Istanbul, Turkey • FUE • 1800 Grafts • 11mo post-op
Exceeded my expectations
Went to Este Medical Group after a friend recommended them. Dr. Dr. Alaaddin Karabacak, MD personally handled everything and was incredibly skilled. The consultation was thorough — they didn't try to oversell me on grafts I didn't need. Ended up getting 1800 grafts via FUE. The day of the procedure was long but manageable, they kept me comfortable with breaks and entertainment. 11 months later the results speak for themselves. Natural hairline, good density, minimal scarring in the donor area. The total came to $3,200 including everything — hard to beat that price.Really happy with my choice.
Pros
- + Natural hairline design
- + Follow-up included
Toronto, Canada • FUE • 3500 Grafts • 5mo post-op
Disappointing experience
I had high hopes for Sure Hair International but was left disappointed. The FUE procedure (3500 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. It ran me about $9,300 all things considered.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
- + Comfortable procedure
- + No visible scarring
Cons
- − Had to fly back for follow-up
- − Some numbness for weeks
- − Parking was difficult
