    • The hotel has a restaurant and food can be ordered to your room. You've basically got multiple options and it won't be an issue at all.
    • Hello guys,   I have decided to write this post after a bit more than one year post my HT surgery to ask your opinion on the result of it and to ask for advice whether I should go for a revision surgery or not.   I will try to keep it short and concise so here is how things went, I'm writing what I remember from 1 year ago so I may miss some details but I remember very well the important facts: I got to Istanbul and got transferred to the hotel on a Sunday afternoon then later I've got to the clinic for some blood tests and then I was brought back to the hotel. Day-1: The next morning I went to the clinic where I've met my translator John (who is a very niece guy and very helpful) then I've met a few other people from the team. I had the first discussion with Dr. Turan when he assessed my hair and we discussed about the medication I take for my hair loss and how things are going currently. Next I've had my head shaved then another assessment was made regarding the state of the door area and they calculated the approximate amount of grafts needed for me. Then I've discussed again with Dr. Turan about the total number of grafts needed and the HT plan and afterwards I've made the payment for the HT. Next the procedure started, one guy did manual harvesting of the grafts and some other girl gathered the harvested grafts. After a short break, Dr. Turan came and implanted the first grafts in the frontal area. I've got the lunch break where I was waiting and eating a very nice meal in a separate room, not meeting with the other guy who was having his HT in the same day. Then I've realised that the doctor is doing 2 HTs in one day and not only one. The other guy needed more time than me so the dr. was quite busy with him. After the break the same guy did some more manual harvesting and some motorised harvesting as well and a girl gathered the harvested grafts. After a short break Dr. Turan came and implanted the rest of the grafts harvested filling half of my frontal area. After the first day I had implanted aprox. 1000 grafts out of 3700 grafts. The procedure started quite late due to the consultation and planning so I found this quite normal given the situation. At about 8-9 PM I was brought back to the hotel after the bandages were applied to the donor area. Day-2: The next morning I've started the day early, at aprox. 9 AM and I've got straight to the harvesting procedure. The same guy did a bit more manual harvesting and more motorised harvesting and some other girl gathered the harvested grafts. After a short break Dr. Turan came and implanted the rest of the grafts needed in the frontal area. Then I had the lunch break again in a separate room (very nice lunch as well) and I didn't meet the other guy who had his hair transplant in the same day. I've meet the guy randomly at the hotel on day 3 and found out he had the HT in the same day as my day 2 and he was transplanted about 3000 grafts. After the break the same guy did more grafts harvesting and they were gathered by another assistant. Then Dr. Turan came and implanted the rest of the grafts - 2700 grafts in one day. After the bandages were applied I was brought back to the hotel again quite late, aprox. 8-9 PM Day-3: I've had the first wash after the HT and I was explained the next steps and what happened during the procedure by a different doctor and by John. I've been then brought to the airport and I had my flight home. ---------------- Conclusions: Good: The hotel was nice and clean, it was cosy and quiet, so I didn't need anything else The clinic looked clean and the staff was professional John, the translator was a very nice guy and very communicative, he explained all the steps very well and was very professional as well Dr. Turan was nice as well, he explained to me what the plan is and talked to me about what I want (through the translator John), he also asked me if everything was OK during the HT The lunch from the clinic was very nice and tasty as well I was treated well so nothing to complain from this point of view Bad: I felt that the progress after the day 1 was quite small - 900 grafts out of 3700 planned - I found it somehow normal because we've started late The next day the procedure felt a bit rushed as the doctor was performing another big HT in the same day - 2700 grafts for me and aprox. 3000 grafts for another guy The speed of implanting the hair on day 2 felt like it was a bit rushed and the attention maybe not at full capacity as well ----------------- Questions: What do you guys think about the evolution of my HT and the 1 year result? What do you think about the result of the HT on the frontal area? Should I go for a revision HT? I don't know if I will get a better result or it will be the same as the first one.... ---------------- Pictures for progress and result below: Before HT:   Day 1 after HT: Day 5 after HT:   Day 10 after HT:   Month 1 after HT:   Month 3 after HT:   Month 6 after HT:   Month 9 after HT:   Month 12 after HT:   Thank you for your help and sorry for the long post!
    • Thanks for the help. I've read about the Delhi airport wifi being bad, so I'm worried I won't be able to find my driver, especially since it's a busy airport without being in contact with them.  So they don't have room service available? So aside from breakfast, any food you have to order from outside? 
    • Yes I did, literally on the way home. I bought a snapback the day before, there is a way to put it on, that doesnt disturb the grafts. 
    • I absolutely loved that I was able to find Dr Sean Benham. He was the 4th hair surgeon I met with, I flew in to LA to meet him any I knew he was the one I should go to after he evaluated my hair in person. Throughout my research I found out he had the most extensive background in ethnic/curly hair. So he was the only one I could trust. Him and his staff are true professionals and I had a great experience! I look forward to this journey…
