straight guy here not afraid to say you are a good looking guy before doing this. Looks can fade, but a good heart and personality last a lifetime. You were blessed with all of that. Good luck and hope it makes you see in the mirror what we all see and like about you. Looks, charm, talent, humorous, entertaining and intelligent. Come on what else are you looking for in yourself? 😀

As a nurse, I used to work in cosmetic surgery doing hair transplants and I have to say …. Your hairline looks amazing!! They really have perfected the process.

[@thewilliamseswonderfulworld]

The new hairstyle really lets your blue eyes pop. Looks so good! Also the opening scenes are amazing.

The interior of Elithair Offices!!!! I'm not really fond of modern interiors, but as soon as you enter, I was gobsmacked. Such a cool, calm atmosphere. I imagine that your visit would be less stressful, being that you're going from one room to the other. Congratulations Michael for taking the plunge. You are looking more handsome than ever. Keep smiling! ☺

And it makes a huge, huge difference compared to Dan's snaggle-toothed appearance before. He looks much more healthy, vibrant, classy and distinguished with his perfect teeth, huge image change. I would like to see Selmar Duinn have his teeth done. He should ask Dan for the contact info. and see if that Turkish dentist would fix his teeth. I think it would make a huge difference in Selmar's appearance, and probably his love life as well.

[@scoobysnacks]

Turned out very nice. I would never know that you had it done if I hadn't watched the video. You look great with really short hair btw. It accentuates your eyes and makes you look younger. You ought to consider leaving it short for a while instead of growing it out again. They have really come a long way with that technology because years ago people who had it done looked like they had doll hair and you could definitely tell they had a transplant. But they make it look entirely natural now.

[@minneman1562]

I am so glad for you en understand your feelings completely because I have alopecia so I have been loosing my hear all over my body for the last years. Off course loosing my hear on my head is coursing a lot of stress and is taking my self-conscious away. Hair transplant can’t help me because it is a disease. For that I am already happy with a wig and tattooed eye brows. I am so happy for you that you had this opportunity and really understand it gives you your self conscious back.

And what a great gift from Elithair! You were so brave to include us in such a personal journey and to undertake it yourself. I can believe that you considered backing out. My innards were churning just thinking of you facing such a decision. You took us to a whole other country so different from what most of us see. And so different from what I expected of Istanbul. It's so modern it looks futuristic. I can hardly wait to see what your hair looks like when it gets longer. In the meantime, it looks good because your head has a great shape, and of course your loveable personality bubbles thru no matter what. Thanks for such a fantastic exhilarating trip! It made waiting these almost 4 weeks for your return worth the wait. P.S. I'm going to share your video with my son who has a balding spot that concerns him a little. And he loves to travel, so he may consider it.
