hyte

Very good, I think from begining I have a small but systematic progress, after 3.5 month it's become faster, can see more hair sprouting. It doesn't show on the photo but it already looks good, people asking me what have I done to my face cause looking so young lol

4 month update on my progress

you have a less receding than me, and your hair looks much thicker. Very nice new hair line. Looks like great job done. Did you see some people at the airport with HT post op?

Here is my 2 months update.

The healing was smooth,there was lots of itching but it is now gone. You just have to fallow all the steps they told you to. I think the guy who is doing the extraction is actually nurse and he looks like he knows what he is doing. The only problem was when he was cannulating me he wasnt to gentle with the needle lol

I have had my HT 2 months ago with Hakan and to be honest they couldn't faulted, it was super professional and I am already having lots of new grow.

wow great results, hoping for mine to come along as nice

Hope you will have a good results, just came back from Hakan and was really pleased with all the services.

I will comeback to your gafts number, did Dr Y stated that you still have 5000 grafts left ? .To be honest by looking ( with my unprofessional eye) I would say that this 5200 implanted was already a maximum what you can get from the hair you own

Thank you MrOneSeries, my pictures are a bit upside down but not sure how to turn them around. I will be trying to do show my progress update as systematically as possible.

some more pic from before my HT and 2 weeks after

Hair transplant experience Intoduction; I am nearly 35 years old male, suffering with male baldness since 10 years, mostly in my crown area, my hair line always been a Micky Mouse type and was driving me mad. I am classified as a Norwood 3 vertex but as I said my hair line have had just a slightly hair loss. My hair transplant decision was very spontaneous; I work in medical fields where I get to see lots of people suffering on daily basis. This make me concluded that life is too short for hesitation and we should do anything what could make us happy. Choosing a Dr. I after reviewing prices in London (I am Easter European Living in the UK) I have decided to go for Turkey. I have logged in to I think most of the forums for hair lost, hair transplant, hair restoration topics (with the same nickname). I think what I was looking at for choosing a Dr was his international credential in Hair transplant. In the forums there is lots of politics going on and it’s hard to distinguish what is right and what is false. My choice I have narrowed to actually few Dr`s in Turkey. Dr Erdogan, Dr Doganay and Dr Civas, Dr Karadeniz and Dr Yamman. Because I am HIV poz I also find out that sometimes is better to check if the clinic will accept me as a patient. So after the disclosure only one Dr left and to be honest was really pleased with him as he was my ultimate winner anyway (he is a member for the well-respected IAHRS organisation). His reps Didem and Mustafa were always super nice and very quick with replying all off my questions and never tried to push me to have the procedure with them. I also requested that I would like to have my hair crown done on one day and the hair line the next day and that the Dr do all the implanting himself which wasn’t a problem because this is their working protocol anyway. After reviling on the forums that I have plan of going with Dr Doganay I have met with lots of criticism of his latest work and warnings not to risk being butchered by “dogy Doganay”. At this point I was really confused and could not make up my mind. (Suddenly there is Dr Hakan ex employer who is spilling the beans about his unethical work and lots of not very favourable reviews at the same time. Apparently there was a time when AHD clinic was run by the technicians instead the Dr himself) Additionally I have contacted International Hair Transplant Mentor in USA to give me his opinion about Dr Hakan work and as I was expecting he just assured me that my choice it is a good one. First day I have arrived to Istanbul Ataturk airport and as prompted I was picked up buy a smiling driver who did not speak English but straight away he passes me his mobile so I could speak to Didem who explained to me the schedule of my hair transplant procedure. I was taken to very nice hotel near the airport ParkInn by Radison (the Ahd clinic is like 3 km away from the hotel) where I could just relax for the rest of the day. Second day After an amazing breakfast at the hotel I was taken I think by John (who speak English) to the clinic. There I met with Didem and the rest of the staff. I have already felt like someone important and long awaited for. Except Didem I also had been accompanied by a very young handsome translator Tfeem? Not sure about the spelling. Then I met with Dr himself who looked at my donor hair and find out about my expectation for the HT and baldness in my family. He also drawn the hair line which I was very happy with (I have seen some critics if triangle like hair line made by Hakan but I don’t think they can be true cause the Dr is using the laser toll invented I think by Dr Schapiro? The conclusion was that I have very thin hair (which is true) and I will need around 3500 grafts to have a nice density for my hair line and my crown cover. The operation was divided on to two days as requested and I was taken to another room to have my hair shaven. In the operation room the Dr was waiting for me already and draw another hair line and I think also marked the area which will be harvested. He then injected me with anaesthesia (which I think is the only painful moments in the whole HT procedure). My hair was harvested by Ahmed who sims very professional and like someone who is also well respected within the clinic. After 2. 5 h the harvesting was done (1750 grafts) and I had 15 min lunch break. When was the time for implantation the Dr again gave me anaesthetic injections (it’s not a shame if you cry there lol) and when everything was numbed and proceed with implanting my grafts. As a medic professional I also work in surgery theatres and must admit that everything was at the highest standards. They didn’t fault at anything and after I think 4.5 -5 hours first part was done. After the procedure I was given neck pillow some pain relief, antibiotics and anti-inflammatory meds and taken to the hotel where I have order room service diner. Third Day After a good sleep (yep I didn’t have a problem sleeping with the neck pillow) I was taken to the clinic and exactly the same procedure was performing on me with 1650 grafts. To be honest the second day was much easier as I was much more relaxed and didn’t feel that much pain while being injected with anaesthetics. Aha what I have to mention was that I have my crown done and hair line at the same time but the grafts numbers where divided on to two days (the Dr recommended that it will be the best option for best results) Fourth day I had my hair washed and instructed how to taking cate of them and also was given baby lotion baby shampoo (which I could take with me unfortunately) some anti-scaring cream for my donor area, biotin, finasteride supply for 3 months and sexy fisherman hat to protect my head from infection. Conclusion Over all I am very satisfied with the clinic, everyone was super professional, nice and helpful. The Dr himself is very approachable and even that his English is not best he does try to communicate with you to make sure you are happy and at east. Didem is very bobbly and nice to be around. Tfeem? Very claver 21 years old from Aleppo, Syrian boy who learned English form watching American movies, he always finds interesting subject to talk about with you. Finally, I am really happy how my hair looks like after HT and looking forward to the next moths. Hope my results will confirm that Dr Hakan Doganay is very talented HT surgeon.

