As a Turk from Istanbul I’m happy to hear how unbiased you are. Just like you said, it comes down to who the doc is and what proper training they had. Most medical procedures in Turkey are regulated similar to EU and it‘s a lot cheaper. I can never understand how you can travel to a country and not know the name of the country and the city you‘ve been to -especially when it‘s a city that was the capital of many cultures for centuries.
Americans and geography have a really terrible reputation... another exemple.^^ I loved Istanbul when I went there, truly magical, I love its history, the architecture, the food, the culture... ; but man, the traffic and the drivers... I thought I would die many times ! 😉

Sounds like he should have started with the medical therapy before doing the transplant. Also it's "Istanbul" not "Instanbul" and this is the city, Turkey is the country.
Just came to comment on that. It's ok if you don't know, but if you spent so much time doing this, made a video about it and highlight the country and the city at least get those simple things right
He was a norwood 2. You don't wanna wait till your a norwood 3 or 4 when it's crazy bad. Norwood 2's usually the perfect time to do it except the guy went way overboard. Number 1 he should of went higher with the more mature hair line and number 2 should of used way less graphs.
@@emello4you Norwood 2 is absolutely not the perfect time to get a transplant, you do know the transplant does nothing to prevent further hair loss so 'Earlier the better' doesn't apply here ? Most elite doctors would not touch this guy and would tell him to get on medication to keep what he has.
3:25 so true I do brow treatments and really dislike those strict microblading measurements.... that's why they always look so artificial. Yeah, the clients usually want more symmetrical brows but you can do "more even brows" without literally a mirror effect. And I try to explain to them , if you look at your hairline you can see the hair flow and direction which also impacts the direction of brow hairs making one lower and one higher, one rounder- one straight. It's usually the same as the hairline, if you have a higer left side, your left brow is also higher (and i think it should stay that way)
idk about that but every time i see a woman with painted on eyebrows i dont want anything to do with her. Or eyebrows plucked so much its a thin line or as you said, way too symmetrical while the face isn't. Makes it look goofy ahh
This is why I'm starting medical therapy for my eyebrows, with Bimatoprost, before doing anything that requires another person's skill to accomplish, on my face. I have very sparse brows with an ugly natural shape, so it took me years to understand exactly the most natural, harmonious and realistic\believable form to do them with make up and I'm a professional artist. I know a good microbladed brow will look perfect on me and save me from wasting time with make up, but I've seen the results and those rigid shapes will never look good on me, plus I don't trust anyone to do something semi-permanent on my face, unless they also are skilled in the artistic field(so they can understand the importance of having imperfect shapes) or even let me draw my own shape. Which excludes 100% of the studios near me or in my city lol
That would explain my uneven brows lol, I have a cow lick on the front left hand side of my hair and then the eyebrow on that side is slightly higher and a bit more of an arch then the other haha
My sons friend, really went there for the transplant because of the cost a lot lot cheaper. Well, he does look much much younger and very happy from the result.
Dr. Gary, you do a fantastic job explaining the process. I like that you stated price isn’t everything. For me personally, I would not want to be half a world from my home,post surgery. I am sure any lectures you give are most informative, I enjoy your UA-cam channel.
Hey Doc just wanted to say you're awesome. Beside being super educational your videos and voice are very entertaining. I just got a hair transplant in turkey, the surgeon was super surprised about my knowledge I picked up from you. Also I was a Norwood 2 since 16 now at 27 I ve become a Norwood because of mpb. We focused on the front of the head with 3k grafts and I'll do a second session in a year. Also you gave me the courage to just go for it. Also looking forward to all your videos Doc. 🎉
I just had hair transplant surgery here in Istanbul at doctor Serkan Aygin clinic. the day after the surgery I went for a long walk trough the city. I was kinda the only one with bald head and bandages. even at the airport and my plane. it's actually not allowed to walk around the day after surgery. you have to rest at the hotel. but I wanted to explore the city.
agree. Actually im not trying to knock dr gary as i do respect him a lot but turkey may be the best in the world in cosmetic surgeries-not just the price. The one thing that I appreciate Dr. Gary saying is how its not about country but surgeon. I got jaw surgery by a canadian doctor and was botched. It doesnt matter where imo. It's more important who does it.
