I asked because I read this here: http://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/eve/180894-my-operation-dr-resul-yaman-14-aug-2015-4450-grafts.html

did dr. Koray finish 4500 grafts within one or two days? thanks!

FUE only!

FUE only!

Is this even possible? as I read from this forum, it seems that this is kinda too many for just one day. I just felt that this is too haste to do. a sacrifice of quality?

Alright, I think I can share some of my experience with you guys regarding HT clinics in China. I am living in Shanghai and have visited three top HT clinics here, including Kefayuan, Lotus (or Biliansheng in Chinese), and Yonghe. First, all the initial consultation was done by some marketing people (the surgeons are just too busy to do this themselves). They claim they are doctors but they are really not. Lots of them just money oriented. As far as I know, they would probably get some profit share by just recruiting patients. Second, I agree that each of the clinics have done some great jobs as far as I can see from their before and after photos, but I am not quite sure about their consistency. We occasional hear some failed cases from their patients. It's just hard for me to trust them at all. They name their FUE technologies differently just for marketing purposes. Third, talking about cost alone, it is very comparable to that in Turkey or India. With the same amount of money, their counterparts in Turkey and India (especially the ones recommend by this forum) can do a much better job. With these being said, I have strong reasons to look for surgeons from Turkey or India right now.

Hey, Sean, thanks! As I read on these threads here, I have the same feeling. Now I have narrowed my options down to docs from either Turkey or India. My schedule is flexible, which is good for any upcoming potential arrangements.

I definitely agree with you, darlinglocks. That's why I attempted to get in touch with Dr. Bhatti in the first place. He is really nice and super responsive. We exchange 9 emails within just one hour. I think eventually I will try to ask for arrangement of online consultation.

darlinglocks, thank you for the explanation. no, I have not done any skype consultation with these surgeons. These numbers are just some initial information.

David, thank you for the information. I already got several replies from different surgeons (All are discussed here). Dr Hakan Doganay: 4000 grafts Dr Yaman: 4500 grafts Dr Bhatti: 3500 grafts Dr. Demirsoy: 3000-3500 grafts Now I am really confused. Although these numbers are just some rough estimates based on my pics, they vary too much. Do you think these doctors will give me a range of close estimates after an examination in person? As I read some posts here, it seems that this is a very common issue that other patients have also come across.

got it, thank you for the help!!

After seeing all these pics, I sent a message to Dr. Yaman for a quote. I wish I can get my HT done in Turkey soon!

33-year old male, new to this forum. I wish I could have found you guys earlier. I am now actively looking for HT surgeons. It seems Turkey and India would be good options for me considering the budget limit (I am living in China, and willing to travel to get a lower price for good quality work). After reading several posts, I'm kinda overwhelmed. Is there a way by which I can find a list of doctors with specific rates? It would also be highly appreciated if you can give me some advice regarding which kind of surgery I should go with? Am I a good candidate for FUE, and how many grafts do I need based on the attached pics? Finally, please don't hesitate to recommend any FUE-only doctors for my consideration. I am planning to get it done sooner rather than later. Probably it is time for me to reach out for some consultation. Again, I appreciate your inputs!!
