Cerone 60 It's easy for you to say that, but I'm sure you wouldn't if the shoe was on the other foot. I had my donor overharvested, poor growth, misplaced grafts! Whilst I can appreciate poor growth from a HT, grafts wrongly angled and donor areas destroyed is unacceptable People who opt to have surgery already have issues with their hair, with this added makes the situation a hell of a lot worse. From memory there are about 15 or so patients from this forum who have been dissapointed in Doganay over the last year or 2. I am aware of at least 2 more that do not post on here. I'm sure there aren't many of the other docs on here which have such a bad record in such a time. Glad yours worked out, so sod the rest hey!

Exactly the info I am after, after Doganays techs ruined my donor!

I would like David the moderator to clarify his comments "Again if you take time to review the many listed complaints. Many just dont hold water at this point in time" Are you referring to the complaints listed by about 15 different memebers or the complaints listed by Paleo? Id be very dissapointed if its the former. Whilst Paleos comments are very concerning, ultimately he could end up with a good result, but looking at the work I believe this is unlikely.

This seems to be happening too many times with this doc, it has a all too similar ring to my HT :- The rushing about Joking around Tranporting techs to different clinics A few second flick through the hair to see if ok (I spent 1.5 hours with Saifi before hand) Poor donor work Poor growth Having said this 4 months is way too early to evaluate and you do have time on your side, you never know it could just work out for you. As above I had a very similar situation to you but unfortunately in my case the supposed shock loss didn't work it self out so It was overharvesting by Doganay's techs. I had very poor growth and of the 50% that did grow I'd say are misplaced grafts. I also had doubles in the hairline. I went back to Saifi who removed some of the grafts and replaced. Keep us updated and I really hope it works out for you.

Seems to be great work by Saifi again. Great approach. Rarely seems to get any recognition on here, but thats probably because he's not a paying member. Good luck and I hope you get good growth, Im sure you will. I may be back with him for a final ht in the new year. Head and shoulders above my experience with Doganay! Look forward to the updates.

They have got greedy and are a production line with no personal touch. Dr Ayhan is fake, doesnt care about his clients and picked me up in scruffy jeans and t shirt smoking a fag!! Not the best of first impressions, but I went with it due to this site. Hairloss affects some people badly and things like this makes the situation a whole lot worse. Feel fore you mate. Go to a top doc for repair and look for the possibility of SMP for the donor. If money is an issue, I strongly recommend Dr Saifi in Poland. Top bloke, ethical, nice place and everthying AHD clinic is not!!!!

I think his techs need sacking!!! They destroyed my donor and i had a crap result . Of the hairs that did grow, some are in the wrong direction. So now im paranoid when someone walks behind me as my donor is worse than my hair on top. Too many bad stories from this doc!!!! Biggest mistake of my life!!!

mklDK - I'm not overly convinced on the lasercomb to be honest, not in terms of growth. It may assist with recovery, I dont know. I did recover very well from my HTs with Saifi, but I did not have huge sessions. 1650 & 1250 respectively. I will say that I did have very good results and I would certainly recommend Saifi as a HT surgeon. I have also had a procedure with Hakan Doganay for 2134 grafts but was left very disappointed with the growth and resulting donor area. Good luck in whatever you choose

Hi It wasn't the actual surgeon who was rushing around, he only did the placing of the grafts, with the implanter the place and incisions are done at the same time. It was more his partner and the techs. I will say they have been very good with responses and they have obviously offered a refund, but as you say I'm not fussed about the money... I wanted more hair. Haiwreare - I would of thought all leading clinics would / should only operate on 1 patient per day. I'm not saying they are not, but I got the distinct impression they are, as some of the techs were being transported to different places as they use a few different clinics to do the work. I was in the car with them at the time and also when they were picking up and dropping off other patients. I will confirm they have been good really for the after care, but I'm just not happy about the result and that's ultimately how you judge.

Before. Originally told they couldn't take any grafts under my scar as it was too thin, but they went ahead when they saw me in person

Please see donor pics attached

Hi Just for clarity, they didnt tell me not to post, just not to say theyd given a refund. In terms of what went wrong, who knows. Everything was being done at a frantic pace and I have a Strong feeling they are doing more than 1 even 2 patients a day. I will say they were quick with replies to say sorry although no answers as to why they think it went wrong Justjax - should of gone back to Saifi, no questions, a mistake on my behalf. I chose Doganay as he was recommended on here , in my price range, and agreesive in terms of grafts.

Hi I have had 2 HTs with him and cannot recommend him highly enough, both my FUE &FUT turned out very good. Any questions let me know I am going back to him in 2 weeks time!!

Hi All, I've been very quiet on here recently. Unfortunately my HT was a failure and the reason for me not posting was because I was in discussions with the clinic and I didn't want to put a possible refund in jeopardy. I have since had a refund by the clinic but I cannot help but feel angry as I now look worse than I did previously. To add to this my donor area has been severely compromised (can clearly see the extraction line) So much so I now need SMP to sort. Initially I hoped this was shockloss, but its still no different 13 months on! The few hairs that did grow are poorly angled and situated well in front of my hair line and I am now in a position where I have to go back to my original surgeon (DR Saifi) to get these removed. I have been in contact with a few guys from the UK who have used this clinic, some from this site and I am yet to find anyone who is satisfied. I’m not saying there aren’t any of course. All in all, this has been a disaster from start to finish. I will post some photos a bit later, but unfortunately the clinic lost my post op photos, so I only have a few pre-ops and of course photos from the situation now. I’m going back to Dr Saifi on the 6th November for a repair and further work on my scar. Why on earth I just didn't go back to him in the first instance I'll never know!! I do feel bad as the clinic did ask me not to say anything and I have gone back on my word, however, I am just so angry and this has affected me in a big way psychologically and I just want to warn any potential patients. Obviously they must have something to be recommended on here, but may be I & those I have talked to could just of been unlucky. However, I cant help bust notice most of their good results appear to come from the clinic themselves, rather than patients directly. I was so close to finally being sorted and achieving my hair restoration goals, now it’s a massive step backwards!!! 2134 grafts I’ll never get back!

Hi Dentan, I decided against Saifi on this occasion as I wanted to try an alternative surgeon. However, do not let this put you off at all as I admire Dr Saifi very much as a surgeon and a person. I just felt that with FUE he was a little conservative with regards to the number of grafts he would do, where as Hakan Doganay was prepared to do more and I felt was better equip for larger sessions. I had fantastic results with Saifi so wouldn't hesitate in recommending him!
