And the very toughest pill to swallow, Koray Erdogan took our very best grafts and flushed them down the toilet, the 3's, 4's and 5's.. and he scarred the recipient and compromised the blood flow so any future transplants will likely be sub par.. all in the name of greed, ruining lives for 💰 

Yes. The very best grafts in terms of quality and also quantity.

100% agree. 

There was a very similar case to yours published a few weeks ago. 

Zero survival. 5000 grafts wasted. 

And instead of offering a refund or at least a free touch-up (which should be unwise to accept of course bcuz they would destroy even more grafts..), Koray requested more money for a 2nd surgery....🤦‍♀️

Their ethics are terrible. 

But like you said, the good news is their reputation has become very bad now on most hairloss forums and Koray was busted. 

They have many bad results on the international hairloss forum too (the french forum). 

I agree that ASMED is by far the worst clinic in the 2.5€ price range...

Yes, Asmed waste a lot of grafts of their patients. My grafts survivalence was very poor (I am attaching a photo where is visible how many grafts left after HT at Asmed). Asmed has very bad hairline design, graft survivalence are very low and they need much more grafts like reliable clinics for their results which are poor. But the worse is the attitude to their patients. Lies, lies, lies trying to get more money.

Koray Erdogan is one the worst hairmills out there. 

I've seen so many bad results from his uneducated nurses over the years.... He's ruined so many lives. 

From what I see, I would say a good 30% (if not more) of cases in his practice have extremely poor survival. 

And I've seen several cases of overharvesting. 

His "fame", fake online reputation, coverage value theories, conferences, futuristic clinic is all complete BS... 

It's sad that so many young folks fall into the trap.

Anyways, I am happy you were able to get repaired by Couto and restored a normal appearence. 

Enjoy your great head of hair ! 

Yes. Unfortunatelly I was one of 30% who had very low survivalence if grafts. I know what about you wrote. I had destroyed life, low self confidence for 4 years, since my final result from Asmed to my 2nd HT with Dr. Couto. Asmed invests a lot of money to PR, but their reputation is very bad now. With their number of grafts, they are more expensive than reliable clinics, which achieve a better result with half of the number of grafts.

Erdogan - turned art & science into a moneygrab.  I would have respected him if he stopped doing surgery & hand-picked & trained just a couple really talented protege's & trusted experienced techs & been the 'jewel of Turkey' - whilst still making a handsome living.  He went another way.

I'm sure he sleeps on piles of cash everynight - very restorative for him I am sure.

Yes, like I wrote, I had consultations with around 20 doctors/clinics. I have heard several times: Erdogan was a good doctor but the way he runs his clinic is bad.

This is the best turn around I've seen and perfectly captures the gulf in class between a doctor like Couto compared to ASMED and proof that $$ isn't everything. Crazy to think a few years back he was the most desired doctor and considered one of the elites.

The difference is night and day. Your hair looks stunning and so full! I hope everyone else that had a botched job posts their story, because as I said earlier in this very thread, one example of such made me rethink going there and saved me a world of heartache. Thanks again!!

Thank you. Exactly. I think my 2 results show the difference between good doctor/clinic and bad doctor/clinic. Yes, I remember one thread called: Is Erdogan the king of hair transplant? Now he is a doctor (and Asmed the clinic) to avoid. But there are still a few people who think it can't happen to them.

Hey mate, any updates? This gives me some hope I can have my botched job from that criminal koray erdogan fixed, but my donor Is more destroyed.. 

Hello. Here you are 8 and 1/2 months update. Sorry for hairstyle, but I usually combe my hair to the side. Today I combed hair up due the photos. And yes, I know what about you speak. Dr. Couto returned a smile to my face.

Western Europe, will not share more than that, it was ruinous for my personal life as they send physical letters to your mailbox and not email, probably as a tactic so that your partner will also be involved and feel threatened.. as I said, one of the most unethical clinics in existence but money talks, this forum is not bought but I feel the name should be banned as patients have been threatened.. not that it matters, Koray is not coming back here he has his hunting grounds on the Italian and Turkish forums that have been bought, and youtube ofcourse

I understand. This is a hyenism to ruin someone's life with an unprofessional hair transplant and to threaten them when they publish it. After my final result from Asmed clinic I was so ashamed that I almost always wore a hat (more than before HT) + depleted donor and waisted money. In your place I would publish you story. And yes, I am very happy that this HT forum is honest and the information is reliable.

@miko, looking fantastic brother! So very happy for you. It doesn’t get better than that.

Thank you very much 😊

So happy for you bro.. I am still living in the nightmare Koray Erdogan and ASMED created for me.. he has destroyed so many lives.. 

Thank you. Where can I find your story? Yes, I believe it. I was sad every day when I wash my hair and look in to the mirror. I was so stupid go there. Like I wrote several times. Going to Asmed for HT with Dr. Erdogan was my worst decision in my whole life. Every part of surgery was disaster. Bad unnatural shape of hairline, lack density, low graft survuvalence, depleted and destroyed donor... And the clinic´s approach to the result ... I am very surprised the people who go to Asmed after everything what has been published...

Your results look great, congrats on finally getting there after a long and hard journey. 

