I see too many contradictions in this thread. While I'm sure the OP appreciates that you now consider it a bad result, I respectfully disagree, your main issue must be getting to the bottom of this bad result. It isn't just a bad result it's @digi23 a person who was decent enough to document their journey on HRN, to help us. The doctors reply does nothing to explain why errors were made in this case and how they will be corrected to ensure they never happen again. Poor yield may be down to physiological reasons(not applicable in this case) but multi's in the hairline and temples, bunches of singles, misaligned grafts - that's poor protocol standards or human error. What is it? The inconsistencies continue, look how resolute your response was to @George Clooney when he pointed out his observations of a patients hair transplant at a recommended clinic. https://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/topic/59596-ht-at-eugenix-nw3-2612-grafts-on-24-march-2021-by-dr-priyadarshini-das-mumbai-branch/page/6/ When @digi23 felt attacked. He needed to defend his position. I don't feel someone who has the courage to present their case on a public forum should feel attacked. I think we should applaud the patients that come on here and give their honest opinion. Terms like 'unnecessary negativity' and 'nitpick' share similarities with clinics who try to change a persons perception of reality aka gaslighting. They have no place on a forum here to support patients and prospective patients. Are we to draw the conclusion the only real consistency here, both were an attacks (directly or indirectly) on a recommended clinic? I know these exchanges seldom end well no matter how valid or well presented the concerns. So it's been nice knowing you guys🤣 Who moderates the moderator?

That's a real shame. They are already vulnerable by virtue of their hair loss. It's sad that there are people (hair mills) willing to disfigure someone for a quick buck. Perhaps @Dr Resul Yaman can give us some insight into the position of the Turkish authorities to these hair mills?

Get both doc's to do a side, document your progress and we'll have a result 12 months later🙃

Judging by the popularity of this thread and the number of followers ( plus all the silent followers). There is a substantial commercial opportunity to provide a personalised, high-quality service from Turkey at a realistic price. The 'race to bottom' hair mills may cash in, in the short term, but medical tourists are becoming more informed day by day. It sounds like you are making positive changes with the support of HRN. Just like a soccer manager is only as good as their last game, the same can be said of an HT clinic. Reputations can take a long time to build yet are destroyed much quicker. The scrutiny of results has never been higher. I look forward to seeing the progress.

I believe both these post speak of the need for highly trained staff given the time to do a quality job. Lets remember the status of recommended surgeon shouldn't just rely on payment of subs (important as this is to keep the lights on) but also upholding the values that got them the 'recommended' status in the first place.

Normally the grafts are sorted under magnification, so the person implanting knows which ones are the singles and implants accordingly.

Thats why suggested Melvin should clarify with the clinic. It would be unfair to the clinic if this was an isolated case. It's good to have price options - we just need to know where the corners are cut.

The problem is ... If the budget clinics were upfront and said 'We don't use magnification so you might get multi's in your hairline and/or thin patches where we bunched singles but hey what do you expect for the price!' Instead the website states "He (Dr Yaman) is committed to staying active in this field through ongoing education and incorporating the latest advances into his practice." Loupes were first used is 1876🙃

I believe they are a recommend clinic on here? I think @Melvin- Moderator should clarify if and how magnification is used?

I'm with Joe on this one.

Your donor looks great and the recipient is progress nicely. Cheers for the update.

The OP has put his cards on the table - he wants his money back

Good call - It's a poignant time for all us with what is going on in the world. "I may disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it" - Voltaire

Come on @JoeMan you don't really think a patient sits there like a lemon and has no input in the hair line. Much less someone who has already had the experience of a failed transplant and done extensive research. Remember your design consultation?

Agreed!
