Extremely Bad Result from Dr Erkan Demirsoy (Istanbul)

simha81

Hi guys, I had a FUE hair transplant from Dr Erkan Demirsoy from Istanbul. I had my surgery done in 2016. The result is horrendous extremely bad. Doctor didn't give any attention to the procedure. He is always in and out leaving me with technicians. He said he transplant 3450 grafts in total.

I recently had a consultation with one of the hair transplant surgeon in the UK. After examining my scalp the doctor said that it's a failure and the angle of the direction that grafts transplanted also in wrong direction and definitely not transplanted 3450 grafts. It's a very bad result. I have sent my pictures to Demirsoy after evaluating my poor results he is blaming me that I didn't took Finasteride that's why I had a bad result.

In general people decide to have hair transplant to avoid taking Finasteride because if it's adverse side effects and he is blaming that I didn't took Finasteride. He charged 1.25 Euros per graft and the outcome/result is worst. Please guys avoid this doctor at any cost. Don't have your procedure done from this doctor even it's for free because you will lose your valuable grafts.

I had a similar experience with this doctor. His technicians created a deep scar on my scalp that I'll carry with me for the rest of my life. I have headaches and pain ever after 6 years. Worst mistake of my life.

Do you have photos from around 2017? That should have been the peak of the hair growth. It's very possible that you lost the surrounding hair to continued balding since you didn't take finasteride.

I understand your pain. I too received a failed hair transplant from Dr. Demirsoy. 2940 grafts received on March 8th, 2021. Over 60% of the grafts died. The nurses doing the implantation were horsing around the whole procedure. Now I can't even get a response from the clinic, worst mistake of my life.
