3500 Scheduled with Dr. Cinik 12/12

[lukeyb1687]

Hey guys! The density for those area has filled in a lot! Now i have been growing out my hair, so it's possible that it may just be well covered, we won't know fully until I cut it (which I'm planning on growing for a while now lol). 

The area that I might address in the future would be the hairline, I didn't want a straight hairline to start with but think if I was to go another pass I would go a little straighter at the temple points, but for now I'm ecstatic!

Im a bit confused, because the poster said that dr. cinik was involved in his surgery with the graft extraction and placement, I have been e-mailing with Dr. Cinik where it was stated with even their most expensive DHI package, Dr. Cinik only supervises the whole surgery, and on the website it states that as well, no where in any of the cost packages does it say that he does even the incisions, it only says supervise, which was confirmed by his office through e-mails

When I enquired I was given 3 prices ,cheapest, the techs do everything Doc just draws hairline , more expensive the Doc opens the channels , and third option the  DHI implanter technique  which is the most expensive ,this is where it gets a bit confusing for this one I was told the Doc just supervises the specialised expert team, so he doesn't actually use the implanter pen just has a team who are  trained to use the DHI method , I think the second option sounds the best deal to me for a  extra 500 Euros the Doc makes the incisions.

Month 7, FUE Surgery done in Turkey with Dr Cinik. He drew the line & opened up the channels. Techs did the rest, so far so good.

[Squidward]

I have seen nothing but legit work from this Clinic, it almost seems too good to be true for this excellent of pricing. I know that he uses micro motor and forceps for implantation, but if his results are this good, it cant be much of an issue, and Mick50 I did get a clarification e-mail confirming the Dr. can do the channel opening, I guess I wasn't asking the right ?'s... but really, I've only seen great work so far, it is really tempting me to this clinic for the price and the great results

[lukeyb1687]

R5000, you hair is really coming along! Congrats! Wait till you get to month 10 it's going to be even more amazing!!

 

Squidward, that's why I wanted to share my results and experience (good or bad) to give an unbiased view on the surgery and results.  I had researched for months on Dr.Ciniks results and thought they were all great, so after talking with him and his staff I decided to go for it. The price was very affordable in comparison to other surgeons, which certainly made me wary at first. But I took a gamble, yes I read stories about butcher clinics and if I had not done enough research and due diligence I could have easily gone to the wrong clinic, but I am so happy that I chose wisely and took my time. What's the current stage of your hair loss, squid? Have you consulted with any docs?

 

 

[Squidward]

Hey lukey, I have receded temples, the rest of my hair is in good shape, its a common family trait, my pap died at 74 with my same hairline my uncles have it and so does my father, I have come to a conclusion that I would be happy with the temples filled in even if the hairline was not lowered

 Those are my pictures, that is out of the shower and wet, I have literally had the same hairline and temple recession since about 16 years of age, where it happens to all the men in my family, but stops right about there. I dont know if I ended up with something weird however, my hair is much thicker and curlier than the other men in my family, more following my grandfathers traits, which he had my hairline and curliness until he passed away, but even mine is still thicker. I tried to take these pictures wet to give the best example, because when dry, my hair is bushy and i've become so good at disguising it, you probably wouldn't guess I need a transplant. But I feel like I've been robbed of my teens and 20's of being able to style my hair how I feel, and now that I am heading into 30 and starting a profession as a teacher, I'm read to fill in those temples, from family history at best, I will MAYBE need 1 more transplant in my lifetime, that of which I am OK with. This 1st one should do me for a great many years so long as I choose a surgeon that will hopefully yield me good results. I'll be upfront and honest I have about 10k to work with and I feel as though from my many consultations I would need a minimum of 1500 and a maximum of about 22-2500 to achieve my desired results. But when it comes to pricing and I have been seeing results from this Dr, or in reality other Dr's from Turkey, I cant help but to put my cards there. I have been really doing my best to research my best options and I have looked at a lot of pre and post op results and the ones I am seeing from this forum and the others, Dr. Cinik's office is producing nothing short of outstanding results. I am awaiting their e-mail on what they guarantee because I am hoping to have my procedure booked for the next few upcoming months (hopefully january/february, which I will document here) I have narrowed my search down to a few clinics in Turkey, Keser (which I cant get his website to work, is anyone having a problem with his captcha? I cant get it to work) Erdogan (which I have been kind of weary about due to some recent results, but his density and now the use of microscopes and his overall involvement in the transplant community is in my mind wonderful) and now, Dr. Cinik, as I close in on booking I would love to hear from some patients who could suggest some world class surgeons from any country as I am willing to travel that can provide a great result for up to $5 USD (whatever that translates to in Euro)

 

But your result and many others I have seen from this clinic is strongly making me pursue Dr. Cinik's office, you you cant beat that price with this kind of result, whether it has tech's working or not, they must be pretty experienced to be producing these results. The experience seems great, I as well will be flying from USA to have my procedure, so it is quite a travel and i will be fighting my fear of flying overseas, because, I want to experience life with a nice hairline!

