Of course the doctors that charge 20k in the US are not gonna say anything good about the doctors in Turkey that charge 3k...

The real problem is that the price of medical care in the US is a scam.

My son flew to turkey from Texas . He his transplant for $ 2500 . He was there for 5 days and returned home. Everything went well.

It’s not risky in turkey, the doctors in the USA just want you to spend 5x more in the states 🙄

We are pleased to be a part of Bryan's amazing transformation, and we thank ABC News for allowing us to share our joy.

This is probably no riskier abroad than it is here in the US. Just cause it’s more expensive here doesn’t mean it’s any safer or “better”

My dad went out there for 10 days. $125 a day all inclusive hotel, flew Turkish airlines (no complaints), did his procedure for $1800 and they gave him a 6 month kit! All worked out. He’s satisfied with his results and looks 20 years younger. The health insurance and care in the US is a scam. I know family members who went to Turkey and Mexico to do oral care for a dirt price and all worked out. Listen, if you got the money, know a connect, do it. These healthcare folks here in the US who talk bad about the idea is preventing you from making a change because they’re gonna “lose” money on their end and it’s not good for business. During this time where America is bleeding heavily on inflation, you gotta approach different avenues. Let’s have an honest conversation here.

I was quoted 30k in Canada and told I could go on a payment plan. I went to Turkey instead and paid 4k CAD. I’m happy with my result. No I’m not a Turkey bot or trying to advertise the clinic I went to.

Sounds like a doctor who is scared of losing $$$$$ from his expensive prices, meanwhile turkey clinic is state of the art, clean, modern and this doc in the US is still stuck in the 80s

I like how American media try to present these abroad procedures like something shady etc to protect their own market while it's the same just cheaper (same with people going to Mexico to buy Insulin for 1/20th the price).

I did it in 2020, only $2000.00. And it’s BLESSING.

The guys post operation interview says it all… dude looks so relieved and relaxed

He looks nice. $3k in Turkey vs $30k in the US. 😮

My nephew went bald prematurely and was feeling depressed because of that. He got the hair transplant in Istanbul and he looks amazing now.❤❤😊😊

I looked into this last year and after sending pics n vids of my donor area, they told me they couldn't do it, not enough donor area. I appreciated their honesty.

The doctors that do this in turkey not only have state of the art equipment but also have significantly more experience in hair transplants than American doctors. The only reason American doctors are upset is that they are losing money.

I guarantee you that clinics in Turkey are much cleaner than the US and the UK. Not only prices but also doctors are really good at surgery.

I'm a Turkish guy who is living in western country, but i can say with my heart the doctors in Turkey has much more experience than here.

I went to turkey and paid 1,800 USD hotel included and now i have a head full of hair. I don't regret it at all.

I got alot of collegues from Turkey. Most of them 3rd or even 4th generation. Some of them have done the transplant in Turkey. And the result is AMAZING.

Worked for me! I went to Istanbul 2.5 years ago and am ecstatic about the results !!

I know a few guys that went to Turkey for this procedure. They are extremely happy with the results. I must admit that I was impressed.

I'll never forget being in the Istanbul airport and seeing all these dudes with bandages on their heads. I tried asking this guy I was in line with, but there was a language barrier. When I got home, I looked it up and found out what it was.

I know a guy that had his hair done in Kenya and it turned out perfect for him. Countries out there have caught up with technology and are offering greater services at a lower cost.

I went to Istanbul a little over 4 years ago and got a life changing hair transplant. Then I went back two years later and did a second one to finish up around the crown of the head. The results are 10/10. Meanwhile my friend opted to stay in the US and do his there - he spent more than 5 times as much as me and now needs corrective surgery. He was very demoralized at the shoddy results and scarring. The technology and level of experience pales in comparison to the cosmetic industry in Turkey especially when it comes to hair transplantation. I went from a Norwood VI to now having a full head of voluminous hair thanks to Dr. Çinik. Perfect hairline. Results are so good, it’s Impossible to recognize that I had one. Forever grateful.

Misleading click bait title. A hair transplant is not a cure for baldness; it is a workaround for baldness.

I have gone overseas for hospital care for an uncovered pre-existing condition saving 75% including airfare. I have gone overseas for dental work saving 70%. I did it with the help of friends living in one place and recommended by US friend regarding dental work.

