    Dr Cinik's DHI transplant?

    in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers

    Dr Cinik has never been a recommended Dr, well certainly never been on the forums recommended list. More than a few members here have had more than satisfactory results (some actually really good) and yet others have had a subpar one. Some of the worst are those that have Afro hair. Mostly I see Cinik do average or ok work. As we all know it’s one of the most well known hair mills, but certainly not the worst. Some of the best results have been where Dr Cinik has done the “channel opening” and his sisters tech team are involved. 
    End of the day it’s always going to remain a hair mill and has the associated risks that come with it. 
    Dr Turan/Dr Gur are still affordable while mostly doing good work, and are certainly a lot more involved in the procedure.

    Dr Turan/Dr Gur, based in Turkey? Do they charge per graft or a set price?

    Both are fue. But in DHI, there are not pre made incisions and the grafts are instered into the scalp with choi implanter without incisions firstly. Only in Sapphire FUE, Dr C is doing the incisions not In DHI. 

    so I got this checked out from one of his reps, Dr Cinik does the channel opening for the DHI Sapphire if I pay a little more, approx. 3490 euros.

    If we assume your first HT had a 0.5 chance of success, when we multiply that by 0.5 again for another HT, we get 0.25. Don't multiply your risk of a botch. Uncle Cinik is not reliable.

    I completely understand your point but I was completely bold from the front, maybe two silly hair strands existed but after the transplant it was a success. I had a lot of people come up to me and congratulate me and ask for Cinik's details. When I first joined this forum, Dr Cinik had a decent rep and he was a recommended surgeon but 2 years later he's one of the worst. I am not disagreeing with anything you are saying btw.

    so some background info, I had my first transplant with Dr Cinik in 2020, got my front done. Tbf he did a good job and now I need my crown doing so hence the reason why I was looking at his surgery again. 

    There's a high chance I may need up to 3 transplants judging by my hair loss so difficult to opt for a more expensive surgeon. If I had minor hair loss and maybe could get away with one transplant then I'd consider a better surgeon with better ratings :)

    Hi All,

    I am perfectly aware that Dr C isn't highly rated on this forum and its evident with the high rates of poor results.

    But I have a question on his DHI offering, does he use an external team that are DHI experienced and wouldn't this option be better to go for and allows you to avoid having his usual cowboy nurses who he uses for FUE etc. Unless it's the same team?

    More details on what's on offer:

    'Exclusive package and the canal opening is done by Dr. Cinik and as usual the consultation and hair line drawing will be done by him too. In both cases he will be monitoring everything.

    Dr Cinik does not perform DHI, for Dhi we have very experienced Dhi teams have been working with Dr Cinik for over 7 years.'

    Apologises if this has already been covered on this forum.

    Thanks

    You were lucky. 

    Cinik is a notorious hairmill. He has some excellent results but also some really really bad ones... Cinik is a total lottery. 

    There are no other surgeons that I would recommend in that price range. 

    I would go with Bicer, Demirsoy or FUECAPILAR if you want someone decent.

    What's the typical cost for FUECAPILAR? Are the Spain based?

    Hi All,

    In 2020 (Feb) I got my hair transplant done at Dr Cinik's clinic. Paid a little extra for him to do the channel opening. At the time I got my front done but now would like to perform the same procedure on my crown area.

    At the time, I came across some good reviews on Dr Cinik here, which contributed in me choosing him but reading the recent posts/comments on here have me a little worried and hesitant in going back to him

    My results were pretty good (sorry no pics) in the first 1 year. Now (2 years later) its still good but not as dense as the first year. Doesn't help when I am smoking (shisha) 3-4 times a week.

    I paid roughly around £2500 for over 4k grafts. The price was also a factor for me in deciding to go to Dr Ciniks.

    Can you please recommend me a surgeon/clinic that is similar in price to Dr Cinik but has better reviews/results? I know some of you will suggest to save up a little and find a more reputable surgeon but I want to get my crown done in the next few months and have a tight budget.

    Any responses will be appreciated.

     

    Thanks

     

    Scabs?

    rafter_01,

    If it's been 9 days since your transplant you should be fine to now gently massage your implanted area using gentle circular motions with your hand when washing. Because the scabs will soften when they are wet you will find that they will easily prize off onto your fingers. A few days of this and you should be relatively scab free.

    Also when washing your hair under the shower, keep the water lukewarm, hot water can aggravate the scalp.

    Thanks. Exactly what i have started doing.

    I didn’t really touch the recipient area for two weeks and was careful when washing - most of the scabs had fallen off by then but I had some mingled with native hair for a month! Think the best policy is to leave it for as long as you possibly can, it’s around the week mark that they’re secure but why take any chances over a few days.

    So, reading the instructions from my surgeon, it says wash with foam and shampoo for 7 days. This then should be followed by talking a normal shower directly under pressure and start to remove the scabs by massaging. Scabs need to be removed by 3 days so the hair can grow. 

    Is this normal?

    It's 7 days after my transplant. My scabs are falling mainly from my donor area but very little from the transplanted area. 

    Am I being over cautious being a first timer? 

    I currently massage my donor area only do you think it would be wise to massage (softly) my transplanted area now?

    Hi, 

    I have been recommended by my surgeon to have atleast 7 washes (foam and shampoo) before going back to normal showering. Then using the massage technique remove the remaining scabs within 3 days. 

    Does this mean massaging my implanted area too? At the moment I'm softly pressing it when shampooing. I've messaged my clinic but awaiting an answer. 

    How long did u guys wash for before going back to normal showering? 

    Thanks
