Thanks for your comment alico let me explain how I decided to go and what made me to go there.
I was seeking on internet which is the best clinic about Hair Transplantation and then I did online consultation for each clinic maybe more than 10 clinics I had online consultation some of them called me some of them not respond anyway after the consultation they offer me different grafts count different payment I was so confused One day I was talking with my friend on the internet who he is living in ANTALYA I asked him to search Hakan DOGANAY such as he went to clinic see the people and how they doing ? Is it healthy clinic? Plenty of investigation that I asked him to do.
My friend has been already explained to my condition to Hakan DOGANAY that I want to do HT. One day I got e-mail from H.DOGANAY that he wants see my pictures. After that I send them to his e-mail address after a while I got replied with solution which means that how many grafts that I need to have to implant it was between 3750-4000 grafts so I said okey than after two months I got an appointment but I was so nerves and exciting thinking about that is it going to be work or is it going to be fail plenty question was in my mind anyway also I was not happy with my thinning hair the only way can do HT. I booked flight to go to ANTALYA once I arrived there was a driver who was waiting for picking me up from the airport than I reached to clinic and met the personnel I got some question such as any illness or any chronic illness and if I taking any medicine something like that I said I am okey no medicine no any illness.
I haven t had breakfast before operation they took my pictures and I fill up forms which is about my address and my name bla bla ¦ And waiting for doctor and he came we talked about process he explained and also encourage me. All this before HT still have to change to cancel my HT operation I was asking myself just let him to do his job and we will see the result anyway they shaved my hair for operation and took another pictures.
I was ready for operation the nurse took me to operation room and first operation was extracting the grafts from my donor area of course I got anesthesia and did not feel anything, first day they extracted about 2050 grafts as soon as extracting process finished they wrapped around my head with a bandage I just took 10 minutes break and next step was implanting process. The doctor came and he also did anesthesia I just got hurt a few injection the rest noting I couldn t feel any pain, there were 3 nurses working for placing the graft inside to needle the needle was attached to like pen they called choi implanter.
I think there were more than 30 pens (choi implanter) which were using for my operation the doctor was so fast, sometimes he was waiting for nurses that make grafts ready for implanting. Doctor started to implant from my front area but I could not see and feel which side I asked him what is the first area will be fill up he said that he was creating my hairline with single grafts to achieve natural appearance I said okay.
My first day was so exciting finally my first day finished I think ıt took about 4 hours once they finished I rest about 15 minutes and then they treat a juice and some cake I eat them and felt better after that they took me my room for resting. Second day was the same but they extract about 2450 grafts totally the doctor implant about 4500 grafts I was considering that I was told I need only 4000 grafts why they implanted 4500 grafts I thought they will charge me more money but I was wrong they charge me 4000 grafts and I was happy with that.
They took last photos after operation and the doctor came to me and explained what I need to do after operation He gave me piece of paper. It has been written procedure of 15 days during recovery I got some pills for reduce to swelling and pain killer also he advised me that I can use proscar and Minoxil 5% after a month.
That s all that what I did in the clinic, after that I was washing my head three times a day but before washing I used to applying lotion about 15 minutes to soften wounds.
I follow the procedure and all wound gone my head was full of hair until shock loss but not all of them maybe 50 percent was not loss, after 3 months I could see small hairs are growing up but it was itching I like to touch those little hair and makes me feel good after 6 months there was huge different I can combing my hair also give shape it was wonderful feeling Now I am still happy with my hair.
Before operation it was very big problem for me I did not trust myself also I was feel shame to in front of people.
