Been window shopping for good clinics in USA. Density is what I need in the middle front of my scalp which is a bit tricky since I already have hair albeit thinning hair there. A good doc who can add density in already thinning hair in that area without causing shock loss would be ideal.

But clinics in europe look good. That said, which clinics in USA are great alternatives to those in Europe?

Keser is pretty well known. I'm not sure what your problem is exactly. So they post some results on forums but not on their (seemingly very antiquated) website. Sure it's a bit weird, but what are you accusing them of?

I've never heard of Keser so I dont know what your issue is exactly. But its somewhat weird as you said. But why dont they post their results on their site? I really dont understand the big mystery in doing so. Its just pics.

Actually it's true, there is a Turkish law that forbids before & after results, some LEGIT clinics of kind of plastic surgeriee try to cross it by sharing stories than posts.

Really? So I'm confused and maybe you can clear the air. Why do other turkish ht sites publish their results? For example, if you go Erdogan's website you can see in full view dozens of results.

If indeed it is a law in turkey the intention behind it is understood since there are many charlatan plastic surgery/ht clinics that bs their results around like nothing. But then again its not an efficient law considering that viewing a website's results is the only way prospective clients from afar can judge a clinic. I'm stumped!

Looking forward to your response.

From my understanding it can regrow terminal hairs that are almost invisible to the naked eye and increase the shaft diameter which results in a fuller looking. So it can also aside from regrowing hair it can also enhance the nonvellus hair.

Ok but why do I see before an after pics of guys showing good regrowth using min?

Its fully covered albeit it is slightly thinner than native hair density which i would think even with full eventual maturation is completely normal as its not conceivable to replicate original hair density with any hair transplant.

Photos with lighting and flash on certain areas can make any perception on a transplant to be either great or average depending on those certain contexts to which is why a transplant is also considered an "illusion of density" (when compared to our natural densities) its hard to understand this for inexperienced transplant enthusiasts and understandably so , I myself have learnt alot after getting my first procedure done but im thrilled with the density thus far and it looks great in almost every scenario !

 im excited to see how it matures, in some instances i would even say it seems like i have almost double what i had before so its awesome ! wont complain about further maturation or 4 hair sprouts although 😁

Hello andrew,

Oh so good to hear. How much did you pay for your transplant? i hope that  by next month we can see a better result. Very good to hear from you.

He’s already got good density and growth, I’m confused by this comment 😐

OK he look better but i notice from him in temple area not so much. You still confused?

Hi andrew,

I'm hoping you get the density you deserve. My opinion is you should have already density at 7 months. On 8th month lets see what happens. I have my fingers crossed for you

hi andrew,

Would you care to share updates? Would like to see your progress. Thank you.

Hello everyone. I read that not all clinics offer the same quality prp treatment for hair loss. This is due to not having the same centrifuge, poor quality filter, etc.  This is why I'm interested to know which clinics offer the best quality prp treatment for density in USA.  I await your answer. Thank you.

Why can't you take meds? Where are you located? Are you willing to travel? 

Because medication n general affect me many ways. I'm staying usa for now. Yes I'm willing to travel.

Any quality hair transplant surgeon that is listed on this site would be able to work with a diffused pattern of hair loss or 'within diffuse hair' (it's the same thing). They should also be able to perform both FUE and FUT, repair work, etc. Do you suffer from side effects from DHT blockers? Have you tried minoxidil? All the best.

Hello,

With respect I cannot accept that because I talked to few doctors on list and they tell me they do not work within diffuse hair.

I am very sensitive to medication in general which explain why i cannot take it.

8 hours ago, Dr. Suhail Khokhar said:

Yeah, you should be on finasteride and minoxidil. They'll both help with shock loss too. The surgeons recommended on here do great work. Where are you located? Here is the link to the recommended surgeons:

Hello,

I cannot take any meds.

But the list you post shows long list. Which of them do you know does highly specialized work within diffuse hair is my question. Thank you I await answer.

All experienced doctors should be able to work around existing native hair. You will most likely be required to shave the recipient area so the surgeon has a clear vision of the area and not damage existing hair. All that being said are you meds to help maintain the native hair? This would be important prior to surgery to help keep them strong enough to grow back post HT.

Oh no you dont understand. I need a good doctor known for doing amazing work not around native hair but within existing hair. Also I cannot take any meds. If you dont mind telling me what doc is good for within that diffuse hair I will appreciate it.

Hello everyone,

I would like to know if anyone here can recommend doctor who does very amazing work on diffuse hair.

Hello mustang,

Forgive me but can you please post the pics of your result because its important for me to make decision regarding couto. Thank you,

Who do you think is better, Couto or Zarev ?

