Regular Member novakia7 Posted July 27, 2018 Regular Member Share Posted July 27, 2018 I am 36 and have been researching hair transplants for the past 3 - 4 years. I have been losing hair for the past 10 years and on minoxidil for 4 years. Finally got enough courage to pursue the hair transplant this year and started doing more intense research on doctors. Over and over I came across the incredible results and stellar reputation of Dr. Erdogan at Asmed, so I decided to contact them and get a consultation online. From the first contact, I could tell that this was a highly professional, organized, and top-notch clinic. I also contacted other clinics to compare, but none were as impressive as Asmed. I booked my date and was assigned to work with Esen as my patient coordinator. She has been a pleasure to work with throughout these past few months and made my entire experience a great one. Dr. Erdogan recommended that I start using finasteride, so I got a prescription for it and have been on it for 3 months now. I wired Asmed my deposit and booked flights. Was nervous to take the balance of over 10,000 euro via cash, but having read so many stories on here it reassured me that all Asmed patients must travel with cash. In addition, it was nice that they were flexible in allowing me to pay with USD instead of exchanging to Euro. I'm not going to go into extreme detail about the procedure and the clinic because I will echo what everyone on here says about Asmed...it is a top notch clinic and they make you feel so welcome and important. Every single person I met there was extremely courteous, kind, and helpful. They all go out of their way to help you and make you feel that you are a VIP. I cannot stress how important it is to have a clinic like this when you travel so far away to an unfamiliar place with a foreign language. They put me at ease and helped me to feel confident in the choice I made and in the procedure and process for everything. There were so many people I interacted with during my time there, but I want to especially thank Esen, Suzana, Dr. Umut, Dr. Erdogan, and the main technician doing the extractions and graft placements (unfortunately I forgot her name). Esen or Suzana were always present during the two days of operation so that if I had any questions or concerns they were there to translate. They also both went out of their way to explain everything that was going to happen so that I was comfortable. All in all, I cannot recommend Asmed enough. This is one of those businesses that you feel happy you came to know about and don't mind handing your money over to. It is a highly professional operation that runs seamlessly. And now for the stats: Grafts: 5120 Ratio: 2.18 hair/graft 912 singles 2602 doubles 1284 triples 218 quads 3 quints 1 sextuple Total donor: 9800 Hair density: 68 microns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member novakia7 Posted July 27, 2018 Author Regular Member Share Posted July 27, 2018 All the work looks really clean to me! I'm surprised at how good the donor area looks only one day out from the surgery. Does crown section look like there is a gap between the implanted hairs and the bald region? I usually wear my hair cut very short, so I hope that will not be a noticeable gap when all grows in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member BigBen Posted July 27, 2018 Senior Member Share Posted July 27, 2018 I had a few top doctors drawing a hairline on my photos and the one I liked the most was Koray's. Because of that and all the positive results they had achieved, I also chose Asmed. I will post my case too. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member HG1 Posted July 27, 2018 Senior Member Share Posted July 27, 2018 Great choice of clinic. You will look amazing I'm sure. The new hairline and temple points will frame your face nicely. I wish you the very best of luck over the next year. 5024 grafts with Asmed Clinic.

Regular Member novakia7 Posted July 28, 2018 Author Regular Member Share Posted July 28, 2018 Post op day 3 and the ring between the transplanted hair and pre-op hair line in crown is becoming more pronounced as donor hair is growing. Is this gap normal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member newpatient99 Posted July 28, 2018 Senior Member Share Posted July 28, 2018 One of the cleanest post ops I've seen. Take care of those grafts and you're going to be a very happy guy in a year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
