Dr. Arslan Musbeh from Hairmedico in Istanbul: Any thoughts/feedback from 2021/2022?

[HairMe]

Hi All,

First post on the forum. I've been looking into hair transplants in Turkey and after much research (going down the rabbit hole, that is) have narrowed it down to Dr. Arslan Musbeh from Hairmedico in Istanbul. His experience, work/results (natural hairlines/no over harvesting) and credentials seem legit + sees 1-2 patients a day -- which is ideal. With his VIP package, he does all the extractions and incisions, supervises his trained assistants during implantation.

TL;DR: Basically, wanted to see if anyone had recently had their hair transplant at his clinic (in 2021 or even 2022) or had any thoughts/experience/feedback on him and Hairmedico overall.

Below are my shortlisted surgeons who take on 1 (max 2) patient(s) per day:

• Dr. Ekrem Civas from Civas Hair Transplant in Ankara
• Dr. Karadeniz from AEK in Istanbul
• Dr. Gur from FUE Capilar/Gur Hair Transplant
• Dr. Ilker Apaydin from Istanbul

Would you recommend any of them over Dr. Arslan? If so, why?

Thanks in advance!

What’s your hair loss situation? Have you been quoted any graft numbers?

What’s your hair loss situation? Have you been quoted any graft numbers?

Based on consultations: Between Norwood 5 and 6, recommending 2 sessions with graft numbers ranging from 2500-4500 (average 3000-3500 grafts) for the 1st session (working on hairline to mid scalp) and roughly 1500-2500 for the 2nd session (working mainly on crown and increasing density to mid scalp).

What’s your donor situation? You’re a high Norwood meaning your surgery needs to plan for potential future loss. Are you on any hair loss prevention meds?

Donor

What’s your donor situation? You’re a high Norwood meaning your surgery needs to plan for potential future loss. Are you on any hair loss prevention meds?

Donor area is moderate to weak based on various consultations. I would say I have thin caliber hair. I just started 1mg finasteride since Jan 1st, 2022, plan to continue it post-op.

Any tips or recommendations on the surgeons listed above? Thanks in advance!
