Oh snap! Bummer to see this. I assume you've sought feedback from the clinic?

The staff member I was dealing with left and I have not heard anything back from

The Repkacement

All they said is I should try to grow my hair long but I told them simply don't have the density to do so

Wow so sorry for your results have you spoken to any other doctors to see if you still have grafts left?

The Doctors have advised me that I have around 3000 Grafts (including Beard Left).

Updated photos at 16 months.

Any Mickeydw, any update on your photos pleasE?

All the very best for your growth.

 

I am also considering Turkey one of the options because of its low cost and good quality surgeons. Can you please tell me what was the total cost of the procedure and per graft price? If you cant give the price here, can you please PM me.

 

Thank you very much.

Hi Babyboy,

Cost of the operation is available online on Hakan Doganays website.

From memory it is 2 euro a transplant with beard being 2.5 euros.

I had 4700 transplants so ended up paying around 9000 euros.

Cheers,

That's great that you are already looking better at just 4 momths. I'm also from Sydney and considering Turkey - please keep us posted as your growth continues over the coming months.

Hi Ersko,

If you need any help with regards your decision making, lemme know.

Thanks Guys,

I will have my next update at the 6 month (say 21st of August). At the moment using Biotin as well as Monoxide.

Really looking forward to good results and hopefully my next transplant.

Hi Attaching the before and after.

Picture is 4 month post HT.

Somedays, I start thinking lots of improvements and some other days, does not look so great.

Being a Norwood V would defo need another transplant, an expectation I was always kept on board .

Hi Busa,

I will be posting some pics soon.

Pain is not a major issue to be honest, I would take 2-3 seconds of pain so long as it gets me the result.

First 3-4 injections are more painful then the effect starts to set in by the 5th-6th injection.

Dr Hakan Doganay – FUE – AHD `Clinic, Antalya

20-22nd February

I travelled from Sydney to Antalya for the FUE Hair transplant expecting at least 4000 grafts.

Prior to that I had shortlisted 5 hair transplant surgeons including one each in Thailand, Pakistan, Australia and Turkey.

However, I choose Dr Hakan Doganay after a thorough research. A month before travelling I decided to speak with the clinic and asked for an English Speaking representative. They gave me representative ‘s number, named Muslum.

Muslim was very friendly and spoke and understood English at a good level.

He explained to be everything including operation, staff, doctor’s details, etc. He also informed me that first 3 nights will be free and the operation will be over 2 days.

I travelled from Sydney to Dubai and then Dubai to Istanbul However the plane had to return back to Dubai due to Snow on the Istanbul airport. Learning outcome: Ensure you keep a buffer of at least a day, so if the operation is on the 20th, try getting to Istanbul by the 18th.

Thankfully I was able to get to AHD at 2 am, 7 hours before the start of the operation.

Doctor Hakan and Representative Muslum understood that I would be tired after so many hours of travelling and gave me 3 extra hours to rest prior to the operation starting.

The operation started at 12 pm on the 21st of February. The doctor and staff were extremely friendly and the hospital was clean.

They gave me around 10 injections in the recipient area, which is the most painful part of the operation. Then the extraction process starts. Apart from being face down being uncomfortable, the friendly staff alongside the soft Turkish music in the background, made things very comfortable for me.

First day around 1400 grafts extracted.

After lunch the punching process started. Again the initial injections are very painful but after than it become quite easy. The operation ended around 5 pm.

Day 2 – 2000 Grafts.

Day 3 – 1200 Grafts (beard)

Sleeping:

Painkillers are important and need to be extremely careful in the first 2-3 days. Use two pillows. I stayed back at the place for 6 days to get the staff to clean the grafts.

Overall around 4700 grafts.

Rating:

1. Hospital Rating 8/10

2. Doctor Rating 10/10

3. Communication (Operational) – 9/10

I could tell that the hospital and staff really care for your results.

Current Situation:

I am almost 2 months into the operation and it is too early to suggest the final outcome. Due to my big area of loss, I may need a second operation and would definitely recommend Dr.Hakan Doganay.

Dr Hakan does the hair line himself and is always around if you have any concerns.

The technicians are also very experienced and hard working and took good care of me.

Medication:

I am using Rogaine alongside Biotin. Using the 10-15 roller for better blood circulation.

Recommendation:

I would strongly recommend AHD Clinic for your operation, please feel free to ask me, I will try replying at least once an month and will post some pictures shortly.
