He is definitely a front runner for me as well. The drs from Belgium I have just begun to question so I don't know which way I'll go yet. As for when, it really is just a matter of picking a doctor and I'm ready. I am an impatient sort so once I made the decision to get work done I wanted it done asap so just the process of doing my due diligence has been painful lol. Once I hear from the Belgian drs I will make a choice and book for as soon as possible. How about you?

I am very impressed with his work, he seems to get consistent quality results and the feedback from clients on that forum read as very happy with him. In Turkey I would put him at the top of the line from what I've seen so far. His approach is also very impressive, the mega session guys worry me. As I said I have been quoted on average about needing 2k grafts, he is the only doc so far to say I would need multiple days, some have said I would need a half day tops. That says something to me, it's quality over maximizing people in the door.

DWH, I sent you a link to check out dr Oztans work on another forum. I have started messaging the Belgian top surgeons and 2.7 does start treading me into their direction but it's still cheaper overall. Only one I found that is right there with that is DeReyes. Bisanaga and Feriduni are over double and haven't found prices from Lupunzula yet. Mwambas prices are a little more flexible, if you share your picture discount, if you use pcid discount but you can get it down to 3.4 per graft but no idea if pcid is as good a method vs manual, need to research that and I haven't looked into his work as I have Bisanaga, Feriduni or DeReyes. Have not heard from any of them yet re: consultations. I also looked at Dr Bhatti in India out of curiousity and his prices are very fair 1.5 euro per graft and reviews are very good, and he replied to consultation over night. I will be looking into Dr Bhattis work more, if anybody has any opinions I'd love to hear them. Consensus has been around 2k grafts for the work I want done, Erdogan was higher started at 2500 grafts, Oztan, Karadeniz both said 2k while Bhatti was way lower saying between 1500-1800 not sure which ones are right. Dr Bhatti being in India would have exerience with Indian hair which I have so I don't know if he has any more special insight into what I'd need. I guess i'll wait on more consults to roll in and see what others have to say.

Re: Dr Karadeniz, I have seen lots of his work and thought he was quite good and for his price was very reasonable. I only got hesitant since he stopped on a couple forums so I was wondering if there were issues with clients/members or what would make him leave places where so many people go for feedback. It was initially his posting here and other places that made me look at him as he was so accessible and helpful. I honestly didnt even look at Belgium as I thought the price was significantly higher but I just looked and you are right we're heading into the same ballpark now.

I am having the same dilemma. I've got 2 front runners but a few remain as options. Dr Erdogan because his reputation speaks for itself. Dr Oztan who I didn't know much about as he doesn't seem to be on the english speaking forums too often but his work is great and seems big in the non english forums but he is at 2.7 euro per graft, so slightly higher than Erdogan. Those are my 2 front runners based on work Id seen and rep from here and elsewhere. Then I have Dr Karadeniz who I thought highly of but has since disappeared from the forums for whatever reason so I am a little nervous about him. I am still waiting on response from Yaman its been a few days. Dr Demisroys work just hasn't impressed me in the same way as the others but I am still trying to find more of his work to compare. Ive never heard of Dr. oguzoglu so I will have to look him up.
