Regular Member Sk78 Posted November 14, 2017 Regular Member Share Posted November 14, 2017 Hi Friends I want to share my experience ..and give back to this forum and members of this forum who posted there experience as well and helped me with choosing ASMED ..so its my turn now to help others still on the fence waiting wondering I am from UK, London, I have been contemplating for an hair transplant for last 5, 6 years and finalised the below Clinic \ Doctors. DHI (UK) Dr. Koray Erdogan (ASMED) Dr. Hakan Doganay Dr. Erkan Demirsoy Finally decided with Dr. Koray Erdogan because no one could match his results, Also security was a concern but after reaching Istanbul security is no more a concern. I went on a 6 days Holiday to turkey and combined the Operation (Oct 20th to Oct25th), I stayed Oct 20th / Friday Met with the Coordinator Sevinc, She was great person and very helpful and not to my expectation, ASMED clinic was very Clean, Very modern, it was like a hotel, in fact there was a person Playing piano in the lounge. Met with the Doctor , my donor area total was estimated at 9000 graft and he suggested 5000 graft and I requested 5500 to cover my crown completely, he agreed, then Payment was done. Head was shaved and we agreed on the hairline. Oct 21th and 22nd (sat and Sunday) , I stayed at the Europe side and did sightseeing. 23rd Monday Operation - Only the Anaesthesia injections were painful, other than that the Operation was just fine. Had trouble sleeping that night as I was asked to sleep on the Neck Pillow. 24rd Tuesday Operation - Again, Only the Anaesthesia injections was painful, other than that the Operation was just fine. again sleeping was the only Problem. 25rd Wednesday - Went to the Hospital and Performed the First wash. I started writing this Blog after 20 Days of the Operation, Hair has started to Fall and its very rapid. Will Keep Updating my progress and pictures, Hope it benefits Thanks to members like Justjax for giving me the confidence. Thanks Kumar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Mickah17 Posted November 14, 2017 Regular Member Share Posted November 14, 2017 Niiice. Can I ask what you paid? I sent off email for online consultation today. I know he's the best and also the most expensive . Cheers Mick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Sk78 Posted November 15, 2017 Author Regular Member Share Posted November 15, 2017 Hi Mick Tks, Koray Erdogan charged me 2.5 (2.5*5500 graft) Euros per graft, I know its lot. I took close to 2 years for me to finalise Dr. Koray because of the cost. Other best doctors in turkey are charging 1 to 1.5 per graft and it through mini motor, I have compared more than 100 results, Mini motor does not provide a decent output. These doctors for Manual puch are charging around 2 Euro / Graft, So decided to go with ASMED. Hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member vchorro Posted December 7, 2017 Regular Member Share Posted December 7, 2017 Hello Sk78! I see your surgery at ASMED was very similar to mine: almost identical number of implanted grafts and even my timing was very close to your transplant (my HT was only a week later!). I hope you are doing well, mate! 5476 grafts FUE / ASMED - Koray Erdogan / 22 & 23 November http://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/eve/188449-5476-grafts-fue-asmed-koray-erdogan-22-23-november.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member Sk78 Posted January 11, 2018 Author Regular Member Share Posted January 11, 2018 Hi Thanks guys...! Sorry was slightly buys, Its been 10 week and few days now. There was no hair growth till now. I could suddenly see hair sproutingout. Hair growth in last week is the only hair growth I have seen.

JustJax Thanks , yes I am in the ugly duckling phase . Hopefully in next 2 months , I should be ok...

Senior Member hsrp10 Posted January 11, 2018 Senior Member Share Posted January 11, 2018 Congrats on your procedure with an outstanding surgeon. Been seeing a lot of failed or subpar cases on here recently, good to see success stories from those who take the time to fully research carefully. Love the dense graft placement, should make for a very dense result. http://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/eve/attachment.php?attachmentid=114221&d=1510673055 go dense or go home Unbiased advice and opinions based on 25 plus years of researching and actual experience with hair loss, hair restoration via both FUT & FUE, SMP, scalp issues including scalp eczema & seborrheic dermatitis and many others HSRP10's favorite FUT surgeons: *Dr. Konior, *Dr Hasson, Dr. Rahal HSRP10's favorite FUE surgeons: *Dr. Konior, *Dr. Bisanga, Dr. Erdogan, Dr. Couto (*indicates actual experience with doctor) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member BaldingtimetoLdar Posted March 7, 2018 Senior Member Share Posted March 7, 2018 Looks like its going to be an amazing result. However i do believe the compliments are probably because of your new haircut as well as your transplant. The haircut you had before the procedure magnified your hairloss even further due to the contrast of long hair and thinning hair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member lukeyb1687 Posted March 8, 2018 Senior Member Share Posted March 8, 2018 Looking great! You must be an early grower! 3 months looked great but 4 months looks closer to 5 months!

Regular Member Sk78 Posted March 8, 2018 Author Regular Member Share Posted March 8, 2018 (edited) 1) @Justin - Thanks, Yes 3 months to 4 Month, a huge improvement. I am using Propecia and Lazer Helmet. I actually want to stop propecia, when should I. R u still continuing it. Also I have been tracking few people on this forum, to be honest, on comparison scale my 4 month was equal to ur 3rd month. I found my results are closer to Ersko72 (on month on month basis) http://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/eve/181978-dr-koray-erdogan-asmed-clinic-%96-3400-grafts-%96-fue-dec-2015-a.html 2) @utxeee - Thanks for the kind words of encouragement. 3) @Baldingtimetoldar - Thanks, you are very true, hair cut makes a difference. I met my old Mates after a year, they can not recognise that I had a transplant. After me saying to them they where like "Oo Yaaa" 4) @lukeyb1687 - Thanks Mate for the kind words.

Regular Member Sk78 Posted October 16, 2018 Author Regular Member Share Posted October 16, 2018 (edited) Hi Guys Very sorry guys, was super busy with travel, anyways The HT Result is amazing after 11 months, 1000% satisfied with ASMED. My look has completely changed, I have lost weight 20kg as well. Friends and Families are complementing that I have reduced 5 years of my age. Only draw back is I am not entirely happy with my crown, but no one notices it. I have stopped finastride after 6 months as I was having side effects. Overall really happy with this journey Edited October 16, 2018 by Sk78 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
