Senior Member Pauls Posted July 17, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted July 17, 2020 Well I decided to have my HT with Dr Cinik due to the results and feedback from some of the forum’s members. Myself (42) and a good friend (44) traveled to Istanbul to have our procedures done on the 14th of July from Manchester UK , everything was pre organised via the clinic and we was put up in a lovely hotel 15min drive away from the clinic. The whole experience was very professional and Dr Cinik and his team did everything they could to make the procedure run a smoothly as possible. I just wanted to share my experience with you guys and maybe help those who can’t decide witch clinic to use when deciding on Turkey as their chosen destination for a HT. I know a lot of the forum members are not in favour of as they call “ Turkish Hair Mills “ but just like many more of you out there, my friend and I are just working class guys and can’t afford to go to the other side of the world and visit the top surgeons, fingers crossed the journey for me will be as successful as it’s been for many more of you guys. Any questions please feel free to drop me a message. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member ITA Posted July 17, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted July 17, 2020 (edited) good luck! 👍did you opt for the package in which the incisions are made by doctor Cinik? I seem to recognize his "mold", that is the very regular and linear engravings, however the work clean. Edited July 17, 2020 by Egy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I went with that package, a few changes made to his hairline as he initially had it too a point, but I wasn’t happy with that, thanks for your comments. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member Blower Posted July 18, 2020 Regular Member Share Posted July 18, 2020 hello all,.. i was the other guy who went with Pauls and had the same package aswell with mr Cinik opening the channels.. although i had two operations myself with now having 3 operations in total the fist being with Cosmedica (not happy with) wish i had gone with Mr cinik the first time now when i went to Turkey. both me and Pauls as he mentions are both limited in money to spend..and my view is that i was at least norwood 7 that if it is does not work how i want i have at least tried and not spent a great deal money wise.. i have got to add the experience with Cinik and his technicians was far far better than Cosmedica by far and i was happy with how they operated compared to Cosmedica i noticed this greatly in how the technicians operated throughout the operation... i know that my crown still needs some more work to get some density so i know myself i need to go back one more time at least... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member ITA Posted July 18, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted July 18, 2020 Hi @Blower and good luck to you too. We would be happy if you also opened your own thread on this forum. If you did your previous or previous procedures at Cosmedica before 2016, do you know that Acar and Cinik worked together right there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello Eggy i did not know this till recently that they worked together mate.. Dr accar aka Cosmedica do at least 5-6 times more patients a day than cinik i must add this also that is something i noticed when at Ciniks clinic.. at cosmedica they do double shifts and more operating rooms for both shifts..

Haha! I did this too, I didn't like the hairline being too pointed. Glad you had a good experience, everything looks fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member Pauls Posted September 14, 2020 Author Senior Member Share Posted September 14, 2020 Well it’s exactly 2 months since I went to Istanbul for my HT. All the shredding has stopped now and I’m starting to see some growth like baby hair. I’ve had the back and sides cut twice since the procedure but obviously nothing touched on top, I know I’ve got a hell of a long way to go but week by week in different lights I’m starting to see different parts of the transplanted hairs change. Im taking Biotin and multi vitamins provided by Dr Cinik , I also take Pumpkin seed oil capsules and Propecia 0.5mg Monday, Wednesday and Friday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
