A person shared their positive experience with a hair transplant at Sule Hair Transplant in Istanbul, performed by Dr. Selahattin Tulunay using the Hybrid FUE technique with 5,000 grafts, costing €2,990. The user reported significant hair growth and satisfaction at 3, 6, and 12 months post-surgery, without using finasteride or minoxidil, but faced skepticism from others about the authenticity of their post.
