Regular Member namy2451 Posted February 15, 2022 Regular Member Share Posted February 15, 2022 Another victim of this horrible clinic, they keep piling up... I wish you would have seen my last thread before you went through this horrible experience. right now the most important thing is not to get into depression and understand that there is a way out of it and get even a very good result through a second surgery, do not lose any hope just yet!

Also having pictures is more likely to prevent someone else from making the same mistake. I understand all that but I’ve come to terms with what’s happened and I don’t want any adverse opinions or reactions that might upset me. I just want to share my experience and try to warn others from visiting them. I don’t think they should be making money off people when they are in a vulnerable state especially when they are not providing an adequate level of care and transparency. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t even want my close friends to see me. I completely understand your hesitation to post pictures. However, no one here can offer an accurate assessment without pictures. If you block out your face you have nothing to lose 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This guy has clearly been through a traumatic experience, and is still at the stage of knowing what the hell has just hit him.

Exactly… claiming to ‘’understand my hesitation to post pictures’’ and then asking me to block out my face and post it. A picture with a blocked out face is still a picture. I’m not here to provide entertainment with any of my pictures. If you want to go to Asli then go. For the people that care about being treated with respect and transparency and also to have their wishes about their appearance honoured but more importantly, treated as though you’re a patient having a serious life changing operation then take account of my experience and don’t just look at or listen to the people that got lucky. The ones that are not happy about their results are not posting on YouTube and making videos every week. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry to hear about your experience. Hopefully, it is of some small comfort that documenting your experience can stop others from ending up in this situation. On a practical note: Most reputable Doctors will have waiting lists, sometimes a year or more. It would be worth doing your research now and getting something booked. The clinics that can book you in at short notice are more likely to be the ones to avoid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me tell you one more thing, even those on YouTube who make videos every week, even if they are not really happy with the result, they will say they like it, so that they do not look like idiots. the comments will also be like: "Amazing result dude", even though the result is bad. Some of the comments are fake users of the same clinics. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The issue is that you likely can't get a consultation until around the 10 month mark. I remember @digi23 saying something similar as he was looking for a repair. Definitely do your research and make contact with the clinics you choose, but don't be shocked if they make you wait a certain period before giving you a true consultation. Good Luck, I hope this gets better for you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Down the line hopefully you can get back to the forum and let people know how the end result goes. It can take up to 12 months for all the transplanted hairs to start growing out. It will be stressful between now and the six month mark but it's out of your hands. Hopefully you'll get a decent result at the end of this. 1 My Hair Loss Website Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then I watched the journeys of people that went to those few from beginning to end on YouTube to see their final results and if this hair transplant thing actually worked. I even watched people that were going through the journey in real time on YouTube so there was no way they could hide their results or delete the videos if it didn’t turn out how they wanted. Then I started my consultations. I didn’t want to go with the cheapest but I also didn’t want to go with the most expensive so I went smack in the middle as the results weren’t so different from the expensive one. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I googled Asli Tarcan a youtube video came out on top by I AM RIO P. (Hair Transplant Experience & Update | Asli Tarcan Hair Clinic | Istanbul, Turkey 26 Oct 2021). I jumped to the consultation, and there was a lot of similarities to your experience, including the infection. Have you seen his channel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I’ve seen it they outright lied to him about an infection they gave him and then made him pay to get injected in the butt for an infection that he supposedly didn’t have.

In doing my research I thought I chose a happy medium in terms of results and price. Asli seems to have given hope to a lot of these YouTube guys that go there and any negative feedback of their favourite clinic is met with harsh comebacks. That stupid dancing around crap they have guys doing for Instagram is so off putting and only for the benefit and ego of the clinic and that guy that draws the hairlines. I’m still trying to figure out why they make you take off your top in their cringy video as if it makes the hair grow better or something.
