Hi Mick, so far so good but I guess the proof will be in the pudding about 6 months from now. I had my procedure done over 2 days finishing yesterday for approximately 5000 grafts. Dr and staff were very friendly and Dr did all incisions and extractions as promised. They did seem very busy looks like doing 3-4 procedures per day. So far the results look good with good natural looking planting with good density. I guess doner capacity and required grafts for good coverage will dictate here. My front and middle look extremely good but crown is light on. Am weary of over harvesting so i think we achieved the maximum from what was available. Dr's assistant Fikret is extremely good to deal with if you have any questions best way to contact is using the app called whatsapp. i will try to post some photos for 1st day post op.

Bags almost packed, fly out tonight to land in Istanbul tomorrow. Getting nervous and excited at the same time. I hope this goes as planned and the results are good. Wish me luck!!! So far Dr Yeman and his colleagues especially Fikret have been excellent to deal with, hopefully everything run A ok!!

Hi there, I chose Dr Yeman as recommended by this network.

Hi All, i am in a similar boat. from Australia but Norwood 5. I have decided with Dr Yaman. From his pictures the results are excellent and affordable. i wish you all the best and am looking forward to sharing my journey. the recommendation from this community went a long way to my final decision.

Hello comrades, after careful research I have decided to go with Dr Resul Yeman. Have seen many results and from feedback from community made the decision. i hope all goes well and look forward to sharing results!!!! exciting times..

Thanks Yaz, I am leaning towards Dr Melike Kolahce. She is very experienced and very involved in the community. The only concern I have is she is recommending I require approx 3500 grafts. Most others are recommending 4500-5000 grafts for good coverage. Dr Melike advises that 5000 will be overharvesting. Im a little confused and want a good result. I am NW5 so i am not confidant that 3500 will be enough..

Hi Guys, I am looking to find a good clinic/Dr in Turkey for a FUE procedure. I am NR 5ish, 34 years old and have a family history of similar pattern hair loss. I chose Turkey as from my research there are some quality doctors there for a affordable price. I have been in contact with Transmed (Dr Melike), Asmed (Dr Koray), Cheaperclinic (Dr not allowed to be discussed on this site?!), EsteTurkey (Dr Aslan), Dr Doganay, Clinicana and Cosmedica. Dr Doganay seems to have the most recommendations however needing approx 5000 grafts at 2 Euro each is out of my affordability. Asmed replied to my consultation request with some questions however a week on and i still have not heard anything further. I understand they are similar in cost to above. The options i am deciding from is Transmed, Cheaperklinic (Dr not allowed to be discussed) and EsteTurkey. Transmed advises 3000-3500 grafts, Cheaperklinic 4000-4500 and EsteTurkey 5000. EsteTurkey will be competing procedure over 2 sessions in 2 days which gives me some comfort that it will not be so rushed. Others in 1 day. I havent heard or seen any reviews from Clinicana or Cosmedica other than their websites. EsteTurkey has been recommended by a couple of friends of friend back home that have been there. I have however seen some pretty brutal reviews. They offer a guarantee for peace of mind. They cost double cheaperklinic and half of Doganay. When i first started researching Dr Melike Kulahce was the first one that stood out. Nearly a year later she still stands out!! her experience and involvement in the hair restoration international community has to be acknowledged. it causes me some concern that cheaperklinic (Dr not allowed to be discussed) is not actually allowed to be discussed on here!!! In my 34 years I have never heard or seen such a thing where a specific community that is set up to help people in my situation have banned discussion on a certain doctor? please private message me if assistance can be provided here. Im a little reserved at the level of actual involvement in the procedure. Seems like they mainly supervise. Dr Aslan's assistant assured that the Dr personally takes reponsibilty for each procedure and his involvement will be around stages 2-3 (other than initial consultation). Can anyone that has used these clinics/Dr's provide some information/experiences to assist in making the right decision. Im hoping for very good results but not at the cost of the Koray's/Doganay. I believe it is out there!! Thanking you in advance. -----
