Ronnieroo22, hopfully you'll pick up soon and it'll all be worth it in the end.

2500 from fue sounds like a lot but hey i'm no pro, still (considered by some) in my early days of hairloss research (2+ years!) but yeah fue and 2500 grafts?

What i did want to ask is if you could tell us a little more about your experience and mainly, for me, where you had your procedure?

Regards and stay strong mate,

Hope it all works out for you.

Jinemed Clinic - Turkey

Thanks for your reply, I had my procedure done at the Jinemed Clinic Turkey as everything in the UK is twice the price.

I did a lot of research and checked references got signed contracts and set off all excited. Got all the details I was concerned about in writing. Despite all this the surgeon didn't seem aware of any of our discussions and didn't speak a word of English. Neither did any of the other medical staff, just one admin who only worked 9-5 and I seen for no more than 15 mins in 3 days.

I asked to see the person who I had e-mailed as a director of the clinic to complain and show him the state they left my hair. But told he didn't work Saturdays and he took a week to reply to my complaints with a reply that he believed my complaint was unfounded.

These included the A/C not working in Sept at 81C. Told the staff who opened the window - which made it hotter. Spent 3 days with curtains drawn and wet towels in fridge.

The lights (on motion sensor) in the bathroom kept going off whilst in the shower - so I ended up flooding the shower room jumping in & out.

The noise from the traffic was unbelievable from 5.30am till 3am. (he replied I could have changed to a room at the back) How when none of the staff spoke a word of English????

After they shaved the back of my hair off up to 1" from the top of my hair I was distraught and sobbed through most of the operation. Although apparently I was very happy - Yeah happy to get the hell out of there.

Since coming home, I e-mailed the director and it took a week to reply. I think he just thought I wanted money back.... Stuff that I wanted it to never happen to another person. Feel like they have taken my money done a terrible job and turned their back on me.

Swollen bruised and running a temperature - he will no longer answer my calls or e-mails. Please anyone who is thinking of using this clinic - DON'T

I was on the brink of booking an Appointment with these guys... glad I've read your post, another guy from Holland wrote an equally damning report on them too. (had to ask him to translate it which he kindly did).

You seem to have done even more research than I had to be fair, wonder if they're all like that over there. Cevre hospital seems equally as cheap and professional on the surface but man they're pushing hard with the hard sell.

Plus I'm convinced on their level of English either...

Dilemma as I want mine doing in about 3 weeks but don't want to pay UK prices if I'm honest

In the nick of time

I am so glad you read my mail, I had been looking at 2 clinics and this is the other I wish I had chosen.

The surgeon is Canadian but works out of Budapest in Hungary. We have a holiday home in Hungary so know Budapest fairly well. It doesn't come with hotel but you can get really cheap flights with jet2 and they will do a hotel package.

I have sent him a quick e-mail to say I am passing your details so drop him a line to see when he is next available.

Dr Manste - tmantse@prohair.hu

Good luck and let me know how you get on. Ronnie

**Aggy** · 09-23-2011, 12:18 AM

Cheers Ronnie,

The Canadian element gives me more reassurance.

Have you seen this Dr's work or does his clinic have a website I can check out whilst I wait for his response?

Being a fellow Cheshire-ite I defo don't want lightning striking twice :-)

That's great you will be flying out of Manchester so Jet2 will be perfect for cheap flights. I wish I could send you my private e-mail but can't figure how to without everyone seeing it.

Never seen Dr Manste - the long hair is just rubbing salt in the wound - he he!

**Aggy** · 09-23-2011, 12:42 AM

Cool I'll check his site out.

I'm living in London now but even more airports to find a cheap flight but guess it all depends on availability etc.

Thanks Ronnie

Please guys the price shouldn't be the determining factor for undergoing a HT. There are many great surgeons in the IAHRS so check with them first. Once you are cut you will have to live with the consequences for the rest of your life. Unfortunately you get what you pay for, but I don't think the risk is worth ruining you life for.

**RonnieRoo22** · 09-23-2011, 10:41 AM

Sorry I was on about cheap flights - NOT cheap surgeons....totally different.

I did a lot of research on this company, requested a signed contract before sending the deposit. I spoke to 2 people that had FUE HT done there (not that you can ever be sure if they are real). Money was a feature as I am not Wayne Rooney with £30k.

But having been through the surgery, I cannot recommend to anyone. I would give you the grisly details about the surgeon stopping for fag breaks. Having a translator with you who lies to the answer to your questions - as the truth was too scarey but I don't want to put other of the procedure. If I could go back two weeks and not have it done - I WOULD.

mate, im so sorry youve had this terrible experience. what an utter betrayal. i havent had an HT but have been researching these forums, and your contribution is solid gold. surely you have some legal recourse.
ive heard so many bad things about the HT industry im wondering if its all really worth it.#i cant imagine what its been like for you.
i hope you make a full recovery and are at the very least, no worse off at the end of the recouperation process.
is there an international body, or breach of law that you can use to pursue them? DO ANY OF THESE CHARLATANS HAVE INSURANCE???
all the best to you

i agree with you general sentiments. you dont always get what you pay for however, lets be honest. that said, cost should not be the determining factor..save more, get a loan, sell something whatever..but dont go bargain basement..

So glad for your message

RRRRR thanks for your kind comment, it makes my suffering worth while if it stops others from going thru the same thing. Week number 3 update: My head (receiving area) is still completely numb. I can rest a hairbrush on it and can't feel it. It's like someone had inserted a metal plate between your skull and your skin. Told to use ice packs, but it doesn't feel swollen just numb.

Oh by the way forgot to tell you at the Jinemed Clinic after the surgery they told me to use an ice pack to reduce swelling, they gave me a rubber glove filled with ice cubes. Very swish website but need to spend money on ice-packs.

Would cost me more in legal fees to sue them, than I would get back. Best I can hope for is to stop it happening to others.
