From Boardroom to Full Bloom: Jeremie’s Hair Transplant Journey
Jeremie, a 47-year-old marketing executive from Chicago, Illinois, had built a career on confidence, clarity, and presence. In the boardroom, he was sharp and persuasive. Outside of it, however, he carried a growing insecurity—progressive hair loss that had become impossible to ignore.
“I started losing my hair in my late 30s,” Jeremie explains. “At first, it was subtle. But by my mid-40s, the thinning crown and receding hairline were obvious. I felt like I looked older than I was, and that feeling slowly crept into my professional confidence.”
Despite trying topical solutions and researching non-surgical alternatives, Jeremie knew he wanted a permanent, natural solution. That search eventually led him to consider a hair transplant in Turkey, a destination increasingly recognized for advanced techniques and reliable results.
Why Hair Transplant in Turkey? Researching the Best Clinic
Approaching the decision analytically, Jeremie compared clinics across the United States and Europe. What stood out was Turkey’s leadership in modern hair restoration—particularly in terms of surgeon experience, technology, and results.
“I spent months reviewing hair transplant before and after photos, reading medical articles, and comparing outcomes,” he says. “Time and again, one clinic kept appearing at the top.”
That clinic was Dr. Serkan Aygin Clinic, internationally known for high-graft procedures and natural hairline design.
Beyond reputation, Turkey also offered a significantly more accessible hair transplant cost compared to the U.S., without compromising medical standards.
After an online consultation and photo evaluation, Jeremie received a personalized treatment plan:
- 3,700 graft hair transplant
- Coverage of hairline + crown
- Sapphire FUE technique for precision and faster healing

Hair Transplant Before and After: Jeremie’s Results
Hair transplant results develop gradually, and Jeremie’s transformation followed the classic growth timeline.
Month-by-Month Progress
- Months 0–3: Redness subsided, followed by temporary shock loss (a normal phase)
- Months 4–6: New hairs began emerging along the hairline and crown
- Months 7–10: Significant thickening and visible density improvement
- 12 Months: Full, natural hairline and restored crown density
“Seeing my hair transplant before and after photos still surprises me,” Jeremie says.
“It’s not just about hair—it’s about how I carry myself again. I feel like myself, only younger.”
FAQs
Is 47 too old for a hair transplant?
No. Age is far less important than donor hair quality and overall health. Jeremie’s case shows that excellent results are achievable well into your 40s and beyond.
How long does recovery take?
Most patients return to light work within a few days. Many professionals prefer taking 7–10 days off for comfort and discretion.
Will transplanted hair fall out again?
Transplanted hair follicles are generally resistant to the hormone responsible for male pattern hair loss. With proper aftercare and ongoing medical follow-up, they typically continue growing long-term.
What is the difference between FUE and DHI?
FUE involves opening channels before graft placement, while DHI implants grafts directly using a Choi pen. In Jeremie’s case, Sapphire FUE was ideal for achieving natural density across both the hairline and crown.
