Hi All
just thought I’d get this thread started, as im due for my procedure with Dr Demirsoy on Thursday morning .
I’m currently already in Turkey as my brother lives in Bodrum .I’ve been here around 3 weeks now, luckily I flew out just before they stopped all flights from the UK.
I fly to Istanbul SAW airport on Wednesday morning 8 am. It’s a 1hr flight . Where I will collect my luggage and then go and have a PCR COVID test , in the airport itself . It costs 250 lira . £25..
From checking around places in bodrum, the airport is the cheapest, to get this done .
Muzaffer the rep from the clinic has been in constant contact , with instructions etc. Really good to have that one on one contact with someone before a procedure . It makes the world of difference , rather than to just turning up on your own like my last procedure with cosmedica .
So as I said , I’ve had a HT before in Turkey with a clinic called Cosmedica in Istanbul . I was determined to have a ht and was on a limited budget. I didn’t know what to expect. It went against all my instincts and years of research into ht , but I just quite simply had enough. I had seen quite a few examples online and decided to go for it. I paid £1700 euros. It went well. I had good growth , I couldn’t tell you how many grafts I had, or quite frankly who operated on me. The whole thing seemed totally unorganised , but it somehow all came together and worked . It has given me my contact confidence back, made me look younger, and I will always be great full to them for that.
That was 5 years ago, at 35 years old . Im 41 in 2 weeks . So I’ve given enough time between to the two procedures , to see what my expectations and goals are now .
So I’ve now decided on my second and more than likely will be my last procedure.
As goid as the Cosmedica Clinic procedure was, this going to be my last ht and I now need the skill and artistry of a great surgeon like Dr Demirsoy to make the extractions and incisions. Cosmedica did slightly over harvest one side , so I need his expertise and experience to make sure everything looks natural on not only the incision side but the donor itself. I’m not sure what my donor area can produce , from looking at my photos Dr Demirsoy believes 2500-3000 but I’m happy with anything above 2000, as I’m looking mainly at thickening things up. My expectations are realistic, so I’m just going to let him decide abs I’m going to go along with that.
So I will keep this thread updated once I get to the airport and hotel .
Since the age of 20 I was always looking at ht as that’s when I started to thin. I even went through with “standbystrand” with advanced hair studio , which they shaved my head of decent healthy hair and placed which can only be described as a dead cat on my head ( wig) to the tune of 3000 pounds . That came off immediately that night , abs went on a minoxidil programme . I constantly looked at UK clinics as that was all that was really available then , no such thing as fue then. Went to many consultations around London . Thankfully I never got around to having a ht then, although I did actually book a procedure but never went through with it , thanks to joining a hair loss forum called SHLN which no longer exists and I believe @Bigmac was a member of.
Anyway Thanks for reading. Update soon
