dr alp aslan este istanbul

[JoeTillman]

I know Dr. Nakatsui personally and I think he's a really good hair transplant surgeon. If you don't mind someone that doesn't specialize in hair restoration only then he's a solid choice, especially if you live relatively nearby.

I place emphasis on the IAHRS compared to the ISHRS because of what I said earlier. The ISHRS is not a policing organization. They do not accept membership based on skill but rather whether or not one is a hair transplant doctor. One need only pass a basic exam and you're in. It is essentially a learning and sharing organization where memebers learna and teach each other through various workshops and of course the annual meeting held in different parts of the world. This year it is in Chicago. With the IAHRS you actually have to demonstrate quality, competence, solid patient care and of course have few complaints of your work from patients. There are 1200 members of the ISHRS, there are about 68 members of the IAHRS.

Regarding Turkey, I know the market and I work with a doctor in Istanbul that is a member of the IAHRS and he does the entire procedure himself. The majority of the Turkish hair transplant market is a circus. "Agents" working on up to 30% commission rates do anything and evertything to get your butt in the chair of the doctor they are repping for that month (before they move on to another doctor) and with up to 20 patinets being worked on in one day, in one clinic, by a small army of technicians only a doctor to draw the hairline, it is a money making machine and is what I call "conveyor belt" hair transplantation. I actually went undercover to one of these clinics as a patient visiting for consultation back in June and it was a scary experience.

The key to finding a clinic in any country comes down to one component. Consistency. I don't care if it is a technician only clinic that does 20 patients a day or a doctor only clinic that performs one procedure a day. If results are consistently great, day in and day out, then that is what matters but so far I've not seen anything remotely resembling consistency in the least with these types of clinics which is why I strongly recommended staying away from such places and stick with IAHRS clinics only.

Im now 2 months out from the procedure. It was the worst experience of my life. It did not get better. I saw a usa specialist and he confirmed that alp aslan is horrible. Really bad overharvesting of donor.

[american guy]

Please please please do NOT GO to Alp Aslan. I am trying to save you

[rahala808]

Hi american guy,
Sorry to hear about your experience. I had the similar issue with the same doctor. It was brutal and my donor area is ruined. Can you contact me to see what solutions your US doctor suggested?

[rahala808]

My experience with Alp Aslan is the worst experience in my life. It is a nightmare. I had my HT 6 weeks ago. I cannot describe how I feel. it is a complete mess. 6 weeks of agony. I knew it from the day of the operation. Alp Aslan lied to me about everything. He lies with no shame. He told me over the phone that he uses manual extraction and when I said I heard a sound behind my ear, he said he uses micro motor. When I asked him about my donor capacity he said I have a good donor area and he could extract 10000 grafts. He said he will do the whole surgery himself and he swore by God that he will do it all. He said that he does not have any surgeries on that day because it was booked for me and I did not see him until the last step which was the implantation. His consultation was about 3 minutes and I thought we will continue the consultation in the clinic as he said to me we will meet in the clinic but I did not see him and he did not even make the incisions. He said I will need 4000 to 4500 and he ended up taking 4700 grafts. He called his assistants doctors with no shame and his representative told me later that this “doctor” that Aslan claimed he was the one he did the extraction is just an assistant and when I told Aslan about that , he said but 'yes he is not a doctor but you had the best team with you'. He just lies with no shame at all. OMG, IT IS A JOKE that he is still practicing. ASLAN HAS NO MEDICAL ETHICS AT ALL. They sedate you and ruin your head and your life. I was having tachycardia during the operation and I was drowsy from the sedation and I tried to call any one for help but they do not speak English and they were laughing and continued their work. The interpreters left after the hair cut and I did not see them till the next day. It was the worst experience in my life. I felt like being stuttered while being extremely tired and drowsy. I cannot believe it. Please Do not believe Aslan; he does not care about you. He just wants your money. I would rather be completely bald on the top but look like normal bald people. I do not know what to do. I consulted a hair transplant surgeon who told me that 'they butchered you" and the donor area is over harvested. I asked Aslan’s representative to send me pictures of the donor area for some patients after the operation and he told me they do not have photos for the donor area for their patients because the front part is the sign of the success of the operation. OMG, I remembered that they put a bandage with antibiotic cream on the donor area after the operation and they did not take photos. . I have chosen him because he is a HT patient himself and everything seems professional till the reception. Everything there looks organized and clean in the clinic reception only but inside the clinic room, there is just a chair with a lamp. I am looking for body hair transplant or scalp micro pigmentation from the 2nd week of surgery because of the look of the donor area(exactly like American guy described), raw red meat. The experience that I had with these people and the lies I heard from "a medical doctor" and his staff all are increasing my worries day after day when I see no improvement in the donor area and when I saw american guy comment, my doubts confirmed and my worries increased. I am now in a continues nightmare. My life completely stopped. I am checking thousands of pictures of the donor area and nothing like mine, uneven on both sides, two empty spaces, very fine scanty hair which started to appear after 2 weeks, asymmetric and looks like a child was drawing on a piece of paper. If I was with a trustworthy doctor or an ethical doctor, I would not care even with the same state as I will have some hope that I will improve one day or have a clear honest report of my situation but every single thing is a lie. You do not know what happened, who did what, how many grafts taken, you do not know anything with these people. With the experience and lies, I feel ashamed and angry. I If I knew that will happen to me, I would pay thousands to avoid going there but unfortunately clock does not go back. SO, I TOTALLY AGREE WITH AMERICAN GUY AND I BELIEVE THAT HE IS GENUINELY TRYING TO SAVE YOU. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE SAVE YOUR LIFE AND DO NOT GO TO ALP ASLAN.

