WORTH IT
Wanted to change my appearance, being bald has been an issue for me for years and I decided to do something about it at last! I decided to go to Istanbul for the treatment due to the competitive rates available. After much research over a year I deceived on AEK Hair Institute run by Dr Karadeniz and team.

I look forward to seeing your results. How many grafts did you get and what method of transplant was performed?

Hi, I had a combined fue and fut procedure yielding 5077 grafts in total. Will keep this site updated of progress.

Wow, that's a lot! I also had a combined FUE / FUT procedure in Istanbul last January. Total was 4950 grafts. I think you can get a lot more this way, but there aren't that many surgeons offering it as an option. Will be interested to see how yours turns out! Will

Excellent, thank you! Would you mind posting the details about the amount of grafts and method as an update to your review? That way it won't get lost in comments.

No problem will do it now.

My sisters hair is falling out heaps and i will inform her of it, how much did it cost
January 25, 2015
It was reasonable don't think it's fair on Dr Karadeniz and team to publish cost as each case is unique, for an idea I would contact him direct and go from there.

Start of week 3 post op and I'm experiencing moderate shock loss which I expected although it's not great to have it. Suture has healed nicely and is now hidden. Surprised at people's reactions more one of intrigue and interest and support not what I expected!!

Thank you for the photo update, looking great! Nice to hear that you are getting positive reactions and support from people. Has anyone mentioned that they have wanted to do the same thing? 

January 26, 2015
Yeah a few of my friends for some it's a big deal due to the slight stigma but I'm encouraging them to do what they want, to quote my best friend 'nothing wrong with something that makes you happy and doesn't hurt anyone else'

I agree with your best friend, do what makes you happy. Maybe you have inspired some of our friends thinking about a hair transplant to take the plunge. :)

Hopefully ;-)

4 months post op

hair is growing and filled all areas up to the newly created hairline pleased so far, hoping the density will increase over the next few months as it is still a little thin. Overall a very dramatic change in appearance...

Oh wow, your hair is filling in nicely. :)

Yes it is looking for more density now over the next few months

Looks very good- I did get prices from this doctor and they are close to what they charge in US (I am Norwood 2). This doctor wrote good feedback on Turkish clinics here http://www.realself.com/question/albania-happy-results?utm_source=Sailthru&utm_medium=email&utm_term=GlobalNLNormalUnpop&utm_campaign=NLU2XWeekPM%202015-05-17
