My 3 Days in Türkiye
Here's how my journey really unfolded — from touchdown, to transformation, to takeoff.
Start your journeyDay 1
Arrival
I landed in Turkey, checked into my hotel, and got settled in. Everything was handled by Doctours ahead of time so the day felt easy and organized, giving me time to relax before my procedure.
Day 2
Procedure Day
We worked together to map out my new hairline, explained every step, and the treatment itself was way more comfortable than I had expected. The whole process was straightforward and steady from start to finish. No real pain, just a long but easy day getting it done.
Day 3
Aftercare & Departure
On day 3, MetropolMed picked me up for my first wash, changed my dressings, and sent me back with a full aftercare kit. A little swelling, which they informed me will go down over the next couple weeks. After that, I was back on a flight before I even knew it.
Where I went and what it cost
Here's a full breakdown of what I got, where I went, and how much it cost.
