Dr.Karaaltin Clinic, Turkey. 3.5 months after HT

[Alex123]

Hello everyone. I’m new here. Appreciate your comments as I’m a bit concerned about HT results after 3.5 months. Hair growth is quite ok but what disturbs is skin redness and small marks which create a hair line. I understand it’s normal in the beginning but is it still ok after almost 4 months?

HT details:
3500 grafts
Dr.Karaaltin hair clinic, Istanbul
Mid April 2022
In general very happy about how it went, but still a bit nervous about hair line on the skin.

Do you have pictures before and after surgery you can share?
Redness can last quite a while. Sometimes longer than 6 months. Does it itch or cause any pain?

Thanks a lot. Need to have 2nd opinion as unfortunately the clinic guys don’t explain much, just keep repeating that it’s normal and will disappear one day.
No pain or any sort of discomfort. It’s just the line that bothers.

Here are photos of the same area before the surgery:

I’ve seen a similar HT to yours where it appeared there was marker pen under the skin. I believe it did rectify itself for the patient. Not sure what is causing the marks on your hairline. A close up picture would be helpful.
What does the clinic say is the reason for the mark?
It`s good there’s no pain or irritation.
Do you have the pictures from your surgery day?
You have quite a lot of hair loss. Are you on a hair loss prevention regimen?

Thanks. Now it looks like a micro bruise in the middle. Below are a few pics.
Unfortunately the clinic doesn’t say much. Struggling to contact the doctor directly. There is sales coordinator in between who isn’t too much responsive. Post surgery service is way below expected.
I also attached photo from day#4. Don’t have the one from surgery day. As said it went pretty smooth with no issues after.

I don’t see anything that would concern me. All you can do is wait and see. Hopefully, their surgical skill is better than the post-op care.
