  1. I was/am very impressed with his work and his credentials are up there with the best.

     

    I asked the question about Dr involvement and received this.

     

    Dr Civas is present throughout the surgery. He is responsible for:

    Preparing the patient for surgery, anesthesia administration

    Preparing the donor area for extraction and supervision of extraction process

    Making the incision sites

    Implantation of grafts in the critical areas

  2. I was booked to fly out on the 2nd January for my HT in Ankara and return home on the 5th and I've had to cancel due to family problems but the booking process left a sour taste in my mouth.

     

    I forwarded my flight plan to the foreign patients manager asking if they looked okay and got an email back shortly afterwards saying the flights were okay and to go ahead and book them.

     

    I booked the flights and an hour later received an email saying she had made a mistake and could I alter my flight to come home a day later, I called Turkish airlines but they have a strict no change policy on the flight.

     

    The reason it wasn't an ideal flight was because I would be arriving on the Saturday night and the clinic was closed on the Sunday so I wouldn't be having my transplant til the Monday and my return flight was 9am on Tuesday 5th January.

     

    The Patients manager assured me it would be fine but when I pushed and asked her if they were going to open the clinic for me on the Sunday she said no they would just work in the time scale they had, which would have me going in to the clinic at 6:30 on the morning I leave to have my bandage removed and head washing.

     

    As the airport is a 40 minute drive from the clinic and my flight at 9am I felt this was less than ideal and I would be rushed around for no other reason than error on their part

     

    I should also add I paid 600gbp for flights for me and my father

     

    I plan on re scheduling on a later date but should alarm bells be ringing?

    Any thoughts?

  3. As above, loads of great doctors outside the UK where you won't be getting ripped off. You get what you pay for doesn't real hold much water with hair transplants as there have been thousands of great results for a fraction of the price of UK and US prices.

     

    Footballers and other famous people are well known for having the procedures in the UK which has really kept the prices at unrealistic levels for the general public.

  4. I was in your situation 5 years ago, using regaine which helped the crown area but receding continued. I stopped using regaine at about 24 as I couldn't be bothered with it anymore and shaved my hair which actually looked okay,

     

    I decided that I'd wait it out until my hair loss had stabilized and see what my options are. I'm 26 now and around norwood 5 with dense donor areas, I'm used to having my hair shaved now but I have always hankered to have my hair back.

     

    Going for my first HT in January with possibly another in a couple of years.

  5. I'd be pleased in your shoes and just relax now and wait it out. I'm going to Turkey in January for my HT and I know it's much easier said than done but I'm going to just relax and enjoy my re-growth phase.

     

    Is it advised to grow the hair at your stage or would it be okay to buzz it all until it was coming in thicker?

     

    I buzz my hair at the moment and it's okay (I'm also a Norwood 5a (ish) and I would be fine with having it short right up until the hairs were coming in thicker then I could grow it out?
