Istanbul, Turkey • 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
Madrid, Spain • Sapphire FUE • 3500 Grafts • 11mo post-op
Best decision I ever made
Where do I even start? I researched clinics for over a year before choosing Hospital Capilar and I'm so glad I did. The surgeon was skilled and efficient. Had 3500 grafts Sapphire FUE done and the results have been phenomenal. The facility was clean and modern, staff was friendly and attentive. Recovery was smoother than expected — I was back to work in about a week. 11 months in and my hair looks better than it did in my twenties. My confidence is through the roof. At $4,200, it was a fraction of what I was quoted back home.If you're on the fence, just do it.
Pros
- + Follow-up included
- + Hotel arranged
Cons
- − Waiting room was busy
- − Phone support hours limited
