So I did the operation 2 weeks ago, around 3200 grafts, ofcourse it was not enough to go as far as the crown. I'm not used for this very short hair and it feels cold, so i hope the hair grows again soon.

Brilliant! I had 3200 grafts. How many are you expecting to have?

She said 3500, I think its around the same number in the end. how much did you pay?

I have only seen one or 2 real patient reviews from her and they were good. Her before and afters look good on insta too. I don’t know enough about her tbh but I have not seen any negative reviews or comments. I advised fue capiliar cause I have seen a lot of real patient reviews on a Facebook group. 

I actually checked both and compared, I ended up writing with 20 clinics and by some time passing I could decide with a clear head depending on how engaged the doctors are and what expected and what is not. Some doctors that claim to have a name promise to do 5000-6000 grafts in one session. the serious doctors said that this is not realistic and not good for the donor area. 

I prefered to choice between dr. bicer and another one because they were honest about what to be expected and that i may need a second op to get more density. Some doctors do 2 or 3 patients and very few had only one patient per day. I had also a video call with the doctor directly where she was ready to answer any question and give more information.

Aha, I understand but why did you then wrote: "am i ruined now?"?

You choosed the best doctor from the ones you listed but as it has ben written before, i would gone for Eugenix considering that they can at least
do as well and probably better considering the condition you are in now

Its irony? Whatever, I'm happy with my choice

Just now, Ajamilo said:

Hi @candleshades:

People have given you a lot of advices and you have made your own decision and gone for Dr.Bicer.
Why do you still doubt about it?

 

I'm not doubting, otherwise I wouldn't have decided for her. Its a big decision and i wanted to be sure of my choice thats all.

Dr turan fue capiliar best on that list by a mile. Only does one patient a day cost around 3k

I have a booking now with dr. Bicer for around the same amount and she does one patient a day also, am i ruined now?

Actually that is a good idea. Recovery by the beach on the Turkish coast sounds great. Well, in that case, I have met a guy who had HT at HCL and his result renewed my interest in HT and I also met two guys who had HT at Asmed, also great results. None were cheap though. A lot more than people expect to pay for HT in Turkey. 

I have now limited choice between 3 and got offer from them: Dr. Bicer, Dr. Ilhan Serdaroglu and Dr. Melike Kulahci

Asmed turned to be a hair mill also according to some people i asked.

Hi Candleshades, I did some research about clinics in Turkey and met some guys who had HT there (with amazing results), but those good quality clinics will too cost around 8K mark. Maybe not 10K, but easily around 6-8K, for solid density. I am also in Germany and the travel to Turkey before and after surgery does not appeal to me personally, but it doesn't seem to be an issue with many guys. 

Yes, I can understand that, but with the lockdown in Germany I would rather spend a month in Turkey then somewhere by the sea and recover if you know what I mean

Not quite Greece, but in the vicinity, HDC in Cyprus is well affordable and of high quality. Recommended by this website. 

@Doron Harati is the rep. 

a bit above my budget at the moment to invest 8 or 10k in a hair. Not with Corona catastrophic outcome unfortunately

@candleshadesThe first doctor, I've never heard of her, besides the fact that being a member of ISHRS is not a guarantee at all, the second (Serkan Aygin) is a hair mill, you will only see it for 5 minutes, no more if  not to trace your hairline and then it will disappear.  I have seen some successful transplants at the Serkan clinic, (he works a lot with non-Italian "clients"), but I have also seen some unsuccessful ones, in his clinic you have to be lucky that you get the experienced team, it's a lottery  .  I have told you what I know.

Thanks for your feedback, the last thing I need is a mass production factory. I'm looking for people who at least doing the bigger part of the operation by themselves. But if the qualifications doesnt tell much then its a bit tricky also. I'm trying to do my homework not say sorry in the end. 

I read on the hairloss experiences also many talking about different other doctors with more or less different feedbacks. It's quite hard to get to the right place in Turkey. 

Eventuelly any recommendations for greece, Czech or around there??

Forget about her. At this level of hairloss you can not play Russian roulette with the odds of becoming a repair patient without actually having enough donor to be fixed. 