Paranoia uh?

Some facts

1) Couto is the most successful FUE hair transplant surgeon in the world

2) Couto has a 2-3 year waiting list for surgery. So much he doesn't even need a website 

3) I had surgery with him. Go to his practice on a Saturday and see how many people are there. He is full of patients.

Hi mustang,

Thank you for your info about Couto. But can you post your pics to see work he did on you?

I am confused. His 1st post with pictures show good progress postop. But his second post with pics shows him losing much hair. Anyone can explain this phenomenon?

HI everyone. Is Dr. Emrah Cinik a good doctor? His website only has few before/after pics. Then on youtube he has many videos of patients preop talking about themselves but doesnt show them postop.This is very strange. Anyone have opinion on this?

 I basically short-listed HCL and Dr Pekiner. I haven't decided where I will have my HT. But these two names are on the short list for me in Turkey. I also met two guys who had HT at Asmed and both looked impressive. But, from what I have read, patient care and post-care is that much better at the other two. I base this "evaluation" simply from the sheer volume of posts, articles and testimonials I have read.

Thank you I will research hcl and pekiner further.

You could get butchered here in Australia or any country in the world for that matter. The problem with Turkey is that there is no real protocol or standards to oversee the many clinics that operate there.

Finally the number of people who have created a thread on this forum stating that they have had a botched hair transplant from Turkey far out way anywhere else.

Wow. That is something to consider. I agree with you except for price being an indicator of good result. I believe price is indicator of quality of work. Let me explain. I believe if price is high reputation likely to be high. But if price is too low it is obvious that its great possibility the clinic will not have good reputation and result will be poor.

But as I mentioned before  I will research hcl and pekiner. So far Turkey doesnt seem like good idea but have to research only these 2 clinics to be sure. If everything fails I will choose Dr. Lorenzo of spain or doctors in USA.

Thank you so much for this info

Yes, I actually have an amazing result right now at 5 months. Here is a pic of pre op vs now

 

Nw4, I had a 3000 FUT graft Megasession. 

Hi. Ok  this looks good. Who was your doctor who performed this?

I myself would not spare money and I would go to the best. But I also know that there are so many people who would not be able to get a transplant in these top clinics in their lifetime because they will never be able to afford it. The Turkish forum is extremely active in terms of results being posted. And majority of these operations are performed in more affordable clinics most of you probably don't know about. So after browsing hundreds of topics here and there, I now believe there is a middle ground. The risk is worth taking in some of these more affordable clinics if you can't afford the best. There are clinics charging reasonable prices and still producing a high ratio of success, but obviously not as high as the best ones.

To conclude, I think hair transplant is an important decision and it should be approached with cold logic and not sentiment. And logic dictates that we should research the individual clinics as much as we possibly can and consider all the good and the bad results. Turkey has some awful hair mills with no ethics. It also has amazing clinics with doctors passionate about their work and then many many in between.

To answer your question, the best in my opinion are Muttalip Keser, Kaan Pekiner, HLC and ASMED. These are also the most expensive.

Very good advice I read your whole commente. Knowing that US is expensive I plan to research these turkish clinics you recommended.  If i come across a clinic I not like I will scratch off my list. If in comparing these clinics to US I find theyre not to my satisfaction I will only then consider US or europe in final analysis. Thank you.

He’s had some great results over the years, but unfortunately also some questionable ones . . There was a spate of some pretty shoddy results on here between late 2018- early 2020. 
 

Diffuse loss patients present harder cases for sure - the doctor who’s name always come up first for me in regards to diffuse loss in Europe, is Dr Lorenzo, in Spain. 

So asmed not good anymore or has recent bad results enough for people avoid him. I understand.

Yes I read about Lorenzo from spain. Hes excellent doctor. I am greatly considering him. But do you know any docs that does great work on diffuse hair in USA?

Yes there are Clincs and Drs I could recommend:

Dr Pekiner. 

Dr Bicer.

HLC clinic.

This forum recommends Dr Yaman.

Thank you for that. But what about Dr. Erdogan with asmed? Any good?

Also i almost forgot to ask about diffuse hair. What doctor you recommend does great job with diffuse hair in front scalp?

Hello to everyone. I saw on  youtube amazing hair transplant results clinics in the country of Turkey. There are many clinics there that do offer surgeries. As you know there are many bad clinics. But there are good clinics there too. Which are the most reputable and best clinics there that you can recommend?

It very well could be enough time, and without having actual statistics, I would venture to say that most users on this forum see considerable results by month 7. That said, there's no way to know with certainty how fast your results will come in and there's definitely not a guarantee, but I do think the odds would typically be in your favor. 

Sounds good thank you very much
