FUE Transplant w/Dr Cinik Istanbul

I am considering Maral Clinic, Dr. Resul Yaman, or Cosmedica Clinic in Turkey. The reason I am thinking about these clinics in Turkey is because for one, the work looks good and so are the reviews and for two the price. I'm from Los Angeles but I would never consider an FUE Hair Transplant in the USA for the fact that it is way to expensive and even the most expensive doctors in Turkey are still way cheaper than the USA. The more pricey doctors in Turkey charge around $10 to 12 thousand USD for a very large amount of grafts that would easily cost over $20,000 in the USA. Please reply with any good or bad info on any of these clinics i mentioned. I know about the whole issue that people say the "technicians" do most of the work in Turkey, but I know thats not true for all clinics. And to be honest with you, one of the top rated clinics in Turkey supposedly lets the techs do a good part of the surgery, which I was told online by some "Hair Blog Expert" but even if that was true, they still got excellent results, best in the business. The only reason I didn't choose them was 2.50 euros a graft plus a bunch of other fees which all adds up if you know what I mean.

I just had mine done in November I chose a clinic were the doctor harvested the hair I've revoved and he makes the insiciomns but the tecs sort the folic,Es out and place them I was happy with that it cost me £2500 pounds for 2500 graphs I know there are clinics that are cheaper but I felt more comfortable having it done this way some times cheap can end up not being that cheap the proof is if it works in the end I feel good about my procedure now but will I feel like that in a year hopefully I will but good luck with what you decide

2500 pounds is still not a bad price compared to the price here in the USA, what was the name of your doctor?
October 23, 2018

I didn't think it was a bad price could of got it a lot cheaper but I felt better paying a bit more for having more done by the doctor you will be surprised if you go to turkey how many men you see at the airport and around the hotels who have had fue and strip it is a very popular thing in turkey we only get to see reviewers on English sites but I'm sure there are many for different nationality I did notice a lot of Turkish clients around so everyone is having it done there just be careful about who you go with and if you do try and go when the weather is warmer a bit of sunshine can help blend the color from scalp to face if you get what I mean

Great point, I don't like the cold weather to begin with but my skin does not do good with cold weather. I'm thinking about going in the spring or maybe June. I've seen the doctor you chose online, he seems very educated in the field of transplants and yes, he does the work himself so I give him credit on that. I have been thinking about going with Dr. Resul Yaman? have you ever heard of him?

You often hear more about the clinic name than the dr name it doesn't ring a bell I think that the stress I went through trying to find the right person was worse than getting it done what you need is is to be told the truth so you know what to exspect I had a conversation about how certain clinics quote a price but when you get there they want more money for hotel the taxi didn't come not as many graphs and so on now that would not be cool with me I what honesty not reveiws that are not real there are some very inconsistent story's out there that only adds to the confusion bare in mind that you don't have to book up long in advance like uk or us just keep looking reading until the time your thinking of going check out the best airline tickets it may be better for you to fly to uk and then uk to Istanbul I think I paid about £80 return from London all depends were you are but a bit of planning can make things work smoother but I would still say that going bargain basement could end up being problematic I didn't have a lot of cash but I though I should try raise the bar a little so far so happy I will be posting pics ever month

February 26, 2018
have you decided on a surgeon?
February 27, 2018
I’m thinking about Dr Cinik
February 27, 2018
does he do the operation himself? or technicians? hair line clinic in ankara are good if you have that kind of budget
February 27, 2018
I know he opens up the channels but I did see on his instagram he was implanting the hairs too on this one patient
February 27, 2018
hairline clinic is good, they do their work with manual fue but the only problem i have with them is their price. It was out of my budget
February 27, 2018
yes I agree, that is why I did the 2 operations with Dr Civas. 11 months apart from each one, the final one I am doing with hair line clinic for the crown area, to get a full head of hair costs a lot of money lol
