Hi Sanglee,
I had my transplant last saturday, so am 6 days post op now.
I couldn't have hoped fro a better experience from Dr Maral and his staff, I was picked up from the airport by their friendly and professional driver who spoke good english and taken to the hotel which was actually quite nice, it looked fairly new and very clean.
The next day I was taken to the clinic where I met Dr Maral who advised me on what sort of hairline he suggested which I totally agreed with.
i was then taken to the procedure room where the really nice nurses cut my hair before I was told to lie down and they proceeded to administer the anaesthetic injections, the first 7-8 or eight of them did make me squirm a little but it wasn't too bad.
After the area was anaesthetised another nurse started the extractions, the process to this point probably took 2-3 hours, thats a rough guess as I was quite drowsy at the time.
After the extractions were completed we had a little lunch break and then the most experienced nurse performed the slits on the head ready for the grafts to be inserted.
The insertion of the grafts was done by three nurses at one time, the total hair transplant time was roughly around 6.30 hours for me.
I was then taken back to the hotel and was told to take the tablets they gave me and to try and sleep upright for a few days with the travel/neck pillow they gave me. The first night I didn't really get much sleep to be honest.
The next day day I was taken back to the clinic where the bandages where taken off and I was given post op instructions.
The whole experience was positive for me, Dr Maral, his drivers and all of the nurses/technicians were all really professional and friendly, i couldn't have really asked for more.
