So started at 9 finished at 6. Unfortunately, i could only get about 2800 - to add to the front and middle.

Anymore and it would have been out of the safe zone. So i will just have to wear my hear short from now on. Dr Doganay wanted to make sure I knew that I i would still be be bald on crown - and i realistic -which i was.....but all in all, great staff, friendly, professional, went out of their way to make sure i was happy with hotel, etc. pics soon

Yeah, I went to my bank and took out Euros: Large bills (500's). Long flight: Toronto to Frankfurt. Frankfurt to Istanbul. Istanbul to Antalya. Just made my flight from Istanbul to Antalya - not a good experience at Istanbul Airport: Not many speak english, i was directed into 2 wrong line ups: So give yourself a little extra time

I was picked up by a Didem who works at the clinic and driven to the hotel:

I'm up a little early- my surgery is in a few hours. So, I will discuss with the dr and his assistant the plan of attack. I shaved my head using a 3 - a few days ago.

I am an nw5 - after sending pics to the dr he said i could get 4 to 5000 - but i have a feeling it won't be that much -we'll see (and my beard or lack thereof isn't an option)

To be continued....

,

Yup. I know H&W are great. BUT, i did not want to deal with the scar. Longer recovery (until the scar is completely un-noticeable) and too many what if's concerning the scar.

I will be flying in from T.O as well. Toronto to Frankfurt Frankfurt to Istanbul. Istanbul to Antalya.

Then direct home from Istanbul.

I will keep write about my ordeal and post pics.

I will be traveling to Turkey for a date with Dr Hakan Doganay on Dec 19-20. Hoping to get at least 4000 grafts FUE.

I am an NW5 and originally had dates booked with H&W (who were very accommodating) but did not want to deal with the scar and the longer recovery time.

I will try and keep everyone updated with pics.

My flight from Toronto goes to Istanbul then connecting to Antalya....900 bux, not cheap but not that expensive

I am seeing Dr Hakan in Dec and am from Canada? What airline(s) are you flying there with? And how are you getting to Antalya? Sorry don't mean to hijack the thread!

Personally, I just haven't seen enough of Bhatti's results.

Thanks once again for writing in & good luck for the procedure.

Did you try reseraching Dr. Bhatti for FUE?

I did, even had a skpe consullt with Dr Bhatti, very capable, him but I felt more comfortable with Dr Hakan Doganay only because he has more documented higher FUE cases. Good luck to you as well!!

All things considered your hair loss is not that bad. 3000 grafts should help you quite a bit. You're doing yourself right be getting consults: Rahal, Konior, H&W all good stalwarts of FUT. As for Dr Radha, she is

recommended on this site and that makes her legit. Yes, she is much cheaper. You'll just have to consider the travel etc.

I even had her and H&W on my ever changing list because I couldn't decide between FUT and FUE AND I need 4000 plus grafts. But i decided to go with Dr Hakan Doganay for FUE….

So bottom line, between Rahal and Radha there is no wrong choice. And if money is a big obstacle for you, (which in reality has to be considered) I'd go with Radha.

My two cents

Bloody hell, he is completely changed. Great work Dr.

Even though I have haven't had a HT with him, I too have been in contact with him and his rep and have scheduled a HT for DEC. They both have always replied and answered all my questions. More importantly, I have researched his work for months and his results speak for themselves. I think you've made a wise choice and are in good hands.

w

This is a good question. Because the majority of people who get HT do travel. And many travel the day after their HT before the swelling sets in. I would think, as abcd mentioned, FUT would be obviously less comfortable than FUT. But it would be great to hear from more people about their travel experience after getting a HT.

When in doubt always trust mom. Thanks for the pics. And answering my questions.

The change is awesome. You must be stoked.

Almost forgot do you have pictures of the back and top (at the back) I am very interested in Dr Wong's results and by all accounts they're the usual high standard.

cheers, w

Looking good. You've made a ton of progress since ur last update. Good on ya.

Curious, Who took ur stitches out? And how long did it take for the scar to heal and your hair to hide it from anyone at work?

Happy growing?

Hi Dr Doganay

I sent my pictures to you a few months ago and have tentatively booked time this December.

Mustafa is sending you new pics with a few questions. Looking forward to my operation.

I am in the same boat of you for the most part trying to decide between H&W or Dr Radha. Both are great.

And both are world class. Yes, H & W or Rahal have more results and a great track record. But I would not rule out Dr Rahda.

She has been producing some great results. And can stand on her own.

My comment is that 7000 Grafts is a lot of grafts w/ Dr Radha. Is this in two sessions?

It seems very optimistic to me. Did Dr Radha say you have 7000 Grafts available? For me,

I'd go with whatever doctor you think best chance of success.

w

Thanks for replying. Makes sense. I'll need to do a few more consults, too.

One thing to keep in mind. Dr Erdogan does charge 20% tax on the final price unless you

pay in cash. But his FUE work is among the best out there, so well worth it without a doubt.

I mean Demirsoy.

Great write-up.

Looking good so far. Thanks for posting. Dr Demisroy is not too well known on this forum by some, so it's good to see posts with his work. Keep those updates coming.

I know losing hair isn't funny business.

I myself am an NW5 and trying to decide between FUE and FUT, but this thread is one of the f***'n funniest threads I've read in a long time. Sam1870 you certainly have a style all your own (and i mean that in that in a good way) We now resume our regular scheduled foruming

I will be hopefully under your care in December. Great results.

W

Yup,

I know there are many great FUT Drs, Konior, Ferudini, Rahal, even Basinga, also Hattingen has been consistently producing great results (not on this forum) But, i was hoping anyone who has been to Dr Radha Rani may chime in.

Thanks for replying

cheers,

w

Not quite sure I understand your post. I have done a lot of research, and as i mentioned I know H&W is world class. I am not comparing them. I am just asking for member's input.

And I actually don't feel sorry for mentioning Dr Rani in the same post as H&W because now

that she is a recommended dr on this forum, perhaps she has earned that right. Perhaps she hasn't. But, that's what forums like this are meant for - to discuss. But I appreciate your opinions - no doubt I'm sure many will agree with you.

Cheers,
