Regular Member dazzler500 Posted May 21, 2013 Regular Member Share Posted May 21, 2013 (edited) Hi folks, thought I'd share my experience of my trip to Poland with you. After doing hour's of research on the net I decided to have my hair transplant carried out by Dr Marwan Saifi in Wroclaw Poland, I sent photo's & e-mailed him to see if I was a possible candidate for the FUT procedure, shortly after contacting him I received a reply saying it looked as though it was possible to carry out the transplant, after the initial contact I spoke to Dr Saifi on the phone several times as well as keeping in touch by e-mail. So I decided to take the plunge & booked my flights, flying out on Mon 6th May & returning Weds 8th May (?80 return Ryanair from East Midlands) there is no money to pay up front to Dr Saifi, a copy of your flight itinerary will show that your serious about attending. So I arrived at the airport & their was a man waiting for me holding a sign with my name on ready to take me to my hotel, 10mins later I'm checking into the Art Hotel in the Center of Wroclaw,(ranked no2 on Tripadvisor of all the Hotels in Wroclaw & well deserved). The Taxi from the airport & the first night at the Hotel is included in the price. So at 8.40am the next day the taxi is waiting to take me to the surgery which is about 10mins from the Hotel, by now I'm feeling pretty nervous & shaky!! Greeted at the surgery by a very warm & friendly lady with a welcoming smile, asked to fill out medical questionnaire & some personal details, after filling out the forms I get to meet Dr Saifi, a really friendly chap who instantly puts me at ease, a thorough consultation is done & it's agreed I will have 2000 grafts by the FUT method on my crown area + some grafts on a small scarred area near the front, the total cost of which is ?2950.00. (GBP) So I don the surgical gown & enter the treatment room, I'm greeted by & introduced to his team, a friendly bunch who you can have a laugh with. A cocktail of tablets to help me relax & aid me whilst the surgery is being carried out & I'm ready for my HT. Dr.Saifi started by marking on my crown the pattern of what's required, then taping up my hair ready to remove the donor strip, onto the bed face down to have the local anaesthetic injected into my head, my head is numb & the surgery starts,...... 7 hours later it's finished, 2320 grafts in total, 320 FREE!! I was kept informed at all times what was happening, I could ask them to stop at anytime to stretch my legs, go to the toilet, or just to have a drink, lunch was also included. Overall I was extremely satisfied with the professionalism of Dr Saifi & his team, from the first minute I walked through the door, to my leaving in the Taxi, I was put at complete ease. So it's back to the hotel to rest & get some sleep, once the anaesthetic wears off their is some discomfort & I personally found it difficult to get sleep later that night, you are given some instructions along with your medication on what tablets are to be taken at what times & some post op do's & don'ts. Hope this blog has been helpful, probably a lot of info you don't really require but 'm just trying to share with you things from start to finish! ,so I'm now waiting to see the results over the forthcoming months & will post more photo's as things start happening.

dentan Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 Hi Let me know how you are getting on. Im back to Dr Saifi for the 3rd time in September. hi buzz how did you go on with the results who had from Dr. Marwan Saifi im thinking about going to see him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Buzz2 Posted May 7, 2014 Senior Member Share Posted May 7, 2014 Hi Dentan, I decided against Saifi on this occasion as I wanted to try an alternative surgeon. However, do not let this put you off at all as I admire Dr Saifi very much as a surgeon and a person. I just felt that with FUE he was a little conservative with regards to the number of grafts he would do, where as Hakan Doganay was prepared to do more and I felt was better equip for larger sessions. I had fantastic results with Saifi so wouldn't hesitate in recommending him! HT No1 : Nobel clinic, Gatwick 500 grafts - Terrible result, left with bumpy skin HT No2 : Marwan Saifi 1680 grafts. Great result HT No3 - Marwan Saifi 1250 grafts. Another good result. HT No4 - Hakan Doganay 2134 grafts. Result TBA Total 5134 grafts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Locksofheaven Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 (edited) I went to Dr saifi last year, but thought I come on hear today to tell people how pleased i am with the result of the hair transplant. As a women ( though I am sure men also find too) it was really upsetting to lose my hair. I grew it long to cover the batches many at the back that where thinning but it did not work. I am so great full to Dr saifi and his team for the care I got while in Poland. I was collected from the airport by chris the taxi driver who speaks perfect English and I stayed at the Art hotel. Which is beautiful in an old polish sort of a way. The next morning I had a consultation. Dr saifi is very kind and calm he came across as a perfectionist. I choose the strip method, really the scar can hardly been seen now!! The procedure lasted about 5 hours and I had I think 2000 grafts. I just went back to my hotel the night after and then home again which was fine but I regrat not staying longer in Wroclaw as I did not really get to see the city. I put on a picture but I can't work out how? Edited December 2, 2014 by Locksofheaven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
