Is the patient taking finasteride or minoxidil? The over head photo looks like night and day. Great results and thanks for sharing!

Hello Gatsby,

Yes, as stated in the original post, the patient was advised to use Finasteride and Minoxidil for the mid scalp and crown area which were showing some thinning. This was decide by Dr. Turan due to the young age of the patient.

That’s weird why not per graft?

Hello Randobrando,

I believe we are not the only clinic whose price is based on graft brackets. 

Our logic is that we want to remove the uncertainty of the final surgery price from the mindset of the patient. By charging a closed price based on the number of grafts, our patients know since they leave their home country how much the hair transplant surgery will cost them.

It might seem banal but let´s be honest the price of a surgery plays a key factor in the decision making process and not to know exactly how much the surgery cost until the surgery finishes brings additional stress to the patient.

We are aware that many clinics around the world charge per graft but based on the feedback of our patients, they highly value the fact of knowing how much money they will pay for their surgery since they do their bookings.

Hello RandoBrando,

As you mentioned most of the hair mills charge fix price. However, our clinic has nothing to do with a set up of a hair mill.

Dr. Turan performs maximum two surgeries per day, and when the surgeries require more than 3000 grafts the surgery is performed in two consecutive days and in those two days, there will be two patients being treated. 

Also, during the surgery the grafts are extracting in series of around 1000 grafts and they are implanted immediately limiting to maximum 1.5 hours the time that the grafts are outside of the scalp. This means, that a surgery of 3000 grafts is performed in three sessions of 1000 grafts each. When the surgery is split in two days, there are normally two sessions per day depending on the number of grafts needed for the patient. 

These practices set us far apart from a hair mill.

I think it's good that you charge per session. So everyone knows that he would pay up to 3250 euros for one day session and 4000 euros for 2 day session. Your prices are very reasonable and you offer good value for money. 

Let me ask you about the role of Dr Turan in the surgery. So he does the pre op and post op consultations, the design, planning and implantation with dhi method. What about the extraction of grafts? Is it done by technicians exclusively? Do they have much experience working with Dr Turan?

Hello Gramatik,

The extraction is performed by our extraction specialist, Mehmet, who has 9 years of experience doing extractions. All our extractions are performed using manual and micromotor punch. Normally the manual punch is used for the parietal areas and the micromotor for the occipital.

Also, please note that the grafts are extracted in stages. Each extraction consists of approximately 1000 grafts, once the grafts are extracted and classified, then Doctor Turan will do the implantation. Then, there is a lunch break and after it, another extraction and implantation takes place. If the patient needs more than 2000 grafts there will be a third extraction in the day. When the patients need more than 3000 grafts and the surgery is performed in two consecutive days, there are two extraction sessions per day.

Don´t hesitate to let me know if you have any further questions.
