be in good hands either way! And yea getting the bulk done cheaper and then the smaller refinement work done elsewhere is a decent strategy for you I’d say.
@@HairlineConfessions
I'm actually one month post op from a circa 1,500 graft hair transplant with Dr Mwamba in Brussels, covering a very similar area to what you've mentioned- marginal hairline lowering of about 0.5cm and the creation of temple points. It is worth noting that my temple points hadn't "receeded" as such, rather I never had any to begin with! Feel free to reach out if you've any questions.
@@mooney11 I actually made a huge error, and allowed a low cost clinic to work on my temples. (They did not actually need touching to begin with)
The end result is poorly shaped and dense… I’m very concerned and distressed.
I’d imagine the removal of those grafts would be my only hope in an improvement.
Would there be any surgeon who could help my case? thank you.
@@Whitewine-e2v If you’re in the UK, Dr Ed Ball of the Maitland Clinic, or Dr Feriduni is Belgium. Seen some excellent cases where they’ve removed hairline/temporal grafts with basically no scarring.
Hey bro! I am 10 months post hair transplant and I noticed I have a few doubles in my hairline. Does it bother you that you have doubles in your hairline? Or you don’t care ?
I’ve got an update video coming soon where I’ll cover this mate. I will always say that doubles look better than bald patches or no hair whatsoever, so definitely try to see the positive pal
Did you pay cash?
If so was you ok going through the airport with it.
As they seem to prefer being paid with cash at elitehair
I paid some in advance by bank transfer and then the rest on my card whilst out there. My bank charged me some fees but I just didn’t want to take loads of cash.
I transplanted my hair, my crown area still have my crown baldness almost year HELP! can you give me advice or clue thanks.
My clinic told me to use minoxidil on the crown for the first year to help it. Did you do that? Also, do you take finasteride? I honestly think that’s a must, particularly for the crown!
Total cost every thing ?
All info is in the video description pal 👌🏻
great result bro! but you should change your haircut, comb your hair back! don't use this courtain, you don't need it any more!
I’m lazy, man. It’s just easy for me and doesn’t require product!
You still using rogaine once a day ?
No, I stopped completely at 12 months, using it less each week over the last 3 months to avoid shock loss. Really not sure how effective it was because I tried Regain years ago and didn’t see any improvements.
@@HairlineConfessions fair enough, do you think having your hairline lowered would make a difference within how you feel about yourself? , coz if no then it’s not worth getting lowered.
@@christianbogle4736 I think it could make me feel more confident, yes. Like I said in this video, I feel so much better now than I did before my transplant. I would give my hairline a 7/10. I think it could be a 9/10 with 1000 extra grafts..
@@HairlineConfessions well I must say you look great… amazing results, apparently a lot of surgeons are against going for a completely straight hairline, coz they say it looks unnatural…
Bro I have chronic hepatitis b but it is controlled..can I go for HT?
I’m not sure man. They do blood tests before surgery so obviously it would pick up on that. You’d need to speak to a doctor.
@@HairlineConfessions ty dude
You should go to a good surgeon if you do another surgery
Personally I wouldn’t touch the temple peaks unless they actually start to bald I think they look fine now, from what I’ve seen and read it’s extremely difficult to get natural looking results in that area and you’d need to go to a top clinic to avoid it looking awful and wiry.
Can I see the donor area
7:00
You n I have same baldness
With the crown too? That will mean you’re a Norwood 3. www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/327001