@@loverofhumanity tbh I know several girls that got botched on Turkey. Obviously there are great doctors there, but also many that are not good. I personally would not get any surgery there tbh. But for hair transplants Turkey is definitely a good choice.
First: It's Istanbul, not Instanbul. :) I've been travelling there 25 times for holiday for now. After getting a blepharoplasty in 2019 there, I decided to get a hairtransplant last year in February. I'm 51 years now and I'm very happy with the results so far. The doctor I've carefully selected was amazing. He even build in a little widows peak after I asked. Fact: There are good doctors and bad doctors in Turkiye. Select carefully and take your time picking the right doctor.
Hair transplantation in Turkey is now simply wrong and dangerous! I live in Turkey! Nowadays, in many clinics, transplantation is performed not by doctors, but by medical brothers (nurses), who have “seen enough” and teach from the doctors. But themselves do not have the right to do this procedure! A lot of nurses like this quit from clinics and opened their own!! So they do a wrond way! My friend works in a popular clinic for such operations and she says that there are a lot of complaints and side effects now that doctors are silent about! My husband had such an operation 4 years ago, inflammation began, his head was simply rotting, and the doctors only advised him to take various antibiotics and nothing helped! As a result, my husband now has huge scars on his head and in these places hair no longer grows at all, just empty holes! but because of the antibiotics there was a side effect, and he had to do a second surgery on the stomach!
When I watch a lot of these videos, I am shocked at how little the hairline has receded, to the point that I wonder why they are doing the procedure in the first place. I feel he wasn’t bald enough to do this yet.
Most of them do it for women, just like they also pay tons of money for very dangerous surgeries to increase their height... however, it's well known that women judge men on genetic traits, it's not like women judge men on things that are under a person's control such as weight or hygiene.
I think you're missing the point. Why wait years to go more bald and then pay the money? Do the procedure now, get more years from it, and enjoy the effects of NOT going bald. Great decision to do it and not wait
@@fincarosaYou are extremely incorrect. These hair mills in do transplants on anyone, but an ethical doctor will advise that you wait as long as possible before getting a transplant. There’s a reason most doctors don’t operate on young guys even if they’ve started balding already.
I‘m from Germany and a lot of people here go to Turkey for plastic surgery. Unfortunately, most results aren’t great. The hair transplants usually have a way too crisp hairline and the noses always look like a ski slope and are too small. I’m sure there are great surgeons in Turkey but they are probably just as expensive as the ones in Germany.
Unfortunately, it is not same like 10 years ago. I am Turkish. The clinics increased and not all of them good. It turned into a tourism. I am sure lot of foreigners are falling into a advertisement traps. I was there last summer for searching for rhinoplasty and got ridiculous prices from good doctors. The ones are doing it like a tourism were cheap. And I could not trust.
He doesn't need it. He can just use minoxidil and improve other areas of his life. The right haircut will make whatever he perceives as receding non-existent.
I loved your composure! I also agree that this man didn't need the hair transplant YET (if ever)... do note that the brother who is "reporting" on all this ALSO looks like he had the hair transplant in the same place.
He got the Cro Magnon line up. I don't understand why they have a device making the same curve for everyone. I wonder what people will say in 20 years after all the men start balding more.
Thank you for educating us. Once I find a good reputable doctor in Turkey, I will keep and remember your advices which you have been giving us, through all of your content, to actually ask them adequate questions and kinda "show"them I am not just another one on the chopping block, but in fact I know what truly stands behind a hair transplant. Now the hardest part is to actually find a reliable doctor in Turkey, because I have been reading a lot of negative comments from some of them.
I would say always do your research into the practice where you are going to have surgery no matter the procedure. In the UK their have been loads of stories from people coming back from Turkey, Brazil where they have returned with problems after surgery & unfortunately some have even died!
1. Nothing wrong with having juvenile hairline at old age. People that naturally have juvenile hairline at their 60s look just fine and younger. The problem with these hair transpants is that they really suck at making a good juvenile hairline, where's the temporal hairs? Why is the hairline completely straight? Not even kids have such perfectly straight hairlines. 2. But let's be realistic. There is not enough donor hairs and you're better off saving them for a high/ temporally receeding style hairline in future. Having decent frontal lock and crown coverage instead of obsessing over te temporal points would be much better strategy in the long run. Also many people let their hair fall on their forehead/ face instead of using hair products to do a slick back. In such cases, why bother having very low hairlines, it's not gonna be visible anyway and a higher hairline would be much more practical in that case.
