I’ve had two transplants with Transmed in Istanbul since May 2010, under Dr Melike Kulahci. Total 4000 grafts: 2100 grafts in the first operation, 1900 in the second, plus a PRP procedure. The image shows my initial condition and the end results last August. I was very unsatisfied with the density of hair achieved. The rep of a leading hair surgeon also felt this density was unsatisfactory, given the number of grafts transplanted. During the two procedures, Dr Melike was only present during the graft harvesting and not during the actual implantation of the grafts. I have read that it’s vital for the surgeon to perform this part of the procedure. Dr Melike has not been in touch with me since I wrote to her to complain about the poor final outcome in the autumn of 2014. Instead I have only had contact from a deputy at Transmed. I have been requesting a refund for the second procedure, but Transmed have informed me that all they can offer me is a further transplant, at a cost of €700. They are recommending further grafts in the frontal cortex. These areas have already been transplanted, (twice) and since there was no native hair in them to begin with, this is as good as admitting that the two operations I’ve undergone have not been successful. So why they expect me to risk a third procedure is hard to understand. Particularly as I have found other patients online who have experienced similar density problems. As I write, Transmed are still not agreeing to refund me and Dr Melike still hasn’t made contact. It's time people knew what they are letting themselves in for...

Yes, my poor experience was with Transmed. The problem, as you can see from the before and after shots, is with the outcome. Very few grafts surviving after two operations. Not just in areas where there was initially native hair, but also in areas where there was no hair initially. I have read of plenty of other cases where the experience was the same. And where the surgeon was not present for the actual insertion of the grafts. Have a look at my before and after pictures, which Dr Melike Kulahci STILL HAS NOT CONTACTED me about, despite my sending mails since November 2014. Then ask yourself why Dr Kulaci is no longer on the recommended surgeons list.Then ask yourself if Transmed is the right clinic for you. Best of luck with your search.

I've already started another thread about Transmed, but thought I should note my experience here too... I’ve had two transplants with Transmed in Istanbul since May 2010, under Dr Melike Kulahci.

Dr Melike has not been in touch with me since I wrote to her to complain about the poor final outcome in the autumn of 2014. Instead I have only had contact from a deputy at Transmed, Mr Nahhas. I have been requesting a refund for the second procedure, but Transmed have informed me that all they can offer me is a further transplant, at a cost of €700. They are recommending further grafts in the frontal cortex. These areas have already been transplanted, (TWICE) and since there was no native hair in these areas to begin with, this is as good as admitting that the two operations I’ve undergone have not been successful. Why Dr Melike Kulahci expects me to risk a third procedure is hard to understand. Particularly as I have found other patients online who have experienced similar density problems. As I write, Transmed are still not agreeing to refund me and Dr Melike STILL hasn’t made contact. Dr Melike, if you're reading this, I suggest you get in touch…

Was that with Transmed or Transest you had a poor result? That is exceptionally cheap. At Transmed I paid a lot more - about €6000 and still got a hopeless result.

Reply to Pecstretch, regarding Transmed. I came across many people complaining about the exact problems I had with Transmed, (never heard of Transest.). A selection of links below. Just to remind you, Dr Dr. Melike Kulahci didn't actually carry out the procedures herself, (apart from the harvesting), leaving that work instead to unskilled technicians. She has not replied to any of my mails of complaint. I am still trying to obtain a refund, will be reporting Transmed clinic to the Turkish medical authorities, and would STRONGLY advise not opting for them. It is little wonder that Dr Melike Kulahci is no longer listed on this site on the recommended surgeons page.
