looks great, another procedure and you will have even better density, I am now hopeful about to Book with Miral.

- I might be eating my words in the next few months. :-)

I mean Maral Hair Klinik my error

my error I mean "Miral Klinic" :-) thanks

Looks nice and even but why have they taken donors from so HIGH up in the lower part of crown, I do find it extraordinary that the donors are from so high up on base of crown, I would have thought that this area in future will lose hair also...?

Im starting this new thread to get more info on Maral Klinic Istanbul - Does any one have good photos, video or anything at all about Maral klinic Turkey. They are offering great prices, but I wish to see and more importantly hear about excellent results FUE. I am about to go for FUE and have 3 Clinics in mind currently, Erdogan, Doganay and (Maral Asmed Istanbul because of price) Ive seen some work from Maral, looks ok...but! and P.S I have had two extremely different opinions on the success rate of beard hair and its viability. No names but. 1 Surgeon says Beard is no problem for transplant and will be successful 1500-2500 can be harvested. 2. The other surgeon says that it is not advisable and many donor hairs from beard may die and that it leaves noticeable scaring and does not recommend it.... HELP !!! I really need some independent help, advice, guidance photos etc Many many thanks for all responses.

This hairline in above photos looks very acceptable.. I wish I had it:-)

How do you plan to get rid fo those front line hairs lower down??

Why am I hearing that beard donor is not a good idea?

I might reconsider. I am more inclined to have a surgeon reconstruct the front hairline and possibly consider assistants to to the remainder. This then may mean going to 2 different surgeons in Turkey. I like the idea of Hakan or Erdogan for the front and Maral Klinik for the remainder. I'm thinking out loud, but trying to balance costs at the same time.

Update as above - -Ohh and he did tell me that he had MANY people complaining and said he was under pressure with the new clinic which should settle down soon....

Thanks, kinda worried me a little for the lack of response but seems to have been resolved now...

Dear Mr.*********, (subject to agreement) Dr.Koray is planing possible maximum graft number according to your donor capacity he will decide the final number on live consultation (minimum 3000 - maximum 3500grafts ) MSP is not recommended before the operation but possible after 6 months but Dr.Koray is planning tricopigmentation over your FUT scars one day after the operation.You have to stay minimum 3 nights in Istanbul.Doctor wants to do live consultation one day before the operation at 13:00 ; so you have to landed before 11:00 to catch the consultation on time if you should be after 16:00 p.m on the same day(or you may stay one more night). want to do them on the same day or you may come one day earlier (4 nights). As Doctor is using manuel punch for extraction; the operation will take 2 days for 3500 grafts (1.day: 1750 grafts + 2.day :1750 grafts).Separation of grafts will be decided on the consultation together with you.(According to your photos 2000 grafts frontline and midline and 1500 grafts for vertex). Doctor wants to control the operation on the third day after your first wash of your hair. Tricopigmentation is also planning on the third day.So your flight departure

OK, I have received a call from Dr. Koray Erdogan discussing potential procedures. He is very busy but was cordial and informative about my position. This has calmed me down a little. we discussed corrective procedures and he was confident that he firstly could resolve any issues with bad implants and do a good joob on corrective surgery moving forward to more procedures for covering the balding areas. He also said his new clinic is open for business.

New Clinic looks great... however, if I'm going to spend 10,000+ I expect super and reliable comms. Maybe some of the money spent on the cafe should have been spent on a decent email system. I run 5 different business with different emails and still I make sure all my customers are instantly responded to if they have inquiries...New clinics, New email systems, whatever it is, they should be more focused on communication especially during this delicate time of new clinics. Customers need 110% reliable communication. We are not buying potatoes from a super market, this hair restoration is probably one of the most delicate and important cosmetic procedures that anyone could ever have and when confidence is broken because it takes 3 weeks to get a mere response is not good enough. I hope the communication is improved dramatically. Attention to serious and reliable communications is the key to customers confidence. From Dr. Koray Erdogan Website Welcome I am happy to invite you to my newly revised website.The internet has made many peoples life easier. With instant access to a variety information and sources, research becomes much easier when trying to make an informed decision on an important subject. * FUT FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation) took its name from a journal paper published by a group of hair surgeons in 1998, even though it started with microscopic dissection methods by Dr. Bobby Limmer that took place in 1988. It is still accepted as the “golden standard” of the hair surgery techniques in the hair surgery congresses] I had my FUT in 1995 by Dr Schory, (Lathams) Huntsville Alabama... was called Micro/mini grafts then, but still cut hair in one section from back of head and disectedt eh grafts to Mini=3-4 hair/micro1-2 hairs. Certainly seems surgery has come a long way since then (although my procedures with Dr Schory are not terrible at all, he had to correct Frankensteins work 1991 (Dr May London - Slit grafts) as well as implant more hair), new techniques have advanced and this is why I am concerned about good communication for people like me who need corrective surgery and further procedures. in my case I was told that I don't have enough elasticity in the back of my donor and so FUE is likely to be more preferable (Head and Beard).... Hence inquiries with Dr. Koray Erdogan and others.

I will not add any more info on my disappointment apart from this after I had sent several emails of disappointment. Having received this email this evening. So maybe there is some light at the end of this inquiry....I intend to speak wtih Dr. Koray Erdogan directly. I intend to end this thread. Hi.... We have just moved our clinic and having some problems by new ticketing system that will help us for answering emails like yours in a regular way.Probably you are getting automatic answer again and again by mistake.I am sorry for this.Please send me your telephone number so I can personally call you to give you the right information from first mouth.I want to ask some questions about your situation as your case is a bit complicated. Best Regards Dr. Koray Erdogan ]

I'M NOT HAPPY: I sent an email to Dr. Koray ERDOGAN - -I got this reply in first instance on 20/09/2013 12:03. "Dear Mr. (not even a name) Thank you for your e-mail and interest to our clinic. Please do send 3 clear photos including your donor ( one from front, one from top and one from back side / donor area) of yours with your telephone number so Dr. Koray ERDOGAN could share his professional opinion with you. Best Regards, Secretary -Pinar G. Asmed/Istanbul-TURKEY" I've since sent 5 or so emails with images from 20/09/2013 12:03. As of to date I have not received 1 reply from Dr. Koray ERDOGAN or secretary. I am extremely disappointed and feel as though I do not even wish to follow my inquiries up with them now. Very disappointing.