He didn't even look like he needed a hair transplant. Also, it's important to realize that asymmetry in the face is normal and perfect symmetry is abnormal. I tell my makeup clients...."your eyebrows are sisters (or brothers) but they are not twins"
This Hair Transplant took place at Vera Clinic in Istanbul, Turkey. They don't have Doctors doing the procedure, but only briefly observing. Everything is done by there Technicians with doggy results. Don't be fooled by their fancy facility, that doesn't mean they are the best of the best. It's smarter to go with a reputable doctor who is licensed & compliant with all regulations & most importantly be a part of the actual procedure
If you were to take Finasteride and minoxidl as a pill, would if cause hair growth everywhere or just on your head? Also wondering if these are appropriate for women to use
Head face, temporal regions, beard. I don't notice any hair growth anywhere else besides my face, eyebrows and beard, some extra baby hairs on my forehead
Transplants from Turkey seem to counter all of the rules of reasonable transplantation. Emphasis seems to be placed on lowered, high-density hairlines, with exaggerated temple reconstruction. The net byproduct is that future work might be compromised due to overharvesting, and 10 years down the line, the patient may have a 'Drake' style hairline with diffused thinning behind it. I will stick with Hasson & Wong in Canada, they have been great to me and I will be visiting them again shortly.
i wish transplants were more affordable in the US. i got quoted 8-12k by a place in indy. i’m definitely considering turkey for a transplant in the next 5 years. (been on medical therapy for 2 years now)
That’s not that much bro think about it you need to go to Istanbul 12 hour flight then 12 hours again that terrible 8-10k in the states I would say is pretty good
Were they offered this free in return for filming and promoting? Seems strange to me that he went straight for a hair transplant before trying any medications or topical treatments his hair loss was fairly mild. Wouldnt it make more sense to try treatments before doing a surgery that could have been a better solution further down the line?
He says in the video how much it cost his brother, $6,000+. Dr. L explains that the medicinal treatments help to fortify the existing hair, they don't actually grow hair. Once a large or noticeable area has been lost, it is likely that only a transplant will work to regrow hair in the area.
@@susancunningham4661nah 1) he's hyping up the procedure too much, 2) that may have been the initial cost but doesn't mean they didn't receive any compensation once the vid dropped, and 3) the original video actually says the clinic sponsored the video
I had so called unlimited hair transplant for set fee. When i asked after how many grafts they did , they weren't sure. I don't think anybody counts them or is able to keep track of them. They take few hours to pick them and it all depends on how fast technicians pick them. I had few different people swapping in turns to pick them
This angers me that a doctor would do a 4000 graph hairline like that on the subject of this video. I have seen a lot of these Turkey transplants and a lot of them are straight across like that with no gradation in the front. This man went for a 15 year old hairline and looks odd. A normal hairline at his age does not look like that. The front should look jagged meaning not straight think of what a gear sprocket looks like it is jagged in appearance with single graphs used. What will this guy look like at 50 and 60? He could loose most of the hair on top and then he will have a freaking front hair line that looks too low. This is what I have noticed with most of these Turkey hairlines.
My uncle went to turkey from Switzerland he ended having a severe complication he is daughter had to fly there to get him. It is always dangerous to go abroad to have a surgery.
1:30, "Instead, we explore Turkey which is a beautiful city". 😂 I have got bad results done by 2 Istanbul clinics. Hair placements in the wrong direction. For the last surgery I have visited 10 clinics and found out that most of those did not listen to my requirements. They communicated very poorly. I will do the 3rd one in the Netherlands or in India. Definitely Not Turkey. Poor communication leads to unsatisfying results. For Americans, consider clinics in the Netherlands. It saves you traveling time and you find price information on the websites.
I find the cost outrageous. I live in South Korea and got a 4,100 graft FUT transplant in Gangnam in Seoul. Total cost $2,700 USD. And the results are fantastic. Koreans will not half ass anything. They put their heart and soul into every thing they do.
sounds very good, I had a 4500 graft (FUT + FUE) procedure done few weeks ago for approx $2250 in India by a top surgeon having a fantastic track record.
