Literally just got back from Turkey myself. And revisiting these videos certainly helps not only to do the right things but keep me mentally sane. It’s nice to know I’m not the only one that is like “fuuuuuuuuuuck sleeping this way sucks!!!!!!”

Also a tingling sensation on donor area when i touch or perform 2finger massage . I think that's normally from what i understand. apart from that hoping for day 10 crust check . Thanks again for all the info you put it here , very helpful when we needed .

By the way, I love your channel! It feels like you have a video for everything! You are doing God's work, sir.
Cool, had mine today so will try this tonight. Process was a little sorer than expected but hopefully results will be worth it.

thanks man! I did take the fast recovery package. The main difference for that one was the addition of 2 oxycure sessions. I personally do not know how much that actually has helped me, but i decided to just go with it since I was going all the way there to do the procedure anyway. From research studies, it shows that oxycure really only works if you're consistently doing it over a long period of time, i cant say for sure if u absolutely need to do it or not.
Thanks for posting. The first 3 to 4 months are terrible. Having the procedure done is worth it though.

Hi Amit, I have been watching your videos lately as I have also done a hair transplant recently in India. I got 3300 grafts covering my front part and may need to do another one later for the crown. I have completed 3 weeks today. However, I am still feeling discomfort, soreness, itchness, and dryness in my donor area. Just wanted to ask how long this feeling will continue. I know it differs from person to person. But any advice would be helpful.

thats completely normal to feel that way! dont worry its all part of the process. Unfortuantely those feeling will be there for at least 2 months but once you hit your 3rd month it will slowly subside and it will start to get better from there. Trust the process! Check out this video of how i talk about the emotional impact of how i felt when i got mine done too: kzread.info/dash/bejne/X4V3qtSikdTekaw.html
is there something to pre- numb your head before you get injected with anesthesia? My transplant is coming closer and the only real thing i'm worries about are those injections, which lets be realistic, are painful. If i can at least make it a little less painful, it would be really control my nervousness.
@amitposthair

They are painful! They do inject your head with a pre anesthetic puncture, to help ease the pain after. But I'm not sure how much of a difference it actually makes. The pain does only last like 1-2 mins max.. and after that your head is completely numb.. and this happens twice, once at the back, and once at the front.. so just mentally be prepared!

@@amitposthair In my case i don't read anything about pre anesthetic. They probably stick those needles in right away. They said the first 5 i will surely feel. That means in my case 3x 5. My crown area will also be done.. That is why i asked what can i do as a pre measure? Use Valium (diazepam) to at least be dazed/relaxed? Or is there something that actually numbs me before i get injected? I hope someone knows this.

this happens! your head is just feeling a tightness after the surgery. I had this for a while too but over time it goes away, i'd say about 2-3 weeks. Once you hit that 1 month mark, your head almost feels completely normal. as for the lymph nodes behind the ears, i never got that so i cant advise on that unforunately. But i do believe all of it is temporary. Trust the process! it'll all be ok

Hi Amit, Really useful video. I'm thinking of getting a Hair Transplant done in Turkey and have been researching for some time. I have been told I may need 3500 - 4000 grafts. Some even advise I may need 2 transplant, bit like you was advised. For me the difficult part at the moment if deciding on a clinic and whether to have the Dr perform the incisions. Ideally I dont want to have 2 transplants and was hoping to have it completed in one. I also dont want to start finasteride, however many people are advising to not get a HT without it as its pointless. I would share my hair photos but cant in the comments.

Hey man! Totally understand where you're coming from. I too had the same dilemma at the start. I think its important you be as clear as you can be to the clinic you decide to go with at the initial consultation stages. Initially for me, they had told me they wouldn't cover the full area but I was naive and thought once I waa there I could get it done. However it seemed like they knew what they were doing and recommended, so I decided to go along with it. I was also not to keen on taking fin but I eventually realised that it is beneficial. I've been on it for over a week now and have been feeling perfectly fine. Also, if you wanna share some pics, you can email me at posthairtransplanttips@gmail.com! I'm happy to give you my thoughts if you're seeking for some advice.

I HIGHLY suggest upgrading your seat on the flight after so you get extra space. That was SO helpful. After the procedure it was nice to have more space on the flight and extra service.
