Hello everyone! Got my transplant in turkey in january 2024. Everything went super well and clinic was a reputable one with a very professional process.

Now, 13+ months into it, I have no idea if the results are a failure, or if my expectations for what is possible were too high.

The thing is, in super ideal conditions when I've just washed my hair and blow dried it, it looks almost like I never came that close to balding - but, it takes just a little bit of sweating on a hot day, or a dip into a pool, for that "illusion" to disappear, and the appearance of a balding to take over. The main issue seems to be the donor hairs´ thinness--it actually surprised me a ton as I was sure hairs at the back were far thicker than on the top. Well, nope... Super thin 14 month post op.

Can you fine people here comment on these pics and tell what you think? Realistic outcome or a failure?

Most guys with thinning hair can't swim and look good so i wouldn't go on the success of the transplant on that factor. Pic in middle looks ok but swimming and wind has been a bad combination for me.
