I am a pacient of Dr. Koray and I'm 34 years old. I did 5020 graphs on 11 and 12th of October 2022. I decided to choose the most expensive option at 3 euro per graph, where the doctor makes all incisions, thus trying to maximize the chances to have a good result.
I’ll try to summarize below key points I like and don’t like.
Pros
The patient responsible was very nice, answered every question I had, gave me very clear indications of what to do post procedure and responds quite quickly to my questions on WhatsApp;
They really give you the feeling of a premium experience. Everything inside the clinic was really well built specific for a hair transplant clinic. I assume the investment was not small;
The operation overall was very painless and gave me everything I needed;
Cons
During the incisions made by Dr. Koray they put me to sleep. That was in the first day of the operation, when they did my hairline and frontal part; I don’t want to speculate now why they did that, but I don’t like it honestly;
They don’t want to provide the readings from Ke-Bot with the counting of implanted graphs. They only provide that 1 page with the number of graphs implanted and other details, which is not based on Ke-Bot scanning, as far as I understand. Thus, Ke-Bot is more like an internal software and a marketing tool, rather than an equipment useful for the patient;
Even though I paid the most expensive option, Dr. Koray spend only 6-7 minutes with me before and after the operation;
Other
Unfortunately, I discovered this forum a few days ago, so I didn’t know about the issues with Asmed clinic that other members here are talking about. As someone that does industry research for large investment funds, I’m a bit frustrated that I didn’t do my research well. However, I see there are some very good results presented on this forum as well, so at this point I try to remain positive.
I know it’s very early, but compared with other Asmed patients here, I’m a bit concerned with the density in the frontal part, after the scabs have fallen, as you can see on picture day 16;
We agreed on 5000 graphs initially, but then Dr. Koray told me my donor capacity is 7000 graphs, which is quite below average. When he told me that, I should have decreased the number of graphs to 4000-4500, just to keep a little bit more graphs in the donor area.
I believe so far I managed to follow the guidelines ‘by the book’, I’m trying to do all I can to increase the chances for a good result. I started taking Finasteride immediately after the procedure.
I started this post to have a history of my evolution, by month.