I had 2 hair transplants in Canada and the surgery was done by nurses. The doctor was there to administer anesthesia. My transplants were both successful. I had mine done during Covid so i got a really good price. My first transplant was 3400 grafts and my send was 2700. I paid ~13,000 USD total.
As a hcp, his brother focuses on bling rather than WHO IS PERFORMING THIS PROCEDURE? What are the backups if there's an emergency and a hospitalization needed?
My biggest concerns with going abroad would be what if something went wrong?... what about follow up?..... what do you do, hop on a plane and go back each time?? No thanks for me.....when I finally proceed, I'll stay right here in NYC .....
You should review José Bordalás, a famous football manager here in Spain. He aged backwards or something. He is now 60 but looks around 40 but when he was 40 he looked on the higher end of 50s. I would love seeing that analysis, I have always wondered how.
4000, wow! After debating for years, and not being happy with my hairline since the latter part of the 70’s, I went for 900 follicles last August and was worried that I jumped in too much. Mine was done in the U.S. by a physician I’ve been seeing for years and I’m into my 60’s now. I’m pretty happy with the results but I’m not exactly model material (well, except for that one modeling job where I was on millions of brochures back in ‘79 😬). I wonder if Dr. Gary could just make me not as ugly…
@@GPL2000 ... no reason to not save several thousand in Turkey etc. One just needs to do their research. You're one of the very few that actually had a good experience with Bosley.
@@hmdwn IDK where you're seeing that. The reviews are out there, and they're consistently among the top. BOSLEY is a brand that takes pride in quality. That's why they've been around for almost 50 years. Versus clinics that are popping up like fast food chains. Barely know what they're putting in you or even saying. If I have a complication, I can drive to my clinic. Not the case if you're going 5,000 miles away. And all due respect but until you pull the trigger and get one yourself, you don't even have a dog in this fight.
Just got my 2nd transplant. I def think everyone needs 2. I also had SMP before. I had no clue you had a finite amount of donor hairs! All mine seemed to come back after the 1st, but In guessing that's wrong. I also take finistride / minoxidil and use biotin shampoo. One question for you, do you like being bald? It suits you well, but no SMP or anything?
Our doctors are great docs. They have more surgery experience than most of the surgeons in the west. For example cardiologs turkish surgeons do surgery everyday , but Western or American Surgeons do 1 surgery ın 1 month and get the same amount of money. So yeah it is Cheap but not because of our surgeons' lack of quality, it is because of the economic sitiuation ın Turkey so for example you can buy exact same detergent ın turkey 10x cheaper than in your country due to the Dolar/tl sitiuation. So do not be jeaolous just do not put unfair prices for your operation so people won't go to turkey for exact same operation for cheaper price
Hi there I live in Turkiye. Some of my friends has gone through this procedure. Surgents do not perform hair transplantation. Trained stuff (mostly not a MD) do. Surgent only does the planning.
That original video is dripping with dumbness! From calling Istanbul "Instabull", writing "Instanbull" to saying they explored "Turkey, which is a beautiful city". Shows how much actual knowledge and care went into their video. I'm sure the got a nice ad deal of a few grand, though.
Doctor, plz reply to this comment if you see it . I am 17 and have a bad case of androgenetic alopecia. I can't apply minoxidil because I sweat just after a couple of minutes after applying minoxidil as I am suffering from craniofacial hyperhydrosis. What can I do to prevent and reverse my balding. Plz reply doctor please 🙏 🙏 🙏
I went to the Dermatologist 2 weeks ago, i told her that i was losing hair, so she told to buy minoxidil, so i started using it today, i did it this afternoon about 3 hours ago, how should i know what the reason was? Maybe bad diet, Vitamin D, or genetics, btw i'm 22 years old guy. So probably i will need hair transplant in the near future. I dont have too much money, so i will most likely go to istanbul. Btw i shaved my head yesterday. Every shampoo that i used just didnt work, i was losing hair, got dandruff, scalp was itchying, now dermatologist gave me the shampoo for itchy scalp and this minoxidil.
Exactly what he says. It really doesn’t matter where you go to get your surgery just pick a surgeon that has a very good strategy over time. Not just the initial. You want someone who will care about 6 or 7 or 10 years down the line.
