Heisen Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 Hi All, I have been following this forum for quite sometime now. I'm around NW2A and considering an FUE. I shortlisted the following doctors: Dr. Feriduni Dr Mwamba Dr Erdogan Dr Maras I heard that Feriduni has 8-10 month waiting list, but I'm looking to get mine done in the next 3-4 months. So, I guess that's not an option with Feriduni. So, it gets me down to the other three. I'm leaning towards Dr. Erdogan, but communication seems to be a big let down. I'm worried if this is the case before surgery, then what about after-procedure patient concerns etc. Is there an active representative of Dr. Erdogan on this forum? If so, someone please point me to him. On the other hand, Dr. Mwamba is extremely quick in responding to questions. That's kind of reassuring. So, I'm torn between the two. But, Dr. Mwamba is twice as expensive. In the end, that doesn't matter because Dr. Erdogan's graft estimation is higher and the cost comes up to be same. I have contacted Dr. Maras yesterday as well. Yet to get a reply. Any help from you experienced guys in deciding between these three doctors would be helpful. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member dreamermerlin Posted July 5, 2015 Regular Member Share Posted July 5, 2015 It may be too early for a HT, if you're only NW2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heisen Posted July 5, 2015 Author Share Posted July 5, 2015 It may be too early for a HT, if you're only NW2. I have been maintaining well for around 4 years with DUT and Minox. But, the hairline bothers me. I want to set it right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member hairshopeing Posted July 5, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted July 5, 2015 All great Dr's! Iv used feriduni and was very happy with my results but if I was a newbie researching they are the exact Dr's I'd be considering!!! Can't go wrong with any of them!!

Senior Member mav23100gunther Posted July 5, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted July 5, 2015 Go with Erdogan. There really won't be much need for post-op communications. He should also provide you with a cell number for post surgery emergencies. Their response rates to e-mail communication is atrocious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member mav23100gunther Posted July 5, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted July 5, 2015 Have you considered Bisango? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member FUE2014 Posted July 6, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted July 6, 2015 Bisango, lol, anyway I've heard loads of good stuff about Mwamba, but haven't seen many, if any, results posted by patients , Maras is excellent, there is some very extensive blogs on FUE with him on hairlossexperiences.com. PS I find bisanga's hairlines to be too conservative for my tastes, but there is no denying g he is an excellent surgeon. Have u considered Lorenzo?

Senior Member Sean Posted July 6, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted July 6, 2015 Choose wisely, evaluate and ask about surgeons surgical protocol and if it is right for you. Review consent forms if you can. Review patient gaurantees of each if something doesnt work out. Ask what is offered? Try to message real patients to get feedback. If you want information regarding some Turkish docs it may be a good idea to get some input from Joe Tillman (the Mentor). He is a busy guy, but maybe he can help. He knows a lot of docs in the industry and even was at the Mediterranean FUE workshop in Turkey where many well known docs were present (including Dr Erdogan). Dr Erdogan is not a bad choice. He does push out some decent work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could not find much work documented by Dr. Mwamba or his patients. And, Bisanga is conservative as you said; that is ethical and the right thing to do. But, it is just not what I want. Lorenzo is too expensive for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member hairshopeing Posted July 6, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted July 6, 2015 I agree with lorenzo if cost isn't an issue he is probably the most consistent surgeon out there for fue! Iv yet to see a bad result from him and he has quite a few patients on here all have had excellent growth! Although I believe he now uses techs to assist in the punching so hopefully that won't effect his usual high yield! Only time will tell! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member hairshopeing Posted July 6, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted July 6, 2015 Sorry you posted lorenzo was too expensive as I was writing the above!! Another one I'd check out is kesser there's some good results on u tube for him and a few knocking round on here! I think he limits it to 500 grafts a day though so depends on how much time you have got and the number of grafts you will require Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heisen Posted July 7, 2015 Author Share Posted July 7, 2015 thnks all for ur replies. I have shortlisted Erdogan and Feriduni. Feriduni has a long wait time. Is it worth it waiting for Feriduni, or should I go with Erdogan? I know both are great doctors. I just don't wanna go wrong. Thanks for ur advice.

Senior Member Sparky Posted July 7, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted July 7, 2015 Don't think you could go wrong with either of those, I don't know which one I would choose either....

Senior Member mav23100gunther Posted July 7, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted July 7, 2015 Its like picking between Peyton Manning or Aaron Rogers as your starting quarterback - both are outstanding. If not for the ridiculously long waitlist for Feriduni, I would personally pick him, but if you can't wait that long, Erdogan is just as good a choice. How different were their recommended grafts for your procedure? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heisen Posted July 9, 2015 Author Share Posted July 9, 2015 Feriduni said he'll only do my hairline with 1200-1600. I have little loss in the midscalp too but he said if a transplant id done there, it may result in shock loss. Erdogan recommended 3000-3200 for the front third of the scalp. I guess he dense packs with minimal shock loss going by the before/after pictures from his clinic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member mav23100gunther Posted July 9, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted July 9, 2015 Jeez, that's a huge difference in grafts. I would definitely get another opinion before committing. If multiple surgeons are recommending 1200 to 1600 grafts, and Erdogan is the outlier - that should give you pause. If not, then sounds like Erdogan is your man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member FUE2014 Posted July 10, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted July 10, 2015 I'm not a fan of Erdogan, he uses faaaar to many grafts and by all accounts they have shit loads of patients a day. If you're not prepared to wait for Feriduni, my second choice would be Dr Maras any day of the week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heisen Posted July 10, 2015 Author Share Posted July 10, 2015 Mwamba - 1700-2000 Doganay- 1800 Demirsoy - 2000-2200 Ali Emre - 2000 Yet to send pics to Maras. He has asked some special kind of pics. I have to redo pics again for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member mav23100gunther Posted July 10, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted July 10, 2015 I just think Erdogan is recommending a lot more grafts than the others. Sure he overcompensates with the grafts, and if you have enough lifetime donor supply then why not, but it seems excessive compared to the others. On the other hand, anything under 2,000 grafts won't really make much of an aesthetic difference. Tough one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
