Regular Member happyandsad Posted October 16, 2019 Regular Member Share Posted October 16, 2019 I know some people feel a certain way about low-cost clinics, but this one in Istanbul seems pretty legit. My barber knows people who went to Istanbul for inexpensive transplants and they had great results. They told me I will need about 3,000 grafts and offered me a package that includes hotel stay for 1735 euros/$1916 USD. The patient coordinator has been great in his email communication with me, answering all questions in a timely manner. I've read mainly positive reviews, and I've seen some people on YouTube who went there as well. After I emailed them my required photos, this was their response: Quote Hi Antony, Thank you for the pictures. I showed them to the doctors and he informed me that the density on your donor area is in average condition. You have recesssion on temples and small gaps on midscalp and the crown. We estimate we can extract around 3000 follicles from your donor area. For estimated graft number we will create a new hairline and fill with high density follicular units and from mid scalp to crown area according to remaining grafts we try to increase overall density. Best regards, The doctors are Dr. Mehmet Erdogan and Gokay Bilgin. I was wondering if anyone has any knowledge of this clinic or doctors, that maybe I didn't come across in my research. I'll post their website, instagram and some YouTube videos as well below. Any input would be appreciated, as I'd like to go sometime in January!

Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted October 16, 2019 Administrators Share Posted October 16, 2019 Haven't heard anything about them, not every low-cost clinic is bad, but there are a lot of black market FUE clinics that are popping up especially in Turkey. If your main concern is cost, my advice to you, save money and start researching once you have enough funds. Never let money be your deciding factor. I’m a paid admin for Hair Transplant Network.

Regardless of where a doctor is based I would suggest researching based on a doctor name and looking at results online such as on here. I recently tested the water by sending off for an online quote with a firm in Turkey to see what the advised. I told them I have had 4,600 grafts by FUE already. They did not ask for my age, family hairloss, whether I was on meds or anything like that. They did not ask what my goals were and simply said they could provide me with 3,000 FUE and it would need to be booked by the 30 September for £1,500. I asked who the doctor would be and they said I would be allocated a doctor on the day. This type of surgery in Turkey IMO should be avoided. Wow that is shocking. This is the type of thing I want anyone who visits this community to AVOID AT ALL COSTS. By chance do you still have the quote? It would be awesome if you could post it on here so everyone can see.