alp aslan review

Everything you said is true the guy is a liar and has no shame. They give you hard knock out drugs so you cant move and he has his horrible technicians do the work even tho he promised you he would do the work. He is the worst. He should be in jail.

AmericanGuy and Rahala808,

I hate reading about your respective experiences in Turkey. I know it is roll of the dice with these unknown clinics that have cheap prices and slick websites. I've been to Turkey twice and the second time there I went into one of these mill clinics "undercover" to see how they herd patients through. I walked out scared for the nearly one dozen patients I saw in the clinic. Is it possible for either of you to share photos of your donor? It would help countless others and it may help you to get some valuable input from the community.

[american guy]

One of Alp Aslan's victims

Thanks Joe and american guy. I paid 3500$ to Alp Aslan to ruin my head. He asked to pay half in cash and half in credit.There are good and trustworthy doctors in Turkey with less than his price. These people are making millions from ruining people lives and they are able to pay the media to do more advertising. He was on the Turkish TV couple of days ago. I think IAHRS should look at this and investigate it. I sent a complaint to ministry of health and Turkish medical association . By Turkish law, it is not allowed to be operated by someone who is not a doctor. I do not know how to contact IAHRS. I just can not believe what happened. How could someone be horrible and careless like that. Alp Aslan has a gang not a team and they treat people like animals. They all should be in jail. I am now7 weeks post op and no improvement. I avoid looking in the mirror or taking photos not to feel down.I lost my job. 7 weeks in agony, in a shock, waking up every night with a night mare.cursing myself every minute to trust that doctor orof having this procedure.

[rahala808]

Hi American guy. how are you?

[american guy]

Rahala please email me at elaidback123 at yahoo dot com. My experience is about the same as yours. I too would like to try to stop this from happening to other people. I also lost my job. It was a very good job I have been seeing doctors for both my depression and for repairs. I had hair and just needed a touch up but got my life ruined. I think its important to not let this ruin us and to win against this man.

alp aslan

I have emails where it says in writing that alp aslan would perform the operation. He did not perform the operation. Horrible man.

[rahala808]

Hi, Do you mean emails in writing from Alp Aslan clinic stating that he will do the operation himself? The guy is a compulsive liar. He swore by god in the holy month Ramadan that he will do the operation himself and he has no other surgeries on that day because it was booked for me and I did not see him till the last step what do you expect from this kind of behavior. A medical doctor doing that after the oath. He must stop ruining people lives for few dollars.
I had hair as well and now the donor area looks disfigured. How is your donor area looking after 2 months, is it covered even with thin hair or still bald. Mine still bald and thin after 7 weeks.

[rahala808]

I emailed you.
