Regular Member Joe809 Posted April 6 Regular Member Share Posted April 6 Hey fellow a quick review of my journey. I am 35 yo. Hispanic hair type:curly After careful consideration and consultations with multiple doctors, including Pekiner, I narrowed down my options to two choices: Pinto and Bekir. Ultimately, I decided to undergo my hair transplant with Doctor Bekir. Accompanied by my cousin ( I will be doing another post with his review, it would be shorter and may not have often updates as this one) we embarked on this journey together. Before delving into the procedure itself, it's worth mentioning our stay at the Grand Mercure, where we found a great deal for around $100 a night. Despite having the worst Wi-Fi ever, the overall experience was pleasant, thanks to the convenient location with plenty of dining and shopping options nearby (I got a good deal at the mall for some ray-band) Upon arriving at Doctor Bekir's office, I was immediately impressed by his professionalism and expertise (loved everyone was so focused, his 2 assistants which came from the same clinic hlc). Despite initially planning for 3600 grafts, Doctor Bekir adjusted the number to around 2900 due to the complexity of my graft extraction (graft were in different directions) and implantation. Throughout the procedure, he demonstrated meticulous attention to detail, using a motorized punch with a .8mm diameter, even for my curly hair. This level of precision reassured me of his commitment to achieving natural-looking results tailored to my specific hair characteristics. Despite my pre-surgery jitters and a higher-than-usual caffeine intake, Doctor Bekir remained calm and focused, ensuring that the implantation process went smoothly, even though taking a bit longer than usual ( during implantation some graft kept moving and he had to move it back so each day it took him like 3 hours more than my cousing). His ability to adapt to unexpected challenges further solidified my confidence in his skills as a top-tier hair transplant specialist. Overall, my experience with Doctor Bekir was nothing short of exceptional. From his professionalism and expertise to the friendly and accommodating staff, every aspect of the journey contributed to a positive outcome. I wholeheartedly recommend Doctor Bekir to anyone considering a hair transplant, as he truly is a hidden gem and quite possibly the best doctor in Turkey, with the versatility to work on multiple hair styles. Forgot to mention he provided transportation from the hotel to the clinic. Both days were the same extraction, break, implantation, lunch, extraction, break and implantation( we were both days from 8:45 to 8:30pm, my cousing was there until 5pm as stated previously my case was more challenging)The clinic is in a very nice building looks like a nyc building. During breaks he provided some snacks which they were very good. On the first day due to the 7 hours difference I didn’t eat breakfast so he provided me enough snacks which was very helpful. Any questions feel free to ask, I will be uploading my cousing too. Pictures are before operations, one for the first day, a few same day bandages were taken off and 6 days later. The last picture is from the day the bandage was taken off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What was the doctor involvement in your hair transplant? also how much did you pay per graft?? Doctor Bekir did everything from extraction to implantation and hairline design. I paid 1.75. He is worth more than that not sure how long he will keep the price or if he even have the same price. You should contact him directly. For me I was not looking for pricing more quality, as you saw on my post I contacted pekiner, pinto etc. But I did a lot research on his work at hlc and spoke with folks that he did the implantation at hlc and I really like his work.

Regular Member translator Posted Tuesday at 05:20 AM Regular Member Share Posted Tuesday at 05:20 AM (edited) Very good, like how donor recovered. Your curly hair type also contributes nicely. Has your shedding stopped? I've also done my procedure with dr Bek 2 weeks ago, dense packing and all - looking forward for good recovering as well Edited Tuesday at 05:24 AM by translator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
