Hey Mikey,

Thanks, i hope so No resolution with Hakan. I didnt go to the office as i decided it was stress i didnt need with my Asmed surgery. I have emailed him and he replied being really abusive...

i will continue to post this thread under his posts when i see them...

Ive just completed my 2nd surgery with Asmed (3000 grafts more), all seems well so far. Here are my 11 month pics before and after surgery.

Only difference between this one and the last one was they didnt do PRP this time, I was a bit worried that we didnt do it but they said i didnt need it... The facilatator this time, Susana, was very helpful as well.

Hi folks,

So I'm going back to Turkey January 23rd to get 3000 more grafts done by Dr koray. I contacted hakan again and asked for my money back. He said no. I said I will be outside his new clinic is Istanbul with photos and printed versions of my story unless he give me my money back. Hakan said he would contact the police and have me arrested and sue me in court. He said my photos were wet and misleading and I told him I have dry and wet pictures and I would see him in court. He said old patients had to go to the clinic in antalya and not Istanbul! He was very rude and aggressive. I said they used beard grafts and left me looking horrific when I had 6000 grafts left! He wouldn't listen....a truely horrific chapter in my life that I am slowly escaping and have optimism. Dr Koray is being attentive to me.

Thank you Brother. Yes i becoming happier with it by the week. Im starting to get back to myself!

The year and half after the first one was hell. Please do NOT go to Hakan Doganay. He will ruin your life!...

I became a recluse and pushed a lot of people away. I really looked stupid and you cant really talk about it with anyone. First world problems! And people in the world have real problems.

Im optimistic about the future.

Thanks folks. Im going back at one year to get the back finished and front slightly brought forward, i think...

On the beard grafts they are all gone and in that pic its only scalp hair. In my opinion i wouldnt use them unless you are desperate. Basically i was conned into using them by the gangster know as hakan doganay.

I would speak to Dr Koray and send him you pics, you may habe more doner than you think. Mention my name and maybe ill get some freebies haha

Hi folks,

Here are my 8 months photos. Getting there ?

Yea i think so as well. What do you think of this one ive drawn on?

Dr Koray said i need to wait until 12 month before extending it. I have enough to cover my patch at the back as well. So thats a result and he is removing the beard grafts that should never have been used. Does anyone know what grade i should be able to shave the sides without anything being noticeable?

My hair at the minute has really thickened up if so im slowly getting happier. Hopefully i escape from the recluse ive turned into because of hakan doganay.

Thanks guys

What do you think of the hairline? Im thinking of bringing it down in center a little bit more(only slightly and more into a V)? What do you

Its been nearly 6 months since my session with Dr Erdogan and im already seeing more growth than my last disaster with Hakan. Still a way to go before i would say im happy but i have optimism this time.

Redemption ? I wouldn't go near him with a barge pole. He messed me life up for nearly two years and wouldn't give me a full refund. The only bits of the surgery he did himself on me is still crap.

In hope you get a good result friend but for anyone else avoid as he is a charlatan.

3 week review-

im starting to shed but still have the majority pf hair, no redness, pimples or bad itching. the shedded hair seems to just be hair 99% of the time, no scabs or attachments. donor area in 100% you would never know.

last time with hakan i had pimples with heads, redness and itching, all hair had shed. most of the shedded hair had attachments that looked like the follicle. donor area had loads of pimples and was very itchy. ive read posts about needles being reused and possibly casuing infections.

ive added a video to youtube on my bad exp with this gangster, please view, my aim is to get the views up so it comes up in youtube as the number 1 video when people search for his name.

search for this in youtube "dr hakan doganay bad result"

Sorry to hear that Johnny2000

here my 9 days post pic, i can say the whole thing had a good vibe, but i will need to wait and see what happens in a few months.

What are your thoughts ?

It was last week on the 6th

Thanks, he seems to have a lot of good recommendations and memberships.

Johnny 2000 I will pm you the name as I don't want to bring them into this now. If you could read and reply to this but not mention the name. I will ask them do they mind and then put he name up.

Hi,

I spent a lot of time before choosing the new surgeon and spoke to the best ones in Europe they all told me from my pictures my donor area was good and when I got the final count in the live consultation they confirmed it.

The doctor I chose has only good reviews and is recommended on this website and many others.

The whole process felt right this time. The last time in hakans clinic i should have trusted my gut.

I'm hoping this will force there hand to give me all of my money back as I have to pay for corrections and they don't deserve a penny.