But besides that, congrats man, your hair looks great, anyone could be happy with those results, and if the clinic can give me those results (I am awaiting to hear their guarantee) I cant see why not to book with them as they are an incredible price with incredible results its the deal most are looking for in this business.

At the end of the day, we're all looking for an honest job for our honest money, hair is a love we should all be able to enjoy!!!

[r5000]

Thank You Sir, your results are also a great example of what Dr. Cinik can do for anyone suffering from hair loss.

Hi Luke,

Are you still on vitamins ? Do you use some special shampoos?

[Jay Ell]

@lukeyb1687 Just finding this post and I am amazed with your results! I am in Southern California as well and am doing as much research as I can regarding hair transplantation so I can plan for the future. Ive had consultations with HT Doctors here in the U.S.A and although these Doctors are very skilled, the cost was absolutely crazy! Much like you were, I am also very budget concious. At this point, unless I win the lottery, I am keeping an open mind about traveling abroad for the surgery. 

Being 10+ months post op, is there anything you regret about the surgery or is there anything you would change if you could go back in time?

BigBen, I think jj is referring to this.

Luke, just to clarify, when did you take these two photos? How many months after the HT? Thanks in advance. Your thread is very good and as I have said before, your new hairline is awesome and even the photos are very professional.

[Squidward]

I was told by this clinic that my technicians that would be working on me have 8 years working experience I think that could be why I keep seeing such good results coming out of this clinic, even if it does have techs working

Looking great! month 9 & 10 are big months....?

Hi Alex,

 

I am the worst at remembering to take my vitamins! I have not taken anything for probably the last 2 months or so. Shampoo is Lush Sea salt and conditioner is Doterra Essential Oil.

Hey @Jay Ell,

 

Yeah the US has very high pricing in comparison. One of the reasons I chose to go abroad was because of that, but I also felt the quality of results seemed to be higher too. 

 

The only thing I wish I changed, and it's not major, would be to close the hairline a little straighter, but that was my decision at the time. But it's not something that really bothers me that much, I'm just striving for perfection now haha.

Did you book your transplant? 

I think no matter whose hands your in you'll come out amazing. At the end of the day it's the Docs name on the line if anything went wrong, that's probably why he employs the team he does, because he can trust them. Did they also tell you that Dr. Cinik guarantee the grafts for 10 years if they don't take?

Dont forget that most clinics have techs working in them at some capacity. Even Asmed have techs doing extractions but the Doc will open the channels.

Guys I have my HT with Dr C in like 2 months. My scalp right now is really dry. Do You think it’ll be a problem when it comes to the procedure? Any advice on what to try I’m thinking coconut oil might help.

Congrats on booking! I'm not sure how a dry scalp will affect the procedure, I'd say reach out to Dr. Cinik and see. Is it just dry flakes/dandruff or psoriasis? 

Coconut oil can't hurt but also make sure you're drinking a ton of water, especially alkaline, and restricting any sugars/caffeine to help your body hydrate.

Thanks Luke! Yeah it’s flaky at the moment. I’m gonna try everything to get it in better condition for the procedure. Good advice though thsnks, I’ll speak to Dr C. 

[garethbale]

Congrats Luke

Your result looks epIc mate!

I'm hoping I will be able to style my hair like yours after any potential surgery.  You were more receding than me prior to your HT but your hair looks much better now than mine!

[Donjamo]

Luke, your results look amazing and so comforting to read as I am heading out to Turkey to have my procedure done with Dr Cinik on Tuesday 6th Nov! 

Got to be honest the nervous are starting to kick in and I wish I could fast forward the next 12 months, but hey no pain no gain as they say! ?

Hey @Donjamo Congratulations on your booking! You'll be in great hands, try and get some sleep the night before - I was unable to lol too excited/nervous! What does your hairloss look like at the moment? Glad I could be of assistance

Yeah the first few months certainly are rough, your brain tricks you into thinking that everything looks ok...then when you look back after a few months you realize that it looks horrible for a while haha! But it's certainly worth it, especially the 10 month mark! Have fun and happy growing, if there's anything I can help answer please reach out, likely it may be covered in my thread already but there's a lot of info lol! 

[lukeyb1687]

Here's a side by side comparison from Dr. Cinik's Instagram page. Pre-op and 10 month post op. I'm still in awe at how much hairloss I suffered with in the frontal third, I almost forget how much I had lost!
