Hi, im a 28 year old male and ive always been...
WORTH IT$2,900
Hi, im a 28 year old male and ive always been concerned about losing my hair, as both my father and mothers father lost their hair by their early to mid 30's. My receding hairline has always been at the forefront of my insecurities. Despite not being completely bald, I feel that inevitable baldness is just around the corner for myself. I have had physicians here in Canada call me a "hairwatcher", which I am guilty of, as I do admire the hair of other men, as I have always felt a bit of a inferiority complex in that sense. I personally believe that our insecurities hinder us from living the happy confident lives we deserve. I feel that our insecurities weigh heavily on our day-to-day lives, and it is our responsibility to ourselves to either make peace with them or change them, in an effort to better ourselves. Thanks to Dr. Turgul Maral and his team, im hoping finally deal with my insecurities, as I haven't been able to simply let nature run its course. With respect to the procedure, I am hoping to improve my hairline and to add some density to my thinning areas.

Good luck. Long flight. I will be taking the same route. Turkish airlines or Air Canada?

How was the flight? How are you doing? Looks like you upgraded to a premium economy space, smart move. I am travelling Turkish Airlines from YYZ->IST and Air Canada IST-YYZ.

Good luck. Another Canadian here who is eyeing up the same clinic and will be leaving from the same airport. I'd be greatful if you include as many details as possible. I hope it goes smooth!

arrived and completed surgery!
Came in Thursday afternoon and I was scheduled in, for Friday 9am. I wanted to postpone so that I could have a Friday night to roam around istanbul without a bandage on my head but I went with their scheduling anyway. I did however grab dinner with a couple I met and it was excellent, nice view, great foos walked around the bosphorus a little... anyway more details
The doctor: for personable, honest, and we'll educated
The staff: absolutely amazing, they will be performing your surgery and each has a minimum of 5+ years experience, the head technician 'nur' I believe has 10 years exp and is the only 1 who opens up the channels where the hair will be inserted... Daria, douygu and Arkan did the bulk of the work for me, very good vibe they have and it's nice to see a happy staff.
Apparently there are 250 clinics in istanbul who do this particular surgery, it has become so common that I could confidently say this is global HT central... maral does 4-6 HT Per day... I've met people from ages 25-55, from France, Germany, UK, America, and hong kong China. And everyone has great feedback

Thanks for the compliment! The hairline always bugged me, and it took away from my self confidence, but it's coming along nicely and I'm definitely happier!

I'm looking to schedule a flight from Philadelphia and prices vary greatly. How many nights would you suggest staying in Istanbul? I'm thinking 3 nights would suffice to get things done?
January 6, 2016
I stayed for 4 nights during the fall... I don't know how cold the winters are but I'd definitely recommend staying at least 3 nights or at least having 2-3 full days to roam the city... i spent a day wallong the old quarters and it's a beautiful historic place, and you'd be missing out if you don't stay long enough... I'd recommend staying at least 4-5 nights and enjoying the culture.... my trip after ALL my expenses was $4250... I ate like a king, took cabs everywhere, bought a painting and some souvenirs, walked around the city and visited historic places, took a boat ride, and I ate and had drinks at some fancy places... and I tipped everyone