If you agree with me please email them and show support for me

Thanks

Ps when I say I had a skin head it was a grade 3

Here is my critical review of my experience 18 months on;

consultation.

This lasted 5 minutes and Hakan ran his fingers up my head and told me I had only enough for 2500 grafts and would have to use 1300 beard grafts. I had a "skin head" at the time and remember thinking I always had really thick hair at the sides when it grows and was a bit confused. I was asked to make the decision on the spot and I said if you think it will give me a good result I will go for it. I showed them the picture again of the patient they used as an example who used beard grafts and had a good result and asked would I get the same and they said I should yes. The whole thing was extremely rushed.

Sugery

The techs did all the extractions.

Hakan implanted about 1000 of the normal fue on day one using his left hand to implant one and his right to implant the other. two hands implanting at once. Very rushed. When he was finished his part he disappeared. On the beard graft day 2 techs did all of the work.

Result

I knew after five months I wasn't going to get a good result and I was right. All of the covered areas still weak and patchy and clearly visibile beard grafts from native hair as other is weak. Also they said the beard grafts are only used in the vertex. I can see beard grafts in my vertex but running all the way to my hairline. I'm not happy with my hairline either and because it's patchy looks a bit unnatural.

Hakan first said I could probably get 800 more fue normal in the future if it healed well. When I wasn't happy with the result they said use the 800 at the front and fill the rest in with beard grafts. I said no i didn't want a head full of beard grafts ! They are disgusting on the head and i regret being stupid and me believing them otherwise.

They offered my 50% of my money back as they said they werent happy with the denisty and i took it.

Two months after i sent pics of my donor area grown out to Hakan after the online consultation with the new surgeon, i said the new surgeon told me i had good donor left then hakan said I should have 2000 more there now, an increase from 800 and clear evidence a proper count was taken at consultation and beard grafts would have had to be used. They said they would implant the 2000 and remove the beard grafts if I wanted later on. They just throw out ball park figures without taking a proper count and I think they push beard grafts as it's more expensive and easier to use, meaning techs can do it. I'm disgusted, in my opinion they are either incompetent or gangsters.

Last week I had a face to face consultation with a surgeon with better recomndations and he said I have around 6000 normal hair left!! after getting the computer to analyse my donor area and he didn't know why beard was used... he asked me was it more expensive to use beard grafts and I said yes and implied this is why it was used...I have just had 3000 grafts completed and they were used to correct the front. The surgeon said the growth rate from my first 3800 was very poor and almost looked like nothing was really done and the nurse said there were misplaced grafts as they don't grow the same direction as the rest. The vibe with this surgeon is really good compared to ahd, with Hakan it's just off and I should have trusted my gut feeling last time, it feels like there is an undertone the whole time. The new surgeon said I can remove the beard grafts as well if I want and I will.

I have asked for a full refund now and was told no by them so I'm posting my story here to see if I'm being unreasonable or they are.

This had ruined my life for a year and a half now and see people look at my hair a lot, I don't socialize any more and wear my hat whenever I can not wearing it and going anywhere takes real effort. I'm hoping the corrective surgery will sort it out. They are going to correct my hairline and fill in the gaps. God willing I will get a good result this time.

This is a full and true account with nothing exaggerated. I didn't see all the flaws at the time but looking back the whole process is realllllyy poor. Aside from poor growth rate the fact the beard grafts were used and didn't need to be makes me angry, they do not look right and I'm going to pay to get them removed. Ahd did offer to remove them as well but I don't trust them now.

I've asked for the full amount back but they won't refund it and they are ignoring my emails

The pictures below are my 18 month result...

tbh im just worried after reading the bad reviews recently, before i read those i was content with waiting. Ill try and forget about it.

im hoping if it all grows, like in the pic showing the grafts on my temples (on the other thread) at two weeks i will get a good result. i asked for pictures of people who had similar hairlines and got similar number of grafts before surgery and was sent these two.

http://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/eve/168673-3530-850%3D4380-grafts-dr-hakan-doganay.html

At present, i think maybe 50% have grown but are really thin. Im hoping if the grafts continue to grow to nearly match the grafts implanted i will get a similar result. I think if not much has improved in the next two months i will lose heart. The clinic told me when i had the first surgery i would need maybe a 1000 more head hair for my crown and they think that's all i will have left, though they wouldn't know for sure until next consultation.

Are there any links to patients who had similar surgery and had similar results to mine at month 7 but got a lot better? i.e. slow growers.

thanks fellas

those last pics were under direct sunlight, heres one thats not.dont know ifit matters though...

7 months.
