Stranger91 Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 I've looked at plenty of option now and he gives off the right vibes. He is part of the IHRS, speaks well and always happy be on a call. He does the procedure himself and only does one a day. He's very fairly priced around 2000 Euros. He has over 15 years of experience. I've not seen any bad reviews about this guy but also nothing amazing about it. He does take card payment but he seems to be encouraging me to pay by cash. That's my only red flag I have. Can anyone help? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member StillAlive Posted December 16, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted December 16, 2022 Cash payments are for tax reasons. If you want the doctor to like you more, bring cash 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stranger91 Posted December 16, 2022 Author Share Posted December 16, 2022 Is this a red flag in anyway? He said it's because he gets charged by the card company. Any opinion on Ilhan? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Pbaird98 Posted December 16, 2022 Regular Member Share Posted December 16, 2022 Association with ISHRS doesn’t in anyway mean the Dr or Clinic is going to give you a decent result. Try and find any actual patient results that have been posted here or elsewhere that you can actually see are genuine postings. Why don’t you choose someone that you can see many results? Research is key as always. Not seeing any bad reviews at all is a red flag, all Drs have them regardless. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member WhereIsMyMind Posted December 17, 2022 Regular Member Share Posted December 17, 2022 Your only insurance when choosing a doctor is a real person, that documents his proccedure and results with a doctor. This is the main value of this forum when we choose most doctors. IHRS, online reviews, or anything else, guarantees absolutely nothing. Of course this is purely a risk/reward situation. You pay much less than most of us, but it's riskier choice. Only you can know if the risk/reward ratio is good for you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That you can actually see the results from start to finish? What made you look at him in particular? How much involvement does he have in the procedure, as mentioned above it’s a risk.

Regular Member Pbaird98 Posted December 17, 2022 Regular Member Share Posted December 17, 2022 Ok so I just pulled up a brief forum search and all I can see is low end/poor work and posters which are either hit and run or just never returned/updated.

Regular Member WhereIsMyMind Posted December 17, 2022 Regular Member Share Posted December 17, 2022 Looks like you are in for one of those nice Russian Roullete transplants 😄 My only advice is...try to think if something that you will do once or twice in your life is worth adding risk in exchange for less money paid 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who were the others you have got quotes from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stranger91 Posted December 17, 2022 Author Share Posted December 17, 2022 Thanks for the suggestions. I've got many quotes from the likes of Longevita, Vera Clinic, AEK amongst others. I've pretty much emailed most if the Istanbul based doctors on the IHRS website. Kaan Akso, Dogan Berkay are others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member WhereIsMyMind Posted December 17, 2022 Regular Member Share Posted December 17, 2022 (edited) Im not too familiar with the lower budget ones sorry. I always guide myself by real user reviews on this or other forums. If I see more than 2 bad results I consider it risky. Good doctors have like >95% satisfaction rate.

All low end of hair mills, shows that the IHRS is not the place to rely on, The better/only options in Turkey remain Dr Pekiner, Dr Keser, Dr Turan/Gur of Fuecapilir. Some others might consider Dr Yaman or Dr Demirsoy, personally though i would look as many results for all… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member WhereIsMyMind Posted December 17, 2022 Regular Member Share Posted December 17, 2022 Well, they resonate in this forum a lot but here I go, these are drs with consistent results, where 95% of cases people post a happy story and very little dissapointed ones. EU: Couto, Freitas, Bisanga, Mwamba, Ferreira, dr Vila, Pinto ... and more US: Dr Konior and H&W India: Eugenix (famous for their high norwood restorations) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

melkimsey Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 Ilhan is great, and I had to use a card in the end because though I was told there were American banks in Turkey, there was not. So I provided the little bit of cash I had with me, and paid the rest with an international VISA card. He was very understanding, honest and above board. And I received excellent results--and I am responding 10 months later. And note my age. Here is an email I recently sent to Ilhan: I tell my wife, as far as I'm concerned, it's one of the best decisions I've made. In her birthday card to me this year, she wrote, "Congratulations on your 75th birthday, you who looks younger this year than last!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
