      @@jaimerodriguez1550You see the same affordable prices in the EU. The problem in the US is that there's not a higher power (i.e. the government) negotiating the prices down. That's why big pharma in the US can raise the prices however they see fit forming oligopolies (they only call it a price cartel after they've been sentenced by a court, but not with the corrupt US justice system). Just look at insulin: 90 % of all insulin comes from 3 companies (Eli Lilly, Sanofi, and Novo Nordisk) and insulin prices have gone up 10 times from 96 to 2016, even though the patents have long expired. Additionally, the entire health care industry is run by the insurance companies, which is why something can cost 6000 USD to someone without insurance and 100 USD to someone with one. The entire system is corrupted through and through.

He was very demoralized at the shoddy results and scarring. The technology and level of experience pales in comparison to the cosmetic industry in Turkey especially when it comes to hair transplantation.

      @@Youve_GotABeard Thank you sir. I will first see what some local dr in America could do--my wild guess is I wouldn't need but 1000-2000 transplants to cover the two thinning sides of my forehead; the forehead does have a thick central strip and the sides are really really thick hair, which I use to comb-over. I can live with the greatly thinned out crowd. Thanks again.

      @@meengla just to clarify… what you mean when you speak of how many transplants is “grafts”. For instance, I had 3,900 grafts the first transplant and around 3,000 the second one. I really really recommend going to Istanbul for the transplant. I have little faith in American hair doctors. They always seem to want to do FUT technique - but that sucks. They will tell you it is recommended for some individuals on a case by case basis over the FUE method. If you have a strong donor area (lots of density on the sides and back of the head), you should definitely get FUE - NOT FUT (which leaves scarring). The precision extraction of the hair follicles used in the FUE method is virtually a non issue when it comes to scarring. I can’t recommend Istanbul hair clinics enough. Don’t be afraid or reluctant because it is far away or a foreign country. Do your research and choose one. They are all very skilled, high quality and super professional. If you want to know the clinic I went to I can also share that. Best luck 🍀

    I am from Turkey, I live in Turkey, I have always criticized our government that turned the country into a religious dictatorship, I also acknowledge that we have a lot of problems in a lot of places. Having said all of that, No American doctor should criticize the health care in my country. I know, our health care may also have problems, but it cannot possibly be as nearly bad as what you have in the US. You people have to consider ''Should I risk dying or should I call an ambulance?'', that's something happens only in the US. My advice to people who consider coming here for health related issues, do your due diligence and get as much information about the doctor as you can, then you should be OK, I am pretty sure, 90% of the time a better doctor will be taking care of you here than what you could get in the US, unless you are super rich.

    Lets look at dental tourism for example, and just realize that an average Bulgarian, Hungarian, Mexican, Russian, or Colombian (who makes $700-1000 a month) has WAY better teeth than an average American. It's not rocket science or something outside of reach. US is just so insular, so it's hard to realize there is a world beyond. Sure, many things US does way better, but not medical care (in 99% of routine issues).
    I had my teeth (a crown) messed up by a respectable dentist in Chicago, whom I paid $8000 out of pocket, ended up loosing a tooth and needing an implant, which I got in Mexico City at a state of the art dental office with a US educated dentist, Swiss materials and German equipment for under $2000.

    FUT May mean you can’t have very short hair in the back that may reveal the grafting harvesting area and the scar. I’ve seen some very bad and ugly scars from FUT (just people on the street or at the gym).

But what is also horrible is the extraordinary amount of money hair transplant doctors charge in the United States compared to Turkey, India, Pakistán, Buenos Aires, Mexico, and Iran. Those countries charge a fraction and the results are usually stellar! But be patient in following their post-surgical treatments and time for it to grow for the optimum results. Turkey’s clinics are quite exemplary, top notch, and worth the plane ride ticket besides those clinics treating you like a king with accommodations and thorough treatment. I recommend getting a hair transplant because your confidence and looks only rise from there!!

I came home from the Army and found that girls under 30 thought I looked too old for them to date even though I was only 20 by that time. I was 35-40 years old before I was able to start dating women around my own age and most of them had plenty of baggage as a bunch of kids and a hatred of men. So, baldness really did have quite an effect on my life. Now I am 70 years old and ironically, I look much younger than my age and there are plenty of women my age wanting to date me.

    My old boss had it done and after 10 years he lost most of it and he had a very strange area at the back of his scalp where the hairs were removed. Worst part is that you can still 100% see the plugs and it makes you look vain and insecure that you can't cope, accept and love your true self. He was the nicest guy too. This video should show the back of the head and instead comes off like a commercial.

      Then he should just go to turkey and do it again. I don't see anything wrong with doing that. All that accept and love yourself is bullshit, tell that to me when women don't wear make up, do boob jobs, plastic surgery, dress nicely, etc.

    I HAVE DONE work in Turkey, it is so much better than anywhere in Europe and definitely so much better than the US. The hospitals look like 5 star hotels, the staff are amazingly professionakl, the doctors are top notch, the food is amazing, and the price is not a spit in the face.

    In the 90s i was a photographer for a company that did this procedure. It doesnt take that long to perform. It isnt all that complicated. Back , 30 years ago it was about 15000 over 3 sessions. Its relativly safe.
    Thats not to say i think a non physician should be doing it lol.
    But 30,000 dollars? Or even 15,000??
    Its kind of disgusting to me.

    Always try medication for 9 months before taking the surgical route. Don’t panic and take ur time doing research and advice.
