    3200 Grafts With Dr. Ekrem Civas (turkey)

    I paid via wire transfer. There was no extra charge for doing so, so it was most convenient for me. I didn't bring any foreign currency. There are plenty of ATMs around to get Lira, which is what I used on multiple occasions. The amount of Lira you'll need is dependent on how much you plan to...

    3200 Grafts With Dr. Ekrem Civas (turkey)

    I didn't ask, but based on the area he took hair from and my remaining hair, I bet I can easily do another 3200 graft implant. I'm considering doing a hairline density transplant eventually, but it's a little early to decide if I need that or not =) 9 months to go for full results..

    Thanks! I primarily chose FUE over FUT because I didn't want the scar that comes with FUT. Also, it seems like most Turkish surgeons perform FUE. Dr. Civas does offer both, but when I asked him about FUT on surgery day, he recommended FUE. That was enough for me. Yes, I noticed the "alleys"...

    3200 Grafts With Dr. Ekrem Civas (turkey)

    I'm a single, 32-year-old American. Norwood 5/6. 3200 grafts (this cost me 3700 EUR; he seems to give discounts based on the season of the year.) I will update this review periodically over the coming year, so unless I'm hit by a truck, expect constant updates and feedback here. I'm doing this...
