Senior Member Britanium Posted December 19, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted December 19, 2020 (edited) How about HLC and Pekiner ? Or HDC (Cyprus) there are other choices. You don’t want to opt for lower cost. Some of the people you mentioned have little or any actual Dr involvement. @Doron Haratiis the HDC rep.

Senior Member UnbaldEagle Posted December 19, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted December 19, 2020 I agree with @JohnAC71, HLC, Pekiner and maybe Hakan Doganay, I wouldn't go with anyone else in Turkey. But best to avoid Turkey altogether. The ones you mentioned, technically they are all hairmills, with Cinik there's a chance to get a decent result if you go with his premium package where he has more involvement. Erdogan's clinic operates on many people a day with techs only doing all the operation, no wonder I've seen a lot of poor results recently. Even on this forum there's some people who complain their hairline is littered with multis, etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s fine to think another clinic is better but when you say “techs doing all the operation” no you’re being totally disingenuous and jumping on a negativity bandwagon without knowing what you’re talking about.

Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted December 19, 2020 Administrators Share Posted December 19, 2020 @JayLDD While I agree what you say about Doganay, we should withhold personal attacks. @UnbaldEagle is a new member, still learning, there’s no need for personal attacks. I will say this, asmed while heavily tech-based, are probably the best tech-based clinic, I put them above Cinik. There was a lapse in results for about a year or so, but it appears to be moving back on the right track. The information we got from Doganays previous rep, included re-using needles, etc. Basically lacking fundamental sterilization practices. It goes far beyond poor growth or refinement (lack ther-of).

Totally agree! I understand that having multiple surgeries at the same time at Asmed could lead to an impression of impersonality... But the pure argument of having techs conducting the extraction and the graft placements seems quite weak to me - I experienced the same with hattingenhair (dividing the FUT stripe into grafts and final graft placement was also done by the tech team) which obviously deliver consistently outstanding results.

Sorry, but this is not correct. Erdogan does the analysis, defines the strategy, controls both the extraction and placement and does the incisions himself. Regarding my previous post, in other clinics the procedure is almost the same (apart from the fact that they probably run not multiple surgeries the same day).

Senior Member mustang Posted December 19, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted December 19, 2020 Go to Dr Mwamba or Dra Vila Both are charging 2.50 euros per graft.

I wonder how he can perform all these steps when having up to 8 surgeries a day. If he did all above mentioned on your surgery, that's great, happy for you, maybe you're the exception and not the rule. This is turning into Asmed apologetism here, so I'll stop, don't think it's fair to hijack OP's thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member mustang Posted December 19, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted December 19, 2020 I really struggle to understand people that go to Turkey when you have the best FUE surgeons in the world in Spain and Belgium at similar rates.

But if she does know, it doesn't matter, so does Couto, the best in the world probably. I am sorry you think it's offensive but it's the truth. I have had 4 surgeries in Turkey, 4 in Belgium and 2 in Spain. The Standards are highly different so yes, the country and there colleagues are setting the standard to be competitive. In turkey any joker can do surgery, there is hundreds of clinics and only a couple of decent guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems to me that surgeons like Pekiner or Keser have higher standards than most other top surgeons, no? They do the entire procedure using manual FUE and stick and place, usually no more than 1000 grafts per day.

Senior Member T95good Posted December 20, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted December 20, 2020 I just recently went to HLC and was very happy with the experience.

Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted December 20, 2020 Administrators Share Posted December 20, 2020 @mustang I value your input as someone who’s gone to a lot of different doctors, including Turkey. I agree with what you say. There are good clinics in Turkey no doubt, but if the price is comparable I’d go elsewhere personally. 1 I’m a paid admin for Hair Transplant Network.

Senior Member mustang Posted December 20, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted December 20, 2020 Thanks Melvin None of the doctors have disappointed. Just some stood out more than others. Knowledge, warmth, patient care and growth which is the ultimate bar. My best growth I had with Feriduni, Vila and Mwamba. Keser was OK the first 2 but the third surgery barely anything grew and since then his cases have gone downhill. Feriduni's patient care it's out of this world Couto's knowledge is out of this world Mwamba's technical skills are out of this world. He can extract grafts from any part of the body without transection. HLC growth was great as well 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
