    Default Surgeon/Clinic Recommendations

    So apologies if this has been seen in other well known forums but not having much luck so hoping you guys can offer some advice.

    So, thought I’d finally say hello as have been looking around the forums a while now and recently joined.

    I’ve been suffering with hair loss for probably 10 years or so now and have been looking into treatments for the last two years. I’m probably Norwood 3 with some thinning in the crown also.

    I’ve used minoxidil for several months but suffered really badly with headaches so decided to stop although I was responding quite well to it.

    I was always against the idea of finasteride due to side effects, but two months ago starting taking daily so hoping I respond well to this to with no side effects.

    In that same period I’ve been researching hair transplants and am now at a point when I need to choose a suitable surgeon.

    I’ve read all the info of how important selecting a reputable surgeon is, but budget is important. I can almost rule out Feriduni, Lupanzula and Bis-sanga all who have quoted in excess of 8k. I’ve had consultations in the UK, which have not been the best experiences which encouraged me to look abroad. So having all but ruled out the above I’m debating over the following:

    Dr Acar – awaiting quote, package prices listed on site. Have seen a few reviews and results look good too.

    Dr Demirsoy – lots of positive reviews on here and results look impressive. Recommended 3000-3500 grafts at 1.25 euro . graft

    Hair of Istanbul – great results on Instagram and have spoken to Jeremy McConnell who said good things and looks to have had a great hair and beard transplant. Quoted £3100 maximum grafts (this puts me off slightly)

    Dr Sikos (Budapest) – initial discussions good, has good results on website but can’t find many reviews. Listed is IAHRS and very competitive pricing, have formal consultation on Friday

    I have a friend heading out to Istanbul in October and his seeing Dr Cinik and has been quoted 2090 for 3900 grafts. Mixed reviews, I’ve read Dr Cinik used to work at Cosmedica too who have a good reputation.

    In addition to this I have recently been in touch with Dr Karadeniz who quoted £2300 for a 'session' of between 4000-5000 hairs as opposed to grafts? A little further research into the Dr shows that he did have some endorsement from @JoeTillman and was also on the IAHRS members list but is no more. Anyone had any experience of Dr Karadeniz?

    Have also emailed Dr Yaman but yet to receive a response!

    Sorry for the essay

    Thanks in advance

    Any luck Daleyw84? I'm planning on travelling to Istanbul in the coming weeks for HT, but I've yet to decide on clinic! I'm considering Karadeniz (AEK).

    I'm still deciding, I've recently seen a few past less than satisfactory results with Dr Yaman but I am sure every surgeon has such cases. I too have spoken with Dr Karadeniz since my original post, the rep Omer, has been helpful but I'm not sure how much involvement the Dr has in some of the "packages" they offer. Dr Demirsoy is another on my list but is slightly out of my reach in terms of price. I've also looked at Dr Sikos in Budapest but waiting list is early next year.

    Where are you traveling from and when were you thinking of having procedure done?

    Travelling from Dublin. Thinking on Dr. Karadeniz in AEK Clinic later in October. I gather he does all the incisions himself for €3k (premium package).

    What other Drs have you considered? I have a friend visiting Istanbul this month and he's seeing Dr Cinik but I've not considered him.

    Considered Erdogan and Doganay, but not very seriously.
    Karadeniz talks a good game in his videos, but if I could just see one or two genuine positive patient reports, then I'd push the button and head over straight away.
    Researching is such a bloody nightmare innit?!

    Hi,
    10 years for hair loss is a long time. Probably you need a hair transplant operation. Minoxidil or Finasteride cannot provide a permanent solution. However, for a clear comment, can you send your donor and bald areas to us? Our medical team will convey your photos to Dr. Ekrem Keskin and he will finalize your medical report. We will wait for your messages.

    Thanks for posting this out! One of my clients from EMM Bathroom Renovations Brisbane is looking for a doctor since they are visiting those places. I'll have them check this out.