As someone living in Turkey, I am really happy that I had the same thing done. Some things don't come back, but there are many things we can bring back.

Yeah, let’s ask a US hair transplant doctor what he thinks about people going to Turkey instead of paying him thousands of dollars more. How biased could he be 😏

I got my hair transplant in Turkey. I am very happy. I look 10-15 years younger 🎉

I love how happy with the end result. Key note: do what makes you happy here on earth.

My friend had theirs in Turkey from one of the popular clinics and his results are amazing. He was sceptical before going but is so glad he went ahead with it. Once my hair starts to go, I will be going too.

I had 2 of these done. on in NY and one in Europe. both were great, but europe was way cheaper. zero issues. i'm very happy with my hair today.

as a bald dude I never understand why some man are so insecure about getting bald, I never gave a crap about it and find it so much easier not having hair

friend went last year to do it, absolutely worth every dollar he said. looking at his hair now its 100% success

He seems a really good guy. I'm glad he got a great result.

I could give a damn what anyone thinks having a bald head. My confidence is just massively unapologetic. Same for grey hair. I will NEVER cover or replace what i was blessed to lose or gain. #LiveLongEnough

You know how you hide a bald spot ? Buy a Lamborghini.

I am from Turkey, I live in Turkey, I have always criticized our government that turned the country into a religious dictatorship, I also acknowledge that we have a lot of problems in a lot of places. Having said all of that, No American doctor should criticize the health care in my country. I know, our health care may also have problems, but it cannot possibly be as nearly bad as what you have in the US. You people have to consider ''Should I risk dying or should I call an ambulance?'', that's something happens only in the US. My advice to people who consider coming here for health related issues, do your due diligence and get as much information about the doctor as you can, then you should be OK, I am pretty sure, 90% of the time a better doctor will be taking care of you here than what you could get in the US, unless you are super rich.

Go Brian, what a wonderful transformation

I kid you not, the ad I got for this video was about a Turkish clinic offering baldness treatments 😅

Screw the American doctor that hyped up the risks. That doctor in turkey is WAY more experienced that than guy. Not to mention has many of the drugs we take everyday are made in foreign countries. We live in a global economy and going to a place that specializes in this treatment is the right choice. I didnt get surgery and went for a hair system and am very happy with the result.

Turkey is a beautiful country. Could make it a trip, enjoy the sights, as well as seeing a doctor.

He looks great. Glad it worked for him. And he got all of that at a fraction of the cost in the US.

I'm from Georgia, next to Turkey, living in the USA, and I can tell you, US will never come nor Georgia or Turkey standards in the medical field. You stay in our hospitals you feel you are in a five start hotel and constant attention where you won't have to be anxious about the medical bill. Living in the USA last 15 years I can tell you, that the only thing I trust is the doctors who do my physicals, if it comes to something like surgery I always fly back to do it, not only because of the money but professionalism and the standards are higher there.

I did it in Mexico City about 4 years ago... great price, service, and very very happy with the results.

Happy for you Brian, you look great. I am not shy to say had mine done for 12 hours and happy for the result. When I started loosing my hair I felt depress and unhappy till I had it done, my body, my money my choice, I don't really care what others say and by visiting Istanbul I was able to know how good people and hospitable they are.

don’t listen to the butthurt American doctor who charges crackhead fees and is losing a shitton of customers to Turkish doctors. Turkey has some of the best medical universities and training in the world. Dr. Oz is Turkish! It is also a very safe and touristic country so you will be in good hands if you decide to go through this operation in Turkey. My uncle, boss and several friends have done this operation in Turkey with perfect results.

If I was losing my hair, I would shave my head and save money on haircuts, hair tonics and shampoo!

Lets look at dental tourism for example, and just realize that an average Bulgarian, Hungarian, Mexican, Russian, or Colombian (who makes $700-1000 a month) has WAY better teeth than an average American. It's not rocket science or something outside of reach. US is just so insular, so it's hard to realize there is a world beyond. Sure, many things US does way better, but not medical care (in 99% of routine issues). I had my teeth (a crown) messed up by a respectable dentist in Chicago, whom I paid $8000 out of pocket, ended up loosing a tooth and needing an implant, which I got in Mexico City at a state of the art dental office with a US educated dentist, Swiss materials and German equipment for under $2000. Same, I imagine for hair transplants. Let your politicians continue calling you a commie bastard for wanting affordable healthcare for yourself and your kids, as these politicians pocket legalized bribes from the insurance industry.

