Interesting-Onion787 had 3,500 FUE grafts with Dr Ahmed Altan at Aestepool in Turkey in 2025 and paid 3,600 euros. At day 15 he gave a mixed review: he chose Altan because he was the only doctor to ask for a clearer donor picture and suggest a conservative graft count, and describes the work as 'super clean' with no swelling, bleeding or painkillers. His complaints were logistical (a confusing airport pickup with a car breakdown, a hotel food delay) and that sedation was not offered, putting anaesthesia pain at about 7 out of 10. No results are reported yet.

Real-Performance8165 had 3,740 grafts harvested and implanted by Dr Ahmed Altan in Turkey in 2025 on the 3,000 EUR standard package (about 0.80 EUR per graft); another post of his gives around 3,750 grafts in the crown and hairline area.

The user had 3,300 grafts with Dr. Ahmed Altan (Aestepool, Istanbul) in May 2024 after finding him through Polish forums, and later said they paid 2100 (currency not stated) a little more than a year before November 2025. Right after surgery they said it seemed like clean work but they had hoped for more grafts and doubted the grafts would make a visible difference in the crown and middle. At one month they said it was hard to say how the transplant would turn out, hopefully good. No later result is reported.

- Surgeon extremely kind and reassuring bron ↗
- Team incredibly helpful bron ↗
- Pain minimal; only harvesting hurt a bit bron ↗
- Donor yielded only 3,000 grafts; second surgery needed bron ↗
Ridoor had a first 3,000-graft session with Dr Altan at Aestepool in December 2025, paying around £3600 (booked early, he thinks the price is different now). On the day he said everything went well and Dr. Ahmed was 'extremely kind and reassuring'; only harvesting hurt a bit. Only 3,000 grafts could be extracted from his donor this time, so a second operation is planned for October, possibly with beard hair. At 6 months he posted photos without stating an overall opinion in that thread.

- Anaesthetic injections painful, about 5/10 bron ↗
CalmProgress79, a 45-year-old UK man, booked FUE with Dr Ahmed Altan at Aestepool in Istanbul for 20 January 2026, choosing him over FueCapilar because Altan video-called him personally before booking. He received 3,321 grafts (about 1,800 frontal, 1,500 crown); the surgeon told him on the day that 4,000 would not have been safe for the donor. He found the anaesthetic injections the worst part, and at about 7 weeks reports shedding and smooth healing. He says he is 'happy with the plan and how it’s been handled', while stressing it is early days. No price is stated.

- man 27 jaar 2.600 grafts ingreep 2024

- dramatic change from around month 7 bron ↗
This 27-year-old had 2,600 grafts with Dr Ahmed Altan at Aestepool in Istanbul in August 2024, after thinning since about 18, paying around 2,760 euro including procedure, hotel and flights. At 6 months they were unsure of the result; at one year they said the result is really good and they are happy to have their hair back, noting the first months looked terrible and things changed dramatically from around month 7. They use minoxidil and saw palmetto, not finasteride. Some commenters doubted the photos; they denied it was advertising.

Pretend_Tackle_9661 posted on day 1 after 4,100 grafts with Dr. Ahmed Altan at Aestepool in April 2026 (2,200 hairline, 400 middle, 1,500 crown). He says the price was €3990, or €3790 because he consented to the clinic taking his pictures. He asked readers what they thought of the result and gave no overall judgment of the clinic. He says several doctors told him his donor area was good for that many grafts.
