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

[@jaimerodriguez1550]

I realized that when I went to Tijuana after purchasing my medication at the 10th of the price. I went to a restroom across the street from the pharmacy and I realized, the American Health Care System is a scam.

[@Divertimento2]

@@jaimerodriguez1550You see the same affordable prices in the EU. The problem in the US is that there's not a higher power (i.e. the government) negotiating the prices down. That's why big pharma in the US can raise the prices however they see fit forming oligopolies (they only call it a price cartel after they've been sentenced by a court, but not with the corrupt US justice system). Just look at insulin: 90 % of all insulin comes from 3 companies (Eli Lilly, Sanofi, and Novo Nordisk) and insulin prices have gone up 10 times from 96 to 2016, even though the patents have long expired. Additionally, the entire health care industry is run by the insurance companies, which is why something can cost 6000 USD to someone without insurance and 100 USD to someone with one. The entire system is corrupted through and through.

[@doggygaming950]

It really makes you wonder whe American companies sell their drugs to non Americans for a small fraction of the price. Americans are literally subsidizing foreigners Healthcare at our expense.

Great state of the art facility, and transportation back & forth everywhere. I also got a tour guide as well that showed me around. My results has me looking at least 15years younger and I am now 40. Here in the states they are doing horrible jobs and are asking for 4x the price. Clinics in turkey are doing so many procedures that they are good at what they do. The techs are even better bc they do all the work and it’s usually 2 techs working on you at a time I know 10’people personally that went and everyone looks great.

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.

[@cemdursun]

As a Turk I wouldn't mention Dr. Öz to praise Turkish doctors. That man sold his soul to who knows what but definitely something

[@texasdude1]

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.

[@pavelg4990]

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.

[@Davett53]

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.

[@vj6024]

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!

[@bernnyfelix7565]

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

[@randomname9758]

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.

[@richierichit]

Yeah. I'm shocked by all the comments saying it looks so great. At first glance, it is a good amount of hair considering what he started with, but when you really look at it, it's very thin and you can see right through it -- and that's not even in direct sunlight. I think he'll mostly just look like a middle-aged guy with...thinning hair. But I guess that's better than nothing?

[@emreylmaz4533]

I am a turkish man who had hair transplant exactly 1 month ago. That doctor is BULLSHITTING. No one is promising infinite grefts and yes it is 95% pain free. I went for a cheap option and it all work fine. But if I was a tourist I would go for the expensive option for more comfort. The reason it is cheap is because of the value of lira. 1$=31₺. That means the dollar just worth more. Not only hairtransplant, but anything that is being produced in Turkey is cheap because of that.

[@maximusaugustus6823]

USA is insanely expensive, I would go to Turkey if I wanted to have one but I am 62 and I don't give a rat's ass about hair anymore, I love the bald, just like Larry David says.

[@marklord7614]

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.

[@HT_LBC]

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

[@firstlast1947]

They left out Jason Statham. That guy rocks a bald head like nobody's business.

[@aye3678]

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.

[@gurhanweyrah3930]

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

[@TheHamburgler123]

Exactly. Same goes for things like dental tourism. There are clinics around the world with elite levels of expertise, equipment and facilities that charge a fraction of what they do in the US. The US-based providers just don't want to lose out on business.

[@terryko584]

[@UnpwnedSoldier]

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.

[@UnpwnedSoldier]

Also, just checked this "non-profit" website and no doctor of the clinic where I went here in The Netherlands was listed. Definitely pay to play. These people should be ashamed

[@thewedge8823]

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.

[@sfdudeca]

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!!

[@vanessac1965]

As a woman I can personally say if a bald man looks fit and has a nice muscular build, he's definitely more attractive than a guy with a full head of hair and an unfit body.

[@Resmith18SR]

That degree behind the U.S. surgeon is what you're paying for when you pay for surgery in the U.S. A medical degree in America is a license to charge whatever you can get away with.

[@diggingmystyle]

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.

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

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.

I started losing my hair when I was 18 and in the Army. I thought I might have malaria, so I went on Sick Call and the doctor said that I simply had Male Pattern Baldness. I came home from the Army and found that girls under 30 thought I looked too old for them to date even though I was only 20 by that time. I was 35-40 years old before I was able to start dating women around my own age and most of them had plenty of baggage as a bunch of kids and a hatred of men. So, baldness really did have quite an effect on my life. Now I am 70 years old and ironically, I look much younger than my age and there are plenty of women my age wanting to date me.