This guy needed a hair transplant like a fish needs a bicycle. I also loved that they flew to "Idanstbul" and toured "the city Turkey."
Instanbul...je fliu to Instanbul...

Always satisfied and very much edified by the way you articulate these videos 🙏🏽
Why is he having a hair transplant? His hair looks fine! Why make it look unnaturally forward.
I agree his forehead is too small now
Coz he's an attention seeking idiot. Saw loads of people going for it...he needed content....
He wanted to be forever 12 😂
looks artificial AF, drawn with a straight ruler
Still looks better at the end of the day
He doesn't need it. He can just use minoxidil and improve other areas of his life. The right haircut will make whatever he perceives as receding non-existent.
I loved your composure! I also agree that this man didn't need the hair transplant YET (if ever)... do note that the brother who is "reporting" on all this ALSO looks like he had the hair transplant in the same place.
Most important is "An Artistic Eye" ..well elaborated Doc. . Thumbs up
American-Moment at 1:34 "We explored turkey which is a beautiful city"
The hairline he went for allows him to create the latest hairstyle -- The Neanderthal.
Doctor, your eyebrows are on fleek!!
lol they are barely hanging on
He got the Cro Magnon line up. I don't understand why they have a device making the same curve for everyone. I wonder what people will say in 20 years after all the men start balding more.
I agree with you. This guy night need laser to make his hairline look normal.
@@dphotos007 I guess shaving would be an option because he wil not get an influencer free hair laser deal and those are expensive.
😂 I was scrolling to see the first comment about his hairline lol. You didn't disappoint.
@@korbindallas8224 Yea all you have to do is mention Turkey. That is what they are famous for.
Kudos on the mustache, doc!
Thank you for educating us. Once I find a good reputable doctor in Turkey, I will keep and remember your advices which you have been giving us, through all of your content, to actually ask them adequate questions and kinda "show"them I am not just another one on the chopping block, but in fact I know what truly stands behind a hair transplant. Now the hardest part is to actually find a reliable doctor in Turkey, because I have been reading a lot of negative comments from some of them.
You just need a reliable source like me.
I would say always do your research into the practice where you are going to have surgery no matter the procedure. In the UK their have been loads of stories from people coming back from Turkey, Brazil where they have returned with problems after surgery & unfortunately some have even died!
Hahaha you funny comedian
Dumbest comment ever@@DKX365
The STORIES only come from the UK... Guess why?
Thanks Dr Gary for your very honest opinions and professional information about the procedure, love your video
1:49 what's wrong with either of the brother's hair? I don't understand people anymore 😂😂😂..
He looked perfectly fine beforehand. The straight hairline looks odd. I love your voice btw Dr Gary - very soothing to listen to.
Love watching your videos but love your ASMR voice even more ☺️
A year or so ago I got offered a free trip to Istanbul and a free hair transplant as long as I vlogged the trip for my channel. I declined.
Sometimes the free stuff ends up being the most expensive.
You can contact me and come and pay for the procedure if you want to.
1. Nothing wrong with having juvenile hairline at old age. People that naturally have juvenile hairline at their 60s look just fine and younger. The problem with these hair transpants is that they really suck at making a good juvenile hairline, where's the temporal hairs? Why is the hairline completely straight? Not even kids have such perfectly straight hairlines.
2. But let's be realistic. There is not enough donor hairs and you're better off saving them for a high/ temporally receeding style hairline in future. Having decent frontal lock and crown coverage instead of obsessing over te temporal points would be much better strategy in the long run. Also many people let their hair fall on their forehead/ face instead of using hair products to do a slick back. In such cases, why bother having very low hairlines, it's not gonna be visible anyway and a higher hairline would be much more practical in that case.
