2 years after my HT. I couldn’t live with my hair anymore. It took so much effort every morning to style it properly, but just one gust of wind or a bit of rain was enough to ruin it for the rest of the day. I also really disliked how it looked in photos. I'm 32, so I still felt too young for this. Transplants 7/3/2025
A 32-year-old had a hair transplant in Istanbul for 2500€, using 2800-3000 grafts, and is not using finasteride or other medications long-term. The user is satisfied with the results but acknowledges the possibility of needing another transplant in the future.
