Normal guys gets a HAIR TRANSPLANT in TURKEY! My * Before and After* Hair Transplant Journey!

[@gem1984]

This was so informative and interesting - thanks for sharing your journey!! And you’re right, there is such a stigma about men doing things that make them feel better about their appearance, which is completely unfair. We need to normalise these types of procedures and allow men to do whatever enables them the confidence to be their best selves.

[@solohour]

Thanks Gemma!

[@robertbingalls]

Thanks for sharing this. I’ve been considering it for a few years and you addressed most of my fears. Really want my thick mane back!

[@solohour]

I'm looking forward to mine!!!

[@TheJohnDennis]

"Like uprooting trees" haha. Great points about the stigma around men and enhancing their looks. Seems like a really solid clinic, thats for sure!

[@solohour]

Yea, they are a MACHINE!

Super helpful bro

[@Golfing422]

I’m considering this, the cost is really reasonable without needing a loan. I’m 48 and in the wispy stage, always wearing a hat because I can’t stand my appearance. It held out for years I’ll give it that. I’ve shaved it just to see and I just don’t look good bald, so my only known appearances lately is in a hat. Bald is fine for guys who look good bald, but not all of us do.

[@solohour]

You should do it! You'll love it.

[@matsleight]

Interesting vid, best wishes with it!

[@solohour]

Thanks Matt!

As much as I would love to get a transplant in Istanbul to help with my receding hairline I probably would never do it for a variety of reasons: •Trying to find a good legitimate doctor since they're now a dime a dozen •Flying over from and back to the US and suffering from jet lag •Having to deal with the pain of the local anesthesia •Having to stay awake for the entire procedure which could take 8 hours •Having to shave my entire head •And the one thing nobody ever seems to bring up: how to stop the rest of your head from balding while the transplant area stays the same I would never consider doing any sort of prolonged medical procedure unless I'm under general anesthesia like when I had my wisdom teeth removed. That was fine. But I guess I'll just have to put with taking my finasteride/minoxidil combo.

[@solohour]

I mean...the only one that is remotely a big deal is the pain...and it's for 10 minutes. Everything else is no big deal. But you do you, boo.

[@zekeupchurch9146]

Hey Michael, looking forward to seeing your results! I have done a lot of research and decided to go see Dr. Cinik in July. Thanks to covid it makes everything a little more complicated so my only question is where did you go to get a covid test in Istanbul so I can get re-entry to the US?

[@solohour]

They will do it for you right there on the spot!

[@zaytoun6058]

you welcome to come back to Istanbul:)

[@solohour]

I will soon!

[@xFersureMatt]

Im completely bald. So.. i dont think this would work for me. I dont have enough hairs on the side of my head or beard. So im fkd i think.

great video

Thanks!

Cool 😊

[@sherrysresearchandreviews6915]

Interesting. Nice face. Hope it works so you can be at your best like you want. We all get it. And yeah,, probably so many celebrities have had it done too and look great.

[@solohour]

Ha, thank you!

[@scottlennon5831]

Class video. Where are the end results. Do you recommend FUE or DHI. What package did you get?

[@solohour]

I got the best one, and DHI. But FUE is also great.

[@Luke_power2023]

Great video Michael, so interesting to get the lowdown from someone I ‘know’ and respect. I’m lined up to get mine done this year and you’ve convinced me that this is the place to go. A question for you: If you did it over again how long would you have allowed for exploring the city before the procedure and how long would you have spent holed-up in the hotel to recover before the flight home? Bonus question, how long before you can wear a hat?! Cheers from the UK, Luke

[@solohour]

Honestly, like 10 days/2 weeks. It's an *incredible* city! You can start wearing hats in a week or so. It's pretty fragile at the beginning. But you get over being self conscious pretty quickly, because it's REALLY common in Turkey to have this procedure. Let me know if I can help with any other questions.

[@Luke_power2023]

The Solopreneur Hour Podcast with Michael O'Neal great, thank you. I was thinking 10 days so that’s useful to hear. Currently having the WhatsApp chats with them… that combined with your podcast and video has really helped so hats off to you (pun intended) 😀

[@solohour]

@@Luke_power2023 Did you mention you heard of them through me? They might charge you double, but it's worth a try. ; )

[@Moodiam]

im 4months post op, also did it at cinik. starting to grow in. the needle free anesthesia didnt hurt that much tho

[@solohour]

Nice! How's it growing in?

[@DerickKurtz]

Did they do the needle free injection before using the needles? If so, doesn’t seem like it worked??

[@solohour]

They did...but I'm not sure if anything really prepares you for the real shots. They are a bear.

[@neccros007]

Wow that shampoo looked like mustard! :D Congrats on the procedure!

I’m really considering going after seeing this. The only thing slightly putting me off is the numbing stage it seems everyone says it’s extremely sore 😟

[@solohour]

Yea, I get it. But it’s really like 10 minutes that sucks… Then you are just sleepy the whole time. I would say that it’s worth it.

[@brandonallen4873]

I heard you can pay extra money to be put to sleep at some clinics while they do the shots

[@brandonallen4873]

@@solohour on a scale of 1 to 10 how bad was your pain?

@@brandonallen4873 the pain was for 10 minutes, then it wasn’t painful at all. It’s very worth it.

[@bryantgonzalez6769]

Whats the price

[@brandonallen4873]

Did they do the shots slow or fast? And did they do it in a line or a circle?

[@solohour]

I'm not sure. the whole shot process was like 10 min.

I’m considering a transplant in the winter with the same clinic. How long before you could wear a ball cap and did you wear anything on your head on the flight home?

[@solohour]

From what I remember, you can wear a hat in about a week. I didn’t wear anything on the way home. If you are worried about looking weird, half the flight will be men coming back from Hair transplant!. Ha ha.

@@solohour lol thanks man

[@EarthStranger]

I’ve heard that these procedures require a lifetime cocktail of meds or supplements or topicals to maintain results afterward, is that true or? What did you learn regarding that?

[@solohour]

That's all news to me. Literally no mention of it from the doctor or from the scores of people that have contacted me after I posted this. But I'll check on it!

[@BloodHound5.0]

Not true but I would recommend finasteride & minoxidil to stop any further hair loss n encourage natural regrowth

[@Braden_Sky]

Been thinking about doing it recently. I’m a huge fan of medical tourism, and want to get a hair transplant and veneers. What made you choose Istanbul?

[@solohour]

As I mentioned, a buddy had already connected with these guys, so it was word of mouth.
