Greetings everyone, I have just finished my Hair transplant with Dr. Muttalip Keser in Ankara yesterday.
Background: So noticed my hairline receding in 2018 and started reading up my options, which most were not practical or satisfactory to be honest. I then discovered that people do Hair transplants as a solution, as such I researched the whole thing and looked up many user experiences. I decided to go with Dr. Keser due to his exceptional results, great work and aftercare. My surgery kept getting delayed due to my job and covid among other things.
Experience : I flew from Riyadh, Saudi Arabia to Istanbul then straight to Ankara. As you could imagine I was very exhausted and so the Translator (Fatih) talked with a nearby cab driver to drive me to the hotel which was recommended to me stay there, because it was within walking distance of the clinic.
Disclaimer : the clinic is not affiliated with the hotel whatsoever. This disclaimer will make sense in the following part.
The agreement was that the clinic would provide a ride from and to the airport. On my way to the hotel on my 1st day, my flight was a bit late so I missed the cab provided. The clinic told me to go with a cab and the people at the hotel will pay them. To my surprise, the hotel staff asked me to go out, withdraw cash, exchange it to dollars then pay the driver... I was very tired, sleep deprived and in need of some rest. Thankfully, I told the translator about this ( who was shocked) who made them pay. Later on, Dr. Keser and Fatih went to pay them, the doctor himself went with him and gave them a piece of his mind. They started acting professionally and properly after then.
On to the actual surgery.
It was decided I needed 2500 grafts which took 4 days to complete.
650/600/600/650 ( June 27th - June 30th)
What made me admire and appreciate the doctor's work is that he harvests and implants alone, no assistants, nothing like that. He only had two nurses (Funda and Senem) and the translator ( Fatih) the whole time. Everyone was very kind and pleasant, I felt right at home and after I was told that he went by himself to the hotel to talk some sense into them. Any fears or doubts were put to rest by that point. The only thing that was hard for me is the anesthesia, it's a personal thing I guess.
Aside from that, I have zero complaints or concerns regarding the surgery. My experience with the clinic, everyone in it and the doctor especially has been an absolute pleasure and I can't wait for the results!!
