Hello All, Wanted to pay it forward and share my hair transplant experience here as it's been very helpful in my journey and decision making process, so thank you to everyone involved! Disclaimer that I have zero affiliation with this clinic and was not given any discount or urged to make this post whatsoever. Background 25 Yrs Receding hairline for about 7 years stabilized with finasteride but recently switched to dutasteride in lieu of HT Choice of Surgeon I had reached out to several clinics over the span of a few months who really stood out to me when it came to reconstructing dense hairlines, Freitas/Feriduni/Pinto. There were a few reasons why I ultimately chose Dr. Pekiner. First and most importantly his results when it came to recreating hairlines was some of the best and most dense I've ever seen (seen them in person as well). Pekiner is very highly regarded on the Italian forums and there are lots of results there. I really liked the way all of his patients looked directly after surgery... the work is always extremely clean and dense this stood out to me. Another very important factor was that the doctor does ALL extractions and implantations by his own hand and spans large sessions over the course of a few days (mine was done in 2 days). Experience Overall the experience was great! I stayed across the street at the hotel the clinic suggests and had my SO with me which helped ease some of my anxiety. Dr Kaan and his small team were lovely and I felt really safe with him and trusted his process. The first morning we designed snd drew the hairline together and calculated the amount of grafts needed. After that he got right to work. The two days of surgery were set up pretty much exactly the same, extractions-break-implants-lunch-extractions-break-implants. I know a lot of people say hair transplants are painless but I have to disagree with this. I found the anesthesia to be exceptionally painful, especially the second day, no pain no gain I guess. After completed we took some photos and then they next day I was off back to the USA, definitely recommend flying Turkish Airlines business class it was really nice and comfortable. Overall I feel really confident with my choice in Dr Pekiner and would recommend him entirely! So far healing really well, definitely had some swelling but its going down. Not sure how often I'll update this probably once every few months but let me know any questions! Graft Breakdown 1's - 279 2's - 1527 3's-1121 4's- 82 Total - 3009

I believe they are adding the option of having technicians do extractions for a cheaper price and then having Kaan do the surgery for a more expensive price, hence the rebrand? Not entirely sure. The reps # is +393929905178

Any update?

They're rebranding their clinic. I can give you the reps #, i'm scheduled to see him in a week

Where did you get oral min?

Hi everyone, Can someone please point me in the right direction as to where to get DUT and oral minoxidil online, prescription and all? Thanks!

Something conservative along these lines. This is a discussion I’ve already had with Dr. Rahal. Was looking more for an opinion about surgeons.

Hello Everyone I am looking for some guidance as I’ve been on the forums for quite some time and am finally taking the plunge. I would like to book the procedure sometime by the end of summer/ fall. Trying to decide what surgeon to use to restore my hairline. I had a consultation with Dr. Rahal a few months back and was quoted 2,000 grafts FUE, however lately I don’t see many results from him and am losing some confidence. I’m based in New York so the travel there for me would be easy. I am also considering Dr. Freitas in Spain. any advise would be highly appreciated. Some background -25 years old -stabilized hairloss - been on finasteride for 7 years.