Turkish hairlines? Im out 😂

There are so many insecure men around. Dudes- just go bald, workout, maybe get some tattoos- own it. Bald is best! I actually was once so afraid of going bald and considered the same thing. Than I shaved my head and even razored it, and it’s magnificent! I loved it so much, I’m getting laser hair removal on my head to slow the growth as much as possible and have the cleanest, baldest head. It’s amazing to wake up every morning!

Went to Istanbul in January 2023 for my hair transplant. Amazing results 13 months later. Cost $3000 all in and I got a vacation out of it. The clinic I went to looked like a typical Canadian hospital. These north American doctors are just pissed they're losing business.

I had hair transplant surgery and eye laser surgery in The Netherlands. Both clinics are filled with Turkish people. They're just very specialised in these fields.

Yes it's safe and I highly recommend to go to Turkey!! I did it back in 2019... 5 years later couldn't be happier with the results. It was about 3x cheaper than doing it here in LA... The clinic I used even covered some of my travel and hotel... Not sure if they do it now though.

I think it's pretty obvious it's a hair transplant. He's happy and he's convinced himself that hair equals confidence then I guess that's okay. He clearly looks happier. The headline makes it sound like he's got some disease that needs to be cured when it's a natural occurrence. It's not like he's dying.

Brian hasn't addressed his veneers

You look great! So happy it worked out so well for you ❤

Great Story!!!! God Bless Brian and the doctor

is usa safe with the mass schootings ?

Happy for Bryan especially for me having a hair problem just happy to see someone get what they wanted!

Every person who went to Turkie for hair transplant recommends it, plus dental and other medical services, I personally went to mexico last year for dental work and I recommend mexico to everyone I know.

I think he got FUT (not FUE). FUT is generally much cheaper in the US as well. While they did show his very impressive results in the front, I am curios to see the scarring in the back? FUT May mean you can’t have very short hair in the back that may reveal the grafting harvesting area and the scar. I’ve seen some very bad and ugly scars from FUT (just people on the street or at the gym). I personally would opt to more advanced FUE harvesting method, preferably with the robot Artas. For more natural look and less scarring (even though scarring can be there as well.. )

I’m beginning to bald and I’m only twenty-two, feel so fortunate these types of operations are out there

I think that damn near every man can pull off a bald head. There's nothing special about Michael Jordan's or Samuel Jackson's bald head. It is just a matter of doing it and letting the world get used to seeing it. The critical part is for the man to get over any insecurities he may have about it. If enough men start rocking bald heads, people will get over it and even embrace it.

Bryan’s journey is absolutely incredible ❤❤❤❤. Listen to yourself always

Turkey is AMAZING for medical & cosmetic surgery!

Some warning is valid but I think a lot doctors in the US unnecessarily bash their foreign counterparts’s skill level because they want to keep their clients who would otherwise seek same medical care at the fraction of the cost

I've been shaving my head since i was 18, but only in my late 30s did i notice i no longer had much to shave up top.

Brian was a great participant in this story. Happy it worked well for you.

$3k vs $30k with the same (if not better) result and I am pretty sure a better service... no brainer.

I’ve followed this guy on his KZfaq channel I was totally rooting for him. This must have been filmed several years ago before the transplant

The most powerful country where there citizens can't afford health .dentists. and surgeries..

Good for him... Looking sharp!!

Had it in 2016.. very good results at a very reasonable price! This particular sector in Turkey had a lot of experience with so so many patients from all around the world.. Men fly to istanbul just to do this..

Man this is like a life overhaul. I love seeing people transform themselves for the better :)

As soon as that guy started running with his dog I just knew his voice would sound exactly like it did

I did my hair 1 year before and it was the best step i have made ever . And now planning to the 2ed in next month to make it more thicker

Had a transplant in turkey at the same clinic in the video in september 2022 and have amazing results. No complaints, amazing results

An American dentist told me I had to remove my tooth due to chronic infection. A Mexican dentist told me to try mouth wash twice a day. It's been 3 years already and I still have my tooth and no infection.

