Kristian Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 Hey people! I'm shortly before making a decision regarding my HT in Istanbul. I did a lot of research and also talked to people which already had a HT to see some "real" results. The final decision will be between Dr Cinik and Cosmedica, although there are good and also bad reviews for both clinics in this site. I know a few people personally which have been to Dr Cinik and are quite happy, also the results look good. Before I make the final decision, I give it a try here! I would be so happy and thankful if you could share your experience with those two addresses or also tell me your favourite address in Istanbul. Many thanks! FYI: In my case I need around 4000 grafts, and I'm 28 years old. Kristian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member WhiteyUK Posted June 12, 2023 Senior Member Share Posted June 12, 2023 Hi Kristian … I personally went to Dr Cinik and had a great result but you will not get anybody recommending him on here ( or cosmedica ) as they are both hairmills. There are a few clinics in Istanbul that are recommended here so do your research. And good luck 🤞🏽 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member TheGreatPretender Posted June 12, 2023 Senior Member Share Posted June 12, 2023 (edited) I wouldn't advise either. Turkey has Bicer, Gur, Turan and Pekiner. These are the names you should be looking at if that's were you want to go. Yaman is another option.

Yaman is another option. @Kristian follow this list. these 5 are best options in turkey. they have different pricing too so depending on budget you can select any. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valued Contributor A_4_Archan Posted June 12, 2023 Valued Contributor Share Posted June 12, 2023 If you are looking for a budget doctor than you can check out dr gur and if there is no budget constraint than you can check dr pekiner ....and why are you narrowing your options by searching for a doctor in just one particular country ..if you open up on traveling to other countries than you can get more options including the doctors in turkey so you choose from a wider range Check Out My Hair Transplant Journey --> My Thread 3611 FUE Grafts With Dr Kongkiat Laorwong | Norwood 5 | 2nd May 2023 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member mr_peanutbutter Posted June 12, 2023 Senior Member Share Posted June 12, 2023 you need to reach out to eugenix in india or pittella in brasil. i dont think you will get a good result in turkey you have a not so good donor and are norwood 7. i hope you have a good beard because you will need beard hairs to transplant for sure 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member BackFromTheBrink Posted June 12, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted June 12, 2023 (edited) I'd have to say, a transplant is likely not the best way forward. As others have said, if you're determined to get surgery, the only option is to find a good surgeon who has a proven record of using body hair. What outcome would you be happy with?

Regular Member YodaHead Posted June 12, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted June 12, 2023 @markrahim You mentioned you had FUT done in past. Did the transplanted hair not survive or are those the one we currently see at the top? If HT is an option for you, then you will need to work with a good surgeon (eg Eugenix or Pittella) to figure out the math about availability of donor and expectation. You will have to use beard and/or chest hair for sure in any case. 12.5k grafts with Dr. Felipe Pitella in Jan 2024.

Your level of hairloss plus previous failed surgery is not a case for any Turkish clinic in my view. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valued Contributor Gatsby Posted June 13, 2023 Valued Contributor Share Posted June 13, 2023 I have to agree with @mr_peanutbutter that you need to really see Dr Sethi or Dr Pittella. What are your goals? Complete coverage? Frontal half? I don't mean to sound disrespectful and I am only going by your pics but your donor does not appear to be very strong at all. Perhaps you could provide some better pictures of your side and rear donor area? Choosing surgery (and it is permanent surgery) by geography and price is a recipe for disaster and regret.

Regular Member duckling Posted June 13, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted June 13, 2023 i dont think you should do HT for now. as you have started meds then see the result at 1 year or 6 months at minimum. Maybe you are one of the hyper responders. (just a hope) you are norwood 7 with weak donor (atleast it looks from side that way) . so you need meds to give great result and then maybe still i would not recommend it but if you have a beard and maybe some good chest hair then you stand some chance. in my honest opinion shaving head and then doing smp with grown out beard is the way forward for you.
