@Dr. Ahmed Altan

Do you have more photos after 18 months from the top? 

Do you plan to do second surgery? 

Yes, I will share photos after 1st operation under this post and we already did his second session on late December '23 after some growth I will collect them and share here too.

Nice work, very dense for 4200 grafts and such a big surface area! What was the size of recipient area and what sort of density was this implanted at?

Thank you for your quote Ccd99,

It was in total 103 cm2 and avarage makes around 40-42 FUs/cm2 and frontal 40 cm2 has better density like 50-55 and mid-crown 63 cm2 has lower density. 
 

A small note here: You can not guess surgeons hand moves here(please check previous photo), so they are homogenized one by one. Not to cause any irregular empty parts also not to cause a ploughed view/result.

Thanks for reading.

Stellar result, very impressive @Dr. Ahmed Altan

I have some questions:

• 0.7mm is a small punch, the donor site must be looking good with respect to scars?
• Is the patient on any medication?
• Could you share some photos at day 0 after the extraction and implantation?

Thank you Ccd99,

• Yes, he almost has no scars on skin. We can use it only if diameter of hair shaft is allowing us.
• He started using Minoxidil also medicated with crushed Finasteride inside on 4th month but somehow he decided to stop after 3 months of use.
• i will add photo of implanted part but donor area is not nice to share here as it was not clean for this patient.

Actually my information was based on this post from 2019, where user claimed that there was deeper cooperation with Aisha : Aisha Hair Turcja Stambuł. - Leczenie chirurgiczne - Pokonaj Lysienie

Translation of this post is : " After all, Aisha and Aestepool are the same, I know what I'm saying because I did through Aestepool but the team from Aisha was also present for the procedure. When I asked Dr. Altan about Aisha he said that it was one team and the prices were the same. In fact I recognize the faces from the photos on the website."

 

However as i understand, Aestepool team now moved to Goodlook Clinic. Can you clarify what is your cooperation with Goodlook Clinic? Do you use their staff, nurses etc, or you just rent the room and equipment? Do you plan to move Aestepool to your own place in the future? 

 

Could you tell more details of your surgeries, because i didn't find such informations( i only found info that you plan surgery and do the slits). For example do you use microscopic dissection, do you use single hair for the hairline, what is your role as a lead doctor in operation, how many surgeries you are performing maximum per day, do you as a surgeon work for other clinics etc. Here is example of such presentation : Dr. Christian Bisanga | Hair Transplant Network

 

And there is one thing on you website that is not logical for me. You state, that your FUE tranplantiation provides more grafts then FUT. However i didn't see in your work megasessions like this : FUT Gigasession - Hair Transplant With 8143 Grafts - YouTube. I don't see mathematically how can FUE harvest more then FUT. 

 

That's a lot of questions, but i think that community would appreciate your answer, thank you. 

 

 

Hello again ,

Thanks for your messages and I appreciate that because I hope all patients do their research like that before they go to a surgeon for their hair restoration.

I will write an about part on my profile but before I will talk briefly about myself and the clinic.

I started my first surgical hair restorations from 10 years ago now and I am performing them with FUE , I am calling it MicroFUE also because I use 0.7mm and according to hair caliber 0.8 mm sometimes.

I perform only 1 maximum 2 operations per day and it was like that from the beginning.

I make meeting and examination of all patients in the morning also draw hairline right after examination of the area and hairs.

I am performing opening the channels part by myself sometimes I also perform harvesting but that’s rare because it is impossible to do all that work by myself , I have professional team and everybody has their own role but I never draw the hairline and leave I am present in operating theatre during operation and everything is under my control from harvesting to implanting, his/her general health etc.

We always implant the thin single grafts for frontal hairline , opposite is not a subject I guess.

I know that you are talking about that post and I told you I don’t know who he is can be a misunderstanding and we never worked like that before. As I mentioned above post he is assuming that we were working together. If that’s real I am really honest and transparent person I could have say that as it is not a shame.

We are working in Goodlok now. That’s true but again I have my own team, equipments for years and we do not use any clinics nurses or team. We use just the facility to perform our job. Like all doctors do in all around the world. You use the facility (hospital, clinic) and maybe this is for a salary or you do your own practice there. The important thing people might not understand is in here things are little bit different. In brief opening a clinic is outrageous expensive here. And doctors like me doing max. 2 operations per day ,is impossible to collect that money in such time. Either I need to have savings or need to perform 20-30 operations per day and become a hairmill.

By the way I tried Sapphire and it is not good for many reasons, i will make a video about it soon or I do not use DHI (maybe just for woman sometimes) it is my bad you can see it in my website this is because of the SEO company forced me to put those subjects and I already cancel my agreement and will delete them soon just now I have no time to write the articles.

I am still standing behind my word FUE provides more grafts. I watched that video and so nice work done, lets say patient has 90 FUs/cm2 so 8143/90FUs=90,47 cm2 and they need to cut and area of 90 cm2 which is really rare and not possible from patient who has tight skin on occipital part.

I always worked for separate my clinic from standard clinics actually they are companies not clinics!

I am following the science and trying to be honest with my patients and learning and improving myself everyday. Grateful for all other doctors who is doing this job decent and with a passion. Following them to find perfection on my operations…

Thank you for your time reading,

Best regards,

Dr. Altan

Hello everybody ,

I read the comments and I think  I need to reply on it.

First of all thank you for all your comments, research  and I just need to clarify a misunderstanding that Aestepool and Aisha have same/mutual teams.

We have worked with them in same hospital in the past so thats true we have used the same operation theaters. But it is just limited with operation theaters. I can not be operating for another clinic nor they can not be making my operations as I have my own stable team. Aestepool Clinic is my own company with my personal staff.

About the subject came up from Polish forum is that because we were in same hospital I guess a patient saw us talking or saw them and me in same hospital and thought that we are the same and/or using same teams.

Lastly that’s also not correct we have only Polish website and using other name for international patients. Removed is our international website you can also find other Aestepool websites designed for other countries to give them better experience.

I am open to any other question marks.

Appreciate your time for reading,

Best Regards ,

Dr. Altan
