I am considering an FUE procedure with Dr Erdogan or Dr Doganay as I live in Turkey.
I have met Dr Koray Erdogan and both his team and he are extremely charming people. His photos appear to show that he has great skill. However, much (most) of the procedure is performed by technicians
Like all of you, I want to be absolutely sure before making such a huge emotional and financial commitment. So I would like to know:
Why exactly is everyone jumping on the Erdogan bandwagon lately?
Is it because they have concrete proof of his skills (by which I don't mean before and after photos that have been selected by the clinic), but testimonies by people who have actually had surgery there?
I haven't yet asked to be provided with contact details of ex-patients, but even if I had, I would imagine that only those of successful patients would be given.
So on what basis are so many of you coming to the conclusion that Dr Koray (or any other surgeon) really is one of the best, especially given that technicians perform most of the procedure?
For authenticity, I believe that clinics should post daily or weekly pics on forums of the patients they have operated on that day, and then we can follow the progress of that patient and get a realistic idea of the success rate of a given clinic or procedure. I realise that many patients travel for their procedures so we would be relying on them to provide the clinics with post-op photos.
Sorry for the rambling post, but would appreciate any information before taking the plunge.