He didn't even look like he needed a hair transplant. Also, it's important to realize that asymmetry in the face is normal and perfect symmetry is abnormal. I tell my makeup clients...."your eyebrows are sisters (or brothers) but they are not twins"
This Hair Transplant took place at Vera Clinic in Istanbul, Turkey. They don't have Doctors doing the procedure, but only briefly observing. Everything is done by there Technicians with doggy results. Don't be fooled by their fancy facility, that doesn't mean they are the best of the best. It's smarter to go with a reputable doctor who is licensed & compliant with all regulations & most importantly be a part of the actual procedure
If you were to take Finasteride and minoxidl as a pill, would if cause hair growth everywhere or just on your head? Also wondering if these are appropriate for women to use
Head face, temporal regions, beard. I don't notice any hair growth anywhere else besides my face, eyebrows and beard, some extra baby hairs on my forehead
My butt hole hair is out of control
Wouldn’t take oral minoxidil too many risk with that just do topical
@@Jacob-nu4nd I have zero side effects side effects only affect like 15% of ppl
@@Loki-Grandmaster watch Haircafe
If anyone has ever had to connect a flight in Istanbul airport all you see is groups of men with head bands leaving back to their country 😂
My friend and a cousin went there for this and they had a great experience and look amazing. They didn't pay more than 5k
" My education is different" love that.
The classic example of a low, straight-across procedure not aging well is Sylvester Stallone
Great video, Dr. Linkov!
Transplants from Turkey seem to counter all of the rules of reasonable transplantation. Emphasis seems to be placed on lowered, high-density hairlines, with exaggerated temple reconstruction. The net byproduct is that future work might be compromised due to overharvesting, and 10 years down the line, the patient may have a 'Drake' style hairline with diffused thinning behind it. I will stick with Hasson & Wong in Canada, they have been great to me and I will be visiting them again shortly.
i wish transplants were more affordable in the US. i got quoted 8-12k by a place in indy. i’m definitely considering turkey for a transplant in the next 5 years. (been on medical therapy for 2 years now)
You should!
You would be surprised at the result you get for as much as 2000 $ Max. Pretty experienced clinics here in Istanbul
That’s not that much bro think about it you need to go to Istanbul 12 hour flight then 12 hours again that terrible 8-10k in the states I would say is pretty good
@@miracleman8022 thx internet stranger. $8-$10k is not that much. thank god you were here to say that.
Turkey isn't a city. Istanbul is.
Were they offered this free in return for filming and promoting? Seems strange to me that he went straight for a hair transplant before trying any medications or topical treatments his hair loss was fairly mild. Wouldnt it make more sense to try treatments before doing a surgery that could have been a better solution further down the line?
He says in the video how much it cost his brother, $6,000+. Dr. L explains that the medicinal treatments help to fortify the existing hair, they don't actually grow hair. Once a large or noticeable area has been lost, it is likely that only a transplant will work to regrow hair in the area.
@@susancunningham4661nah 1) he's hyping up the procedure too much, 2) that may have been the initial cost but doesn't mean they didn't receive any compensation once the vid dropped, and 3) the original video actually says the clinic sponsored the video
@@tyler6320 ok
@@susancunningham4661they talked about the cost, they never said they paid.
I had so called unlimited hair transplant for set fee. When i asked after how many grafts they did , they weren't sure. I don't think anybody counts them or is able to keep track of them. They take few hours to pick them and it all depends on how fast technicians pick them. I had few different people swapping in turns to pick them
This angers me that a doctor would do a 4000 graph hairline like that on the subject of this video. I have seen a lot of these Turkey transplants and a lot of them are straight across like that with no gradation in the front. This man went for a 15 year old hairline and looks odd. A normal hairline at his age does not look like that. The front should look jagged meaning not straight think of what a gear sprocket looks like it is jagged in appearance with single graphs used. What will this guy look like at 50 and 60? He could loose most of the hair on top and then he will have a freaking front hair line that looks too low. This is what I have noticed with most of these Turkey hairlines.
I live in istanbul, there is good and bad clinics of course it is important to find real business professionals.
Which one can be recommended? I hv heard of a very good clinic in Ankara, but it’s expensive. Most of the ones in Istanbul are cheap but sketchy ..
@@uncle.d. dude surgery is something serious. "but it's expensive" why do people play with their lives
My uncle went to turkey from Switzerland he ended having a severe complication he is daughter had to fly there to get him. It is always dangerous to go abroad to have a surgery.
You have to always choose wisely and take your time for your decision if you decide to get a surgery done abroad.
I had my transplant three weeks ago 2200 grafts had no swelling no pain and no shedding as yet.
In Turkey?
@@Belgoboy Manchester UK
Did he request the hairline of a 15 year old werewolf?
