lR9A9l had 2,150 grafts (FUE) with Dr. Mehmet Erdogan at Smile Hair Clinic in Turkey in February 2023, choosing the higher-cost package so the doctor did the incisions, and recalls paying around $3k. Over monthly updates from month 3 to month 11 they stayed positive, saying 'in my case i couldn’t be happier' while noting a less dense spot on the hairline and a donor 'a little beat up' with some over harvesting on the right side. Commenters questioned the straight, multi-hair hairline; OP denies being paid to promote the clinic.

Historical_Let_8249 had 4,550 FUE grafts (about 2,600 in the crown) at Smile Hair Clinic with Dr Mehmet Erdogan in early February 2025, paying $6,700 for the top doctor package (about $9,000 with flights). At 5 months he wrote he was happy with the results so far and still waiting for full results, especially in the crown, and praised communication, shuttles and aftercare. He also said he would probably have picked a different clinic had he read the sub's complaints first; some commenters said he overpaid for what they see as a hair mill.

- really worried about the progress bron ↗
Affectionate_Cut8644, a 31-year-old man per the thread title, posted at 10 months after 3,400 grafts from Dr Mehmet Erdogan at Smile Hair Clinic in Istanbul; the clinic rated him Norwood 6 and no price is stated. He writes that his hairline "looks really patchy" and looks more or less like the 3rd month, and that he is really worried about the progress. The clinic told him he is at 65-70% of the final result and can expect another 30% volume. He says he never took finasteride or minoxidil because of side effects and plans to start finasteride; commenters mostly criticised the clinic and the lack of medication.

They gave the package as Premium without a figure. At 5 months and 2 weeks they wrote that they are pretty happy so far, while asking whether ongoing scabs and bumpiness around the hairline are normal.

adi_naveen had not had surgery and in November 2025 was choosing between Vera, Dr. Serkan and Smile Hair Clinic in Istanbul. They report Smile said they could choose Dr Bilgin or Dr Erdogan, and that on the Diamond package the incisions are done by one of those doctors or Dr Firdavs Ahmedov, with extraction by the chief surgical assistant and implantation by specialist technicians. They give no verdict and no price.

- man 5.000 grafts ingreep 2021
Parking-Diet7693 reports a 5,000-graft transplant at Smile Clinic in 2021 with no growth over 18 months, and says Dr Erdogan Mehmet praised the result as natural and told him to dermaroll, rest and avoid sun for a year. He says he takes finasteride 1 mg and did proper aftercare, and concludes "So I got lied upon." The claim is unverified: many commenters said the photos are from 21 days after surgery and not his, and the Smile Hair Clinic account disputed the timeline and graft count.
