Thailand vs Turkey Hair Transplant — Cost & Quality

I had a hair transplant at Mediprima Istanbul in May 2024. This was the worst decision of my life. Please learn from my mistake. First, do not be fooled by Rabia Basay’s polished English and apparent professionalism. She creates the illusion that they run their own clinic, using fancy professional titles to sound legitimate, medical jargon to sound like an expert, and highlighting a seemingly pa

I’m sharing my experience to warn anyone considering Ariana Health Clinic in Istanbul for hair transplant or “Hollywood Smile” dental work. I went there thinking I was getting professional care. Instead, I ended up with: A botched hair transplant that left visible scarring and poor graft growth A disastrous Hollywood Smile that caused bite misalignment, an overjet, and multiple crowns falling

Guys please be careful when choosing this doctor Resul Yaman at Yaman Clinic in Istanbul. His technicians were very inexperienced and unqualified who left my donor area destroyed and over harvested with bunch of ugly duckling spots. Choose the right surgeon. Don’t believe the advertisement. This is a horrible result and I regret going to this doctor 2 times and got my head destroyed!!!

Hello everybody, I wanna share my peregrination looking for a hair transplant clinic. And possibly get some advice from you all. Excuse bad English. It starts in my home country with online research, after looking at many videos on YouTube and contacting a few, a clinic kept coming up as a good choice: Cosmedica. The facilities looked very modern and new on videos; i see famous people in them a

I've been balding for about 15 years now and - now that things are getting affordable - I'm seriously considering a transplant I was thinking of going to Turkey but in my just day or so of browsing this sub I'm noticing thicker/better results from Thailand transplants Are Turkey transplants a bit of a lottery versus the more expensive ones in Bangkok? My barber recommended Dr Cinik in Turkey a

Hey Guys, Been following this page for a while and seen loads of your posts so thought I'd do the same to help anyone I can. I went for my initial operation October 2022 and completed 5k grafts - predominantly from my hairline till the middle area, and then went back for a second operation in November 2023 to do my crown. I done a tonne of research and came up with a shortlist of clinics in Ista

Hey all, I’m **25M** researching hair transplants and looking for **real patient opinions** on the best surgeons. **Ideally I’d like to stay in the UK**, but I’m also considering Turkey/Thailand if the quality is clearly better/value makes sense. # UK (preferred) * **Dr Edward Maitland Ball** (although he **won’t see anyone until they are 27**) * **Dr Ted Miln** * I've heard good things about Wi

Hey yall, I’m looking to see if anyone has great experience with hair transplants in Mexico, Colombia, South America, etc etc. I wanna know if there’s just as good clinics on this side of the Earth with th same bang for buck, without having to cross the Atlantic coming from Florida.

Travelling to Thailand from Aus will cost $500 for a return flight and Turkey will cost $1500 for a return flight. What should I do?

Hi, I am male, 25 with a (in my opinion) slightly receding hairline. When I have a buzz cut it looks like its a lot receded already. I wanna get a hair transplant around the next 1-3 years. Until now, I sent pictures to 3 doctors (1 from Germany, 2 from turkey) and got their opinion. The one from germany said exactly what my thoughts are: -hairline isnt that bad, the corners should be fixed,

Hey guys, very happy to have found this Reddit! I'm considering doing hair grafts, I'm going to Asia for winter, I'm from Canada. So I'm debating to do a multi-city flight, stop in Turkey to do the operation and then carry on to Thailand for a few months or just go to Thailand directly and do the operation there. Are the prices really that much better in Turkey that it would be worth it to stop th

Hi everyone, Long story short , i went to a party without my hat and got made fun of , playfully, about going bald. So it's either shave it or try to save it and since my wife does not like me being bald (I look scary she said) I am going to try to save it. I did try to search through this sub Reddit for answers before asking them, but I either couldn't find them or didn't like them :) 1. Thaila

Hi Guys, 38M here. I've been thinking about a hair transplant for a couple of years already and I think I'm ready to pull the trigger. From what I read and saw on many videos showing similar cases to mine, I estimate I need around 4500 grafts. Norwood between 5-6. Over the last couple of years my hair loss slowed down significantly, as I rarely see hair falling out when I wash them or on my pil

Thinking about taking the plunge for a HT. Is there a reason people always choose Turkey? I am frequently in Thailand (I am not Thai) and I see a lot of HT clinics here. Curious if anyone has tried one in Thailand, and what it was like. Finasteride is also available OTC here, for what it’s worth, not sure about in Turkey

Wondering where you guys thought would be the best place to get a HT? Not too concerned about budget, I’m after the best results. I think I’m about a NW 2.5. P. S I’m from Australia and I would prefer to go to Thailand as I’ve lived there before and my father currently lives there but I’m willing to travel further for a better result. Thanks :)

Hi anyone with successful hair implants in Turkey or Bangkok? Desperately looking for one that don’t blow my budget. Around 6k usd. Appreciate all your help.

After waiting almost 2 years, I finally met Dr. Carlos Wesley. I honestly feel like they forgot about me, but that's just my intuition which could be wrong. I feel like Dr Wesleys work is incredible, he's local to me, but it's very costly. $22k for 2800 grafts in the front of my head. I never really considered Turkey, Thailand, Mexico, or any other place for that matter because I wanted someone

Hey everyone, I’m heading to Asia soon for vacation and planning to stop over in Turkey for a few days on the way. I’ve been considering getting a hair transplant while I’m there since I’ve heard great things about Turkish clinics. I have a few questions and would really appreciate any insights: • Is it possible to get the transplant done in a single day if I’m only staying for a short time? •

# The History of Hair Transplants in Turkey: How Istanbul Became the Global Capital of Hair Restoration Hair loss affects roughly **85% of men** and **40% of women** at some point in their lives, according to the [American Hair Loss Association](https://www.americanhairloss.org/men_hair_loss/introduction.html).

I had thinning hair and underwent thorough evaluation at Long Hair Center Istanbul. I was advised by the doctor (Dr. Ahmet Yildirim) to have two sessions, as detailed in the report shared with me by the counselor, to cover my balding spots (on the top of my head and hairline ). I trusted them , and after undergoing two sessions over the span of two years and subsequently healing from my injury, I

For the millions considering a surgical solution, one destination has come to dominate the conversation: **Turkey**. The numbers are extraordinary.

Disclaimer: I KNOW the surgeon themself is the most important factor, not the country. Ever country is gonna have a small handful of great surgeons and a ton of bad ones. But my understanding has always been that US surgeons are more skilled, more conservative, and do multiple smaller procedures over a patients lifetime to keep up with existing hair loss. While Turkish surgeons (as well as in ot

I’m looking for some advice from people with experience or knowledge about hair transplants. I’m 35 years old, currently on TRT, and I’ve had SMP done on my scalp. I usually keep my head shaved and the SMP helps create a decent shaved look, but I still have a lot of diffuse thinning in the frontal and mid-scalp areas. The thing is that I actually still have many miniaturized hairs/follicles in t

So it's being said that Turkey might be next in line for military action from the US & Israel. Without getting too political, where would you go for a hair transplant, if Turkey does indeed turn out to be next? For anyone planning a hair transplant trip, what/where are your backup options, Israel, England, Mexico, South America?
