IMpossible

Can you send some pics of your before and after with dr Bawli?

[monkaka]

If it wasn't true, would i have wasted my time to write the review? Maybe we are not talking about the same clinic. Here it is: https://www.besthairturkey.com

They mention everywhere Dr Cevik as the attending surgeon but I was operated by a much younger one - dont know his name, though. Maybe he is about my age - 28 or slightly older.

Confirm that we are on the same wavelength and I will send pictures to verify it for yourself

I think i misread. I went there but ended up not doing it. Cevik is the doctor and has an assistant. they advertise one a day.

Hi NW3,

I appreciate your comments but I can't say they're beyond reasonable since there are several that currently meet my standards, but I get what you're saying.

I'll clarify, however, as my standards are pretty simple. Be a part of the IAHRS. Do solid work, have a strong track record, don't bullshit patients, don't give unreasonable guarantees, make sure you communicate well, both before and after surgery with your patients, understand the details that make a result natural, don't use gimmicks, follow proper medical protocols, don't take shortcuts, tell patients the downsides not just the upsides to surgery, don't depend on illegal shit just to keep your doors open, and just treat people right. This is what I look for in doctors that want to work with me as they have to be doctors I'd legitimately consider for my own needs. I really don't think that is unreasonable.

Your question about the number of cases is fair, but keep in mind that the MINIMUM requirement for IAHRS membership is 500 cases (among other things) and it's taken this doctor five years to get there. Now, part of this has to do with, I imagine, taking two or three days to complete one patient case, and that makes sense in today's FUE world, but 500 cases just isn't a lot in the grand scheme of things. I'm not saying it's bad, but it isn't really expert level, in my opinion. I'm sure he's fine for straight forward cases, but it takes more experience to have an understanding that allows one to deal with surprises, or to take on trickier cases.

Do you know anything about Dr. Dr. Géza Sikos? Hes a Member of IAHRS and I'm considering going to his clinic.

where did you go in the end?

I have done my first HT in 2011 with Dr. Alp Aslan. I was completely bald and I had 6000 Grafts in 2 days and really nice results, from looking completely a baldie I went to look 10 years younger. It took me 3000 Euros. Went back recently to do my 2nd HT to fill the crown part and a bit the sides, 2500 grafts -> 1800 Euros. I'm 3-4 weeks post-op and the donor area is completely recovered and the hair is growing, waiting for the shedding to begin.
I really recommend this clinic, these guys have been performing 1000's of HT. I can verify this because 8 years ago when I was there it was full of patients from all over the world as much as it was now in 2019, when I did the 2nd HT. I'm not being paid by anyone and have no interest what so ever, just sharing my experience with this clinic. If you want proof you can contact me and I can send you pictures.

Hi guys. I've finally decided to go ahead and I'm starting to get quotes from clinics in Turkey. I'm being given so much information that I'm a bit confused. Regarding the technique, I'm being offered:

- DHI
- Sapphire
- Lateral Slit
- Perkutan

Based on my research I was clear I wanted DHI - what do you guys think?

I'm 33 and need around 2,000-2,500 grafts (basically temple areas and lower the hairline a little bit).

Your help is appreciated

Do you know anything about Dr. Dr. Géza Sikos? Hes a Member of IAHRS and I'm considering going to his clinic.

I know this is an old thread but i've been considering Dr Sikos but not been able too discover much information on him from actual patients. Just wondered if you had any useful information from your research? TIA

I had a FUT + a few hundred FUEs with Dr Path in Thailand, am delighted with the results almost 6 years on.

Like you I did a lot of thinking and research, and figured he was the best option for me - highly professional and also abput half the price of the US doctors. Also I was coming from China, which made the trip easy.

The clinic is (or was) small and quite domestic, a few stories into a tall building. It was tricky to get to. The staff were very welcoming.

By memory I waited a while in the lobby, but shortly I was seen by both Dr Path and his son, a doctor who trained at the same University as me (which gave me some confidence).