1:30, "Instead, we explore Turkey which is a beautiful city". 😂
I have got bad results done by 2 Istanbul clinics. Hair placements in the wrong direction. For the last surgery I have visited 10 clinics and found out that most of those did not listen to my requirements. They communicated very poorly. I will do the 3rd one in the Netherlands or in India. Definitely Not Turkey. Poor communication leads to unsatisfying results. For Americans, consider clinics in the Netherlands. It saves you traveling time and you find price information on the websites.
Oh wow, am really surprised to be honest, i guess you made not so smart choices!?
Dude, the auto-captions spelled out the way he said "Istanbul, Turkey" as "instable Turkey". I'm dying laughing. 😂😂
I find the cost outrageous. I live in South Korea and got a 4,100 graft FUT transplant in Gangnam in Seoul. Total cost $2,700 USD. And the results are fantastic. Koreans will not half ass anything. They put their heart and soul into every thing they do.
sounds very good, I had a 4500 graft (FUT + FUE) procedure done few weeks ago for approx $2250 in India by a top surgeon having a fantastic track record.
@@lsatutube that's awesome man. congrats. keep popping that finasteride!
@Eric-ph4yw Thank you, yes Sir that's the plan!
I want to avoid using Minoxidil though!
@@lsatutube Minoxidil I feel from experience isn't worth the hassle. Finasteride is a must and you'll keep your hair the rest of your life.
"we explored Turkey, which is a beautiful city" oof
Yanks
I had 2 hair transplants in Canada and the surgery was done by nurses. The doctor was there to administer anesthesia. My transplants were both successful. I had mine done during Covid so i got a really good price. My first transplant was 3400 grafts and my send was 2700. I paid ~13,000 USD total.
You mind saying the actual place you went to?
As a hcp, his brother focuses on bling rather than WHO IS PERFORMING THIS PROCEDURE? What are the backups if there's an emergency and a hospitalization needed?
Thank you for all these very informative tips. I now feel I’m better prepared before visiting a hair transplant clinic.
My biggest concerns with going abroad would be what if something went wrong?... what about follow up?..... what do you do, hop on a plane and go back each time??
No thanks for me.....when I finally proceed, I'll stay right here in NYC .....
The follow up is in there own country. A fiend of my went to turkey but the follow up is in The Netherlands in there own clinic 😁😊
Thank you Doctor for another great video.
I have always suspected that much but now we know from a trustworthy source: Turkey is a beautiful city.
And Istanbul is a beautiful country as well 😁
Instabull has more inhabitants than most countries
I cant believe this dude flew all the way to Turkey to get such a minimal transplant procedure
I pass on all this trouble and accept my dealt hand in the card game of life!
For real. I have a decent head of hair but if it goes away well shiz that’s how it goes
You should review José Bordalás, a famous football manager here in Spain. He aged backwards or something. He is now 60 but looks around 40 but when he was 40 he looked on the higher end of 50s. I would love seeing that analysis, I have always wondered how.
4000, wow! After debating for years, and not being happy with my hairline since the latter part of the 70’s, I went for 900 follicles last August and was worried that I jumped in too much. Mine was done in the U.S. by a physician I’ve been seeing for years and I’m into my 60’s now. I’m pretty happy with the results but I’m not exactly model material (well, except for that one modeling job where I was on millions of brochures back in ‘79 😬). I wonder if Dr. Gary could just make me not as ugly…
how much did it cost?
@@MultiLightDark Being that I’m an ugly dude and there was no pressure, I got out with just over a couple of grand.
I will keep my shaved head and bear no pain, no charge, and, most importantly, no medication side effects.

Hey Doc. I am now taking 2,5 mg minoxidil and get sometimes skin rashes. It doesn’t last long but I am afraid it could get worse ?
on the swelling, how soon can you consume tumeric, to reduce the swelling, same day, next day, etc.
I got mine at Bosley in Nov. My hair is finally starting to sprout. I'm excited to make it to month 12.
They're one of the worst reviewed places... but I suppose it depends on what location and which Dr is actually doing the procedure that day.
@@hmdwn that's incorrect. They're more expensive than Turkey, by far. But it's worth the peace of mind. They were fantastic.
@@GPL2000 ... no reason to not save several thousand in Turkey etc.
One just needs to do their research.
You're one of the very few that actually had a good experience with Bosley.
