or me, it was very difficult to chose the right clinic.
There are many HT(Hairtransplant) provider.
So I searched in the Internet, Instagram, Google, Review Sites for the "best" clinic.
I wrote to a lot of clinics - instagram/whatsapp/fb/email and sent them my photos of the hairs. (front, back, top, video)
I asked them about the price, situation of my hairs, who does operate and many more questions.
Some were answering, a lot not. (or it took like 5 Weeks, a joke :-))
After they told me about the situation of my hairs and the price, I asked many more questions. (transfer, costs, hotel, operation, flight, medicaments, duration of the op, grafts, pre-op, post-op, airport, Istanbul, pictures of other patients, how to take care of the hairs, success rate, risks, doctor)
Many clinics needed like 2-5 days per answer, really exhausting, other clinics did not answer.
Some of them looked like they only want money and patients, just money focusing. Thats not what I want.
If you google HT you will see many "Top-Results" .. I dont want to talk bad about them, but if you look closer u will see, they are only looking for maximum profit and money, the human/person doesnt matter, they only want your money.
Operations done by the assistents and like 10-20 people per day, thats like a supermarket.
So I looked for another one.
So I came across the Suzermed Clinic, at first I did not want to the the operation there.
Because I found no reviews, pictures, facebook, instagram .. nearly nothing.
And they were also not so expensive like others - so I thought they only offer cheap/bad HT's.
But I talked/wrote with them.. I asked them the same questions, my concers, my problems..
And he always replied nice, and competent.. yeah
I had a loft of questions, and while i were chatting with them, the questions became more and more.
After they answered all my questions, I decided to to with them, even if I was not 100% sure.
But the other clinics were not not trustfully enough.
I booked the flight 3 Months later from germany to istanbul. I paid like 300€ for 2 flights (outward/return flight).
You can save a lot of money if you book earlier!
>>fast forward
I took the flight from Germany to Istanbul (2h) and arrived in istanbul at 10PM. I should go to the healthpoint in the airport to meet the guys.
I met the drive, and he took me to the hotel "Holiday Inn Kadikoy".
The hotelroom was really nice and luxurious so I could sleep very well.
The next day, the driver picked me up and we drived to the hospital.
Acıbadem is a really nice hotel, very very luxurious and modern, I was'nt really expecting this.
Its really outstanding in the area, because its so modern that it does not fit into the enviroment in comparison to the the other buildings.
I went in, and met "Hasan", he was my contact person the whole time.
We were talking a bit and heading to the doctor.
I showed him my hairs, talked a bit about my hairs, my parents, my expectations.
The next step was Operation..
We went the operation room, and the doctor shaved my head > bald head.
Then he painted my new hairline on the head and we talked about.
After this the operation started, they cut my new holes in the head (holes for the hairs), removed my hairs from the back and planted the hairs from the back into the new holes on my head. This took like 10/11 hours with breaks for toilet, food.
Then they gave me the creme and medicaments, pillow with more informations what to do.
After the 11 hours, they drove me back to the hotel where I could sleep.
The next Day I was picked up again by the driver and we drove to the hospital.
So they removed the bandage and washed my head and the doctor examined the head and
everything was great.
At home I did my daily routin with washing and creming and everything went fine, after 10days the bloody crust was gone.
Now I write all the time with the clinic and send photos so I can be sure everything is fine.
I can definitely recommend this clinic, they are certificated, high standards, modern and luxurious.
I did not expect this modern hospital and competent doctor.
So I will give 5 Stars :-)
