Kiwiaustria Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Hi Guys. Im a Kiwi living in New Zealand and Im thinking about going to Turkey for a hair transplant later in the year. I'm a norwood 5 and Im 50 years old. Ive been doing my research on this form and other for the past few months and I think Ive settled on a couple of Doctors and clinics who I think will be what I am after and I wanted to see what experiences anyone on the forums has had with them good or bad. Both doctors seem like they are hands on. The two clinics and doctors I'm considering are: AEK hair clinic with Dr Ali Karadeniz who is offering 5000 Hairs for €2300 for FUE inc hotels, airport transfers or Armamed Dr.Erkan Demirsoy who is quoting €1.25 per graft and they are estimating 3500-4000 grafts to the front and crown area. Does anyone have any opinions on either of them. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Payam Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 As a 50 year old Norwood 5 the only realistic option should be a FUT with a good US or European doctor in my opinion, is there a specific reason why you are looking at turkish FUE doctors? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwiaustria Posted August 13, 2018 Author Share Posted August 13, 2018 thanks for the reply. cost is a factor. US and european doctors are around 4 times the cost as are the doctors over this side of the world. Both doctors who I emailed seemed t think I had a good supply of donor hair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted August 14, 2018 Administrators Share Posted August 14, 2018 We recommend Dr. Erdogan and Dr. Yaman, both have a long track record of producing top notch results.

Senior Member True Posted August 14, 2018 Senior Member Share Posted August 14, 2018 Have you considered the zero risk, 100% coverage of a temporary SMP procedure? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see you continually suggest SMP, this only works for individuals who want to shave their head, SMP is not 3d and therefore will not look natural unless the rest of the scalp is shaved with a razor.

Kiwiaustria Posted August 14, 2018 Author Share Posted August 14, 2018 thanks for the feedback. Dr. Erdogan and Dr. Yaman are both highly regarded but their costs are outside my budget range which is why I was considering Dr Ali Karadeniz or Dr.Erkan Demirsoy . They both seem to have good reviews and are in my budget. Anyone have any thoughts on these two doctors? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The majority of guys want hair transplants to avoid shaving their heads I think SMP can be a great adjunct to a transplant. I also think it's a great option that high Norwoods may want to consider. At the very least, it's the safest procedure at an affordable price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwiaustria Posted August 16, 2018 Author Share Posted August 16, 2018 I am also trying to decide between FUT and FUE. any thoughts on either? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Harbal Posted August 16, 2018 Regular Member Share Posted August 16, 2018 (edited) I went to Esteworld for FUE. Price is around 2300 Euro's but probably dropping thanks to the pissing-contest between Donald J. & Erdogan. Very pleased with the results. They are quite big and well known in Europe but not so much on this forum. Good luck! Edited August 16, 2018 by Harbal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwiaustria Posted August 16, 2018 Author Share Posted August 16, 2018 Thanks Harbal. and thanks Payam. Hadnt considered FUT before but doing more research on it after your post Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
