Experience DHI Hair Transplantation Recovery

Four weeks after DHI hair transplant, worried about follow-up photos

hairline_waiting
I had DHI Hair Transplantation in Istanbul four weeks ago. Travel was okay, the airport transfer was there, hotel was clean, and the procedure day was long but organised. The part I did not expect is how much I would think about every small change after coming home. The clinic asked me to send photos at day 10, day 20, and one month. I sent the one month photos last Thursday and only got a short “looks normal” answer on Monday. Maybe that is fine, but I was hoping for more detail because I am in the ugly shedding stage and my brain is making stories. I am not asking for diagnosis here, just how other people handled the waiting and the very short WhatsApp replies after leaving Turkey. Also, if you are still researching, ask who replies after the procedure. Before payment I had one coordinator who was very warm. After coming home it seems like a different person or maybe a team account. It is not terrible, just less personal than before, and I wish I asked about it clearly.

The short replies made me anxious too. I started sending numbered questions instead of one long message, and the answers became a bit clearer.

Same experience, honestly. Before treatment they replied in 5 minutes, after I flew home it was more like next day or two days. I don’t think it always means bad care, but it feels different when you are staring at your head every morning.

I made a small folder with photos by date so I could compare weekly, not hourly. It helped my anxiety because daily checking was making everything look dramatic.

Ask for their normal follow-up schedule. It calmed me to know when they actually review photos.
