Realistically, what do people expect clinics to say about sub-par results that they don't already know? It's usually the same response - not every procedure will be a success etc. There isn't much more they can say. A clinic isn't going to say that their standards have slipped. If users are creating multiple accounts, it should be possible to ban their IP addresses from creating new accounts.

LONGEVITA - Yes or No ??
Grouchy replied to Lukazoid's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
You divided the numbers the wrong way. It's roughly $0.42 per graft. Math: £1300 for 4000 grafts = £0.325 per graft All hair transplants come with some risk. The question is how much risk you want to trade off for price. I wouldn't have any procedure with a clinic if I couldn't see consistently good independent reviews. There are doctors in Turkey who perform relatively cheap HT's that have some good reviews on this forums, like Dr Demirsoy and Dr Resul Yaman ( €1.25 - €1.50 per graft). -
That's a remarkable result for just 2295 grafts. Congrats.

My bad experience with Dr Resul Yaman in Turkey

And sometimes results decline as doctors begin to rely more on techs - the Doganay Effect. -
My bad experience with Dr Resul Yaman in Turkey
Grouchy replied to Details's topic in Hair Transplant Reviews
Since Dr Yaman is recommended by this site, he should be required to provide an explanation for that donor area. When users post negative reviews about recommended doctors, moderators are quick to request additional evidence - with the threat of the topic being archived if they don't provide it. Recommended doctors should be held to the same standard. If they don't provide explanations for cases like this, then they shouldn't be recommended. Just to add - that should be based on recent results posted by patients, not results from years ago when Yaman was more involved with the procedure. -
Do you have any more photos you can post? I was considering Yaman for a HT at one point, but there's a worrying increase in threads about his poor results.

4300 grafts with Dr resul Yaman 12th April 2017
Grouchy replied to chevenowner1's topic in Hair Transplant Reviews
Dr Yaman's recent poor results remind me of what happened with Doganay a while back. After posting consistently good results for a few years, both started to rely more on technicians as their popularity increased - patient outcomes deteriorated as a result. Doctors will always have individual cases where the outcomes fail to meet expectations, but the issue is when that becomes a pattern that correlates with the doctors reducing their role in the procedure. There's also been an increase in suspicious threads where people who've posted bad results following HT's with Yaman suddenly want their threads deleted - this is happening on other HT forums too. -
What role did he have in the procedure? Did technicians do all or most of the work? There are multiple reports on other sites that claim Arenamed is a technician mill that overstates the amount of grafts they implant, and that Serkan Aydin is not a medical doctor.

Current Coup in Turkey - might be time to reshedcule that HT
Grouchy replied to Grouchy's topic in Open Hair Loss Topics
All flights from Istanbul's Ataturk Airport have been cancelled, a Reuters witness said on Friday, citing a pilot, after the military said it had taken control of the government. -
Bad news for anyone travelling for a ht: Turkey coup: military attempt to seize power from Erdogan as low flying jets and gunfire heard in Ankara and bridges across Bosphorus in Istanbul closed
-
5200 grafts for 3800 Euro - is that correct? I thought he charged €1 per graft.
-
Judging buy the price, Aestimed appears to be a technician clinic. The doctors only real involvement is drawing the hairline and deciding how may grafts are required, technicians perform most of the procedure itself Those type of clinics aren't really recommended hereby most users, but if you want to go down that road,Cosmedica is also a well known Turkish clinics.

Dr Demirsoy or Dr Yaman use technicians?

Questions after My First Ever HT Consultation
Grouchy replied to Tomcat's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
1-3: Yes The reason people often continue to take finasteride after a ht is because it helps prevent the rest of the original hair from miniaturizing.
