Dr. Yaman promised a density of 35 grafts per centimeter in the anterior line and 30 grafts per centimeter at the top. I had hair transplanted over an area of approximately 11*12 centimeters, 4100 / 11*12 = 31 grafts per centimeter. What happened is visible in the photo with a ruler, no more than 50%. During the second HT, it was planned to transplant hair to the top of the head, but now we need to thicken the front part, and there is no longer enough hair for the top of the head. I also forgot to tell you that Dr. Yaman positions himself as a member of ishrs, but at the time of my HT he was not there, I was told that this was temporary, but Dr. Yaman is still not on the website.

Thanks for the advice, I will definitely look at the reviews about these doctors on this forum.

One year after HT. There is a lot that can be said, but I will try to present the results of my HT with Dr. Yaman as briefly and informatively as possible. Liked: transfer: met at the airport, taken to the hotel, from the hotel to the clinic. Comfortable and spacious Mercedes. Included in the cost of the HT, no additional payment is required; hotel: comfortable room, breakfast included. It is not far from the clinic. Included in the cost of the HT, no additional payment is required; front line design: the design was developed by Dr. Yaman himself, I think he did it perfectly, the creation of the front line suits me, it looks quite natural; donor area: I think that after removing 4100 grafts my donor area looks good and a second HT is possible; translator: nice girl, answered all questions and helped as much as possible. Did not like: survival rate of grafts: the most important thing is the survival rate of hair. The doctor promised 30 at the top of the head, 35 in the front line, in the photo with the ruler you can see that there is not even half of this. This is the biggest factor why I consider HT a failure. The operation lasted more than 9 hours, which I consider a very long time. A very long break for lunch, about 2 hours. After lunch, I waited in the operating room for about an hour for the doctor’s assistants to continue. I don’t know how long grafts can remain in the refrigerator, but perhaps this is one of the reasons for the poor results. guarantee: there is simply no guarantee, this is a marketing ploy, no one will return your money or fix anything. Under any pretext they will tell you that you yourself are to blame for the failure. The certificate itself was sent to me only when I had already returned home, only after I reminded about it. They didn’t give it to me right away, because on the second day Dr. Yaman was not at the clinic; doctor's assistants: people are constantly changing in the operating room. I couldn’t see everything, but I counted at least three assistants who performed the operation on me. I asked the translator why so many people change, to which I was told that all the doctor’s assistants are trained and can do everything. I really didn’t like that in the operating room the assistants constantly used their personal phones; I think this is unacceptable, as it is bacteria and dirt. This shouldn't happen; support after HT: during the first 10 months they responded quite quickly, but almost always the same thing - “don’t worry, everything is fine, if something goes wrong, we will fix everything under warranty.” When it became clear that the result was bad, they simply stopped responding. Now I understand that I was hasty in my choice, I did not pay attention to the bad results of Dr. Yaman on this forum, I hoped that this would not affect me. I was attracted by the fairly low price and the recommendations of this forum. I really want to do a second HT, but I haven’t chosen a doctor yet. I hope that the second time I will make the right choice and my situation can still be improved.

You are right, I am surprised that Dr. Yaman continues to be recommended on this forum. Could you tell me which doctors you mean? The doctors I like now are much more expensive than Dr. Yaman.

I completely agree with you, but unfortunately, I don’t have 9-12 thousand grafts, the maximum that I have left is 2-3 thousand. Therefore, it is very important not to make a mistake in choosing a doctor during the second session.

I think you are comparing not entirely correct photos. Here is a photo exactly a month before HT. Here my hair is about the same length as it is now and combed. Apart from the front line, nothing has changed. That is, I spent time, money, and most importantly, grafts that can never be returned and received almost nothing in return. You are right, I have a large area of baldness. But I have seen many examples on this forum with the same but much better results, sometimes even with fewer grafts. But what raises even more questions for me is not the bad result, but the behavior of the clinic in this situation - they refuse their own words and simply ignore it further. I think this says a lot about the status of Dr. Yaman's clinic. And there are a lot of people like me on this forum.

I have never taken finasteride. I really want to do a second session and have already chosen several doctors. I hope the second time the choice will be more successful.

Report for 11 months. I continue to use minxidil 5%, saw palmetto and biotin, but after 7-8 months I have not seen any significant changes for the better. Dr. Yaman looked at my photos and believes that I need a second session, which will cost $2,350. Dr. Yaman thinks that the result seems bad only because I have thin hair. This is very strange, because during the examination before the operation, Dr. Yaman said that I have very good and strong hair, which is excellent for HT. Starting from the 7th month, the clinic representative convinced me not to worry, that if the result did not improve, the doctor would fix everything. I still plan to have a second HT, but I still can’t decide on a clinic. I was ready to go a second time to Dr. Yaman, but it was important for me to hear from him the reasons for such a low survival rate of the first session, some kind of analysis, and how this could be corrected the second time. But this did not happen; the clinic representative simply stopped answering my questions, which was very unpleasant. I'm a little late with my 11 month report. Very soon it will be a year since my HT with Dr. Yaman. I plan to make a more detailed report and post more photos so that the real density is clearly visible.

You differ greatly in your estimates - 30 and 80%, I think that the truth is somewhere in the middle. I have not yet contacted other doctors; I first wanted to hear the final assessment of the result from Dr. Yaman. But, unfortunately, the doctor's representative stopped responding to my last monthly report. At 11 months I will try to contact the clinic again.

I agree with you, even though I use minoxidil, saw palmetto and biotin. I'm worried that if I stop this the results will get worse.

Thank you. The appearance has really improved. But you should evaluate ht by the amount of hair grown, and there are very few of them, especially in the middle area. Previously, I posted a photo with a ruler, there you can estimate the real density, it is no more than 50% of the transplanted grafts and is significantly lower than the clinic’s promises. This means that half of the grafts were simply thrown into the trash.

10 month report. I continue to take biotin and saw palmetto and apply minoxidil 5%. I didn't notice any more hair or any new short hair. But I began to like the overall look more. In the photo, the hair is combed forward to better show the real thickness. I usually don’t go like this, I comb my hair to the side, it looks quite acceptable. Despite the fact that the result of the first HT is not what I expected and the reasons why it did not turn out to be a good result are not clear, I am already thinking about the second HT. In my opinion, the donor area looks quite good. Dr. Yaman said that there should be approximately 2000 grafts left for the second HT. This is not enough, and I don’t know if I should try to thicken it, which didn’t work the first time, or replant it on the top of my head. In general, I began to like the look in the mirror much more than before the HT, so I don’t regret at all that I made the decision and I really hope that after the second HT it will be even better.

Thank you for your attention. I'll try to post a 10 month report this coming weekend.

Thank you for your attention. Oral finasteride and minoxidil have side effects, I don't want to take the risk. Dr. Yaman told me before the transplantation that finasteride and minoxidil are not needed, a good result will be without them. You have planted almost as many grafts as I have, but from the photo it seems that there are more, they look denser. I hope you have excellent results, the main thing is patience.

Hello. No, I haven't tried any of this. After 6 months, the doctor prescribed me minoxidil 5%, saw palmetto and biotin. Before that, I took vitamins that were given out at the clinic.
