Regular Member sober Posted March 16, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted March 16, 2023 Hello I'm delighted I finally got a hair transplant! As someone who's been dealing with a receding hairline since I was 18, I was always nervous about undergoing the procedure, even though I live in Turkey, where hair transplant clinics are plenty. However, after much research and consideration, I decided to go for it and chose the Choiexpert hair clinic in Thessaloniki, Greece. I was extremely picky when selecting a hair clinic for such a significant procedure, but the exceptional skills of Dr. Chris Tsakalos, who performed the entire procedure, from the injections to extraction and implantation, put my mind at ease. He performed the Direct Implant technique, and to my surprise, I felt nothing discomfort during the entire procedure—2612 graft implanted. It has been almost a week since my hair transplant, and I'm pleased to share some post-op care pictures with you all. The teamwork at the clinic was outstanding, and I'm impressed with how thorough they were with the post-op care instructions. So far, I'm delighted with the outcome and eager to share more updated pictures as I recover. I know I still have a long way to go, but I'm hopeful for the future of my hair. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy growing the design looks very good 👍 so what made you choose dr Chris tsakalos for your hair transplant ? Was it because he is doing the whole procedure by himself (extractions and implantation of grafts ) ? also can you tell us the cost of your hair transplant ? Thanks 🙏🏻 Edited March 16, 2023 by Belve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks 🙏🏻 I'm glad to hear that you liked it! Thank you. I discovered this clinic through a recommendation by JT. I chose them because the full procedures are performed only by the doctor, which gave me the confidence to go through with it after years of postponing. Additionally, doctors who work in the clinic background is impressive, they have experience working in Glasgow. I wanted my procedure done with direct implant, and they are specific too. The total cost of the procedure was 3600 euros, which included hotel accommodation and transportation. I hope that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will use Rogaine and some other supplements after one month and will see if they effects or not and then decide what will i do. I don't care of back part much but front. Also, the clinic recommended I use some supplements for my back part instead planning second session. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The price of 3600 euros is really good for a doctor doing all the procedure by himself. I will be following your journey. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What drew me to this place was the fact that it's not an advertisement based clinic. I tend to avoid places with inorganic fame, especially in the medical field because the fees you pay are often for their advertising, not the actual procedure. I also wanted to know who would be performing my procedure. This clinic is completely organic and they don't accept too many patients daily due to the full doctor performing concept. I saw multiple doctors while I was there, and it's truly an underrated place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea you may have found a hidden gem for other users of the forum to try as long as the doctor is ethical and does most of the work himself his work and ethics will speak for themselves 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had only a frontal area hair transplant, not a top region. I have enough hair there. The main focus was the frontal area, which is why I am sharing the frontal area. Thank you.
