@JC71Thanks for the tips and sharing the chart -- very helpful! I reached out to both Dr. Demirsoy and HLC a month ago and they never got back. Any idea how to reach Dr. Pekiner? He seems to have disappeared from the internet.

@Highlander99 Who did you end up going with in the end? How was it overall?

@Linesman12 How's it coming along? Any update on your results?

Spoke with Dr. Bicer's rep, she's taking appointments for November & December at this point Dr. Yaman's results are a tossup, imo. And he seems to be taking on more than 2 patients a day which is a red flag for me. Thanks for the tips.

@JC71 I might have to reconsider looking more into Dr. Gur and Dr. Bicer -- she seems to be quite popular on here. Still a bit surprised there aren't many posts about Dr. Arslan Musbeh from Hairmedico. He seems to checkoff on all the things to look out for with a proper HT surgeon in Turkey (Well-qualified, good/natural results, directly involved with each surgery, 1-2 patients/day, good reviews overall, etc.) Are there any other surgeons you'd recommend from Turkey?

Good move backing out. You want to go with a surgeon that's actually directly involved with your procedure rather than leaving it to his/her assistants.

Yes, the 18% GST is standard in India. Have you looked into Hasson & Wong in Vancouver? They're one of the best surgeons internationally and I believe they have a consultation office in Toronto.

Thanks for the welcome, @Gatsby. Turkey seems to be the trending hair transplant hot spot producing quality results, even with the "hair mills" dragging it down. I've looked into Portugal, Spain, England and the U.S. (my home turf), but the results overall aren't that much better in comparison to their price points. I know Dr. Bicer's one of the best out of Turkey for HTs but her graft estimate was on the higher side and I'm a bit concerned about over harvesting. Plus she recommends a 2nd session and frankly, I don't think my donor area could sustain a viable 2nd session without over harvesting. If you have any other reputable surgeon recommendations in Turkey outside of my list I'd love to hear it. Thanks in advance!

@digi23 I agree, Dr. Gur is one of the better of the bunch but I can't really find many recent before and after results. Any suggestions of where to look? What do you think about Dr. Civas from Civas Hair Transplant in Ankara? His credentials are stellar in comparison to the other surgeons in Turkey, bar none (ie. FISHRS, ABHRS, IAHRS, EHRS, AAHRS)

Hi All, First post on the forum. I've been looking into hair transplants in Turkey and after much research (going down the rabbit hole, that is) have narrowed it down to Dr. Arslan Musbeh from Hairmedico in Istanbul. His experience, work/results (natural hairlines/no over harvesting) and credentials seem legit + sees 1-2 patients a day -- which is ideal. With his VIP package, he does all the extractions and incisions, supervises his trained assistants during implantation. TL;DR: Basically, wanted to see if anyone had recently had their hair transplant at his clinic (in 2021 or even 2022) or had any thoughts/experience/feedback on him and Hairmedico overall. Below are my shortlisted surgeons who take on 1 (max 2) patient(s) per day: Dr. Ekrem Civas from Civas Hair Transplant in Ankara Dr. Karadeniz from AEK in Istanbul Dr. Gur from FUE Capilar/Gur Hair Transplant Dr. Ilker Apaydin from Istanbul Would you recommend any of them over Dr. Arslan? If so, why? Thanks in advance!

If you don't mind sharing, how much was the total cost for the 3200 grafts?
