Excellent work! Not only is the case great, but the presentation/photographic series is greatly improved! Keep it up. Sharing cases in this manner really helps showcase your fantastic results!

[Loags79]

Well done Erdogan. I've criticised Erdogan before (as many others have as well) regarding inconsistent photo documentation but this is top notch photo standard to match the usually high clinical standards. Hope to see more of this in the future.

Nice work ! i agree that the photos have improved 100%

[KO]

This is good, a diffuse thinner too.

[BUSA]

talk about tight grafts placement with no shock loss. impressive.

[PupDaddy]

This is a VERY nice result from Dr. E! Patient should be very happy indeed.

[Danyb]

Another great result, excellent hairline design. Pictures are well done.

looks like turkey is leading fue. i think manual extraction under careful placement preserves yield and graft health. his method isnt one based on quick and easy money but rather hard work and labor which you can see īn great results. looks like the automatic fue process of extraction is no where near the consistency of manual extraction right now. back in August 2010, I had Erdogan on my radar due to other forums. I had asked Bill about him but he said he was not familiar with dr. Erdogan at the time, i then looked at other options Bill mentioned.

 

looking at places that were four times cheaper producing results like this, really affects a person like me who had limited funds. dr. erdogans clinic is one of those decent priced clinics. these places are now recommended on this forum.

 

as a result, i had two surgeries with another recommended doc and not sure how this one will turn out. first surgery, most mentioned i had at least half grafts lost due to low yield. i paid for that surgery. second surgery, i had around 1400 placed in what seems the same region and not sure if all previous placement concerns were addressed. i paid for my own travel for this repair too. my donor looks disgusting with shockloss right now. my yield looks terrible at the moment.

 

but regardless, this is a great result with a happy patient. dr. erdogan did an outstanding job. the quality of work is something envious and it obviously is a wake up call to not get drawn into what representatives say. ,do not believe the hype. do not believe anyone in this industry. look at clear cut photos and talk to Real patients that have posted documentation from the clinic you are interested īn. talk to patients that have no secondary interest or reasons to help clinics.

 

Good job Dr. Erdogan. keep up the good work and post more clear cut results like this.

Sean, I totally agree with you. I had recently been operated by Dr. Erdogan and had time to chat with him after surgery.

 

I myself learned the hard way in order to get to the point I am now. 3 strip surgeries (one with Dr. Feller) and the latest, the FUE procedure with Dr. Erdogan. After educating myself, I had one last shot. I saw several doctors recommended here, but I have to say (until now) I feel like I made the right choice.

 

He is a very honest and ethical doctor, extremely experienced and specialized and it doesn't seem to me he is defending his point of view because of an agenda, based on his practice only. He truly believes FUE causes less trauma to patients and that manual is extremely superior, making possible for the tech to extract following the direction of the follicle and causing much less scaring as the punch is smaller (0.7mm). He explained that to me in detail that the scarring area is expanded (doubled) when using motorized extraction.

 

He even explained that many people criticize him for not doing the extractions and implantation of the grafts. He does the incisions himself. Delek (his partner) and specialist can extract 21 grafts per minute. She has been doing this everyday, for the past 15 years. A good doctor is like a maestro and can manage a great team of techs.

 

Point is, if the result is good, this really is irrelevant. I rather have and amazing job done this way by his clinic, that have surgery with another doc doing the extractions and placing grafts, but not having a satisfactory result.

 

Indeed many interests behind the scenes, and only we can stand up for ourselves. This is an excellent website, but only we can live with our decisions and should know what's best for ourselves.

 

I was also in doubt before choosing him instead of Lorenzo, as I had preconceived ideas about having surgery in Istanbul. I had no idea how professional he was and he gave me hope. So let's hope for the best now as the result seen above. And I wish you the best of luck.

 

PS: I saw many patients coming out of surgery and results where always consistently clean and impressive.

Another great feedback and very valuable information for me as it confirms that I have made the right decision.

 

I personally have been reading threads on this website behind the scenes and I must say in 1 year 2 doctors caught my eye... at first I was very adamant in my mind Dr Hakan was the DR because I got the impression at first that his motorised punch was meant to cause less scaring and shock loss. But from what I have discovered recently thanks to this forum is that was not the case. Even if someone believes otherwise this is what I believe in.

 

It may seem expensive compared to other Turkish practices out there however depending on how you look at it to me its worth it for a good quality service with a peace of mind.

 

I am originally from Turkey but have lived in UK all my life. I am already process in booking a meeting with Dr Koray so I can get a first hand information and good thing I can speak Turkish as well which helps lol.

 

This forum is the best out there a mile and thank you for everyone involved including DR's/Admins/Mods/and members.
