Stress free hair transplant in Turkey Hair transplant and turkey - scary thought and intimidating if you are English. Other words like hair mill and over harvesting and media stories about cosmetic surgery gone wrong. All of these made me look to the UK first. Interestingly a lot of those cautionary notices are from UK clinics who to be fair whilst they would have vested interests their are going to be some dodgy cases. That said you can't get away from the price consideration and for someone like me who realised that their hair loss was a lot worse than they thought (got to love a comb over) After looking for a while and doing some decent research it was very hard to ascertain the genuine and fake and which were any good but I finally chose Clinicana. The first thing that gave me comfort was no false promises and advice that had been exactly in line with the UK. I liked the rapid response and package idea and of course price. For someone who is nervous the process was perfect and at each part I've been looked after and not left to wonder what to do next. So if you are looking for what actually happens then.... All fixed prices Once flight booked the hotel is then arranged and op day Clinicana send you lots of information and this includes a video walkthrough showing you exactly where to go once you walk through customs (right past burger king if you are hungry after the flight!). You wait inside an open office where the driver will come and pick you up The driver takes you to the hospital for the blood tests talking to the staff for you and a small deposit which is taken out of the full price, he then takes you to the hospital to book you in Same day or next day there is a driver outside 24/7 going back and forth to the hospital where you will be met by Clinicana (English speaking)for the consultation and the line drawn (on the top package at least). Day of operation is quite scary to be fair. The injections into your scalp are very very painful but for the sake of a lifetime then it's worth it just grit your teeth and bear with it. The op itself was around 6 hours for 4000 grafts but seemed a lot quicker. The technicians couldn't really speak English but understood if I said anything and the manager came around 4 times as well as the professor and the translator/liaison. I can genuinely say I felt completely looked after. Shuttle back to hotel and a rubbish sleep as you can't lay properly. First wash, advice and check the next day. Genuinely I felt looked after and people actually wanted to help. Follow up advice with regular check ins are booked in. It's clear it's not just transactional and monitoring and advice will continue. Key question we all want to know though is how did it go. Sadly I don't know yet but when you see the implants after the op and see a hairline that hasn't existed for a long time it's a big buzz I know this is wordy but I wanted to do it justice and hopefully help someone who may be checking these out. Hotel is good, food is nice, no English TV other than CNN so I'd recommend a usb device to stream as you won't be doing much on the day of the op. I'd add that the hotel feels like an international brotherhood with all of us going through the same thing together and it's a strange feeling but good. Clinicana bent over backwards for me including staff doing my bloods before the hospital opened to do my tests, booking into hotel at 8am. Even was very kind and helpful .Any questions are answered with lots of guidance given. It probably goes without saying I would recommend them.
