FUE • 2500 Grafts • 6mo post-op
Great results, minor hiccups
Overall very pleased with my FUE at Cosmedica Dr. Levent Acar. Dr. Dr. Levent Acar personally handled everything and was incredibly skilled. Got 2500 grafts and the results at 6 months are looking really good. The hairline design is natural and the density is building nicely. My only complaints are minor — communication via email was sometimes slow. But honestly, these are small things compared to the outcome. Cost me $4,100 which I thought was very fair for the quality.Would I do it again? Absolutely. Would I recommend Cosmedica Dr. Levent Acar? Yes, with the caveat that make sure to follow the aftercare instructions exactly.
Pros
- + Detailed consultation
- + Realistic expectations set
FUE • 1800 Grafts • 5mo post-op
Disappointing experience
I had high hopes for Cosmedica Dr. Levent Acar but was left disappointed. The lead surgeon was very experienced and took time to explain each step. The FUE procedure (1800 grafts) itself was okay, but the consultation felt rushed and I don't think the hairline design was optimal. At 5 months post-op, results are below what was promised. Growth has been patchy in some areas. The clinic has been somewhat responsive to my concerns but I feel like I need a revision. Would not recommend without doing extensive research first.
Pros
- + Realistic expectations set
- + No visible scarring
- + Natural hairline design
Cons
- − Aftercare instructions could be clearer
- − Some numbness for weeks
- − Phone support hours limited
FUE • 3200 Grafts • 6mo post-op
Average experience overall
I'll be honest — Cosmedica Dr. Levent Acar was neither terrible nor amazing. Dr. Dr. Levent Acar personally handled everything and was incredibly skilled. The procedure itself (3200 grafts, FUE) was professional. But I felt a bit rushed during consultation and the recovery instructions could have been clearer. 6 months in, growth is coming along but slowly. Some areas seem thinner than expected. Paid $4,300 for the procedure.I'm still hopeful the final result will be good since I know full results take 12-18 months. Would rate higher if communication was better.
Pros
- + Detailed consultation
- + Painless procedure
Cons
- − Shedding phase was stressful
- − Some numbness for weeks
