    This is such a great result.  Fantastic to see it maintain such great density after so long!  I ended up having a small procedure done in Australia given the border restrictions and lockdown but will consider Dr Path for sure if I have to get a top up.  Curious as to when you started to see the growth come through...such a dramatic difference between the week 7 mark and the 7 month mark! 

    I'm currently at the 7 week mark with most of my grafts now shed and also some loss to my existing native hair due to the shock of the HT I believe - so hoping will see the pick up come through like yours post 7 week mark haha

    Where in Aus did you have your surgery man?

  2. Looking great mate! About 18 months ago I believe these were Dr Pekiner's prices:

    Hair transplantation with full shave: 2,25 € / graft

    Hair transplant without shave: 2,75 € / graft

    Also gives a discount of € 0.25 per graft if you allow him to publish your photos

    Are they still the same at this now?

    Cheers

  3. I’m planning to have a HT in Turkey later in the year. Being from Australia, it will be a long trip (over 20 hours each way) and will involve transit stops in one or more asian/middle eastern countries. These could include Singapore, Malaysia, UAE and Qatar.

     

    I don’t want to sound too paranoid, but I have read some extraordinary stories of people being arrested and doing years of jail time for carrying medication through Dubai (even if they are in transit and have a doctor’s prescription). In fact, a number of websites state that it is not safe to take any medicines with you to the UAE and other Gulf countries.

     

    Has anyone ever had any issues carrying painkillers or hair loss medication etc through these regions?

  4. Dear vmoney

     

    For being a half Turkish. I have loads of friends and family members in Istanbul. Yes I do agree that Koray Erdogan is greatest HT surgeon in whole Turkey. A very intelligent international HT figure however his price sometimes is quite high comparing to other surgeons.

     

    My second choice will be Dr. Serkan Aygin. He is extremely talented as I have seen outstanding results face to face. I was surprised and astonished. Almost more than 5 live results. He charges only 1500 Euro and will utilize beard hair as well if necessary for first session.

     

    HARIRI, what are your thoughts on HLC Hairline Clinic and Dr. Ozgur Oztan?

    I'm also surprised to see you rate Dr Serkan Aygin so highly, as I have read some extremely negative things about his clinic on this forum.

  5. Update - I've received a bunch of different opinions and quotes from both Australian and overseas.

     

    The most graphs quoted was approx 3000 from Erdogan, he suggested that I'd need more single and double graphs for a natural hairline due to having thick hair.

     

    Path suggested 2300 graphs, the Australian doctors both suggested less than 2k.

     

    I've decided to go to Erdogan / Turkey based on his FUE technique being one of the best as well as the reviews and pictures I've seen. I'm excited.

     

    Flights are currently on sale for $1050 return so I've booked in for November.

     

    Ricky, Probably a 2A. I was told I have a receding hairline, deep temple area and thinning hair at the U turn area behind the forelock but my coverage on the crown and elsewhere is good. You were right - more than 2k required and I've attached some more photos. When my hair is at a medium length I'm able to disguise the thinning fairly well but it reached a point where it was bothering me so I cut it short.

     

    I will start my own thread when I have the procedure, thanks everyone for the advice, hopefully it is successful.

     

    As already said great decision going with Dr Erdogan...definitely one of the best FUE surgeons in the world. Best of luck and keep us updated with your progress.

  6. My opinion is that you should avoid having a HT in Aus at all costs. Incredibly expensive and more likely than not, the quality of the result will not be as good as it could have been. Search these forums and do some further research online about HTs in Australia and I'm sure you will come to the same conclusion.

    Travelling to to see Dr Path (or another recommended doctor) is a much much better option.
