Regular Member JojoBeard Posted December 5, 2020 Regular Member Share Posted December 5, 2020 (edited) Hey everyone, I'm at day+5 after my beard transplant at Dr Pekiner in Ankara. I want to give my review and my opinion at this stage. Quick presentation : - 26 yo - European - A little patchy beard, not nothing but not a beard - Tried all type of shit product before (oils,...) that had no effect at all apart from loosing time and money FIRST OF ALL IMPORTANT POINTS : No one is asking me to post this ! I didn't get any discount or whatsoever for posting this ! This is not an advertisement, this is only my personal experience and feelings. My native language isn't English so don't expect something perfect. I'm summarizing all of my adventure with Dr Pekiner until today (December 5t 2020) : FIRST : Talking on Whats'app 2 months ago, I had the courage to start contacting several clinics in Turkey about beard transplant to get some information, price and so on. Like everyone, at the beginning I was talking to big clinics paying thousand of euros in ads and thanks god, one day i was looking on this forum and I found real doctors (and Dr Pekiner) I choose Dr Pekiner among others because : - He made a real analysis of my case, he was not sending automatic reply - This forum made me confident about him - Overall price was good - He told me 2 days of surgery for 1800 graft, others clinic told me 3000-4000 graft in one single day (WTF!!!) I'm not an expert but this made me afraid - Manual FUE and Dr Pekiner did the whole surgery! If you let Dr Pekiner team choose the date, you might have a discount (I AM NOT WORKING FOR THEM SO NO GUARANTEE). I'm working from home actually so for me the date wasn't a problem at all. SECOND : Arrival in Ankara I arrived in Ankara one week ago, a bit stressed, didn't know what my face will look like after this kind of surgery. Private transport from the airport was 5/5 Partner hotel is 10 meters from Dr Pekiner clinic, so I arrived late and go straight to sleep. First day of surgery the next day. I realise how was nice to walk 10 meter to your hotel after the surgery with your head and the bandage SURGERY Ok we arrived at the big day, the day that will probably change the rest of my life. First impression of the clinic : Impressive ! Brand new, Instant Corona Test when I arrived (first time I did it in my life) all the necessary precaution are taken I was the only one in the clinic, no others customers, no other people, I had Dr Pekiner and his team only for me. You have personal room only for you with Food, TV to rest I started talking with Dr Pekiner, and I already knew I made a good choice. A really nice person and Dr. We took almost 2 hours analyzing my case, drawing the beard line, with all his team checking. When we agreed on something then the real work started. So in my case it was around 1800 graft in 2 days and every day was divided in 2 parts. (Morning : Extraction then implantation, same the afternoon) so in total 4 times the process. It's a bit long, but to be honest, it's longer for them than for you, you're sited doing nothing, feeling nothing, and they do the hard job ! PAIN ? Ok let's talk about that ! So during the 2 days, I'll say pain is less than 5 minutes. You'll only feel the firsts anesthesia shot, if i have to judge, I'll say the pain is 2/10 but eveyone is different. Going to the dentist is for me more painful than the beard transplant. Once the anesthesia part is done, then it's magic : YOU CAN'T EVEN KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING ON YOU'RE FACE, YOU FEEL NOTHING! MAGIC. Then time for lunch : Another magic time. 5 Stars lunch ! Its was so good, I can go again to Dr Pekiner clinic only for lunch... Dr told me they all do by themselves (even food) to avoid external contacts. Then again, extraction, implantation and so on. Dr Pekiner with his team were working so hard, he was there during the whole surgery, of course he is not a robot so sometimes they changed the role with his team but he was always here and I think he did 90% of the whole thing. MY FEELING So know I'm at day 5, no pain at all, donor area is clean and you almost can't see any mark of the surgery (so today, no matter the outcome in one year, I still have my head as before) My beard is healing well, we can see some white dot but Dr told me this is the normal healing process. He expects the hair to fall in the next week. And then he told me that he expect an exponential grow after 2-3 month (let's see) I'm really happy, I was afraid during years about doing this and now this is done, and that was done was such a great Doctor. He took care during the all surgery, I can feel that he did his best for me. I don't know what we be the final result, but I have no doubt he did his best. So only for that I'm already happy. I can talk a lot but one last things : THANK YOU ALL GUYS IN THIS FORUM !! This forum saved my life from going to low-cost clinic in Istanbul. You literally saved me from a potential disaster. I am not telling you to go to this doctor or another one. I'm just telling you BE CAREFUL, WHEN YOU SEE CLINIC WITH 10 000 5 stars reviews... You'll be only a number, they won't care about you. I'm so happy God saved me. THANK YOU SO MUCH DR PEKINER AND YOUR TEAM! THANKS TO THE 3 GUYS WHO WORKED HARD WITH YOU !! PICTURES I just receveid the pictures from the clinic, I posted down about my donor area For the beard picture, they're coming, I need to edit them and hide my face I might give you some update in the next weeks and months but maybe I won't come back in this forum... And AGAIN : This is not an advertisement, this is my personal review. I was really close to falling into the trap of big ads clinics ! DONOR AREA BEFORE SURGERY DONOR AREA RIGHT AFTER THE SURGERY DONOR AREA AFTER 6 DAYS (this is magic) Edited December 7, 2020 by JojoBeard 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one will take edited pics such as this. In all case, Dr Pekiner will probably post the picture he made, with the drawing and he had a real camera so he will look better 5 minutes ago, JohnAC71 said: Thanks 🙏 This is really nice work. I can see it ending up very natural looking. Yeah, the wave was made by the doctor, this is not a mistake, i didn't want something too straight. The doctor played a lot with the density, so he made the density at the chin match my original beard, and the more we go up, the less density. This guy is an artist guy! Let's see what I'll look like in weeks and months. I'll try to update. He was a real personnal work case by case, I felt the doctor was adjusting everything according to my face! And once again thank you guys, all in this forum! Its here when I found him. Edited December 5, 2020 by JojoBeard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