Thank you. Yes, 5 years of nigtmare caused by Asmed clinic 

Tank you very much guys. I am really happy and satisfied. I was in Madrid at Fuexpert clinic one week ago and Dr. Couto is also very satisfied with the result.  It was not easy to do this repair HT for him. Asmed and Dr. Erdogan depleted and destroyed my donor and the best grafts were taken by Asmed (a lot of them died) for my terrible result from 1st HT. Also my hair are thin and fine, which is also not good for HT. But Dr. Couto did great work. 

Hello guys. Few days ago it was 7 month since my repair HT at Fuexpert clinic Madrid with Dr. Juan Couto, who repaired my terrible result from Asmed clinic Istanbul with Dr. Koray Erdogan. I am attaching few pictures of my current condition 7 months since HT. The pictures were taken outside in normal spring sun light.

It looks great. Cuoto is the 🐐rn imo. Congrats on the repair. I’m sure it’s been a long road but happy to see there is light at the end of the tunnel for you! 

Thank you. Yes. There is 7 and half another months before me. I hope I will be smiling in the end.

Such a massive improvement already ! 👍🏽

Thank you. Yes. And I hope it will be continue 

Thank you very much. Yes, I saw a lot of Dr. Couto´s results and therefore I decided for him. But there are few other surgeons and clinic which are very good, e.g. Dr. De Freitas, Eugenix, Dr. Lorenzo, Dr. Konior, etc.

You are lucky man, when you changed your mind about going to Asmed. Probably you saved your donor. Yes. Exactly. In the end you paid at Asmed more money than at in reliable clinic, but you loose much more grafts than necessary. I really don´t know what they do with grafts. First I thought that they cheat with number of extracted grafts but it seems that the number is real. Thank you. I will continue with updating 😊

At 4.5 months, you already look so much better than your final result with Asmed. 
 

Very happy to see how this is coming along, as you deserve to finally have a great looking result after all you have been through. 
 

Keep on with the updates ! 

Yes. I agree. I said that if my result remained like this, it would still be much much better than my final result from Asmed clinic. But I hope that my progress will continue. 

Yes, it's hard to believe how a bad hair transplant can ruin a man's life. If we add the approach of the Asmed clinic, which lies, pretends that nothing happened, everything is ok and tries to transfer responsibility, it can also cause psychological problems.

I will 😊

Hola @miko,

That is looking awesome for just being at 4.5 months! 

How do you feel about the growing? 

And how is your donor area considering ASMED took a huge amount of possibly the best grafts???

I´m sure this repair at FUExpert Clinic will be fantastic! Dr Juan Couto is a wizard repairing cases like yours.

Keep those updates coming, please 😉

Thank you.

I am really happy with my growing. After my experience with Asmed and Dr. Erdogan I was really scared if everything will be ok.

My donor after HT at Asmed was destroyed, almost exhausted. After HT at Asmed approximately 4000 grafts should left. Dr. Couto told, that barely 1500 grafts left there. 4500 grafts were taken and another 2500 grafts were destroyed during unprofessional and amateur graft removal. And yes, the best grafts were taken by Asmed. I will add some pictures of my donor area in next time.

I hope so. I know how difficult was performing my repair HT for Dr. Couto, because of low donor area and the best grafts were missing. I spoke with him and also other surgeons about these things... 

Yes, I will. 😊

I’ve been very impressed by Dr. Cuoto, been seeing a few excellent results here on the forum, which confirms his legitimacy. 

Yes. His results are very impressive. I was really stupid to go to Asmed clinic for my first HT with Dr. Erdogan... As one member of this forum wrote to me: You dind´t do your homework when you went to Asmed...

On 1/22/2022 at 12:07 AM, Melvin- Moderator said:

How long did it take to get surgery with Dr. Cuoto? How was the experience?

Hi Melvin. I was waiting a year for the consultation and 3 months between the consultation and the surgery, because one patient postponed his surgery and Dr. Couto had a free date. The surgery was divided into 2 days, in both cases in the afternoon. First day 1000 grafts and second day 500 grafts were taken with micromotor and implanted with implanter pen. Fuexpert clinic only took new patients for consultation during few weeks in the summer of 2020 and I was lucky. I'm not sure, but as far as I know, the clinic still doesn't take new patients for consultation. I hope your HT at Eugenix was sucessful and your result will be great.

What a pity what has happened with ASMED Clinic. From being a reference in Turkey to being a clinic to AVOID. 

Luckily you found FUExpert Clinic, and I´m pretty sure your result will be amazing after Dr Couto has repaired your terrible Hair Ttransplant by Koray and his team.

One thing, you are almost at 4 months, it´s really eartly but, could you provide us with an update? Maybe some photos with dry and also wet hair? Also, could you comb that hair backwards so we can property see that new hairline? 

Thanks for sharing your experience with both ASMED and FUExpert Clinic!

 

 

 

 

Thank you. Yes, definitely, ASMED is the clinic to avoid. Going there was my worst decision in my whole life. They harvested 4500 grafts for terrible result to cover an area that a good clinic will cover with half of grafts and in the end I paid more than in a good clinic. Thanks to Dr. Couto, my life is starting to have a better quality, beacause since the final result from Asmed, I was sad every time I looked in the mirror.
