Of course you would go back to the same place that screwed things up since you want to get what you originally paid for. It's like paying a mechanic to fix your car and he does a bad job, you go back and get him to complete the job you have already paid for. Plus I imagine the second time round the surgeon will make you their top priority since they don't want it continue any further.

I commented on your mental status. Some people have serious ocd and whilst your result wasn't fantastic you have to realise no transplant will ever create the illusion of density that the hair fibres you put in do. If anyone saw all your YouTube videos your personality screams "not a candidate for a hair transplant." But what's done is done let's hope you do have a good result but please do not rant and rave about it if it's a "disaster" as you say again, you went back to a place whom you wernt happy with it all. Once you've had the experience you say you had,just like any service or product why would anyone in their right mind go back? I'm sure they took extra care this time but let's see.

Clearly you’re set in your views and no one can change these. If you had watched my earlier videos I was extremely optimistic about my first transplant. I never thought for a second it wouldn’t be a success but was surprised by the way I was treated and with the results..... I could go on and on.

Maybe you should start a blog or private consultations since you’re such an expert in who should and shouldn’t have a hair transplant as I’m assuming you obviously have a degree in psychology or mental health based on your diagnosis of my “mental issues”.

Not disputing that it lacks density but to go back there after all that? You Just said it was a disaster (which it isnt) but it's not great either but then from that experience to go back to the same clinic is completely ridiculous if this is a disaster as you say again.. then you really shouldn't post about and you'll have only your self to blame as there are bad clinics out there (not that asmed is that bad) and to go back there was crazy. It's not like you complained about something minor which could be dealt with very easily by going back there. You were seriously angry at the result and experience .

Ok so from this you came to the conclusion I’ve have mental issues and OCD? 

Please think before you post, people who do have mental health issues would take offence to your negative comments based on your opinion. 

I don’t have to explain my reasons behind it to you, clearly you’re fixed on your opinions and I’m not gonna waste my time trying to change it.

Look at planet steven he ranted so much about how disappointed his experience and result was and still went back there! And he won't be happy when his second result comes through I assure you although he is very OCD and really isn't a good candidate based on his mental status.

Normally don’t read these negative comments but since this has been sent me on Instagram like 5 times I thought I’d reply.

What mental status? I don’t think its unrealistic to expect the results the clinic promote on their website. I said from the start I was over promised and under delivered. 90% of people agree with me. The people who don’t have had a bad hair transplant them self, are associated with the clinic in some way or are just plain bitter.

Anyone with a good set of eyes could see my first transplant was a dissaster. If it wasn’t the clinic wouldn’t agree to fix it.

These results are insane! I’m so jealous 😆.. Congratulations you must be so happy! 😊

Good Luck, Stephen!

Thanks for posting, please update us with your progress on your 2nd Ht.

Thanks i’ll definitely keep you posted

I’m officially 18 months post op today.. currently at the airport waiting to go back to Asmed to get a second procedure to fill in the gaps in my hairline

Has anyone had a second op? What’s your feedback from it?

Didn’t realise just how popular Istanbul is, there’s about 20 guys (all of which are clearly receding) all waiting to board this 23.05pm flight to Istanbul by themselves.. least I know I’m not the only one coming back with fuller hair 😆

And you for yours. Funnily enough I saw your videos on Youtube just the other day. Pretty sure with a small second pass you will have a brilliant result! 

Thank you! I’m at the clinic a month after you so you will need to keep me posted on what it looks like etc 😄

I thought I would start the thread whilst I was online. 

Booked in for my second procedure with Asmed on the 18th December 2019. Expected to use between 2000 - 2500 grafts with final numbers to be confirmed the day prior to surgery. 

My first thread can be found here if you haven't already seen it. If there is anything in particular that you want me to ask or record this time then just let me know. 

 

Best of luck with your second op 🙂 looking forward to seeing your progress

Hi Deb, 

I was in Instanbul recently and called for a check up at Asmed's new facility. The place is amazing. Feels like a five star hotel. It has a similar feel to the old place, but is so much larger. It was as you would expect absolutely spotless and pristine. Nice to see they are reinvesting for the benefit and care of existing and new clients. Good luck with your next adventure, keep us updated.

I’m visiting the clinic again in January. Looking forward to seeing the new clinic

Goals!

 

Thanks guy, yeah I’m very happy with the result the barbers were all saying how good the work was and how they could only tell by being super close. I’m happy with how my hair is now my confidence is high and no longer worried about my hair 

Wow! Your results are amazing at 8 months! You must be so happy with it 😄👌🏻

BoulderBaldee thanks for sharing your story! It sounds like you’ve been through one hell of a journey with your hair!.

I can definitely see what you mean about your hair being thinner and lacking density. It seems that most patients that visit Asmed in recent years all seem to need a touch up 🤔 it’s very strange. Keep us posted on what Asmed suggest. Hopefully you get the results you’re looking for 🙏🏻

Thanks for posting man .. I’ve seen ur YouTube video .. ur hair don’t look bad .. but definitely not 3000 grafts worth ..  how many grafts are they giving you to fill in the density ? Hopefully ur second surgery,  the doctor will spend more time with u in the consultation ..  

Thanks man, I know my hair will never be 100% or even close to the original density however I did expect more. I’m not sure how much is needed I’ll need to get that confirmed when I have my consultation in January ? 

Hey guys!

New to this so bear with me ?

Wanted to share some recent close up photos from 15 months post op at Asmed. Also wanted to address a few things on one of the other threads here about my results.

For those of you who follow my progress on YouTube (Planet Stephen) you’ll know I’m going back in January to get a “top up” as my hair is very patchy, the hairline isn’t full and density is very low.

This is frustrating because I’ve seen some amazing results coming from Koray and Asmed clinic. I’m told this website and the people who run it are very much Pro Asmed so I’m trying to word this carefully so no one gets triggered. 

You can see from my photos and if you have seen my videos on YouTube that my hairline doesn’t compare to the results on Asmed’s website. There’s guys on there with much more advanced hair loss than me getting 2,000 grafts and coming out with the thickest, fullest hair ever. I got 3,000 grafts and I only think about 1,000 of them actually survived. I don’t know why the results are this poor but I wanted to pick up on a few things I read earlier on another forum.

Hairline too low - a few people blame me for the results as they say my hairline is “too low” firstly I think hairlines are subjective and secondly my graft number was based around this hair line. If I got a higher hairline my graft number would have been less, so I don’t think this is a fair arguement.

Also if Dr Koray felt my expectations were unrealistic or not achievable he could have told me this at the time. I was promised a natural hair line and what I have isn’t that. Dr Koray is also a highly skilled professional who knows a lot more about transplants than me, if he felt he couldn’t achieve the results I was looking for he could have told me that at the time during my brief 10 minute consultation pre op. He’s not a robot that you pre-programme with a hairline and graft number, he could of said at the time if my expectations where “too high”. 

Harsh lightening - I read a few comments saying that the lightening was too harsh therefor of course the results would look bad?.. you can’t say to someone who’s had a HT to not go in sunlight or in a bright room because your surgery would look obvious. This did make me laugh but c’mon let’s be realistic. 

I have not met one person who says my hair looks good or even natural in person. Photos/Videos soften the results you see so therefore aren’t getting a true image of how it actually looks. 

Hopefully surgery number 2 sorts me out and I can come back on here with my success story ???

Open to your thoughts..

Thanks,

Stephen