Which Bosley Atlanta?
@@hmdwn IDK where you're seeing that. The reviews are out there, and they're consistently among the top. BOSLEY is a brand that takes pride in quality. That's why they've been around for almost 50 years. Versus clinics that are popping up like fast food chains. Barely know what they're putting in you or even saying. If I have a complication, I can drive to my clinic. Not the case if you're going 5,000 miles away. And all due respect but until you pull the trigger and get one yourself, you don't even have a dog in this fight.
I wish that man had not worried about his hair loss. He looks fine.
The superhero suspense music that he used in the background while talking about transplanted grafts and swelling had it for me. 🤣🤣🤣
If he needs transplant than the brother what make the video need one too....
Love the calming commentary/reaction on this " needed surgery 😂"
@1:02 first time I've seen doc Gary smiling like that in the entirety of him vlogging.
Just got my 2nd transplant. I def think everyone needs 2. I also had SMP before. I had no clue you had a finite amount of donor hairs! All mine seemed to come back after the 1st, but In guessing that's wrong. I also take finistride / minoxidil and use biotin shampoo.
One question for you, do you like being bald? It suits you well, but no SMP or anything?
Everything is so expensive here in the United States, it only make sense to travel for surgeries
Doc you are a gem
Our doctors are great docs. They have more surgery experience than most of the surgeons in the west. For example cardiologs turkish surgeons do surgery everyday , but Western or American Surgeons do 1 surgery ın 1 month and get the same amount of money. So yeah it is Cheap but not because of our surgeons' lack of quality, it is because of the economic sitiuation ın Turkey so for example you can buy exact same detergent ın turkey 10x cheaper than in your country due to the Dolar/tl sitiuation. So do not be jeaolous just do not put unfair prices for your operation so people won't go to turkey for exact same operation for cheaper price
Hi there I live in Turkiye. Some of my friends has gone through this procedure. Surgents do not perform hair transplantation. Trained stuff (mostly not a MD) do. Surgent only does the planning.
How soon can one get a second hair transplant or what is the recommended time to wait? Please make a quick video about it. Thank you.
If you're in the UK and thinking of getting yours done, let me know. I've just had mine done with a UK based company and would highly recommend them
I am in UK can you tell me where?
@harrysingh1342 Hair Growth Centre.....They have 5 or 6 centers around the UK 👍
It can be dangerous doing surgical operations in turkey. Would something happen they'll probably fully neglect you as many have told.
I was expecting doc to talk about those barcodes at 17:00. You can scan that shit at the supermarket.
That original video is dripping with dumbness! From calling Istanbul "Instabull", writing "Instanbull" to saying they explored "Turkey, which is a beautiful city". Shows how much actual knowledge and care went into their video. I'm sure the got a nice ad deal of a few grand, though.
Doctor, plz reply to this comment if you see it . I am 17 and have a bad case of androgenetic alopecia. I can't apply minoxidil because I sweat just after a couple of minutes after applying minoxidil as I am suffering from craniofacial hyperhydrosis. What can I do to prevent and reverse my balding. Plz reply doctor please 🙏 🙏 🙏
1:28 Brotha just skimmed over the whole price thing lmao
I went to the Dermatologist 2 weeks ago, i told her that i was losing hair, so she told to buy minoxidil, so i started using it today, i did it this afternoon about 3 hours ago, how should i know what the reason was? Maybe bad diet, Vitamin D, or genetics, btw i'm 22 years old guy. So probably i will need hair transplant in the near future. I dont have too much money, so i will most likely go to istanbul. Btw i shaved my head yesterday. Every shampoo that i used just didnt work, i was losing hair, got dandruff, scalp was itchying, now dermatologist gave me the shampoo for itchy scalp and this minoxidil.
Very interesting. Thanks for making this video 👍👍
How easy is the crown area to get replaced? One doctor said it was basically impossible!😢
Depends on a number of factors
His hairline before the surgery was really good.
It was even BETTER …☠️😭
Exactly what he says. It really doesn’t matter where you go to get your surgery just pick a surgeon that has a very good strategy over time. Not just the initial. You want someone who will care about 6 or 7 or 10 years down the line.
Precisely
I myself went to turkey to do this and my hairline was the same but im happy with my results nearly 3 years later
