Total Grafts: 4256 Grafts
Price: €2,550 (I booked 6 months ago)
Hotel: Crown Plaza Oryapark
Hospital: Medicana Kadikoy Hospital

I arrived in Istanbul on Saturday night and was taken directly to hotel. It was quite late at night at this point (approx. 9:30pm). Rest time.

Day 2 was operation day. We were picked up at 8:45am after breakfast and brought straight to the hospital. My interpreter Selim was there to meet me outside the hospital and he was very helpful the entire day. First day took my blood for bloodtest then I had my consultation with Dr. Mesut Demir and Specialist Canan then we progressed with the designing of my hairline. I was instantly happy with their recommendation. I was given my consent forms and made the payment. I was then given 1mg of Xanax to take. My main wish was to cover the front and mid areas and have a full hairline, I also wanted a little bit in the crown as I have recently noticed some balding in these areas. He explained that my balding in these areas isn’t bad but he would put a few grafts here anyway. We then went into the room to shave my head. We progressed on to take my before-pictures. 

Then we went into the operating room where the technician did the needle-less anaesthetic and needle anaesthetic. They were quite sore (maybe 7/10). Then started the extraction of follicles on my right side. Dr.Mesut was with me all day to check it was all going okay. As the follicles were being extracted, there were 2 other technicians working on separating them and counting them. Overall this process took approx. 3 hours. Then they continue with anesthesia before the incisions and it takes around 1 hour.

I had a lunch break they gave me menu to choose what I want. It was great! And technicians continue for implantation, It takes 3.5 hours. 
Today I had my first wash and follow up treatment. I was greeted by Selim who was just excellent. He talked with me for a couple of hours, explaining the next steps and answered the many questions I had. Dr. Mesut came in for approx. 5 min to look at my scalp and he said he was happy with it and left. We then went through the bandage removal and wash and took more photos and that was it.  I should mention the hotel is approx 45 min from the airport and a 15 minutes drive to the hospital. 

Overall I am very very satisfied with my experience with Pure Line Clinic. The fact that they performed one operation a day was the most important reason for my preference. They have been extremely helpful from the very start to the very end. I couldn’t fault them very much at all.I'll continue to share updates!

Seems like a good and clean job: small irregularities in the hairline to make it look natural, no row implantation, gradually decreasing density. All this for only €2550, looks like you won the lottery! Happy growing :)

If they are doing only one surgery per day why wasnt your surgery performed by the doctor himself but from technisians? This doesnt make alot of sense.

All the best for your results.
