About Me
Age: 29 | Ethnicity: Caucasian | Norwood Scale: II/III
In January 2019, I underwent a poorly executed FUE transplant (1700 grafts) at “Clinic Centre - Istanbul” in Turkey. The procedure left me with an unnatural hairline, low density, and grafts implanted at incorrect angles. Despite requesting a higher hairline at the last minute, the results were disastrous. The clinic had misleading reviews, and I made the mistake of not researching thoroughly.
Advice for Others Considering a Hair Transplant
• Research extensively: read reviews across multiple platforms, consult forums, and speak to several past patients.
• Beware of fake reviews or patients satisfied with unnatural results.
• In Turkey especially, only a limited number of clinics deliver quality outcomes—proceed cautiously.
A few reminders if you’re struggling with a bad transplant:
• Learn from past mistakes without regret.
• Most people don’t notice or care as much as you think.
• If something bothers you, take action—but if it’s out of your control, move forward.
My Repair Journey
After careful research, I found that a repair was possible. In November 2020, I chose Dr. Feriduni in Hasselt, Belgium, known for his expertise in both standard FUE and complex repair cases. His reputation across forums and his portfolio of similar cases made him the ideal choice.
Consultation and Treatment Plan
Dr. Feriduni’s consultation was incredibly thorough, lasting several hours. He listened to my concerns, assessed my aesthetic goals, and presented options while showing me examples of his work on similar cases. His professionalism and friendly demeanor were reassuring.
The agreed treatment plan included:
1. Extraction of poorly placed grafts in the hairline (507 total, with most reused).
2. Redesigning the hairline and adding density with 2200 new grafts.
Surgery Experience
The clinic was modern and welcoming, and the staff ensured a smooth experience. Dr. Feriduni performed the delicate extractions and incisions, while his assistants handled graft extraction and implantation. The entire procedure took a full day (9:30 AM–4 PM), requiring patience, but the attention to detail was worth it.
Post-Op Recovery
• Pain: Minimal and managed well with prescribed medication.
• Swelling: Almost nonexistent due to skilled techniques, hydration, and regular ice pack use.
• Support: Dr. Feriduni’s team was responsive to my post-op queries, offering advice promptly via WhatsApp.
• Day 9: Once the scabs fell off, I was pleased with the initial appearance before shedding began.
Conclusion
My experience with Dr. Feriduni was outstanding—vastly superior to my first transplant. I’m optimistic about achieving the natural, dense result I was aiming for and will share updates as my progress continues.
If you’re considering a repair or a first transplant, I highly recommend Dr. Feriduni for his expertise and patient care.
