Maral Hair Clinic 4250 FUE: Still have it - 21 month update

WORTH IT$2,350
Best holiday ever, since my souvenir is a new hairline! Thanks Maral Klinik team and Dr Maral.
Everything on my trip ran as advertised, as well as a holiday/tourism venture could be.
The bonus was the AMAZING camaraderie of my fellow visitors/clients - it was great to hang out and learn from you.
If you are wondering about these reviews - all I can say is that at the Levent Otel, half the people were pre- or post visit to Dr Maral and Maral Klinik.
This is a truly wonderful thing to do - just keep your ears and mind (scalp?????) open.
My experience at Maral Klinik is exactly as per the reviews - calm, friendlt, clean, well run, relaxing. The clinic is tucked into a local shop front/cafe area opposite a micro size square. Just off the main business street.
Since the hotel is very close to the Levent subway it's possible to get transport to the historic Hippodrome / Blue Mosque / Sultan Ahmed area which is approximately 8km away.
Pics before and after are coming soon.
It is Day 8 at the time of my first post and a lot of scabs have come off in the shower.
I have run a few 10k+ runs since the op and aside from the usual reported post op symptoms, there is very little downside at all.
Thanks to everyone who has supported my latest adventure!

I had hoped to get more grafts harvested but as you can see in the pic, graft# is dependent on head size, available area and head size also means more are needed for full coverage!

Thanks for your ongoing messages and support Derek.
I'll post an update once I'm back in Ireland. Two weeks after surgery I'm back to normal. The scabs are all gone as well as the redness and swelling is long gone. Donor area is.ok too.

Details for tourists (and a hair saving tip)
Hakan collected me at IST Atatürk arrivals - a kind and genuine man who speaks six languages. A gentleman!
If you need cash there is an ATM machine near the entry to the baggage carousel area. You can get euro.
Maral Klinik takes blue chip western currencies equivalent to the 2100€ fee.
IST airport is a long drive from the business district, so expect up to a 1hr drive outside peak times. Try to avoid peak hours since travel time could triple.
I recommend getting some Turkish Lira at the airport as the hotel staff will expect a tip. It would be good to tip the driver too. Food is very good value and smaller places may only take cash (most branded places will take cards too).
If you are fairly tall and you are sent to Levent Otel, make sure that you get a room NOT on the fourth floor. This is a risky floor since light fittings on the top/4th floor are low and are hazardous to hair grafts.
I was jetlagged and awoke at 3am (since my flight and connections totalled 21hrs), so went for a long run from 4am.
At that hour there's little or no people around, so you have the city to yourself.

Nice write-ups Aussie Bee. I got a 4th floor room at Levent H. with the low ceilings and banged my head on the first night :( Doesn't seem to have done any long term damage as far as I can tell though. Good job with getting 4250 grafts. In 6 months time you'll look completely different!

Thanks, HairFlick. I will be in London, sightseeing, Thursday to Sunday next week.
Thanks for your own very informative updates.
I already look a bit (oddly) different this week but the sides and back have regrown, so I'm hoping I'll be free of the remaining scabs in the next few days, then over to London for four days.

No worries m8. Let me know if you fancy blowing the froth off a couple and swapping Maral experiences when you are here. I work close to London Bridge station SE1 if that's anywhere near where you are staying or visiting on the Thurs or Fri. Cheers.

Hi mate good stuff so much info thanks, iv got a question did you take the money with you or did or did you change it while you was out in turkey

I was asked to bring euro. I brought 2/3 with me and took out the remainder at the airport ATM.
There is probably a daily ATM limit so check you can get out what you need. The clinic could advise if they take your currency.
I didn't know they would take AUD$ but I asked Sennur and she said yes.

Roger that. Weather here is unusually hot. Spent the afternoon in riverside bars around Shakespeare Globe theatre. Hopefully the good weather will last till you get here. Drop me a line if you're free.

We had a fantastic time over four days here in London.
Westminster tour was my favourite part.
Although let me admit Modball rally was my real thrill!
