MaximeL Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 (edited) Hello, I have 2 options for FUE surgery, beginning of November with Dr Erkan Demirsoy in Istanbul (3500-4000 grafts), or Dr Khaled Meddeb in Tunis end of February (2500-3000 grafts). Price and travel is not a problem. I have a slight preference for Dr Meddeb but it's kind of annoying to wait for 6 months, plus that means my hair will be all ugly starting in spring and, I am afraid, for all summer. Would 3 and half more months make a difference? What do you guys think? Thanks in advance! Edited August 21, 2019 by MaximeL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn’t let the waitlist be a deciding factor for lifelong results.... what are your reasons to narrowing down to these two docs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaximeL Posted August 21, 2019 Author Share Posted August 21, 2019 Dr Meddeb is in Tunisia this is maybe why people don't talk much about him in this forum. He has a good reputation in Europe apparently. Why those 2, because I wanted doctors/clinics that take only 1 patient a day, where the doctor does everything or almost everything himself. Dr Pekiner was another option but he never replied... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LonelyGraft Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 What about keser? What most doctors in US who are required to do most of the work? How about hlc where only doctors do all the work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member harry_potter1 Posted August 22, 2019 Senior Member Share Posted August 22, 2019 Heard about Dr.Khaled before, but didn't see much of his work tbh Demirsoy seems well respected here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crumpet Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 Well it's the first time I've heard of Dr. Meddeb and from just glancing at his website it seems he only has one before and after result posted on there. This doesn't mean he is good or bad but it's not very promising. I wouldn't want to persuade you one way or the other but I would encourage thorough research when considering any doctor. Dr Demirsoy at least has plenty more posts on this forum and others giving examples of his work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaximeL Posted August 23, 2019 Author Share Posted August 23, 2019 (edited) @jj51702 Keser has a crappy buggy website with almost no info, nothing about the cost, etc. HLC is very expensive for a clinic in Turkey. I guess I was not clear when I said the price was not a problem, I meant those 2 doctors I am talking about are in the same range, below 7-8k. @Crumpet There are many positive reviews with photos about Dr Meddeb in that other French forum international-hairlossforum. More info about him (in English) https://hairmedclinics.com/hair-transplant-clinics/tunis-dr-khaled-meddeb/ Also he is the only one asking for a blood test with many things to check, 1 week before surgery. I feel like if he was an amateur he wouldn't care about such things. He also does PRP after surgery (optional), which Dr Demirsoy doesn't perform. But again Demirsoy seems very good too (this is why I am posting in this forum, because I am indecisive ;-)) Edited August 23, 2019 by MaximeL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member Anthonyd Posted August 23, 2019 Regular Member Share Posted August 23, 2019 I’m booked in with Dr Demirsoy on the 4th sept, I made this decision after trawling all the forums to read through patients experiences and to check the final results. Here’s a couple of photos off his website that convinced me of his quality. I’m a bit surprised by Dr Demirsoy quoting a thousand more grafts than Meddeb. He doesn’t normally overuse grafts, so that would concern me a little with Dr Meddeb evaluation. But without seeing photos we can’t really give an opinion, but worth you thinking about! Anyway best of luck whoever you choose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member Anthonyd Posted August 23, 2019 Regular Member Share Posted August 23, 2019 Ok, that makes sense, you stated Dr Clinic in your post😉 I think the op has done his research and narrowed it down to these two Docs. Yes there are lots of clinics in Turkey, but not that many that have only one patient a day, and that does the extractions/incisions within his budget. So let’s assume the op has done his due diligence, and give our opinions on who he has asked us to. Otherwise everybody will be chipping in with Different Clinic suggestions, and the op Will be none the wiser in his decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
