A Fine Place, Great Doctor, Lovely Staff - Turkey

My motivation for coming here is that I am a musician, and we can't have bald musicians can we, they're not role models, they're pests.

I started losing my hair a few years ago, six to be precise and although it was far from drastic, and expensive haircuts could cover it up, it became an obsession.

I had developed a small bald spot, and the longer my hair grew, the worse it looked, I was also receding, not dramatically but enough to annoy and go to bed at night praying for the hair I had when I was thirty.

So, I chose Dr MARAL and his MARAL Klinik.

I send the Dr MARAL five of six revealing pictures and the price based on the pictures was €1900, as I had stage 3 baldness I think, I forget the levels but midly bald.

This was for unlimited grafts.

I booked my flight to Ataturk airport, flying from Edinburgh, Scotland. I was advised to book and send the details and space would be made, so I did and it was.

I flew out on Friday. I was picked up at the airport, taken to my hotel and told I would be picked up the next morning at nine thirty, which I was.

I arrived and met Dr MARAL, we went through a few details about my hairline and agreed that a natural one would be best.

i went in to the surgery, was given injections, follicles were taken which amounted to 3500.

1200 were placed in my bald spot, and the rest distributed to my receding hairline as well as a lower hairline, not too low, but back to the way it would have been in my prime.

It took six hours with an amazing lunch in the middle, I watched television via a remote control making sure to avoid Turkish Pop Music, and three technicians went to work, one on each side of the receding hairline and the other dealing with the bald spot. Dr MARAL would come in here and then to oversee things then when it was done I was given three boxes of medicine, an inflatable neck brace thing and instructions on convalescing

I didn't sleep at all, I can't sleep in an upright, semi seated manner, I can't sleep on planes or trains and in cars, but I knew this so I just watched television, browsed the Internet and before I knew it, it was breakfast time, I managed two hours sleep after breakfast for some strange reason then the desk guy called to say my man from the Klinik was there to take me to see Dr MARAL as agreed the day before.

I went to the clinic, was given shampoos and lotions, had my dressing removed, and I was on my way to the airport via the man with the car. The flight left at half twelve, I was back a few hours ago and that's as they say is that, easy.

So, if you're bald or like me, slightly bald, get to Dr Maral.

I pleased with the results, it'll work out well, it's quick and easy, and there's no hassle at all.

Thank you all at thenclinic and thank you for reading.

Andrew.



I flew out on Friday via Turkish Airways, which are excellent, was picked

As one can see, the hair transplant has gone very well thus far and at the very worst, I won't look any worse.

I have not touched the hair as yet and will wait a few days before I wash it.

I'm still quite red, and it's probably noticeable that I've had some sort of transplant but I'm wearing a hat most days when I'm out.
I don't really know what's going on.m I've had some shock loss but still have quite a lot of the transplanted hairs in place. They may be invisible to see but I can certainly feel them.
My hair is very uneven which is normal I suppose. The part above the diner area is much thicker that the donor area for obvious reasons so it's a bit disjointed but that's cool.
It feels like three months rather than three weeks, dur to excitement and expectation, it's a long wait but time passes regardless of what you do with your time and my hair growth is going forwards instead of backwards.
I do t and won't use any medicines such as Regaine as its a bit hit and miss as well as a lifelong habit which you can't stop, so I'm alright with that.
I use Banana Boat Aloe Vera to take away some of the redness, it's a slow process.
At the end of the day, my hair won't be any worse so [RS bleep] it, who knows what the next year will bring. hair one would hope, and [RS bleep] lots of it.
