Dr. Sibel Ulusan: A Patient’s 12-Month Review

Patient-reported 12-month review

In the written update, the patient describes December 2020 as the end of a 12-month hair-transplant process with Dr. Sibel Ulusan in Izmir. The patient reports improvement compared with the starting appearance but says the remaining frontal gaps did not meet expectations, rating personal satisfaction at 55–60 out of 100.

What the timeline records

• Before treatment: the patient reports researching clinics for approximately 1–1.5 years.
• Planned dates in the first note: hair transplantation on 5 November and military service on 2 December; that note does not state a year.
• Written follow-up: the patient explicitly describes a 12-month assessment in December 2020.
• Visible photo annotations: selected images carry day-223, day-229, day-232 and day-247 labels, and month-10 and month-11 labels.
• Graft count: not established in the retained written account.

The 12-month description belongs to the written assessment. The different day and month labels belong to the individual images carrying them; they do not establish the capture date of every photograph or make the entire gallery a 12-month photo set.

The satisfaction score is the patient’s own rating. For related context, see our guide to interpreting patient reviews and donor-area guide.

Editorial record check: 19 October 2026. This summary uses the account and photographs retained on this page; it does not independently authenticate surgical records or image capture dates.

Original patient account

The first-person text below is retained as the patient’s historical account, including what the clinic reportedly said about the planned military-service schedule.

Hello valuable forum members.First of all, as a result of my research for 1-1.5 years, I decided to have hair transplantation to Dr Sibel. Yes, there is a little time left for hair transplantation.I will inform you as much as I can about the processes I will go through in order to be useful to friends who will have hair transplantation like you. In the following days, I will upload photos before hair transplantation.But I have such a disadvantage situation.My hair transplantation is on November 5, I am going to the military on December 2.I reported this to the transplantation center

They declared that I would not have any problems after a 15-day period after the transplantation.This is my only concern at the moment.

It’s time for an update again… As of December 2020, my 12-month hair transplant process has been completed. If I evaluate the satisfaction rate over 100 in the process in question, I would give 55-60 points out of 100. Because a person who has decided on hair transplantation more or less imagines and adopts the hair he imagines and plans in his head. As a result, I could not get the hair I imagined and adopted. Of course, the result is not worse than before. There is no doubt about it. There is a pretty good result from my old self. But what I mean is that it did not meet my expectations in my head. You will see the reason in the photo anyway. The gaps in the front part were not filled at the level I wanted. Friends who follow my process know. I expressed that there were gaps and shared photos. Despite this, I get positive thoughts and discourses around me. Because my friends who know my old state are aware of the situation. Therefore, my thoughts are in this direction…
