The title just goes to show that
1. the turkish government had reasons for trying to get people to use "Türkiye" instead.
2. It's still not working.

Re: How turkey hacked the hair-transplant industry
#32I did it a few years ago when I was living in Istanbul. One evening, a friend of mine wouldn't shut up about the procedure. I ended up booking it almost on a whim, mostly just to prove him wrong. I did the transplant the next day. In the end, I was very happy with the results. I think it cost around 1500$. https://raw.githubusercontent.com/olalonde/olalonde.github.c...

Dude, you're crazy! You look great now, prob one of the best procedures of it I've seen.
Also I notice my wife and female friends NEVER seem to notice when someone has plugs.
When I occasionally point it out, they're always surprised.
I haven't done it as I don't need it, but I would say anyone on the fence, just do it.
From what I know it's easier to keep what you have that get a transplant so fire up that HIMs subscription

How did it hold up over the past few years?
Holding up pretty well. Here's a picture from yesterday: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/olalonde/olalonde.github.c.... The transplant was in 2021.

Thanks, I guess I could still shave :) But it's definitely not a common opinion.
Re: How turkey hacked the hair-transplant industry
#35So I spent time living in Istanbul a few years ago. It really was wild. In the touristy areas (near where I lived), you really would see loads and loads of bald guys walking around with stitches on their heads. If I were bald, I would totally go there and do the same.
Am I the only one that likes being bald? Hair maintenance has always been a huge drag for me (yea executive dysfunction!) and when I had it I hated it getting in my eyes. I was balding anyway. Started shaving my whole head at the start of COVID and haven't stopped. I love it.

Thanks! It's really hard to tell. Most people are surprised when I tell them (unless they knew me before the procedure).

I like a 10mm buzz cut, but it's nice to not have bold spots.

#40Has there been any progress on cloning hair follicles? I don’t want to move the hair around. I simply want more hair.
I saw a headline about this the other day. I couldn't find it but did come across this article. https://www.zmescience.com/medicine/genetic/lab-grown-hair-f... No idea if ZME science is reputable at all.
Totally unreputable. That is not a scientific journal. That is some guy (Who's degree is in geophysics) biog. The article was written by him.
