[ykiska]

Dear Forum’s folk

 

Operation date 2/8/2015 3 Months updated

 

I want to share my experience with Hakan DOGANAY but before that I would also want to share that how I chose Dr. DOGANAY. I had been suffering losing my hair since I was 20 years old Now I am 32 years old I was aware that one day my hair will be Norwood 4 or 5 due to genetic hair loss coming from my family therefore I was waiting right time to have Hair Transplantation in the main time technology improving very fast . I did lots of research online I sent e-mails all doctors in the world to see what their thought about my hair condition. Some of them were so expensive ( Dr. Lorenzo, Feller, Armani) some of them were replying very late and unprofessional ( Dr. Bihati, Koray, Bisanga) I chose Dr. Doganay because my was responding very quick and professional also I have seen a lots off good result from him I asked so many question they didn’t even fed up to answers all my questions anyway I had consultation with Dr. DOGANAY I met him in his clinic located in Lara Anadolu Hospital He seems like very polite and nice guy He checked my condition I was told I have enough donor to cover all my head but I was also informed by him that I have native hairs can be fall off in future therefore he made a plan for me.. The plan was covering my frontal area with reasonable hair line and medication required after Hair Transplant ( Finasteride) According to my age I did not ask him to lower my hair line and he was so happy about that because I can save more grafts for future hair loss…. He told me that I would need 3000 grafts for frontal part which are going to perform in two days but I asked him to do it in one day because I didn’t want to have pain in two days. He recommend to extract 1500 grafts and then implanted after that nurse will extract another 1500 grafts to implanted in same day. I was okay so in the end I was happy to go ahead with his recommendation. He draw my hair line and I liked it because I asked him to draw aggressive hair line After that I was taken by the nurse to take photos before the operation after photos they shaved my hair photo again than I went to operation room Operation performed under local anesthesia I did not knocked out I was awake all the time. The head nurse came she introduce herself she started to performed extraction he was very kind and I didn’t felt too much pain maybe first a few injection heart the rest I didn’t feel rest needles. Extraction took around 2 hours then I was given break by the doctor like 20 minutes I had launch after break I taken to the Operation room again Dr. Doganay came and he did local anesthesia on my forehead this was painful he start to perform implantation there were roughly 5 nurse in the room plus doctor. He was implanting by himself but after 30 to 45 minutes his assistance involved the operation I could see there were 2 nurses sitting in front of each bench they were reload the pens…. Implantation took I think around 1 and half hours doctor told me I need to take 2 hours break after 2 hours same oration had been performed… Finally all done I got my room and rest all night. Next day I taken from my room to do first wash nurse came and took of my bandage she apply lotion on my transplanted area and then wait 20 minutes while I am waiting lotion on I informed about washing instruction all was clear and understandable then I lotion washed out with special baby shampoo. In the end doctor came and prescribed medication that I have to use for stop future hair loss.

 

I would like to thanks Dr DOGANAY and all AHD Clinic staff they were so nice and professional

Yes, you are very welcome to share your story, but you must understand that many concerns have arisen concerning Dr Hakan Doganay, so people are more suspicious this time. Trust is easy to lose and very hard to regain.

 

There were basically no thread of happy Doganay patients just results posted by the clinic. Until recently, when happy expatients started to pop up to defend the clinic. If you truly feel you owe the clinic and want to defend them, the best you can do is prove unquestionably that you are in no ways affiliated with the clinic.

I understood your concern about Doganay's patients probably you hate them and your action all about to give damage to the clinic you are not looking for help to feel better If someone not agree with you you are the one attack with useless question specifically accusation people here and whatever you mentioned in your thread you are the one who needs to prove unquestionably.

 

Please don't mess my thread here If you really want to speak with me you can send your current phone number via PM.

Thank you for proving my point.

"According to my age I did not ask him to lower my hair line and he was so happy about that because I can save more grafts for future hair loss…. He draw my hair line and I liked it because I asked him to draw aggressive hair line"

 

I'm a little confused. Anyways, hope you have a great outcome!

[chris39]

ykiska ,

 

You contradict yourself . In your OP you describe Dogonay being involved in part of the procedure , and now you say he had no involvement . Which is it ?

 

Also , are you going to post your 10 month photo's ?

[chris39]

and now the post has disappeared ?

I have read a lot of bad things about Dr Dogonay here in the past two years. I went to Turkey in October 2014 and had 3060 grafts transplanted by him. I was very happy back then and even wrote a good review about my operation. I chose him solely based on the reviews I had read on this forum.

With me most of the work was done by the technicians. They seemed confident and polite and answered all my questions mid surgery. Dr Dogonay was dashing in and out of the room, and always smelled like he had just put out a cigarette. Now that I think, I'm sure he was operating on more than one patient at the same time.

I contacted them twice recently through their website but received no answers but they replied to my email and asked for photos.

I am not going back to him for my second hair transplant, but have to admit I am more happy with the result than not. The hairline is not exactly even and I my face was badly bruised for a week after operation but the donor area healed very quickly and staff were super nice.

I think Dr Dogonay fell victim to his own greed and put his financial interests before patients' health which is a shame. I was really looking forward to going back to him for the second operation.

So what? Koray Erdogan is better than Doganay?

Hell yes! Doganay got suspended from this sites recommended list because of poor quality results as late. Then his own patient advisor turned on him.

[ykiska]

I didn't expect this result

[thepasserby]

ykiska give it another 8-9 months I'm sure it will look much better

[lerses]

No it won't. He had surgery 12 months ago. Sorry to say, but he's completely fucked now.
