I am a 25 years old guy from India. Recently, I got my hair transplant by Dr. Cinik from Istanbul. Firstly, it took a lot of courage to think about getting the transplant done since I was traveling alone and it was a big step for someone my age. But once I met Dr. Cinik, my perception completely changed.

Dr. Cinik is really cool and calm guy. Initially, I was a bit afraid about the transplant, but due to his attitude and confidence I felt comfortable to go ahead with the procedure. In fact, he responds quite quickly to whatever queries I had and assured me that things would be fine and kept up to his word. Since I workout in the gym quite often, he even instructed me on what supplements I could use and provided scientific justification for each. I can't appreciate him enough for all the support he is providing even after having 100's of patients. I sincerely thank him for his commitment towards the patients. I strongly believe, while getting a cosmetic surgery it is very important for having the right mindset, and Dr. Cinik gets you in that aura.



Furthermore, I would like to take this opportunity on answering any questions related to the hair transplant with Dr. Cinik and the overall experience and/ or cost related issues. Before I went for the transplant, I did a lot of research, and I do not think it is possible to get a better price for the transplant with maximum grafts. In any case, I will update my pictures and how my transplant works out regularly. Cheers!!

how many grafts?
how much?

It's being great to hear about your story...

1990 euros, I had 3800 grafts in total from back of the head- 2500, beard- 800 and Chest- 500. Also, the price is fixed irrespective of the number of grafts. For example, if they can extract 4000 above, the price will still remain the same, inclusive of everything. Dr. Cinik will provide you with his own shampoo as well and this is also included in the price.

Thank you Sir. I appreciate your acknowledgment.

adigo,

Welcome to our community and thank you for sharing your experience. The photos you presented, I see marker lines so I assume the photos you presented are before pictures? Do you have any after photos, at least immediately post-ops since it sounds like you just had the procedure.

I am not familiar with your doctor but I look forward to learning more.

Best wishes,

Bill

Hello Bill,


Thank you for your greetings. Yes the photos I presented are before the hair surgery, but along with it I have posted one picture immediately after post- op. In any case, if you are not able to view it, do let me know and I shall post it again. Also, I shall update my pictures after a week. But as of now, my head is in the healing phase.

Hi Aditya,

Thanks for sharing. Looking forward to your new pictures. What made you decide to have your HT in Istanbul?

Thanks

Hi Ozzy,


Its my pleasure to share my experience. The question you ask is an important one, following are the reasons:


1. Currently, I am studying in Europe doing my masters and the location of Istanbul being quite close was a big factor in selecting it.
2. You may ask, why not in Europe? But as of now the minimum quotation in Europe I could obtain was anywhere between 2600- 3000 euros for 2000 grafts. In Istanbul, they were offering a better price ( 2000 euros) for maximum number of grafts, which in my case is 3800 grafts. Plus, Dr. Cinik's price included a 2 night stay at a 4 star hotel in Istanbul. Plus, you get the shampoo, free PRP included (multiple sessions) and also a 10 year guarantee certificate that in case the transplant went wrong, he would do the surgery for free. I don't think you can get this price while not compromising on quality anywhere else in the world.
3. You would also reason that the hair transplant would be much cheaper in India, yes it maybe cheaper, but the cost to go and come back would add 600-700 euros more, which was not an option even in the first place. I planned well in advance and I got a return ticket from Rome to Istanbul for 100 euros both ways.
4. Istanbul is the hub for hair transplant surgery and it has really good quality, so for sure it is a great value for money.
5. Lastly, as I see you are from Belgium, if you consider getting the HT done, Istanbul is the place.


If you need anymore information or contact details of the doctor, you can always email me as well. My email ID is adigo91@gmail.com


Hope this helps to answer your question.
