WORTH IT$5,750
I had been considering an FUE procedure for a couple of years. I visited a couple of UK clinics however could not justify the 15k price tag even if I could have afforded it. I did a lot of research about different clinics and surgeons in Turkey. Finally I decided on AEK and Dr Ali. The cost was higher than most however cost was not the main factor once I decided on turkey as everywhere is significantly cheaper than the UK. I wanted an experienced surgeon taking my grafts and doing the implants. I also wanted a surgeon who could speak good English. The whole experience was as described in the Skype consultation I had with Dr Ali. The procedure over the two days went smoothly with only moderate pain occasionally. I have now returned to the UK and its 4 days post op.

1 week post Op
As promised a few pictures. It's now 6 days since the end of my 2 day procedure. It's been a mixed week in relation to pain. Some days hardly any and on other days the donor area has been quite painful. I'd say a 5 out of 10. Bearable with a couple of pain killers. The scabs are falling of nicely with nothing more than a gentle rub during my daily wash. Very pleased with the results so far.

Nice! Good to hear that you doing well. How many days worth of pain medications Dr. Ali gave you ?

March 29, 2016
Thanks :). Dr Ali gave me a box of general 500mg paracetamol which have worked OK. Not needed them all the time, just more when trying to relax.

good luck :) How many hairs did 3500 grafts give ya?


March 31, 2016
Wow, that's a lot of multiple hair groupings! My 3500 grafts only produced about 5300 hairs. Anyway, I'm thankful for every hair I have.

Hi Danny, hope all is still going well. I am now 6 weeks post op. My main problem is the itching around the donor area. Did you have this? Any tips or lotions would be appreciated :)

Does your price include all your travel expenses as well?

June 14, 2016
Hi, No afraid not. The price covers collection from the airport, 2 nights stay in nice hotel and the procedure by the Dr. There is then the return journey to the airport.

Okay because I am also considering dr. K as well and he is quoting a 0.6 euros per hair and I'm trying to figure out how much it's going to be probably going to get anywhere from 4000 to 8000 hairs your price just seems a little high. I don't know if you got quoted by hair or by graft thanks for the help
October 12, 2016
Yes i got the same quote per hair... and per graft equiv he mentioned 1.5€ ...
