This page lists 63 patient cases in the forum that are posted under the name of Dr. Hakan Doganay, newest first. Each case is a separate thread, and most include photos. The title gives the graft count, the technique and the Norwood stage (NW) where the poster stated them, and often the follow-up time. Results differ between people, so use these as examples to compare, not as a promise of your own outcome.
Key takeaways
- Graft counts in the thread titles range from about 1,310 to 5,500 (59 of 63 titles state one).
- Technique as written in the titles: 59 mention FUE, 57 mention Implanter pen, 2 mention DHI; the rest do not state one.
- The Norwood stage in a title (for example NW 3 or NW 6) shows how advanced the hair loss was before surgery, where it is given.
- Photos, where a thread has them, show one person’s own result at the time it was posted. They are not a controlled comparison.
- Ask your own surgeon what is realistic for your donor hair and your pattern of loss.
How to read these cases
- Grafts: the number of grafts the poster reports. More grafts do not mean a better result; density and design matter too.
- Technique: FUE takes grafts one by one, FUT takes a strip of donor skin. DHI and implanter-pen methods place the grafts with a pen-style tool. Beard or body hair can be added as a donor source when scalp donor hair is limited.
- Norwood (NW): a scale of male pattern hair loss from 1 to 7. Higher numbers mean more hair loss.
- Result shown: the follow-up time given in the title, where there is one.