That looks super painful. If it works I want some and this patient looks great with his new hair.

So glad people have more affordable options.

its a good thing that turkys clinic can also be found in the philippines at maybe lower costs..

He looks good 🎉 good for him... O love that he did the research and didnt just go to anybody 😊

I’ve been blessed, relatively speaking. My dad and all my uncles on both sides were bald, so I knew the genetics lottery was not going to work in my favor, but thankfully the onset didn’t occur until my late 30s, and proceeded gradually, starting on the crown. So I was able to make the mental adjustment. I minimize the visual effect by using a modified buzzcut.

Always try medication for 9 months before taking the surgical route. Don’t panic and take ur time doing research and advice.

Any type of alopecia is tough. Scarring alopecia like Lichen Planopilaris is a nightmare.

My old boss had it done and after 10 years he lost most of it and he had a very strange area at the back of his scalp where the hairs were removed. Worst part is that you can still 100% see the plugs and it makes you look vain and insecure that you can't cope, accept and love your true self. He was the nicest guy too. This video should show the back of the head and instead comes off like a commercial.

I can not blame these men who breakdown and cry because their hair is thinning away. It’s horrible! But what is also horrible is the extraordinary amount of money hair transplant doctors charge in the United States compared to Turkey, India, Pakistán, Buenos Aires, Mexico, and Iran. Those countries charge a fraction and the results are usually stellar! But be patient in following their post-surgical treatments and time for it to grow for the optimum results. Turkey’s clinics are quite exemplary, top notch, and worth the plane ride ticket besides those clinics treating you like a king with accommodations and thorough treatment. I recommend getting a hair transplant because your confidence and looks only rise from there!!

Nice to see a positive outcome

It looks great! Don’t you need to keep doing the treatment though? I’ve seen people that have got I done but it starts to thinning again after a while.

Doctors in turkey are amazing

Simply amazing!

Will the same issue happen in the US? Aren't there risks with any surgeries?

In the 90s i was a photographer for a company that did this procedure. It doesnt take that long to perform. It isnt all that complicated. Back , 30 years ago it was about 15000 over 3 sessions. Its relativly safe. Thats not to say i think a non physician should be doing it lol. But 30,000 dollars? Or even 15,000?? Its kind of disgusting to me.

My friend went to Turkey for a hair transplant, and came back with a fantastic head of hair. He said the process is sort of painful,. but the end result is amazing. My friend was in his early 40s ,....& now he looks so much younger with his hair transplant. He said it was so much cheaper in Turkey than in the USA. He himself, was in the medical profession, he has a medical degree earned in the USA. He left the USA nearly bald, he would shave his head, because his hair looked patchy, and like peach fuzz. Now his hair is full and thick. I was impressed. I'm already 70,....and I have lost my hair in front and on the top, but I have thick side hair, and around the back,...I even have a long thick ponytail. I wear a hat all the time. Having hair loss, means you develop a "chrome dome",.....the bald part, the bare skin is shiny,...and I do not like the look of it. But at age 70,....well maybe it is not worth it. I am retired, and not working. No one I know cares,...not my wife or friends. I hate being so vain. But with having hair, you do look younger.

I HAVE DONE work in Turkey, it is so much better than anywhere in Europe and definitely so much better than the US. The hospitals look like 5 star hotels, the staff are amazingly professionakl, the doctors are top notch, the food is amazing, and the price is not a spit in the face.

I had cosmetic surgery in Ankara to remove fat around the eyelids and things went very well. Turkish hospitals are extremely clean and the staff are very efficient. Of course there can be times when go wrong like anywhere else in the world. The only disadvantage after the patient returns home and needs to see his doctor then it might be a costly return

Given his energy a docile, happy go lucky golden retriever is perfect energy match

I lived in Turkey for 5 years , it is one of the best countries in terms of medical esthetics , Hair , teeth , and nose fixing …. Millions go there yearly , and it’s super cheap . What makes a doctor better is practice , well turkish doctors planted hair way more than US ones , so don’t hesitate and go . The US doctors want you to pay 30k instead of 3k ( all included )
