I haven't been able to do much with overseas clinics, spoke with a UK clinic but bisangas clinic is  busy and not able to do a face to face in UK until May.

Hi guys thanks for the replies, I believe your right Reddy does have some good results. That is expensive if it is per hair. I'm  not sure about Dr Arshad I think the recommendation is still early stages. I would need to see more density and hairlines as that is where you can really judge a good doctor. I think he uses a motor for extraction perhaps thats why the price is cheaper. Do you think that should be a concern? Going out the UK is not an option at this stage as I would have went with Dr Bisanga, not sure what he charges at the moment? if I have to wait then  guess it could be worth the wait. 

After much deliberation, I'm considering taking the plunge and have kept an eye on this forum on and off for a few years. I am keeping my list to the U.K due to travel restrictions. I  was considering Dr Bisanga due to his wealth of experience but that appears to be difficult now. I note that Dr Arshad's clinic has recently been put on the pre approved list of clinics. Looking at the results i think he has done some good work but would like to see more results. I was also looking at Dr Raghu Reddy, does anyone know what his price is at currently? I have seen some of his work and think his quality is pretty high. It's a shame there is not much else to choose from as there are quite a few clinics in the U.K, perhaps they are not posting there results here hence not getting recognition?

Its funny no one ever gives feeback on these posts as i have found out through asking similar questions. My view would be a good doctor should do the majority of the work and placing the grafts. Its important that the extraction is carfeully done as the grafts can be damaged if not taken out properly, would you be confident in a technician doing that? I have come accross some of the doctors you mention, my view would be to arrange a flight to instanbul visit these clinics first to get  first hand experince, have your questions ready and see which one fits best. You can always come back for the treatment once you are ready, flights are reatively cheap as is the accomodation.

You can share your experience here and hopefully it works out for you. Perhaps you have had your treatment now?

I am due to visit Turkey next month and i have a few clinics that i am going to meet with.

So I can get a better understanding of the service they provide, is there any particular questions that I should be asking? Whilst there i am considering having a session of PRP and wondered what would be the average cost to have this done as a stand alone service.

Thanks

Be very careful. Despite all concerns that are apparent on forums and advice on how to navigate the minefield that is the FUE field right now, individuals still allow themselves to choose their surgeon with their heart and not their head.

With respect, decisions such as these are purely down to cost. Every patient is price conscious to some degree. Obviously some more than others. But don’t be somebody who convinces themselves that all will be okay. 

Choice of surgeon is absolutely essential. Can you get an impressive result with tech led clinics? Of course. But with some clinic performing 8+ surgeries per day, probability would suggest that they will achieve some positive results. But which team of techs will you get? 8 surgeries = 8 teams. Which team will you get? Who are they? The team who achieves the better results, or the other team/s who don’t?

Do such clinics consider that your long term situation must be addressed and be priority? Has your donor been managed appropriately considering potential further loss? Has your hairline placement and density been calculated and designed considering future loss?

Dont take my word for it. Spend an hour doing the research.

Unfortunately guys who have lost hair, will lose further hair. Their strategy needs to be approached accordingly.

Mitigate the risk involved and put yourself in the hands of the very best and have some peace of mind.

I wish you the very best.

Thanks for the words of advice.

Dr Arslan advises that they do one surgery per day and he does the work himself with the help of 2 technicians,  all the technical work is done by him. Given most clinics in Turkey use technicians and rarely a doctor that led me to find out more about this guy so hopefully someone on here can give that input?

both are on the ISHRS and appear to do most of the work  so I would assume that should hold weight? 

Hi folks 

I am considering having a transplant in turkey and have come across this forum which has given some helpful information. 

I see there are 2 recommended surgeons in turkey,  but very little feed back on others.  

I am considering hair medico Dr arslan and get fue in antalya both are listed with the ISHRS .  I would be keen to know if anyone has experience in these clinics and how they found using there service. 

There are not to many reviews apart from some you tube some videos.  I was hoping to see some  before and after pictures from anyone on this forum. 

Your thoughts and feedback appreciated.
