Regular Member BaldingEagle1 Posted January 9 Regular Member Share Posted January 9 (edited) Hey all, While I understand the concern here that its best to avoid clinics that have a high chance of overharvesting, etc. I also think its important to go to a clinic who has that artistic touch, especially when it involves your hairline, which is primarily why I chose Eugenix for my first sitting. But now that's done, I'm trying to plan my second sitting which is crown and a little more density in the mid scalp. So my question is.. now that the most important part (arguably) is done, and Im very happy with the results, what possible complications would there be if I decided to go to turkey for the crown and a little density on the mid-scalp? TIA! Edited January 9 by BaldingEagle1 Follow my Hair Transplant experience with Eugenix! Nov 16, 2022 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted January 9 Administrators Share Posted January 9 It depends on the clinic. There are good clinics in Turkey. But if you’re insinuating that it would be okay to go to a cheap hair mill because you got the most important thing out of the way, then I would have to strongly disagree.

I just want to make a good informed decision, and not think one way only to be wrong.. Follow my Hair Transplant experience with Eugenix!

I just want to make a good informed decision, and not think one way only to be wrong.. In many ways, the crown is more complex than the hairline. Some clinics get good growth with the hairline and low yield with the crown. It is less critical, in my opinion, but equally as difficult, if not more difficult skill-wise.

Regular Member Eli_Avdikian Posted January 9 Regular Member Share Posted January 9 And that's if you go with a motorized punch. If you choose manual, she charges 4 euros/graft, that is to say, over 1 euro more than Pekiner. 4 minutes ago, Eli_Avdikian said: Bicer is as expensive as Pekiner ...

Crown work is sometimes more difficult as hairline work, i havent seen many examples for succesful work in the crown from turkish clinics. If i were you i would search to find doctors who are proven to give good results with crown work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just want to make a good informed decision, and not think one way only to be wrong.. Your first sentence in your original post already stated one of the problems going to a cheap clinic which is the possibility of donor over harvesting which could be worse on a 2nd transplant since you already have a lot of donor removed from the 1st transplant. Then there's the higher chance that a lot of the grafts won't grow. You could also get bad angles which may not be as noticeable on the crown, but it could still make styling your hair harder if the hair doesn't lay the right way. Crowns should have a whirl to be natural looking and you may not get that either. Al Forum Moderator (formerly BeHappy) I am a forum moderator for hairrestorationnetwork.com.

Just grows better/easier in the hairline due to the better blood supply? What would some do in the crown that others don’t, to have it grow better back there?

Yeah but I was just saying that we can't consider Bicer as a budget option anymore. Her motorized punch rate is almost as expensive as De Freitas, Pinto, Ximena Vila, and Pekiner, and her manual FUE option is more expensive than all of the aforementioned surgeons, bearing in mind that manual FUE extractions are performed at Pekiner's and Vila's clinic...
