Dr. Cinik - istanbul - 2700 fue

I had 2700 grafts by FUE performed at Dr. CINIK clinic about 16 months ago. The result is terrible.

Final Results:

1) Hair line is too low and in a straight line with no variation creating a very unnatural appearance.
2) Implanted hair sticks straight up at a 90 degree angle to the scalp due to poor incision and implantation technique, which makes the final result look really strange. To cover this up I have to either completely shave my hair off or grow a fringe to ensure the hairline is not visible.
3) Folliculitis and pain has developed in the hairline area due to the implants being placed in at an irregular (and probably too deep) angle.
4) Many of the grafts on the hairline are not single grafts but multiple giving an unnatural appearance.
5) My donor area is scarred and the hair there cannot be cut too short as it looks like I have large bald patches when it is. I suspect this is as a result of poor extraction and removing significant number of grafts with one "pull" as quickly as possible.

A number of hairdressers and even friends have commented on the poor results, including friends which noticed that I'd had a hair transplant a year afterwards without me telling them. Completely regret the experience and total waste of money, not to mention damaging my image.


I saw Dr Cinik for around 3 minutes prior to the surgery taking place. I wish I'd walked out at that point! He drew the hairline and then I was sent straight into the surgery room where two technicians performed the transplant. Dr Cinik entered the surgical area twice during the procedure for a total of about 10 secnds just to say hello to the two technicians, and then left. At no point did he inspect the progress or the results.

I raised my concerns with the clinic every month for around 6 months but on every occasion was told everything was fine and I had nothing to worry about. Their tactic over the last couple of months however has been to completely ignore me. When I asked about 6 months ago to meet Dr. CINIK to show him the relts and discuss the concerns I was told that he was far too busy for such things. The clinic had no interest in discussing the results with me. So much for the 10 year "guarantee".

I'm now looking for a repair surgeon. It'll cost a lot but I just want to out the mess that Dr. CINIK clinic did.
