Honest Approach

Like with most people I was so confused and didn't know what is the best option for me. I choose Dr Ali Emre K because he was the only doctor I found that could do the FUT method (Strip) and he did most of the survey himself. Omer was my first point of contact and he provided me with the initial re-assurance I needed. Quality was the most important factor for me and as FUT offers around 20% better quality grafts I opted for this procedure, although Dr Ali Emre does both FUT and FUE. Dr Ali Emre, designs the hairline, removes the strip and makes the incistions for the hairs. The technicians then obtains the initial hairs strip and then inserts the hairs. I have to say I was 'bricking it' not knowing whether he was genuine whether the reviews were genuine. But I have to say I was pleasantly surprised given that I am so fussy. In order for you to have a consultation you need to arrive in Turkey a day before preferably before 4:00pm to have a consultation. I had already booked my tickets so had the consultation via whatsapps instead, which I know was a bit brave. But it just gave me some re-assurance that he was genuine. The day of the operation I was really nervous, Gokce picked me up (she was really helpful) and when I have arrived Dr Ali Emre put me at ease. He asked me what I wanted and he was very honest and advised what would be best for me rather what would be best for him or is practice and he advised me accordingly. The clinic although in a residence complex is fully equipped and very clean. Be prepared for a long day and if you do, then you will be able to manage it much better. I closed my eyes and thought of England. Some people don't like the fact that technicians are talking but to be honest I don't mind that at all, as it must be a long day for them too and the less bored they are, they are more likely to take their time and do a better job. I originally planned to go on my own, but my wife insisted she need to come along, and I am glad she did. So I would recommend to come with someone just for peace of mind, whether it is a friend, brother, or a sister. The hotel was really good, nice food and was next door to the clinic which was very handy. There were others who had hair transplants there so you didn't feel out of place. It also had a shopping complex next door (which kept my wife occupied), with a large food court upstairs! I would also recommend to stay a couple days after the procedure as the 48 hours after the procedure is the most crucial and you do not want to have an accident and you. The procedure was painless, which I was pleased about, the only part where there was some pain was with the anaesthetic in the front of my head but that was minimum and lasted seconds. You have painkillers to take so I felt no pain, just some itchiness afterwards. Sleeping was the worse part not because of the pain but simply not wanting to touch my new hair so slept on my back which was uncomfortable. I am taking off the head band tomorrow and then a few days later the staples so I will be home and dry. Then it is just waiting for the results. The problem I found was that it is difficult to get information on how the procedures have worked because obviously people are conscious of sharing images about a very sensitive subject. Unfortunately, I am no different but I will provide 6 monthly, 9 monthly and a 12 month updates. However, I have stated that if someone wants to have a chat about the experience if I am given their number I will contact them to answer anything the above didn't cover.
