It’s been three weeks now since I underwent my hair transplant at Vera Clinic in Turkey having 2300 grafts to the crown & 2000 to the front. Obviously the real mark of how successful the procedure has been will not be for several months yet, however I’ll give a review of my experience to date.//n//nEvery element I’ve encountered to date has been impressive & extremely professional. During the planning stages, Oz my contact at Vera was very helpful & answered any questions I had promptly & comprehensively.//n//nThe clinic itself is state of the art & everyone within very friendly & professional. There are different staff at different stages (so bare this in mind if you’re expecting one person (Doctor) to be with you the whole time) however that was not a problem as everyone appeared competent at their respective roles & a friendly interpreter is there throughout.//n//nDuring my research I had read (and in fact concurred by a friend who had been there and indeed others in the clinic the same time as me) that the anaesthetic injections are quite painful. Now one thing that is available but in my opinion not very well publicised is the option to have, in addition to the oral (tablet) sedation, intravenous sedation (I think it’s identified as ‘NFI’ on the literature) there is no additional cost for this but you have to ask for it, I did ask for it and can honestly say I hardly felt any pain at all either by the injections, extractions & transplanting, in fact lying face down during the extractions was rather relaxing & I found myself drifting off now & then. Vera Clinic, something to consider making more widely known??//n//nAt the end of the procedure day I banged by head leaving the car at the hotel entrance (my own fault!!) The driver was extremely attentive, rang the clinic and duly took me back for them to re-insert the five or six grafts I had dislodged & then brought me back to the hotel…..excellent customer service.//n//nYou will meet others undergoing exactly the same as yourself at the clinic and / or hotel… I highly recommend exchanging numbers as I’m now in a WhatsApp group with five others from all over the world who have been these past three weeks (& hopefully beyond) a great source of ‘self help’//n//nSo as I said at the beginning the real determination of success will be a few months away yet, however although early days all the recovery appears to be going to schedule & I’m very satisfied with the Vera service before, during and to date after the procedure .. I would recommend
