    @DanielMYou have been very brave, may I ask you what or who led you to choose Cinik?

    An unreliable Facebook group where the group admin or influencer of the group will get a decent job or get lucky with results, but when the followers of that group go to actually get surgery, they don't get the same attention or care because they're not an influencer.

  2. Hope this review helps others. I flew all the way to Istanbul only to leave disappointed and without a HT. Dr Cinic spent 5 minutes with me. During that time he freehanded a hairline (no lasers to center my face or anything). When I got back to the hotel I noticed the hairline was uneven as seen in the pic (even though my hair loss is symmetrical). I said ok no problem. I'll have him correct it tomorrow before surgery and have him lower it and straighten it out (lowering was suggested by other doctor performed clinics I consulted with). 

    That same night the "lead tech" texts me to eat a good breakfast. The next day the transport driver arrived the moment the breakfast buffet opened and told me "the clinic has food". I arrived at the clinic and they gave me a cold tomato and cheese sandwich. 

    After my "breakfast" I asked to speak with the "lead tech". I've been communicating with him on WhatsApp the whole time and he knew perfect English. They told me "oh he's just a sales guy across the street". I'm thinking um ok? I then ask for my translator. Turns out there is no personal translator. Just someone from the front office comes in that knows English. I tell him the issue and ask to speak with Dr. Cinik. "He's not in right now. He won't be in for another hour. Just start the procedure." I said I'm not starting until I'm comfortable with the hairline. They then tried to convince me to start the anestetics. I refused. 

    So we're waiting. Meanwhile the techs are running in and out of the room taking cigarettes breaks, kids really, early 20's if that, not exaggerating.

    Once he finally showed up he had an attitude "What's the problem?" I said my hairline was off and I wanted the hairline to come down some and straighten out. He said no. I said "you can't lower it at all?" He said no, then he corrected his mistake and left the room. I'm then sitting there thinking, should I go through with it even though I don't like the hairline? Taking into account everything else that just seemed off, I decided not to. I asked for the person from the front desk again, waited another 15 minutes, and finally told them I can't move forward and want a refund. Then more bullshit starts. 

    I wouldn't be refunded the deposit, they also said they're gonna subtract another $200 for the techs showing up. They also wouldn't be able to pay for transportation back to the hotel. They couldn't refund my original credit card transaction and they would have to send me a wire transfer (Meaning I'd still have to pay any foreign transaction fees from my credit card). 

    Before I left I had them put in writing the refund amount. It wouldn't be until weeks later and pestering them everyday that I finally got the refund.

    The hotel room was loud. I had to knock on the wall twice. The hotel informed me the day of arrival that breakfast wasn't included for that day, even though I arrived during their breakfast buffet hours. It also seemed like even on the day of surgery it was perfectly setup so that the transport driver arrived before I could even eat breakfast. 

    Moral of the story. You're really just a number to them. What you think is personal in the beginning is just a sales guy being as nice as possible to get a sale.

    don't look for ease of travel...look for reputable doctors first. Portugal and Spain has some of the best like the ones joe mentioned...also check out a couple Drs. in Mexico, close to your backyard speaking of ease of travel 

    Who in Mexico was you thinking of?

  4. I've been going through the process of speaking with clinics and seem to need around 3000-3500 graphs. One clinic is telling me it can be done in a day, which I see a lot of people do. The other "doctor only" clinic says they want to split it into two days. 

    What is easier to deal with 1 day or 2?

    Im worried if I do a 2 day split, I'm gonna dread the 2nd day procedure.
