Hair Transplant Nov 2024
Hi All, I wanted to share my HT recent experience so far. I decided to have Dr. Ilhan Serdaroglu do my surgery in Istanbul. I had surgery on 25-NOV-2024. The evaluations were done by the Doctor. I never talked with any marketer. I have looked into many other clinics though. I did not like the given options with prices like many clinics do for having a doctor or technicians doing the surgery. I avoided the most expensive and the cheapest in the area. I learned that there is no way for one person to do the whole surgery. A surgeon with his team is needed. I chose one team and one doctor.. Dr. Ilhan recommended doing the front, front sides and the crown with no subsequent surgeries needed. The surgery was done in his clinic. All the stuff made me feel comfortable. There was noone else having the surgery that day but me. Dr. Ilhan did the extractions. Most doctors do incisions but all the parts like extractions, incisions and implants are important Extractions taking the longest and incisions taking the shortest time. Dr. Ilhan was present most of the time and his team did the incisions and implants. The anesthesia shots were somewhat painful. I did not feel any pain afterwards. I had a checkup the 1st day after the surgery due to a minor incident with my head touching a lamp (I was so mad at myself, Doctor answered my call at night). Doctor does not expect issues but if he offered corrections at no expense. The wash was done on 2nd day after the surgery. I left Istanbul on 3rd day after the surgery. I got meds from the Doctor on the day of the surgery: farmisol antiseptic, crebros antihistamine, navaritis voltaren, prednol. I later purchased from his clinic Trixowell shampoo, serum and tables for 6 months supply. I have been on finasteride for years too.
I stayed at Elite Grand Istanbul Kuckyali for 4 nights ariving the night before the surgery. I would recommend minimum 3 nights. I rented a car from IST(inexpensive) but I have not used it to go to the clinic and back. Uber/yellow taxis are inexpensive, and you do not have to deal with the parking which is a challenge. The hotel was nice (recommend ocean view) with a Hilltown mall within walking distance (10 -15 min).
I have exchanged emails with Dr. Ilhan after the surgery with questions and follow ups. He is very honest and supportive. He offered small corrections of temple areas if I do not like the results.
I am attaching some pics before the surgery and 2 weeks after the surgery.
Let me know if you have questions.
Cheers,
Tomek
