Hey everyone. So briefly, my hair started to go when i was about 21 (29 now). After my 26th birthday i completely shaved it off. Always had my hair short so shaving it off wasn't too much of a problem really. Why i decided to do a procedure? Well i just hate shaving my head every 6 days, otherwise it just looks untidy. So anyway, i was saving money to go away with my girlfriend for christmass and then we fell out massively, so i found myself with couple of grand that were really burning my pocket. I have been checking out this forum for years. Came across MickeyBlueEyes post about his experience with Cosmedica. Got in touch with them and booked my flight, all in all one week in advance. Did i do my research, nah, not really apart from mickeys post. I know it is silly but we all learn from our mistakes. Anyway flew in. Got picked up from the airport. Hotel was ok, room comfy and pimped out bed with neon lights. In the morning me and couple of other guys got picked up by a technitian. Guy could not speak english to save his life. Drove in a cab through a mad traffic of Istanbul (they must have car crashes on daily basis there). The journey took about 20 or so min.
Got off at the massive medical centre. Anyway the doctor only drew a hairline and he didn't follow my natural hairline. All in all with a break procedure took 6 or so hours, i think i had between 3500 and 4000 grafts. The whole procedure was done entirely by technicians and the good doctor did nothing but take my money 1900 euros. I didn't sleep at all before the procedure so i passed out few times while they plucked my hair away. Under no circumstances have a kebab from the hotel, was vomoting all night and half a day and for the next three weeks i had shits (sorry for the language). Lost about 12 kg of weight. There is a really nice kebab place a minute away from the hotel, if you are hungry eat over ther. The breakfast was good though so don't worry about that. Next day i got a cab and drove back to the medical centre where i payed 300 euros for load of shampoo, biotin tablets and saw palmetto. Barely standing on my two feet and trying not to vomit in good doctors face i picked up my shampoo and meds, however forgot the warranty certificate.
Took a cab to the airport and was happy to be flying back to UK. Now i am week short of two months, can see few hairs braking through. Expectations? Well if i have my hairline back i will be happy. I just went there with no research or expectations. Won't have any expectations either, whay ever happens will happen. If it works good on me if it doesn't then i will learn from my mistake and maybe save up and do procedure with a known doctor. Donor area is still red and slightly numb and so is recipient area. I think it is normal because it still healing and i have a fair and sensitive skin. Find the photos attached. Pre procedure, straight after and a week short of two months
