Thank you all for your valuable comments and insights. I truly appreciate the input. After careful consideration of the responses provided, I have made the following decisions: I have opted for the VIP package, primarily due to the added assurance it offers. Additionally, the availability of an earlier date for the VIP package influenced my choice. For convenience and to avoid any potential hassles, I have decided to bring cash with me for the trip to Turkey. This eliminates the need to search for the right ATM and the possibility of incurring a 21% surcharge when using my card. It's always best to err on the side of caution. Considering the limited options for direct flights from Turkey to Canada, I am hesitant about waiting for a connecting flight immediately after my surgery. Therefore, I am contemplating staying in Turkey for an extra week post-surgery before flying back to Canada. This additional time will hopefully allow some improvement in the redness, especially considering my brown skin tone. Additionally, this plan allows me to adhere to the recommendation of avoiding wearing a hat during the crucial recovery period. Thank you once again for your invaluable guidance.

Hello everyone, I'm pretty new here, not sure if this is the right place to post this. I need some advice. In January 2024, I was on the verge of booking a hair transplant at one of the hair mills in Turkey. However, a last-minute decision to do some more research led me to this amazing community. After discovering that my initial choice was a hair mill, I decided to explore other options. I reached out to Dr. Keser, but unfortunately, the earliest available date was in December 2024. Seeking a sooner option, I contacted Fuecapilar and have now secured a date with Dr. Gokhan Gur. I'm currently finalizing the booking, but I have a few doubts and would appreciate your opinions: VIP vs. Standard Package: The VIP package offers extraction and channel incisions by the doctor, while the Standard package has technicians perform these tasks. Graft placement is done by technicians in both packages. Is it safe for technicians to handle the graft placement? I'm uncertain about the criticality of this step. Payment Options: If I choose to pay with a debit or credit card, there's an extra 21% fee for all transactions, which seems quite high. Has anyone dealt with making such large payments in cash? My package will be around 6000 Euro, and my bank doesn't charge forex fees. Would withdrawing cash from an ATM in Turkey be feasible for this amount? Post-Surgery Concerns: I'm quite self-conscious, and I'm unsure about how I'll feel flying back home from Turkey after the surgery. Can anyone share their experience at the airport or during the flight? Are there surgical caps available that I can wear during the journey? I'm looking forward to hearing your thoughts and experiences. Thank you in advance for your help.
