Hello everyone,
After reading through all these forums for a year or two I am finally booked in for a procedure on the 17th and 18th of October... gulp! It seems impossible to choose a clinic or doctor without finding people online who tell you to avoid them. In the end I have booked with the DHI Global clinic in Greece.
The forums have definitely helped me so at the very least I will keep you all posted with the process. As a start I have attached my (quite badly taken) pictures to give you an idea of where I'm at. I'm 30.
So far... the good:
I contacted DHI Global initially through their website. I was contacted the next day by a Piet Lambrecht from the Greece clinic, who according to his email signature and LinkedIn profile has been the director of the Greece clinic for 8 1/2 years. Piet has been very responsive with me so far, responding pretty quickly to questions and queries, I can't really fault him on that.
And the not so good:
I have not been able to get the name of the doctor who will be performing the procedure. This obviously makes me anxious given that the result is largely dependant on the doctor's skill. I told Piet that this concerned me and his reply is below:
"Please kindly note that we have 25 medical teams now, but in the VIP clinic I work only with master surgeons (min 5-6 yrs of experience and doing approx. 20-25 Mega sessions per month). We have a lot of missions (sic) and it is difficult to put the name of the doctor already. Although it is a guarantee from me that you will be in the best possible hands."
I was also surprised that I was not asked for more detailed pics of my donor area from the outset. I sent these anyway and was then told that its not a great donor area, but Piet is confident that they will be able to get a good, even density in the front, top and crown area with the donor area that I have.
Not much to do now but wait, I'll probably log in just before I head to Greece in 3 weeks. By then I should know who the doctor will be. I'm trying to stay away from the forums in the mean time given that I have made up my mind now! But I will def be back with feedback and pics.
