Senior Member EvansLawrence Posted May 23, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted May 23, 2021 Hey man. You got me worried. How is it going now?? I really hope that u are just a slow grower who also suffers shock loss for surgery and stoping minox but that u are able to hit it at 12 months. Maybe switching to oral minox could help..!

I suppose he doesn't reply because he signed an agreement with the clinic or he doesn't want to ruin their image. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Athensr Posted June 9, 2021 Regular Member Share Posted June 9, 2021 (edited) So, I am two days into my surgery (which was supposed to be completed today but is continuing into tomorrow) and will create an upcoming HT report (no discounts given or sought for my report, the office does not know I will be reviewing them; I will include a list of negatives that I think people should know about when considering Dr. Pekiner's office). While this is my first HT and I don't have much of a point of reference, I must say that I think Dr. Pekiner is a very honest and talented doctor. I am fairly skeptical about most people, but judging from his efforts so far, Dr. Pekiner is one of the most hardworking doctors I have ever met (more on that in my trip report). I did ask him basically point blank (which caught him a bit off guard) whether he came to a financial agreement with people where he had a poor outcome (we were discussing his reviews in the forums during my surgery; I mentioned they were nearly all good except a couple); he said no and I believe him. He doesn’t like the fact that he is unable to do much about the poor reviews, particularly because he does his very best to make sure any conditions that are within his control for the surgeries are optimal (I’ve seen this first hand, more on that in my upcoming HT report). The doctor has the mindset that if his work is really good his practice will continue to grow and “the money will [eventually] come"; especially since he loves what he does for a living and strives to do the best he possibly can. For the caliber of work I am receiving (particularly his process of optimizing everything he can and focusing on his patients needs and desires while trying to be open and honest about what he can and can't do); I honestly don't think he charges enough. If he was practicing in the U.S. or the UK, I think he could easily charge more than double and people would gladly pay it.

We were talking about his results. Why did you come here to say that P. is a great doctor? Is this relevant for the topic? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll start a new thread when I get home for my HT report/review. My experience was far from perfect, but one of the better parts was my experience with the Doc. I'd like to hear from Guano as well if he every comes back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually I would say his post was relevant as above you were speculating that Guano had been paid off to keep quiet, Athensr has since added that he outright asked Dr Pekiner whether this was the case or not.

Regular Member Guano Posted June 26, 2021 Author Regular Member Share Posted June 26, 2021 Hey guys, Sorry to fall off the thread, having been feeling like coming on here due after bearing a bad result. I've attached a photo update so you can see where it's at. It's gotten better and matured more than before, however, there is still more density that is required. And i'm here to clarify, Dr Pekiner didn't pay me anything I just honestly couldn't be screwed coming on here cause I went through a deep depression my situation and constantly having hair on my mind was making it worse. I've gladly moved beyond it to some degree and am moving on with my life. If anything they've been quite understanding, his rep - Alex messaged me throughout and requested pictures of updates. They've offered to fix it for free but i'm unable to due to the covid situation in Australia (we're not allowed to fly internationally). But when the time comes I will go and hopefully it'll be fixed then. Any questions fire away 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member shami26 Posted June 26, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted June 26, 2021 Thank you for updating us. I totally understand your depression issues. Your hair looks a little better than your last update but hopefully Dr. Pekiner can fill it up for you sooner.

Senior Member SD1984 Posted June 26, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted June 26, 2021 It looks perfectly fine to me but yes it could have been denser. I'd say it was around 75% growth. I wonder what went wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member mxm56 Posted July 1, 2021 Regular Member Share Posted July 1, 2021 (edited) I think Dr. Pekiner is a very good doctor according to any parameter. We do get a bit dichotonic when it come to judgment, expecially when it is about something that happened to ourselves. While the density is not perfect, this is not a bad result by any mean, IMHO. There are several factors to evaluate, first of all the natural appearece (you had it). Then it comes a lot to some underliyng factors related to the personal phisyology. Of course most doctors hope they are going to obtaing their best result ever at any operation and i believe Dr. Pekiner is going to help you if your transplant will requiere that. So try to relax and think in a positive way that things may not be perfect at the first shot but you still on your way to get an ideal result, just a bit later.

But when the time comes I will go and hopefully it'll be fixed then. Any questions fire away Hey Guano. I would tell you that before you get any repair to consider a tricology appointment just to make sure you dont have any skin issues, autoinmune, liquen or anything that could have caused your bad result. Because if you do not even a great surgeon will fix it. You would need to treat that first. You can check in Spain Dra. Cotellesa, clínica Zira. She has done many repairs. She is young but promising, and she has worked on cases with people with skin conditions. In these cases she just puts some grafts (maybe just 50 or 100) to check if they survive and therefore its green light to put more. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
