My hair line was reclining over the years especially in the corners as usual. I have thin blond hair so the common old men short hair was not an option i liked. I considered hair tranplantation for years but never felt confident in doing so as a lot can go wrong. Coinsidantly i met a friend of a close friend who openly spoke about his hair transplant, seeing his results and the way he was so happy how it all went I finally decided to do in in the Acibadem Clinic where he had the surgery done. The treatment overall is not a small thing for sure, but considering the intervention a most convenient way i could have thought.
Pain was only while getting the local anestesia. After that i felt nothing during the opperation that made me feel uncomfortable. The pain killer actually let me fall asleep sometimes. Coming out of the operation looks shocking. But the recovery is really fast. The second day after my head got washed, i was already sightseeing through Istanbul. Being given a hat that is sitting on a head bandage, which i thought is an excellent idea i had no starry glances and i was happy i did not have to hide for days in the hotel, which by the way was absoutely first class too.
Something i really recommend to do so is to start talking about your exact hairline early enough. Usually it comes right before the operation where the protocol does not accept a lot of time. It is the most important part and it s a discussion of your personal interest and their experience. So sleep over it if you want to have the hairline of a 20 year old or maybe a more realistic slightly reduced one which is adequate for your age. I strongly recommend to sleep one night after having discussed and drawn it on your head with the team.
So overall the surgery is intense, but in the way i experienced it was the best possible option i could have expected.

I have chosen the Abicadem clinic only because it was recommended to be by the friend. The attractive price actually was surprising for me more than convicing at first. But from the organisation of the trip, the arrival desk the Airpot, transfer to the clinic and seeing the modern and suffisticated institute i immediately knew the guys are not sharlatans.
And the whole procedure proofed it later. In a professionell routine they are absolut experts for this surgery having multiple surgeries daily. All over your stay you are being accompanied by a personal translator and assistent for all questions or doubts which is a very open and personal relation more than a pushy guide through the hospital. A friend who accompanied me to do the same surgery had fever the day before and was struggling from a virus still why he didnt feel like doing it and pulled out. At no point was that a problem or caused aggrevation but was fully respected, covering the cost that came up till then for the prp treatment he received. And by the way he already booked a new surgery date already after seeing how it went with me.
Also speaking with the other patients for hair transplants that i met here during the days there all where really happy. Everbody was convinced having done the right thing, only part of discussions always was the personal hairline, so really do take your time for it and have it done as you like it.
So for all those considering the step and looking for confidence to be at the right place and trust a result i can recommend this clinic by heart. The team and the facilities are probably one of the best options for a hair transplant you can get.
