You said you went to ASMED at a time when they were doing 3 patients per day and several members claim ASMED is now doing 8 patients per day which makes it impossible for the Doctor to coordinate all of them. I believe greed might have taken over quality and this is the reason why today they charge 8 HT per day and have a higher rate of bad results. Yes. When I was at Asmed in January 2017, we were 3 guys there operated in same day. But they moved their clinic. It can be true that they operate 8 patients per day... I think 3 patient with Asmed´s megasession is a lot. 8 patients per day is crazy... Yes, money and greed prevail over quality and ethics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not the biggest fan of Asmed but he does still produce decent results especially for guys who have extreme hair loss. There are better options out there, HLC in my opinion in the best clinic in Turkey and are far better. Yes. Agree. But I didn´t see any bad result of Dr. Couto, Dr. Lorenzo and HLC. In all three clinics are all steps of procedure performed by doctors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have not seen enough of Couto to make a statement an I do not even know what he is doing by himself. From Lorenzo I have seen poor results and he is NOT doing the procedure by himself anymore. I have seen several poor and average results from HLC.

Please, where did you see poor results of Lorenzo or HLC? On this forum? Or somewhere else? It is important for me to see as many results as possible from these three clinics and especially bad, because I did not find any. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member ITA Posted May 23, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted May 23, 2020 @BenChod Do you have an open thread on this forum so you can try your experience with Asmed? It would serve to warn other potential patients who intend to undergo a Koray transplant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes some good results but it is hit or miss with him, even some of the people on here who list all his good results to make a point , you can see bad ones in them too. One day karma will hit this clinic. It is true. I am sad and angry every day when I look in to the mirror, since I understood that this is my final result. It affects my overall mental state for last two years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it annoys me when the clinic posts good results because yes they do have them too (which isnwhy we went there)but 6 to 8 patients a day you will get good results and bad , quality will suffer if you have that many patients youll get your good and bad but it will be far too often. Suzana the coordinator told me come back for free well you just used up 5k grafts with very little growth andi have at 3k fue remaining so nothing they do can make up for the damage they've done. And why would i go back after such poor growth.. am i stupid? Am i mad ? She even said why would you want to go to another clinic where the doctor doesnt know you or your case! What had that got to do with it! And yes I recorded this convo i have proof. She said refunds are not their policy well when the growth is so bad like maybe 50% they should be saying sorry and making an exception when they really mess up. A total dissgrace. Thank you. Yes. But I was there, when they operated just 3 patients per day. Now bad result of Asmed are much more common. They offer you free touch up. But they didn't offer me anything. Or yes. 2500 grafts for 6.250,- eur. They think that I am crazy? 4500 grafts were used from 8500. @Melvin-Moderator wrote that he spoke with them about every single case and they have been standing by every case. @Melvin-Moderator, please, what did they told you about my case?

Senior Member miko Posted May 24, 2020 Author Senior Member Share Posted May 24, 2020 Yes, Asmed and Dr. Erdogan ruined my donor area and my self confidence. I was stupid for going there. But in 2016 they had many good results and almost no bad result. Yes, people shouldn´t be quiet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GNX1 Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 Well, unfortunately ur one of those ppl that have the X-Factor. Meaning, ur NOT a good candidate for a HT. Doesn't matter where u go for it the results it will be the same. Im sure if add enough grafts to ur hairline it will improve greatly but just know as u age ur gonna lose a lot more and u simply won't have enough donor hair to keep up if u have to use 3x the grafts to get the same result as someone else. Erdogan is one the top HT surgeons in the world! Ur HT at first looks like every other patient that has had a HT with Erdogan with success. He didn't just happen to "Screw ur head up". Again, ur simply NOT a candidate for a HT period! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member miko Posted May 25, 2020 Author Senior Member Share Posted May 25, 2020 Thanks for opinion, but I don´t think so. This would mean a high increase of "X-factor patients" in Asmed in recent times. My wrong shaped, unnatural hairline is also caused because of I am "X-factor patient"? I underwent consultations at several clinic, where I was told that my poor result was caused by a bad hair transplant. At two clinics, I was told that I could not have 3700 transplanted grafts in frontal area, but less. I don´t know if I was cheated with number of grafts, or many grafts did not survive. But my grafts are very evenly distributed without any empty spaces. Therefor I think that it can´t be the second option. At one clinic, when they saw me before consultation after HT at Asmed, they tought that I am suffering from Alopecia diffusa. I don't know if this is a good certificate for one of the best doctors. Dr. Erdogan maybe was one of the best. But in the past. Therefor I choosed him. Also is not very ethical that when I was in Istanbul and wanted to come to him in person, he told me through his assistant that he did not have time because he was busy moving the clinic... After reading more stories of other Asmed´s patients and seeing their pictures on this forum (and other forums), I don´t consider Dr. Erdogan one of the best...

Yes. There are too many X-factor patients at Asmed in last period... Asmed is one of the most non-professional medical facilities I have come in contact with. And yes, GNX1 lost his arguments...

This has been discussed many times. The only data we have were collected by @LordBaldwin. It does not show a significant increase in failed procedures at ASMED. However, it shows that the amount of subpar results always (!) was quite high. This leaves two options IMO : a) The amount of subpar results is higher as the clinics wants us to believe (all clinics) b) ASMED has always had a high amount of failed results I personally believe it is a combination of both. HT is more of a gamble than the clinics wants us to believe and ASMED is a high risk, high reward clinic doing a lot of megasessions, a lot of grafts in one day and using a ultra small punch. The latter is great for donor preservation but has additional risk for survival of the grafts. Just my opinion... 400+ grafts in 2018 and 2900 grafts in 2020 via FUE with Feriduni Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because it is true, that after 18 months since surgery they offered me touch-up procedure with 2500 number of grafts for 6.250,- eur (2,5 eur per graft). I didn´t decline anything. I was in contact with Asmed till 12th March 2020, when their patient coordinator wrote me their last message, that Dr. Erdogan will analyze my case again and she will write me his comment and result. Today is 20th June 2020 and she (and also nobody else) wrote me, or offered me anything, therefore I coulnd´t decline anything... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member Gasthoerer Posted August 3, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted August 3, 2020 ??? The first Pic does not look symmetrical to me as well. It also does not have to be symmetrical to look natural. It really depends on your facial features.
