Your hair is great. Stop obsessing. It’s not healthy.

You received a great transplant and should be happy. Yes, you have psychological issues and need counseling, just like many other people. The root of your issues is not your hair, but it’s how you perceive your hair (or perceived lack of hair) and correlate that to your self worth. You should not of received a hair transplant to begin with, because any result would not satisfy you and you did not have realistic expectation. Dude look objectively at your hair and pretend it’s another person. You have a great head of hair and the last thing you should be thinking about now IS your hair. That’s kinda the whole point of a transplant. It’s had the reverse effect on you due to your psychological condition, as it consumes you and you haven’t even been on a date which you pointed out is solely because of your hair. You’ve got to realize this is not healthy. In no way should you receive a refund or have a correction done for free. You can always make another appointment and pay full price for another transplant you don’t need, but I guarantee that unless you receive counseling, you will not be happy after your 2nd transplant either. You need to hear this.

The questions directly related to Jaxl’s comment about the recommended doctors on this site:

There was nothing offensive regarding my questions about the recommended list and these questions should be encouraged to allow compete transparency. If I’m choosing a clinic and doing research, I would look at the recommended list with a grain of salt because it’s my personal opinion that money is influence. Always has been. Nothing wrong with the information I requested, unless you would prefer for those questions to not be allowed? I’ve had issues with this site favoring certain clinics over other clinics, but by in large the most useful aspect of this forum is actual results listed by patients rather than information provided by so called ‘experts’

Would you all add a clinic to the recommended list if it’s been shown they get consistent results but are unwilling to pay the monthly fee?

Do you have a list of previously recommended clinics that have been taken off the recommended list and subsequently no longer pay the monthly fee?

Melvin the answer is yes. To support the costs of operating and promoting our community the physician contributes a monthly fee to sponsor this community.

Is there any financial transaction from any of the recommended clinics on here to continue to be on the recommended list?

No one here is arguing that the skill of the clinic shouldn’t be the first consideration..

Another reply completely not true. My results are the norm from the research I completed of the clinic I went to in Turkey. I did not get lucky. Your characterization of all clinics in Turkey is not accurate. Please stop spreading misinformation. Thanks!

I remember the price of my low cost HT, because I was able to put a down payment on a house as well 😉

We can agree to disagree and that’s totally fine! Turkey probably has the most botched hair transplants out of any location, but it’s my opinion that there are a few great clinics that consistently do a great job. I also think that Turkey can provide an avenue for those who are not wealthy to get a great transplant at a lower cost provided they do their research. There’s many guys out there that would much rather put a down payment on a house or car or emergency fund then to spend all that cash on a hair transplant. I was able to afford a down payment on a house due to going to Turkey and I’m so glad I did. It would be a great for this forum to consider the great clinics that are there rather then to cast them all aside but that’s just my opinion

Melvin has repeatedly said that he would not advise anyone to go to Turkey for a hair transplant. He has written off the whole country. I have said there are reputable clinics there that get great results at a much lower cost. Cost should not be the only factor, of course I agree.

Dude thank you! Anyone who writes off a clinic just based on the country it’s in, to me is a biased source.

That’s just not true. There are thousands of guys that get a quality hair transplant at a lower cost clinic. It would be interesting to see what the percentage rate of unsuccessful (can be subjective) hair transplants between lower cost compared to higher cost. The lower cost clinics typically perform 2x, 3x, 4x’s more surgeries than the higher cost. Consequently, there will be a higher number of failed transplants in lower cost clinics due to the sheer number of surgeries they perform. The percentage rate is what is important.
