Okay so I'll talk a little about the operation in this section.

 

After I decided on Dr. Cinik, I worked with a wonderful woman named Ozlem. She helped me through all the finer details about my trip. We set a date for April 4th, I used skyscanner to find plane tickets that cost me $930 instead of the typical $1,500-$2,000 I would have paid for tickets on such short notice. Bought them March 22nd for a April 2nd flight :eek: Skyscanner for flights is awesome if your dates are flexible btw. 13 hour flight to Moscow from LA, 7 hour layover, and a 4 hour flight to Istanbul. That much traveling SUCKED but reminded myself again I'm saving $17,000. WORTH.

 

Ozlem had set up ground transportation from the airport to the hotel that I was staying at (literally 2 minutes from the hospital). She gave me directions for everything. The hotel is VERY nice and there are bunch of men walking around with a bandage on they back of their heads lol. Seemed like half the hotel was there to get the operation. I slept for 4 hours, woke up, got a call from the front desk saying my English speaking driver had arrived at 7:30am, we drove 2 minutes to the hospital, and that's when I met Sara.

 

Sara is basically there as a translator / guide for Dr. Cinik. She's great and honestly made me feel better about everything. A lot of the doctors didn't understand English, (which I expected) but as long as she was there, I felt a little safer in case something happened. She introduced me to Dr. Cinik who also spoke great English. He looked over my head, drew some lines which I trusted him making. He obviously is the expert, and I know there are limitations to a HT (pretty much impossible to gain ALL of your hairline back), so I decided to just trust him on everything.

 

I was then taken to a room to get my blood drawn for PRP. PRP is said to help with post OP recovery and they were giving it to me for free.... (it's $1,000 in the USA) so I was like yeah okay do it. Next, upstairs for the operation. They shaved my head and then I had to lay face down onto a medical table. They gave me local anesthetic which hurt pretty fucking bad...

 

Not gonna lie, I was expecting it to hurt, but something about getting large needles jammed into your head was not sitting well with me. My heart was beating fast, but I laid there in silence getting super sweaty, but next thing I knew, my head was solid as a rock and couldn't feel a thing. Zero pain after about 5 minutes of agony. I hated it but it's doable. If you're worried about pain, you can do it, just know it's gonna hurt like a bitch for a sec! :eek:

 

Not much to say about the operation because you honestly cannot feel a thing. I even fell asleep for part of it hah! It lasted 8 hours and I slept for about half. One time, I woke up by surprise and grabbed at the eye covering they had on me! Luckily the nurses stopped me before I did any damage to myself. Dr. Cinik personally crafted my hairline, then the nurses filled everything in with the grafts from my donor area.

 

On a side note, I think that's why they're able to charge such a small price... Dr. Cinik only does the super technical parts 6 times a day. 3 patients in the morning, 3 in the afternoon. (that's 6 x $2,000 so $12,000 a day, 6 days a week) Some doctors in LA were saying they only do 1 operation a day to give you special attention... but honestly? I'd rather go with the guy that has been doing this 6 times a day for 6 days week for 10 years. Think about it seriously, Dr. Cinik has to be a master after that many transplants.

 

They finished, wrapped me up, and Sara called for my car to bring me back to the hotel. When I was getting into the cab... they told me to watch my head, but I stupidly didn't and bumped my head (you can see the splat on the back of my head) - luckily it ended up being nothing, and I didn't feel it when it happened (papa bless the anesthetics), so that was good!

 

Got back to the hotel, and tried my best to fall asleep on the inflatable neck pillow they gave me so my donor area wasn't squashed by my head all night. I was tired enough that I was able to sleep a few more hours before they picked me up the next morning.

 

Okay that's all for now. Thanks for reading. I'l respond again with the rest and my day 1-6 pictures soon!

OMG my friend your photos are horrible and it is showing that very amatuer job very bloody.:confused:

There is no bad review for this doctor because many people are working for him and writing fake comments also reviews..He has many forums around the world and there is Manipulation of Internet Opinion Forums , he is trying to be famous on internet forums but he has no good results...He has cheap price therefore he is taking 4-5 patients a day like butcher..Ofcourse it is your chosen just this is my opinion if you are searching cheap job and result ...
