That’s a very good result.
Was your hair bad before you got it!
Any result I see on YouTube/forums from turkey seem to be all very good.
It seems most of the bad results are coming from the uk and your spending more money.
Was it awkward flying home being at airports with all the scabs ?
And how did u manage spraying on the stuff on your head when u were flying/ waiting for the flight ?
Hi Coady,
Yes for me my hair was bad as shown in the earlier post i sent to you, you can see my before pics where i have drawn the line on my head to see where i wanted my new hairline. Yes thats what i saw too and to be honest even when i went for a few consultations in the UK to a few hair clinics, they all really told me horror stories when i even mentioned Turkey.
Usually in my experience if they are over selling something its usually the opposite and these clinics were SHOOCK of anything to do with turkey, so that made me curious is finding out, and again its the best thing i did.
ok now to your questions, was it awkward? nope in turkey me and my friend went to the shopping malls with fully bandaged up scalps after the first day and no1 really looked twice as there were soo many other people walking around with bandaged heads also. Its really popular over there that no1 even looks at you weird or asks whats that. so that made us feel comfortable.
we only water they give you to spray on your scalp after you leave and that can wait whilst your on the flight and until you get home.
Here is the process for turkey so you know what to expect and it might help you so i never knew what i was guna expect.
-Youll talk to someone on whatsapp from turkey whilst your here in the UK and he will tell you everything and ask you to book your flight and then send him the flight confirmation and then he will book you in for that day but he will send you a contract so you know its all official (no money gets sent to them until your there infront of them so dont worry).
-Once your on your way youll still be talking to him all the way and he speaks very very good english his name was Osman when i went, He will pick you up from the airport holding a card with your name on it and still calling you on whatsapp.
-Depending on the time he will take you to the hotel (if late) or surgery if early.
-Once at the surgery you will get assessed by the doctor Sule (the woman in the picture i sent you with the surgeons) and she will give you a marker and ask you to draw on your scalp where youll your hailine and how many grafts youll need what she thinks the best amount would be. She is acurate with this and wants to do a good job as she will probably post you on her FB or Insta to show people of her work (you can ask not to if you dont want to so dont worry either).
-After youve been assessed and your both happy with where your hairline will be thats when the money gets paid through card (which is safer just so its traced) and then they get you prepped for surgery.
-Now i think you know how the surgery goes down. Mine took about 7 hours and my friends took 9-10 hours as he had 5000 Grafts. I was booked in for 3000 grafts but whilst she was doing the surgery she said she wants to add another 200 as she wasnt happy with the thickness in the middle of my head so i said yes and she added them at no extra cost.
-After surgery they drove us back to the hotel and said eat and rest, Ask them for neck pillows (them ones you get on the airplane) or get your own as this will help you sleep at night without rolling onto your side as your hairs are delicate and you cant mess them up for the first few nights. The neck pillow will help with this trust me.
-After surgery they will also give you a bag as seen in the picture of me and my friend with all inflamation pills and pain killers for you for the next few days, these are the same you get here but labels in turkish (i googled them and they are legit so dont worry) they will also have special shampoos and biotin shampoos and foams in the bag which youll use over the next 2 weeks. Osman will go through everything with you on what to use and when.
-The next few days you have there they will let you relax and maybe go see turkey or just lay about in the hotel as its really nice. then the last day theyll take you back to the surgery for removal of the bandage and wash your hair and give it a professional clean. They will also give you a free PRP session which is very very good for the growth of your hair.
On your way back from turkey i can guarantee youll have maybe 4-5 other people on that plain who have just had hair transplants over there but from different clinics, so youll feel normal as no1 really cares.
Once back in the UK in the airport you may get one or two stares but stare back and they will look away
once your in your car/taxi or lift whatever then just go home and watch tv and chill in your house for a week and youll be good to go outside.
No1 even knew i had a transplant when i left my house, they just all kept saying oh how come you shaved your head Ray??
Hope this helps lol i talk to much mate my bad.
