nikoladjs Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Hello everyone! I have a bad transplant results from a certain clinic in Istanbul - pluggy looking hairline, 90° angle of grafts, on temple sides it looks like horns growing out of my head when I grow it a bit longer. So, I want to have it repaired(removing multi-hair grafts from the hairline, removing the poor angled grafts from the sides, replacing it with singles, in proper direction and angles.), but I don't want to do it in Turkey, I'd prefer doing it in my hometown, Belgrade. The reason for that is obviously language barriers, and not having to travel to a different country. Also, most of the clinics here have good aftercare so I could go to them anytime after my transplant. My question to you guys is, have any of you been to HAIR CENTER SERBIA ( dr Gorana Kuka Epstein)? I read some good reviews of her work, saw some pretty good photos of repairs, similar like mine. Thank you very much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Britanium Posted July 30, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted July 30, 2021 Please reconsider this. You have one poor transplant and it’s very likely you will get another poor one from that Dr. https://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/search/?&q=Serbia &search_and_or=or We do need to consider travelling to get to a decent Clinic/Dr. Going close to you is going to end up badly.

Senior Member Britanium Posted July 30, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted July 30, 2021 (edited) When I think of repairs I think BHR @sl@Raphael84(Dr Bisanga), HDC @Doron Harati, HLC, Dr Mwamba and Vertex @DrTBarghouthi as just a few examples!

Senior Member Westview Posted July 30, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted July 30, 2021 The bad news: you got a terrible transplant. The good news: all this is fixable, it will just cost you more money. Just be grateful those grafts werent wasted though, they just have to be re-located again. Go to a top FUE clinic and you're all set Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted July 30, 2021 Administrators Share Posted July 30, 2021 I’m sorry this is absolutely terrible work. The good news is you can definitely get it fixed.

Regular Member Forty Six & 2 Posted July 31, 2021 Regular Member Share Posted July 31, 2021 Repair procedures are more complicated than a normal hair transplant. I would choose a doctor who is familiar with this kind of surgery. Names have already been mentioned. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can take a look here: Also, she has some of it on her youtube channel. Edited July 31, 2021 by Melvin- Moderator Removed link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Spring15 Posted July 31, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted July 31, 2021 I mean it's not the best transplant, but I've seen a lot worse. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member ITA Posted July 31, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted July 31, 2021 @nikoladjsthere is nothing more wrong than choosing a clinic based on the photos of hypothetical patients, published on the social media profiles of the clinics themselves. Many of these clinics open websites by posting photos stolen by real surgeons, claiming to own them, here in my opinion, you are in the right place to choose the surgeon / clinic for your repair procedure, look at many cases especially of those patients who open their threads and update them month by month from start to finish, doubts even a little of those who come here and post a slew of photos from pre-procedure to the end, all together. This is my advice. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Britanium Posted July 31, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted July 31, 2021 What’s your donor area like now ? Can you post a pic ? How many grafts were taken for your first procedure ? Thanks 🙏 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They say it was 4700 grafts, but I think it's way less, like 3500-4000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Britanium Posted July 31, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted July 31, 2021 Thanks, have you got the post op pics ? We can see how many grafts were taken. If it was only 3500 then at least you will have plenty more in reserve. I severely doubt it was 4700. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, thank you for your replies! For sure it’s better. They did not manage the donor area at all well. The one saving grace is that they definitely used a hell of a lot less grafts.

Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted July 31, 2021 Administrators Share Posted July 31, 2021 My suggestion is send some virtual consultations to the surgeons approved and recommended by this forum. https://www.hairtransplantnetwork.com/Consult-a-Physician/hair-transplant-surgeons.asp?sr=HRN-MOB I’m a paid admin for Hair Transplant Network.
