Please find attached my 10 month post op pictures with the pre op pics to compare. Im very please with the results so far, obviously the crown takes longer to fully regrow and thicken up and I wont see the final results untill 18 months post op which will be July 2016. But so far so good and Im very happy Dr Hakan and the team have been in constant support and provided reassurance every step of the way. January (when I ahd the operation) seems a long way off now and I remember thinking how good I would feel if the operation was successful and that is the case. I now no longer feel the need to wear hats at the gym and walking the dog. My confidence has increased ten-fold. I ditched my cover up routine using Nanogen back in May and haven't looked back since. A big thumbs up to Muslum, Dr Hakan and the team , keep up the good work guys, and as mentioned I would highly recommend treatment and service !

thanks mate , id like to think so I do have fine hair though so need to be realistic, But looking good thus.

Its now 6 months since I visted the fantastic clinic in Antalaya, results so far are looking very promising. Muslim from the clinic has been in contact regularly to check on progress and offer any support and advice needed, and I would like to thank him and the clinic for there first class and professional service. Hopefully the growth continues but looking at current rate its very very promising First picture is 6 months post op second picture is pre op third picture is post op

Four months post operation and startuing to see promising growth fingers crossed it continues....Muslim from the clinic has been in regular contact to check progress and offer support and advice which has been greatly apprecited and reassuring. Further updates to follow

good luck mate keep us posted just had my HT on Jan 5th with Dr Hakan and the team and I echo your sentiments about the clinic ! What ae the big 3 ?? ;-)

I had an operation on 5th Jan pal and I was completely conscious throughout , my experience was very favorable and the staff and clinic top class. Obviously its too early to speak about results but all looks good thus far, obviously with any surgery there are no guarantees. Hope this helps

Looking good delboy, great write up ! Takes me back to last week when I was there for my HT... I had the same emotions and experience . I echo your sentiments about the clinic , the staff Muslum and Dr Hakan was as you described , also Muslum has responded very quickly with any questions I have had since returning to UK. All in all a very positive experience for us both !!! Looking forward to seeing how we both progress. PS - Good move staying at the airport , I missed my flight due to travel issues 2 weeks prior !

Hey Buddy Sorry to see your not satisfied with the results, having just had my HT with Dr Hakan one week ago I have read through the whole thread with interest. From what I can can gather from reading the thread there seems to be an entire mix of opinion which had me confused at times. I wasnt knocked out for the procedure and Dr Hakan did leave the room on a couple of occasions for comfort breaks I was aware of this and the assistants carried on which I was glad about as it kept the procedure flowing (harvested hair were not left around for too long) and made for a speedir procedure, im assuming he would only allow experienced trained staff to continue as it is his reputation at stake. Your graph number is just over double mine and mine took just over 3.5 hours . Up to now the clinic has been great and I had less graphs than was originally quoted & they did say on leaving that if I had any concerns after 12 months then they would happily discuss and offer a solution. Have you seen anyone else with a similar pattern that has had same graphs and yielded better results ? From pictures its hard to tell but what in terms of a percentage do you think you have acquired, from my documentation it says 85%-95% after 12 months ? Here hoping for a big spurt on growth for next 8 weeks and a good resolution the the clinic.

+1 for Dr Hakan

Photo taken today outside one week post op , dosnt look very nice but seems to be healing well. still applying lotion and washing at least 3 times a day.

looking really good you muxt be buzzing and great updates/photos !

Hi guys Firstly wanted to say thanks to this forum for providing an honest and useful resource in helping me make an informed choice regarding my hair transplant. I must say at times the research can become overwhelming and confusing. I guess like any surgery cosmetic or otherwise there is no guarantee of success so its important to do the research and make an informed choice. Following much deliberation and research I decided on Dr Hakan Doganay. He had a good track record despite some negative reviews (which were not really quantified) and the response time from the clinic (Muslum) was prompt and informative. I liked the fact that Dr Dogany performed the implanting himself and the CHOI implanting tool seemed like a good option due as ability to make smaller incisions resulting in quicker recovery. Im from the UK and having missed my flight two weeks earlier due to a vehicle problem with my arranged lift (thankfully the AHD team were understanding) I was very relieved to arrive safely in Turkey on Sunday 4th Jan. I was met at the airport by Didem and taken to the private hospital and shown to my room. I liked the fact that the whole procedure and where I would stay was under one roof and I also found it reassuring that I was in an actual private hospital. Didem arranged for a meal to be sent to the room as it was around 9pm. I was woken in the morning by nurses who took my blood, after breakfast Didem took me down to meet the doctor for my consultation. After meeting Muslum , Dr Hakan arrived and despite not speaking fluent english I was impressed by his warm professional demeanor. This was not an issue as both Muslum and Didem were always on hand where needed. After consultation he determined that I would not require the 2000 graphs originally quoted in the online consultation and that around 1500 would suffice. This was pleasing and gave light and reassurance to the fact that the clinic was there to provide a good service and not just make money. Following the consultation the before pictures were taken and two strips were shaven on the back of my head for the donor area. As I have longer hair the strips can not be seen when my hair flaps back over them. I was then taken into the procedure room where there is a large team of nurses that support the doctor for the procedure. Dr Hakan then used a local anesthetic for the donor and recipitent sites, the initial injections were a bit uncomfortable but pain was bearable. This was the only pain I felt throughout the procedure. Dr Hakan made sure at intervals I was OK and comfortable. I then laid face down and the nurses set about carrying out the extractions which took just over an hour for 1500 graphs. Following the extractions after a toilet break and an orange juice and cake Dr Hakan carried out the implanting procedure along with 4 nurses loading the pens . At the end of the operation Dr Hakan asked me if I would like the lower thinning area (see pics) also filled and a further 270 graphs were extracted and implanted. From start to finish the whole procedure lasted about 4 hours. I was then cleaned up and taken back to my room, which I was glad was only a short walk from the procedure room. I then rested up ate, slept and took advantage of the free wifi until the next day. I did experience some mild pain which was alleviated by painkiller supplied. After breakfast I was taken down to the clinic by Muslum and Dr Hakan inspected the recipient area and was pleased with the result. I was then given the fisrt wash with the nurse and shown how to apply the lotion and correctly wash the hair 15 mins afterwards. Muslum then provided me with the post op meds along with instructions. a little later I was taken to the airport to get my flight. All in all im very pleased with experience from first contact with the clinic and my visit from start to finish. I found Dr Hakan and his staff both professional , warm and friendly and I felt instantly at ease. Obviously as with any surgery results are not guaranteed but I feel that a great job has been carried out so far, and now hope the outcome is successful. (fingers crossed) . What was also reassuring is that Muslum said if I was not happy with the result to contact them after 12 months where they would happily discuss review and offer a solution. That in itself along with the reduced graphs that were originally quoted is reassuring and speaks volumes for the clinic to me. I will update progress with pictures throughout the year and have attached the before and post op pictures. Any feedback most welcome or questions please do not hesitate to ask
