Deciding between Koray Erdogan and Hakan Doganay.

[Vincent777]

Hi all,

So I decided to do a FUE HT in May. At first after careful consideration and consultation with a friend who was a patient of Dr. Feriduni I opted for Dr. Koray Erdogan and he proposed 2100 grafts to fix my hairline and lower it an inch in the frontal rea. But after I've told him that I want to thicken my center where my parting is at the expense of the grafts of my hairline I was told I need additional 400 grafts. So the price went up another 1000 Eur. With the Medical package, PRP, acommodation and transfer expenses the price is 7040 Eur which is really expensive for me but it could save money over the summer and do it in October.

So I've contacted Dr. Hakan Doganay and I was quoted between 1500-2000. I am thinking of going to Dr. Doganay since I will pay only 4000 eur and I could use the rest of the money for other things in life. I know Erdogan is a high graft dense packer and that's one of the reasons why his hairlines look so amazing but from the work I've seen so far on Dr. Doganay I am sure that he could do similar results if he was doing such dense packing as well.

If it wasn't for the price I would go to Dr. Erdogan but in the end I don't think, especially for my case. that there is much of a difference really.

I am getting imaptient to wait until September, I want my hair for the summer. But then again maybe it's better to squeeze in extra buck for extra results.

Help please? Any advice would be helpful. Also I would be more than grateful if any former patient of both doctors would like to share their experience.

Cheers!

Save more money.

Two points:

1.) Go to whom you want based on your gut, not your wallet.
2.) You won't have your hair for the summer even if you had your procedure yesterday. If you have it today you'll have your hair by Fall, mid October at the very earliest but full result not till about Xmas. If you mean summer of 2016, then yes, you will have it by then if you have your procedure this September.

I must say, they are equally good in my opinion. Their price is "kind of" determined by who uses the Internet and forums better..

Bear in mind that 2-3 years ago, their prices were cheaper and one of them used the Internet better and increased the price quote more.

I agree with Joe

I think for all of us who are traveling, yes, it's mainly the price reduction.
I went with Dr. Doganay last September, paid USD$5,000 for all including travel tickets and 1500 grafts.

I remember searching for the FUE Drs here in USA and they charged USD$10 graft so just for the HT I would had ended paying $15,000.

Of course We'all are willing to spend our good money, but what Dr. charges here in USA is just for the rich ad famous.

Hey, so how did the procedure go with Dr. Doganay?

[Vincent777]

Dr. Doganay does graft extraction and implant from what I've heard.

I am suprised Dr Ozgur does not have more results posted online. His results are outstanding. I had the opportunity to meet with a client of his in person last year, the work was outstanding, over 5k beard to scalp, high yield pristine donor. I believe he uses a small manual hand punch
combined with the stick and place technique. Well worth a consult and would be good to see more of their work online

Those are the only two I have consistently seen amazing results from so guess you can't go wrong. No matter the cost those are the only two I would trust with HT, the only other being Dr. Diep who has a you tube channel that will blow your mind. Anyways good luck I think Erdogan might be my choice between those two but I would go to Dr. Diep on CA before either of them.

What are your thoughts on Dr John Diep? I have mixed heritage so need a Doc that can handle curly hair. He has some great videos on youtube with great looking results
