HI Guys!
I have returned from turkey after a 3500 graft fue, with dr acar @ Cosmedica. I am about 3 weeks post-surgery now and healing well. I’ll be documenting my results over the coming months so stay tuned for pics.
The trip/surgery
Pros
o Really looked after. Nice hotel, transfers and communication
o Clean modern clinic, friendly staff
o Efficient procedure, no issues
o Good aftercare instructions, medication and communication
o Excellent UK rep – GMH
Cons
o Feels a little rushed at times
o Minimal time with dr acar
o They promote needle free anaesthetic – this is a lie. I had about 10 injections
o Poor communication from the technicians
3500 grafts were transplanted to my front and crown area. This is 1000 more grafts than what any uk dr advised. Turkish dr’s seem to have much higher graft counts. I think this is a combination of over harvesting, but also a trend thing – they want to show value for money by extracting higher volumes for the fixed package cost. Or they are not telling the truth and transplanting a lower number. Either way I am cautious about my donor area now and will consider my next move very carefully.
Overall the experience was a good one. ultimately it comes down to the results and I will see how these turn out over the coming months. I have attached multiple pics, pre and post-surgery, donor area 3 days post and 1-week post from multiple angles. I will continue to update this thread with my progress.
Finger crossed for a good result
