@PSGHe hasn't logged in since making that post 4.5 years ago. Dr Blakes reply is a good on though. After 2 weeks your going to be fine. 

Thanks @JohnAC71 You are an invaluable resource for this forum! 💪💪👋

Anyone know someone or anyone here who was a smoker and had a successful hair transplant ? I quit a month before my OP. 4 days after I had sheesa. 7 days later started having 3-5 cigs a day and then after two weeks continued with 5 cigs and then quit again. I have been going through some personal issues and I fell for the trap and I feel horrible. Are there high chances I've ruined the whole surgery? Would nothing grow ? One month post op I've had little shedding and I'm paranoid it's because of smoking and maybe the grafts are dead or something. Please share your experiences thank you

Hey @Newbieht

Man, sorry for bothering you after so many years with this.

But I'm going through exactly what you went back in 2017. Just had my FUE transplant 3 weeks back. Didn't smoke 2 weeks post op. But I've started smoking 4-5 cigs per day since the 3 rd week.

Very worried if it will ruin my transplant or not. Could you please advise, did smoking negatively affect your transplant results? How did it go? 

Many thanks in Advance ! :)

Woooah man! This is one's out of the Park.

I'm thrilled to see this. I'm booked with Dr Bicer for this coming July!

Thanks for updating!

Will be following your progress closely

All the best!

Could we an update?

You can see my above mentioned Drs/clinics and you could consider ASMED too? All of these have real patient results on the forum ! 

Yes I hear Asmed is really good but it's also super expensive. I'm from Paris. So If I travel to turkey from Europe, it's going to be for the low price point right?

You have to ignore all the social media stuff, like you said it all marketing. The only way to know if a clinic is good is to see actual patient results. Not the cherry picked clinic ones. BBC is no recommendation for any any clinic ! It’s a TV organization ! And besides all they did was a interview with this clinic. 
 

Start researching some recommended clinics:

I do think there are perfectly decent places in Turkey. For example HLC, Dr Bicer and Dr Pekiner. 

Thanks for your suggestions

I'm a little reluctant for HLC because they too have a very strong marketing presence on platforms. Never sure if they are tricking you.

I shall check the other two docs you suggested right now.

THanks Again

I googled "dr ziya yavuz hairrestorationnetwork" and found a couple of threads. I have no idea about this doctor but you found us at the right time - you should do all your research before booking a surgery.

Spend 6 months here reading every day. Look at photos, find threads that show an entire year of someone's results, read discussions about what doctors people recommend etc. and also check out the list of doctors this forum recommends.

Do not committ to anything for the next 6 months. If in 6 months you still choose Dr Yavuz then at least you can say you made that decision based on research, and not that you rushed into it.

 

Thanks alot for your prompt help!

And I totally agree with you. Alot of research is needed to finalize onto one surgeon. I've been on the research for over 4 months and gonna use the rest of my time before July to research properly. I haven't committed to Dr Yavuz yet.

Do you have any surgeons in mind that you could recommend. Someone's work you've actually seen on someone or your ownself?

Thanks in Advance

Hey Lovely community,

I'm planning for a sapphire FUE in july 2021.

Like all of you I've researched in and out about the best hair surgeons. But it's very hard to find someone with no bad reviews.

But I found one, Dr Ziya Yavuz who has flawless reviews on multiple social platforms and many platforms including BBC UK has endorsed him.

I know it all can be paid marketing, but it's hard to maintain such a stellaf image without actually being good.

Hence, reaching out to you guys? Specially if there is someone here who has got successful results with him, PLEASE SHARE

Or if you know someone who had horrific experiences with Dr Yavuz, Please Share.

Thanks in Advance
