Have the side effects subsided on topical fin? Thanks! 

Hey, did the clinic provide the saline or did you buy your own? I’m going to fuecapilar myself this week. Any tips? Thanks!

Hi htus, I found it efficent and organised. Interaction with Dr Turan is not ideal as there's a language barrier but with interpreter u get your message across. I told them pack the front, I'm nw5a and I'm 6'2", no one sees my crown ! I can go back for 2nd op.

Pain is a sting, no biggie. It's the sleeping on your back, for me my donor felt  like sunburn. Sleep a disaster.

I left day after, Istanbul was wet and cold and who wants stared gazes at your beaming red skin head!

Time will tell if its a success but so far so good, scabs all gone on day 9.

@luckyg Thanks for the write up, really helps. I’m also worried the post-procedure recovery might get a bit difficult. People have described the donor area feeling a sensation of being too close to fire without being able to get away. Did you find anything that helped soothe that pain? How long did it last? And, sorry last question, does your donor feel fine/back to usual now? Thanks again, I’m going in a week and I’ve been ridiculously curious. 

@luckygHow was your experience? How was the pain? Did you leave the day after the surgery? Thanks

Looking good. I was there last week and don't think Ill be as scab free as you are. I daren't leave the house ! 

I'll be keeping on eye as you're just a week on from me. I am Norwood 5a so need to go back for crown. Like yourself, I was happy and will see what the following months bring.

I do notice price is rising a lot every year. While Fuecappilar are very reasonable, I think rate of increases is far outstripping average inflation and in time this clinic will be out of reach for a lot of us. 

How was the anesthesia pain for you? Did you leave the day after the procedure? Thanks

Did you leave the day after the procedure? Would you have preferred to stay another day? Thanks

How was the anesthesia pain?

@htus I'm booked in with Dr Turan next Wednesday. I have just received by pre op pack. Dr Turan does up to 2500 grafts in one day, anymore than this then it would be a 2 day sitting. 

 

He perform his surgeries in 1000 extractions and implantations before lunch / then same again after lunch to minimise the time the grafts are spent outside of the body. I'm no doctor but this can only be a good thing for graft survival. 

How many grafts are you getting? Thanks

So i'm booking a Hair Transplant DHI procedure with Dr. Turan and I’m a bit concerned with the fact that he spreads his operations over two days. From what I understand he anesthetizes, extracts and implants, and then we have lunch. Following lunch we anesthetize again and do another round of extraction and implantation. 

The next day he does something similar.

My question for those with experience with Dr Turan: Would you have preferred to do it all in one day? Is being anesthetized four times instead of once worse? Was the anesthesia part particularly painful?

I don't have a low threshold for pain but I’d opt for a better/comfortable experience over being miserable. 

Thanks
