It's a little strange you shed so much 3 months in and after 5 months the density is still very weak. Did you contact the clinic? I'm one month in from Dr Turan and I've not shed much at all so far. Hopefully you will start to accelerate soon!

You didn't need 2700 in the crown 2000 max and the rest in mid scalp. I can't understand why they put so little on my crown. I contacted the clinic to ask them to review this. Best of luck to you!

Dude why wouldnt you just shave your head if you couldnt get the results you wanted? I mean dont take this the wrong way but in my opinion the state of your hair looks much funnier than if you just had it shaved. Im not really sure I understand your reasoning here...all the same I wish you good results!

Hey man how was your experience?

Yeap. I'm disappointed as well with my mine. Dr doesn't seem to care much and is all about the cash.

Thanks for your response, I dont know if its the translators fault or the dr but I clearly emphasized and told the translator to tell the doctor I wanted to focus on the crown as it was almost if not completely bald. I told him i needed much more than 1000 grafts and to prioritize the crown. It doesnt make sense to have such a dense hairline and now a still bald crown and thinning top. He took over 4000 grafts and there are mostly in the hairline which was not nearly as bad as the crown.

I was using topical finasteride on and off and now decided to switch to oral 0.5mg everyday since topical was so messy and annoying to apply. I agree with you. Im pissed about the crown and I dont know what to do. Im sure they wont refund me partially thats for sure. I just cant understand the logic when i specifically told the translator to tell him to focus more on that crown and that i wanted 2k in the crown and 2k in the front max. I dont know what to do at this point...

The results from your first surgery with Apaydin are not good i must say. Very poor density and bad hairline design. Lets hope your second surgery fixes this. All the best and happy growing!

Thanks a lot. Im curious to see if the multiple grafts they put in the crown will add more coverage as the hairline is mostly singles. Perhaps this is why density needs to be higher in the hairline, I dont know what it is but i just hate having a bald spot. I feel like peoples eyes burn a whole in the back of my head which could be paranoia but it just bothers me lol.

Thanks for your feeback and I agree with you. I'm not sure if things got lost in translation or the doctor ignored my concern altogether since he doesnt speak English but yes,my crown was the biggest concern. The front is much easier to hide as nobody walks around pulling their hairline back. I didnt think Turans price was cheap for Turkish clinics to be honest...Yes it sucks that I will have to go through this process all over again. Any recommendations for clinics in europe at a reasonable price? I cant afford more than 2 euros per graft and think I will need about another 1000 at least for the crown, DHI seems to be the least invasive measure..

thanks and I agree. I believe Turan is a good doctor just wish there was a better way of communicating with him. All in all Turan is an ethical and good Doctor especially for the price.

Hey thanks for the comment. Yes I was thinking about some smp but I also may go back to do another 1000 grafts in the crown. I dont see how he even cou,d have put 1000 grafts there and I told him to put more than the quoted 1200 in my analysis. Im a bit annoyed by this.

€5000- €250 discount since I booked it last minute. I was originally going to go with Yaman but I changed my mind two weeks before the operation.

Thanks man lets hope. Just wish the crown was denser..

I have no idea because I dont have the report yet. It takes time for the clinic to send it out they said. Originally in my proposal Dr. Turan recommended 1000-1200 grafts in the crown but I told the translator to tell them its not enough and to add more to the crown. I know clinics tend to favor the hairline apparently its easier to get density there and the results are better. The crown apparently has less blood flow which means less grafts survive after implanted so you need to put a lot more there. Im sure I will have to have another transplant for the crown which im not looking forward to but it should be a lot easier this time. To me it doesnt even look like 1000 grafts were in the crown to be honest. That pisses me off because the crown really bothers me as my hair is dark and thick especially when it grows and my skin is fair so it looks so obvious the bald spot. I dont know what to do at this point.. Just try to stay calm and make sure the translator doesnt rush and you tell him a few times to focus on the crown and that you want the crown as dense as possible because the bald spot is your main concern, perhaps he has a good reason for not filling the crown for me i dont know..

Sure no problem. I hope it goes well for you. Just make sure your translator listens to all of your concerns and if you have to be annoying and don't be shy because the doctor won't speak with you. You should be fine try not to worry.

Thanks for your comment. Yes, overall I can see they really prioritized the hairline and i'm not sure why. I havent been given the graft distribution as of yet but hopefully will receive it soon. Perhaps I didnt insist enough on the crown but I thought I made it pretty clear. Perhaps I have already started shedding from the crown area. Too early to tell.

Hey everyone, I got a hair transplant in Istanbul on March 27th at FUE capilar with Dr. TURAN. I was originally going to go with yaman but when doing more research I liked that Turan was the one implanting the grafts and felt he was a more ethical doctor. Upon arriving everything was pretty smooth except the hotel I was originally stating in was pretty crappy and had to move rooms 3 times. I asked the coordinator kerem to please move me to another hotel which they did after the second night and I really appreciated. I was picked up the next day to have my surgery which would be split into 2 sessions since I needed 4000 grafts for the front and crown. The doctor doesn't speak a word of English or doesn't seem interested at even attempting to to be honest. Everyone was nice Ahmet the translator seems like a nice kid but the whole thing felt very rushed to be honest. Anyway, when the doctor began to draw my hairline I mentioned to Kerem that I wanted my crown to have more emphasis during the procedure as that was my main concern with my hair. I have fair skin and dark hair with a big bald spot which makes it very obvious. I believe Ahmet relayed this message to Dr Turan but it seems the entire evaluation was rushed and it couldn't have been more than 5-10 minutes. I should have been more insistant now that I think about it but I trusted the doctor knew what to do with all of his experience. Anyway the operation took 2 days and as everyone im sure knows the anesthesia was the most painful part. The clinic was OKAY it seemed clean but at the same time not the most up to date but I have no idea what the standard is for a Hair transplant clinic as this is my first one. Honeslty the hygenic standards of the surgical tools were questionable to me but I could be wrong. All in all I have to say at this point I'm a bit disappointed with the clinic and doctor as I just felt the entire procedure was rushed and felt very transactional. Not once did Dr Turan ask if I was okay during the operation it was only mehmet or the nurses who made the attempt to ask me if I was okay or feeling any pain. To me this is weird as the doctor is the one who should be most concerned. This could be the language barrier but I don't know. Let's see guys I will post some pics of before and after and I would really appreciate everyone's feedback on my case as I'm pretty disappointed at this point.

I think FUE capilars price is very reasonable. If anything its cheap. Anything cheaper there is a reason for that. Why do you think Yaman charges a flat rate lol cmon.

Mike, how can you be so deceiving and misleading as to make people believe you’re an actual patient?!! Thats really sleezy and tacky man shame on you.

This guy works for cosmedica!!!
