Turkey?

Yes, best quality/cost ratio especially if you are european just dont try to save too much on a serious surgery.

Transplanted hairs are annoying? I mean, do you feel them growing?

Obviously you don't feel the ones you already have growing, but what about the transplanted ones?

Not sure I get what you mean but once they become "yours" in the new area, they dont feel any differently in terms of sensitivity.

The real issue is the shockloss they experience the following weeks, they basically fall down while the follicles adjust.

Then you have hair growing at different speed so you have some growing faster and harder while others are soft and weak and are gonna need weeks to fully catch up.

Keep in mind that the first couple of weeks you mostly have crusts on the receiving area therefore you wont see them for those days.

Also what people dont generally know is that the first days after the operation you are forced to sleep belly up with a special pillow cause you have to protect the area where the hair are implanted.

Did it hurt?

I heard that in the hairline area, where it recedes, you have to keep maintaining it, or it looks weird.
