Hello everyone,
I just want to warn people about the bad experience I had with Hakan Doganay so you can all avoid going to his clinic.
I previously had a well performed fue surgery with Dr Feriduni, which left minimal scarring. However I decided to get a second proceedure with Hakan Doganay who was getting really great feedback on the forums and was recommended on another well known site - known for their high standard of surgeons. So I booked a procedure for only 800 grafts with Hakan Doganay.
I flew to their clinic in Antalya and immediatly there were red flags - they previously told me they only performed 1/2 proceedures a day, but when I asked their sales co-ordinator he told me they did at least 4/5. The second red flag was this tiny purple mirror they asked me to draw the hairline on. It was comical because i could hardly hold it and draw the hairline. I wish I´d just left at that moment.
Anyway I got 800 grafts, and they grew fine - as expected. Anyway it wasn't until 8 years later that I decided to shave my hair down and realised how badly they had scarred me. And it was not just the donor hair but also the reciprient area. When I researched further I saw that there were loads of bad reviews from 2015/2016, around the time I went. Hakan Doganay was quickly removed from that hair restoration forum.
Why could this of happened? Poor quality surgery skills, or needles that were too big, or rushed. I don´t know, but it has left me scarred in my donor hair and everytime i cut my hair short I can see these scars which makes me very sad. And i get reminded of this everytime I got to the barbers. And it really hurt my donor hair.
My recommendation is please research the surgeon before going. If it is too cheap, it is likely the techs who are performing the operation and not a doctor.
What is interesting about my photo is you can see the difference between a great surgeon like feriduni and his extraction zones, verses someone like Hakan Doganay,
