My name is Noah, 21 years of age, from Norway.
Last year, December 4th. 2013, I had my very first transplant of 2000 grafts/3500 hairs. It was not a successful one, alas. It looks thin and the majority of the grafts are very poorly angled/placed. My previous "doctor" was Prasert Seesillapachai. Do NOT consult him for any hair related matter, trust in my Words. It has truly been a terrible experience. I played the fool, and went Ahead With a hair transplant, not knowing he was a butcher or had any artistic sense, whatsoever. He ruined me, and I'm the one to blame. But enough of that.
This time around I must choose the right surgeon/clinic to go to. I live in Europe, Norway, so the closer the better. But I am of course willing to travel longer distances.
I have included a photo of a list of recommended hair transplant surgeons in Europe, taken from "hair restoration network".
First one I contacted was Dr. Hakan *********. I asked about my age, and they said it was no problem. Which actually concerns me a bit. Should I be? This is what they responded with in their e-mail to me:
E-MAIL 1:
"Dear Noah,Thanks for interesting in having FUE surgery with Dr Hakan *********.
Could you send us some pictures for evaluation?
Our price is 2 euros per hair graft and 2.5 euros per beard graft and manual graft.
The utilities, like hospital, food, transportation in Antalya and medicines necessary after the operation will be paid by us.
We will pick you up from the airport and take to the hospital, where you will stay during the surgery.
If you use credit card for the payment, we will charge extra %8 for the tax but if you bring cash there will be no tax charge."
E-MAIL 2:
"Hey Noah,
Thanks for the pictures based on them you will need 2500 grafts but please be awarethat this is an estimate and the exact number will be determined when we see you in person.
We only do FUE.
Please feel free to ask any question.
All the best,"
E-MAIL 3:
"Hey Noah,
We can arrange 24 or 30 Dec. You will be staying at the hospital. No, your age wont be problem but we highly recommend to use Rogain daily base to protect the existing hairs. Extraction will be done by nurses and implantation will be done by Dr Hakan and his technician. Dr Hakan especially implants the front line.
All the best,"
I know he is recommended and all, but still... is he any good? Everyone claims to be the best, right?
The second surgeon/clinic I contacted, was Dr. Kyriakos Maras. They said they will come back to me, after having a word with their head-surgeon.
I also contacted Dr. Rahal. They seem very professional to me. And respond very amicably and professional.
What do you think? Would you recommend me another surgeon/clinic/hospital, or?
I sorta screwed up my first transplant, I don't want to go through that again, never again.
So this time I must make sure to choose the very best.
Thank you very much!
