  • Here is the highly requested update on my hair transplant experience in Istanbul, Turkey at the Asli Tarcan clinic. In this video, I cover my entire stay from day-to-day in the clinic. I answer reoccurring questions such as price and current growth progress. This video is lengthy because there was a lot to cover and talk about. Please keep in mind that everything shared in this video is from my experience and viewpoint. I can not speak for anyone, but me. I'm also not here to bash the clinic.. I'm only sharing my experience during my time there. Hope you enjoy! And thanks for watching! -RP

    This is hands down the best Asli review video I've ever seen. I appreciated you going in depth about every thing you experienced in regards to the staff, the procedure, the aftercare, the conversations etc. Most people who review this clinic only focus on the results and very little on the experience, maybe others have not experienced the same thing and that is why but either or I appreciate this video a lot as I just recently contacted them in regards to fixing a botched hair transplant I did with Bosley.
    I find it ironic how I had a Great experience with bosley but ended up with terrible results for a significant amount of money, where as you had a terrible experience but in turn have achieved immaculate results for a very great price.
    I appreciate this video so much its unfortunate that this clinic is dishonest and doesn't seem to want to be transparent or fair to their customers. These are the reasons a lot of people who go out of the US for surgery come back in body bags. A lot of those overseas clinics are dishonest and can care less about their customers well being. I'm glad nothing happened to you brother and I'm looking forward to seeing more videos about your results and such in the future.

    My sincerest condolences to you for that horrible experience. You were brave to want to do so many different things in 1 visit to a place you were unfamiliar with. You’ve got balls. I’m contemplating getting hair restoration in Turkey but your experience has made me do more research!!! Praise God you are still alive from your reactions to the medicines, I’ve traveled a lot so bad taxi drivers are common. The biggest question I have is are you satisfied with your results and if so would you do it again? There’s lots of videos about the discomfort of the procedure and the journey but they all end with they’d do it again.. one good thing came of it, you made good money from this video and others regarding this situation.

Most women are more attracted to men with confidence and humor, and those that work towards goals. There’s no woman/man/whatever ur taste is, worth having that wouldn’t want to be with you because your hair.

    If you never talked about this on your chanel, no one could tell you did all of that, your donor area looks good, a few more months and you wont even tell, you get a taper fade and no one will be able to tell you did anything.

    for four months that is an excellent result, it takes up to a year for full growth, but it looks great as is! In terms of the number of grafts, each graft can usually have more than one hair, so a graft can have one or two or three or even four hairs per graft.

      @christianalvarez3471 Před 11 měsíci +3

      I don't know man, even though he had to endure all that BS - his hairline went from a 40 yr old to mid 20s, 4500 USD, for flight + hotel + room service + dental work + 3000 grafts (FUE) + PRP + SMP + antibiotics (weren't effective enough), but at that price - I think they still did right by him
      Rio got the older FUT type done in 2015 in the USA for 6500 USD for 1500 grafts, I think the American clinic did him dirty, more than the clinic in Turkey which might be why he was so distrustful the second time around
      So I don't know how I feel about this, if a grocery store was farther away, and the people there didn't speak any English and always gave me the side eye but always charged a fair price, vs a local store that were friendlier but charged 3x the amount...

    And Trust Me, this is the case of the majority of the Turkish people, for them it's never about the quality of the service, it's all about sucking every last penny from You, specially if You're a foreigner under their own care, You'll be like a sheep under care of Wolves, I know that because I have 9 years living here (Turkey) so far. So I totally understand Your frustration and I know everything You went through is the Norm in this country (Unfortunately).
    Also, Thank You so much for sharing Your experience regardless of how long the video may be, It may not do much but, YOU EARNED YOURSELF A NEW SINCERE SUBSCRIBER. Looking forward to watch More of Your videos.

But mostly this is how things are done almost everywhere here. The lack of communication with the foreigners. and the fact that they only wanna take your money. Now for the medicine from what I read on the boxes, I do believe they are the same but one is more powerful than the other, but the manufacturer of the medicine is different on each one. Much love from Turkey

Or is it small circular scars? No one ever talks about the aftermath. Like what if you wanted to fade your hair in the area where they took follicles.

It’s frightening to know the clinics line of communication is pretty poor, knowing they have international clients they should ensure a comfortable and welcoming and fully informative environment ! Anyway I think your results are exceptional ! Also the hairline is perfect and you do not have a big forehead 🙄 who ever said that is a clown.

    Okay I take back what i said about them knowing who you are In your previous video lol. I had my transplant about a month ago now i didn't have as near as bad of an experience as yourself. My consultant was very helpful and kept it 100 with me the whole time i was there he didn't push me on products but he did recommend them. I also wanna say they knew you had and infection the first day you came back and ill tell you how i know.I had DHI done and with DHI you are more prone to infection so you have to receive those shots you were talking about but didn't experience the first medication they shot you with i had the second. No one that received FUE during the time i was there had to take shots. So i will say they knew what was up I'm assuming they didn't want to frighten you. I also totally agree with your statements about Fred he is very arogant and feels like he can do whatever he wants. I had a similar experience when he was trying to draw my edge up I'm like naw i want it like this he wanna argue about how i want my hair smh. At one point in time this man came in the room while i was getting Ozone therapy and flicked my tittie and asked me do i want some work done almost slapped taste out dude mouth had to remember were i was at. Other than him I will say the full staff is very helpful and nice Fred can kick rocks though. I kinda learned in Turkey they talk to people any kinda way regardless not a place i would like to revisit. Sorry for the long comment bruh.

    Hey Rio thanks for sharing your experience, and sorry for the bad things that happened to you, just remember is a different world. I travel to Turkey last September for three weeks to the Northern city of Trabzon just for leisure and business and exactly that's what Turkish looks and behave as you describe. But I found out that's their lifestyle and is just normal to them. After I while I just use to them and in general, they're good people. I will do the same hair transparency as you did, but of cause from the different clinic, and when I choose a place to work with I go with at least 75% with a good review. Your results turned up very good though but because of your review, I will choose another clinic for sure. I'm going there in march to do my hair work. Thanks for the great videos.

    Thank you Río for posting this. Wow this story is juicy! I have been following a lot of Asli tarcan clients. And when I started my research my top priority was communication. I choose Este Capelli for the communication and full honesty. I didn't have to pay a reservation fee, stayed in Turkey for 2 weeks and the service was perfect. In all that time the translator/medical advisor was there during the process and after each transfer. I believe the clinic I went to is more boutique style and therefore operate with a smaller team. Despite what you went through your Hair looks great.I think Asli Tarcan uses a call centre to hook in customers needless to say I doubt you spoke with one of the owners in arranging the price. The PRP session was part of the package did you end up paying for that separately as well?

    Both the meds were antibiotics.

When you said that it hurt like crazy, I knew that it was Cefazolin. No other antibiotic hurts when given IM like that one does. I’m a nurse, and I’ve received it once as well.
