Had surgery at dr Maral clinic in Istanbul 2 days ago
Very positive experience righti from the beginning . Was picked up at the airport and taken to hotel. Hotel is very basic but Adequate
Driver returned following morning to take me to the clinic
Met with staff and dr Maral
Found all individuals to be professional ,friendly and skilled in their functions . Building itself is modern and spotlessly clean
Procedure went well. Some pain while the freezing injections being done but this to be expected
I and very happy with the results. I realize it's early yet but would highly recommend the procedure and this facility to anyone considering the surgery. My only regret is o waited as long as I did

Congrats buddy... Looks like they've done a cracking job! I'm off in 2 weeks and can't wait.

The hotel he offers on his website looks like a 4/5 star. Your the 3rd person to say You were booked in a basic hotel. What was the name of it please?
December 2, 2015
The Rose hotel
You can see it's gone through a renovation in the last few years but it's just
Basic. To be honest if you taking the family for a vacation no. But for the intended purpose. It's adequate
December 2, 2015
But top recommendation for the clinic and its staff
Awsome group. You will be pleased
December 2, 2015
You look awesome, how many grafts?
December 2, 2015
4660. Ya I'm pleased with the work they did. They put in a long day on me
December 2, 2015
Nice, did you research on other HT doctors in Istanbul before you go?
thanks!!
December 2, 2015
Ya looked at a couple others. Choices can be confusing. Very happy with the choice o made
December 2, 2015
thx, just sent you a PM
December 3, 2015
Forgive my ignorance, but can you explain each photo? Before? After? Food or grafts? Thanks.
December 3, 2015
Ya sure. I inserted them badly and not sure how to correct that so here goes
The first two pics are post surgery. The side of my head show where the grafts where harvested from
The pic showing the top of my head of course is the recipient area. The next group
December 3, 2015
The next group of pics is pre op. Pretty straight forward. I'm pleased with results so far. And very happy with the clinic I chose
I'm home and have emailed them a few times with questions and always have a fast resply

How many grafts did you receive? I'm 54 and your head looks pretty much like mine.

Keep hair short
Just a preference. Hair starting to thicken up. Lol. Feel like I'm trying to do a comb over when it's longer so prefer to keep it short
Very satisfied with current growth

Someone asked me the cost in Canadian dollars. I think my initial post was wrong
I paid 2000 euros. Which with the exchange at the time I think was 2900 Canadian dollars
April 17, 2016
end of 4th month, it looks good enough for that time, I hope to see your progress a few weeks later, good luck, I ll be in Maral Klinik for my operation next week
April 19, 2016
I'm pleased with the work they did Bunch of guys from work planning on going now. They waiting till I hit the 9 month mark but I can see them getting excited with the progress lol
April 24, 2016
Hi. Looks like great progress.

How long do you think it took before the donor site looked "normal" again? I'm thinking of going for FUE but paranoid about the donor site looking too thin even after the 3 weeks I'm planning on taking off work.
Thanks.
April 24, 2016
I don't think you have anything to worry about. My donor area filled in really quickly. Three weeks will be more than enough for that area to heal and look normal again Funny enough but I recall my wife commenting on just how fast the donor areas became unnoticable
