I had 2700 FUE done at Dr Cinik, Istanbul and had terrible results.
Hair line is too low and in a straight line with no variation, iplanted hair sticks straight up at a 90 degree angle to the scalp due to poor incision and implantation technique, which makes the final result look really strange. To cover this up I have to either completely shave my hair off or grow a fringe to ensure the hairline is not visible. Folliculitis and pain has developed in the hairline area due to the implants being placed in at an irregular (and probably too deep) angle. Many of the grafts on the hairline are not single grafts but multiple giving an unnatural appearance.My donor area is scarred and the hair there cannot be cut too short as it looks like I have large bald patches when it is. I suspect this is as a result of poor extraction and removing significant number of grafts with one "pull" as quickly as possible.
Everyone I come across looks at my hairline strangely. I raised my concerns with the clinic every month for around 6 months but on every occasion was told everything was fine and I had nothing to worry about. Their tactic over the last couple of months however has been to completely ignore me. When I asked about 6 months ago to meet Dr. CINIK to show him the results and discuss the concerns I was told that he was far too busy for such things. The clinic had no interest in discussing the results with me. So much for the 10 year "guarantee".
I urge everyone to do thorough research; whilst the higher end doctors can charge quite a bit more, if you go for a cheaper procedure it may well mean you have to pay again for it to be repaired somewhere else as well as having to go through a terrible experience, costing you time, money and effort in the long run. There are some good clinics out there but you must do your research and go for the higher end if you are to achieve something which look natural.
