Istanbul, Turkey • FUT • 3200 Grafts • 5mo post-op
Very good but not perfect
I chose Hermest Hair Transplant Clinic after extensive research and I'm mostly very satisfied. Dr. Dr. Ahmet Murat personally handled everything and was incredibly skilled. FUT with 3200 grafts. The procedure itself went smoothly and the staff was great. At 5 months post-op, I'd say I'm at about 85% of what I hoped for. The hairline is excellent but the crown could use a bit more density. The clinic has been responsive to my follow-up questions. I'd give them a strong recommendation with realistic expectations — no transplant is going to give you the hair you had at 18.
Pros
- + Natural hairline design
- + Clean facility
- + Airport transfer included
Bryn Mawr, USA • FUE • 3200 Grafts • 4mo post-op
Average experience overall
I'll be honest — The Lumen Center was neither terrible nor amazing. Dr. Andrew Kwak and the team were fantastic. The procedure itself (3200 grafts, FUE) was professional. But I felt a bit rushed during consultation and the recovery instructions could have been clearer. 4 months in, growth is coming along but slowly. Some areas seem thinner than expected. 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
- + Professional staff
- + Fast recovery
- + Realistic expectations set
Cons
- − Consultation felt rushed
