My Expectations were surpassed
My name is Michael I am 55 years old and had been thinking about doing a hair transplant for years. A friend of a friend went to Istanbul's ClinicExpert and was very happy with the results and put me in touch with Eziz. Eziz and I had been in communications for about a year, then I finally had a gap between employment and decided it was now or never. I have seen specialist in the United States and all my quotes were all above $20,000 just for hair. As I learned more about Clinicexpert I found out about other cosmetic procedures they could do. My eye had been getting heavy and droopy looking, I just happened to mention that to Eziz and he gave me a quote of $4,000 to do my hair transplant, and open up my eyes working on my lower and upper eye lids. About $30,000 in the US vs $4,000 in Istanbul. It was not a hard decision to make. Of course like some of you I was a little hesitant going to a foreign country to have surgery but after reading reviews and watching videos I said what the hell. I arrived on Jan 29 and there was a driver waiting for me at the airport to transport me to my hotel. The van was very nice, and it even had wifi and I had the whole van to myself. The clinic made all my reservations for me. They booked me at the Rotta hotel which is in the heart of Istanbul. This hotel was super nice. My room was great, super comfortable bed. The pool really blew me away; it was probably one of the nicest indoor hotel pools I have ever ver seen, and they also had a spa. But, what really blew me away was the free breakfast. OMG!! It was the best buffet outside of Las Vegas I have ever eaten at. Many local dishes and cuisine. I love honey in my tea; they had a cut out section of a honey comb to cut off a piece to add to my tea. Of course they had all the customary stuff too like friend fruits, Turkish Delight, etc....The breakfast was just simply amazing. Right outside the hotel there is also an amazing kebab restaurant. I love TÃŒrkiye and the next time I am in Istanbul I will stay at the Rotta hotel again. Keep in mind...all my transportation, and hotel was all included in the $4,000 quote he gave me. The only out of pocket expense I had was for my airline ticket but I used miles for that. The next morning I was picked up by a driver and we first went to the clinic where I met up with Eziz. After my consultation period and quick checkup, I was then driven to the hospital. Arriving to the hospital was the only time I began to question my decision. The hospital was in a strange dirty area. The area looked really bad and the building looked old and worn. I said oh shit! What was I thinking? But they say don't judge a book by its cover. Once I stepped inside the hospital was actually very clean and modern, and full of helpful and friendly staff. Once inside the hospital my anxiety quickly subsided and I was getting excited to get things done. As I mentioned earlier I pad $4,000 for everything. Do you have any idea how much time they spent on me? I had 5400 grafts done and they used a choi pen on me. The doctor and his team spent 12 hours nonstop on me. Can you imagine the cost of an American doctor spending 12 hours on you? I have heard from others who have had hair transplants and I was told it was very painful. Clinicexpert first gave me general anesthesia, I was out for about 15 minutes as they injected my head with local anesthesia. I did not feel a thing the whole time! The next day I had a blepharoplasty procedure done. I am not sure how long that one took or wha twas involved. For that provider I was given general anesthesia and when I woke up I was back in my room. The following day I had follow up visits to check my hair and my eyes, everything looked good and later that day I was driven back to the Rotta hotel. The staff at the hospital were all very professional, friendly and helpful. When there was a communication gap they had interpreters always nearby. To make sure I had no issues before going home I stayed at the hotel for another 2 nights before flying back to Virginia. That hotel is awesome!! However I will say ice is hard to find. I travel a lot and ice is always hard to find in foreign countries. In America we just love ice. We get ice in our drinks, we get ice in our water, and hotels always have ice machines. Rotta is a 5 star hotel, but it has no ice. My face, head and eyes were very swollen but I could not ice them down. But I survived and as soon as I got home I iced everything, It has only been almost 2 weeks since my procedure but so far so good. I will give an update with photos at 6 months. Istanbul is a very vibrant and diverse city. I highly recommend making it a medical vacation you will not regret it. Clinicexpert does all sorts of things, great enlargement and reductions, tummy tucks, facelifts, even cosmetic dentistry and of course hair transplants. Give Eziz a call see what he can do for you at +90 534 773 0164.