Go with the trusted clinics, pls. 

Thank you for the advice, I'm well aware of that and I'm not really trusting any of them, I'm just asking for advice.

I see, thanks for the advice, for dr. Melike, she operates 2,3 patients a day. She said that she will do the hairline and the pores but she will not do the transplant of grafts to the pores

If you have decided to go to Turkey, the only advice we can give you is to be very careful where you will go, there, anyone can claim to be a surgeon, to own a clinic and to be able to offer you an excellent result.  Good luck

@candleshades

For your hair loss level and budget I’d recommend Eugenix in India. Check out @Zoomster review and results, as well as @Fluffhead. 

I have now two offers from Dr. Melike Kulahci, used to be a board member at European hair transplant society and ISHRS. She offered 3500 Grafts FUE and said more wont be professional or safe for the donor area.

and another offer from Dr. Serkan Aygin Should be known as a serious doctor with his own clinic. Her offered 4500 grafts

Unfortunately India is blocked at the moment so Turkey stays as an option

Yes, but they are not on your list though. Perhaps only Dr. Bicęr, but there are still few cases, among other things still at the beginning of the journey, to be able to say with certainty.

Can you recommend other doctors in Turkey that are not in this list? Thanks

Whereabouts in the world are you ? For me it’s all about the travel restrictions currently In place. 

Im in Germany

Just now, JohnAC71 said:

No my 3 FUE was done by someone else. I also had 2 FUT In Uk. But like you I need to add density so looking at Eugenix next. Apart from doing good work with higher Norwoods they also do some excellent BHT. 

How much did you pay for your op with Eugenix if I may ask?

Just now, JohnAC71 said:

I’m not against Turkey at all. Dr Bicer is a good choice for example and we have quite a few patient results on the forum. 
But i can’t recommend some of the low cost hair mills on your list. I have had 3 FUE in Turkey. 

I wouldnt recommend that either, in the end its a decision that should be made correctly and thats why I'm asking here around. You did the three Ops at Bicer?

1 minute ago, JohnAC71 said:

Maybe try Eugenix they have excellent Drs and 3 tiers of pricing. They have many results on this forum with higher Norwood levels. 

I'm looking at them at the moment. Is there a specific reason why you dont recommend turkey?

Just now, JohnAC71 said:

Have you got any pics from the ht itself? A couple of clinics that spring to mind would be Bisanga and Eugenix. Both doing good work with higher Norwoods.

I think you need quite a lot of grafts to give you good density. 

No, I didnt make any images, was not interested , but he did quite a good job. I think maybe I need 3 or 4000. Maybe the one in Belgium is above my budget at the moment.

Just now, JohnAC71 said:

Ok so was that FUE or FUT and how many grafts? If you can please share pics. 
Is there a reason you was thinking Turkey? If your happy to travel then I could recommend quite a few other clinics. 
@Doron Harati HDC (Cyprus) for example. Or Eugenix (India) 

It was FUT, 2000 grafts, the result was ok for a start and it was clear that I need a second OP. The reason for turkey that its cheaper comparing to what i payed in germany and that there are quite also good doctors in Turkey. 

Thanks John for your advice, i actually did my first op 6 years ago in Germany. What I liked that the doctor was honest and clear that I will need a second Op for density

Hi, 

I'm a new member here and I would like some recommendations about reliable doctors in Turkey for hair transplantation. I would prefer also to only shave the donor region and not the whole head. 

I came across these names:

Ilhan Serdaroglu

IdealofmeD

Ozge Ergun

Mehmet Demircioğlu

Dr. Balwi

Dr. Ilker Apaydin

Vera Clinic

Serkan Aygin

Dogan Turan or Gokhan Gur

Dr Karadeniz

Dr Arslan Musbeh

Smile Clinic

Dr Bicer

Vedat Tosun

Dr Sirvan

Dr. Olcay Saygin

I know the list is long and I need to shrink it to best 3 quality and price balance. Most probably I will do FUE and as I experience now through communication DHI is just a gimmic for marketing? Advices here woud be great two

Thank you so much