We discussed my options, finalised the quote, and I returned the next day.

They had me lay in a chair for the whole day, with a lunch brought in. I was under local anaesthesia for the donor area. I was also given some drug that made me conscious but very drowsy. They repeated Anesthesia when feeling began to return.

I recall being back in my hotel by about 8pm.

I wore a hat for about 2 months, had a number 1 for another 2 months (with some funny looks due to my scar), then let my hair grow. And it did, and it was beautiful.

Hi Joe, I am curious to know would a hair transplant doctor meet your standards if they were to perform surgery on a DUPA patient who isn't on finasteride or dutasteride?

As I was browsing through all the positive comments on BHT Clinic, I was persuaded that this is the right place for me. That wasn't the case and hence my reflection aims to set the record straight for all those still fighting to accept the new reality of their very own appearance.
My experience with BHT Clinic was overly terrible and I couldn't be more disappointed, to put it mildly! In terms of my personal comfort as a patient, the very same experience was as poor as it gets. I was forced to invest about 2h in looking for the driver who was supposed to be holding an orange poster with my name on it. Not only it wasn't orange but it was rather attached to a metal fence at the level of people’s feet where can’t be possibly seen. It was after midnight and my behavior apparently incited the police to approach me with a number of questions on suspicion for planning an outrage of some kind. I attempted to contact Emre but the late hours perhaps constitute a reasonable cause for not answering. Early on the next day, I was instructed to take the taxi that was allegedly waiting for me in front of the hotel at right about noon time. it soon became as clear as day that the driver didn't know where to drive to. As he didn't happen to have any command on English language whatsoever, he dialed a friend of his and unsolicitedly let me handle the talking. None of us, the driver and I, knew the final destination that we were supposed to go to. Luckily, there was a guy ahead waving at us. The examination of my hair took about 5 minutes to complete. No technique was involved to estimate the number of grafts I have in my donor area or the density that they should stick to when implanting back the grafts to my recipient area. Even more shocking was that my guide, the only other English speaker, wasn't aware of the arrangement made with Emre in terms of the graft number to be implanted or the price negotiated. The same person spent about 20 minutes convincing me to pay an additional fee for PRP treatment. I had to turn him down several times before he actually accepted my stand on the matter. I felt suppressed to a great extent which further led to my embarrassment and uneasiness because I wasn't able to afford it. Two people had been taking turns to work on me. I would classify their attitude as highly unprofessional and disrespectful as they obviously perceived laughing and talking loudly at my ears for most of the time to be appropriate demeanor. On the top of all, I was supposed to get 10 EUR back in Turkish lira later on but this didn't happen. I swallowed all of it hoping that eventually the bright sight will appear, i.e. the result will be satisfactory. Moreover, I wasn't given the “special cap” so I had to remind my guide of it twice. Imagine the additional discomfort that I was about to experience if I had to travel back home with all eyes staring at me. Since a year passed away, I can affirmatively state that the result is awful and the regrowth rate is next to nothing. Roughly 4000 grafts went down the drain. They did offer me a revision surgery but I rather insisted on being refunded as I didn't gain what I paid for. On the stipulation that this was my second surgery overall, I have not enough grafts left to address my hair loss problem in its entirety. Hence, a revision surgery that may prove to be as unsuccessful as the first one, will not stand as relevant or make it up for the wasted grafts and overall treatment I had to endure. I will never be able to fix my hair problem and to my request they reacted by ignoring me altogether.
By and large, everything felt organized at the last instant possible and to all those wishing to not go through the same path - pass up BHT Clinic and keep doing your research!

Unfortunately I had a very similar experience in 2018. It's a shame there isn't much visibility on this forum, perhaps because of the acronym BHT...

The reviews they show on their site do not match up with other sites. They embed https://www.reviews.io/ reviews which look very different to https://www.trustpilot.com/.