I just comeback from AHD clinic and have experience Dr Hakan work on myself and have seen it on other patients, It is strange that your hair are done by the same Dr, cause it doesn't look like what I have seen and experience

I have sent my assessment form to Asmed ( there you have to stated your HIV status), I never have gotten any reply from them. I have decided that my HIV status will help me to choose a clinic as well, cause only unprofessional Dr would refused undetectable HIV status patient. I have gone with Dr Doganay I I must say I am very happy with my choice. Will rite up my experience soon.

Dear cenkoa01, Thank you for your reply, ...and yes I was talking to his reps and they confirmed that Dr D. will do all implantation him self, and I will also make sure he will. I will be updating the post so you guys can witness if there is or there is no improvement in Dr Doganays work.

The link you sent, doest work for me

I go to holidaycomparemoney and pick the best, they will also deliver the money to your place

I already stated that I will document it, and I will on every HT forum. Not sure if I want to cancel, I think I will get a cold feet with any HT surgeon in Turkey , it is such hit and miss market. I was thinking of going to much cheaper HT so at least I would feel so sorry for the money I wasted but again I am HIV poz and they don't perform HT on us

Cenkoa01- do you believe in Dr hakan skills ? I have made an appointment with him and I was assured that he will do all the work. I think after the scandal with quality of his work he don't have as much client and therefore focuses more on a good work ( so I hope for). Would you say that the Dr is a good Dr

wow where is that knowledge from ? I have reviewed the bad comments about Dr Doganay and most are just exaggerated issues, actually gave me a feeling that someone is trying sabotage Dr Hakan. Secondely I am HIV poz person and to be fair only Dr Donagan have had no problems with that, stating that they do every procedure in very sterilized environment and tools for every patients same standard are required. I have talked with Mustafa, one of Dr representative and he said that in this forum there is a number of bad mouth people and some dr already given up on it. I do agree with him

hmmm yeas, but I think with the forums and recommendations there is lots of politics involved, today you are recommended, tomorrow you are out. Erdogan is still going strong but as I find out that his work is done by technicians only- no thanks, besides I dont like his work

I would be happy to have your hair from before pic

Hey guys, i have been struggling with the same problem, I have contacted some clinics and some have refused to perform HT on me. To be honest I think that shows how professional the clinic is... here is the list of clinics I contacted; GetFue, have told me that http://www.besthairturkey.com perform HT on HIV poz patients (Dr Abdulrahman Cevik) Gethair- will do but requiring the most recent blood test from your doctor http://www.resulyamman.com (Dr Resul Yamman) - refused to do HT (big disappointment) Dr Karadeniz - contacted on WhatsApp, the message was read but no reply Dr Koran Erdogan - no reply after 2 weeks ( Bad customer service or very selective ) Dr Hakan Doganay- no problem ( very professional about it )

Alsufugy1 have you decided on your HT yet? I am going to Istanbul in 3 weeks to see Dr Donagay but with the mix reviews I am a bit worried

when I was doing my research, I have come across two hair transplant surgeon in Turkey, Dr Erdogan and Dr Doganay, they both had a very good reviews, however, the first one did not respond on time so I have decided to go with Dr Doganay (especially there is 20% discount 1.6 euro per graff). So now i have booked my appointment in 3 weeks and just now have read some worrying rather reviews about my Dr. I am really concern not sure what to do.It sims like Dr Doganay work have a taken turn back, was anyone recently having proceder and can give me some feedback pls ? Many thanks
