Hi I’m Pete from Devon in the UK and I had my hair transplant surgery October 29th 2018 and this what it was like. When I was looking into having it done abroad it was quite daunting, the thought of going to a place that I didn’t know the language made me quite apprehensive and the fact that it was all arranged over WhatsApp raised questions in my mind to how legitimate the service would be. Now looking back, it’s quite cool how chilled the clinic were about it, and with good reason as they do a lot of these procedures each week, I booked it with Thuraya on the Thursday and had the operation on the Monday! I was sent a reference number that someone was going to be holding up when I left the airport in Istanbul which they were and I was taken to my hotel and checked in hassel free. When I got to the hospital someone met me as I was getting dropped off by the pre arranged transport and took me to the clinic floor, they explained the operation to me and after care products before the op. The operation I will honestly say wasn’t a pain free experience, It was bareable but I could definitely feel it, probably the same pain level as a tattoo. The following days there were quite uncomfortable as you would expect really from having that surgery, it was sore but mine maybe worse than most people’s as I opted not to take any painkillers for personal reasons, I had a rest day after the operation then they arranged me to go back in a couple more times for final check ups and to recieve the after care products and instructions before flying home. It took about 2 weeks after arriving home for it heal and for it to be comfortable sleeping with the pressure on the back of my head. I think the experience I had was great really, everything ran smoothly, they arranged everything to be done efficiently and when I asked to have antibiotics IV rather than take the tablets post op because of my weak stomach they sorted that for me too. It cost about £3000 with a Years after care, and I’m now 3 months on from the operation and my hair already has given me so much more confidence! In England you could triple that figure probably! You have to be realistic, surgery is going to be sore afterwards for a while but I can honestly say I would highly recommend this clinic to anyone, even after I was home for a month and a half I got the occasional message to see how it was going and when I had questions i just asked Thuraya over WhatsApp and as always she was very friendly and answered them all for me. Great friendly service at a great price too. 😆
