WORTH IT$2,298
I had my operation on Tuesday 26th October 15 with Dr Kazim Sipahi, so far I am chuffed to bits, my crown area and frontal were covered with 5500 grafts. The procedure was very straight forward and I have never felt so relaxed! The anesthetic injections were a bit uncomfortable but certainly not painful. The day starts off with pre op blood tests (HIV and HEP B&C) then the extraction from doner area then after lunch they do the transplant of grafts.
My donor area is a bit sore but this will heal within 15 days and I was given all my post op care and shampoos etc..
I can't wait to see my new look when my hair grows. If anyone has any questions please feel free to contact me.

Hope you don't mind me asking but do you think they would be okay for other cosmetic surgeries?

I'm looking to go to Longevita and see Dr Kazim Sipahi, is he good? I been told he does part of the FUE and then leaves the other half for someone else to do! is that the case? hows the healing process going for you? It looks pretty good

Hi Chris, I'm thinking of having FUE done with Longevita, have you got any recent pics and how bad if any is the scarring at your donor area ?as I want to keep my hair shaved. Would you still recommend Longevita ?

Seems to be healing nicely particularly the donor area where I suffered a lot of bleeding after the bandage was taken away...

Hi Afrim,
I paid with uk money. Everything was brilliant, the op was very straight forward and nothing to worry about. I kept the hat on they gave me at the clinic on the plane until I got home, I was a bit self conscious of the way I looked. I would highly recommend it, like I said there is nothing you need to worry about. I found the procedure quite relaxing. Best of luck with your transplant.

4 month update
Sorry I haven't updated in a while! This is me at month 4. I'm thrilled with the progress so far, the front has really started to thicken out over the last month or so and the crown also. I've been using Minoxidil and also Jojoba oil mixed with Rosemary thyme and lavender as an overnight soak, I'm also using Alpecin caffeine shampoo.. any questions please don't hesitate to contact me.

Looks good. I'm just interested why you chose this clinic over the others.
February 28, 2016
Because a friend of mine had his done there and also because of the price. There are so many clinics in Turkey to chose from and I believe I made the right choice
