I am going home tomorrow after a fantastic experience with Stem Cell and Hair Transplant Surgery. Upfront:100% recommend to anyone serious about this procedure!//nI knew the surgery was right for me but I chose Vera after an internet search showed that it was in the top 10. After submitting the inquiry, Muhamad Khair, reached out to me through iMessage (but WhatsApp is also an option) and walked me through the process. He was superb in support and never pushy. Extremely helpful throughout!//nOnce you make the decision to execute, you acknowledge your commitment by booking the airfare to Istanbul and then Vera sends you information on how to submit a deposit (down payment) and you wait for travel. This is the scariest part for Americans but it is legit. If you aren’t comfortable with wire transfer, credit cards are accepted but Vera charges a fee.//nI recommend paying the remaining balance in cash. This is totally normal and not unusual.//nDon’t expect to get a lot (or any) administrative details until just before you travel. To be honest that is the only downside of Vera. However, it is a very efficient and smooth execution. They pick you up from the airport and take you to an excellent hotel. The hotel exceeded my expectations and was high quality!//nIt was my first time for the treatment and I went all in with Stem Cell Surgery, Hair Transplant, and 6 months supply of shampoo, vitamins, etc. However, there were several returning patients who also bought the shampoos so I felt vindicated in that decision!//nThe Stem Cell Surgery was painless and had I planned better could have integrated Istanbul sightseeing for the day after’s recovery session.//nThe actual transplant procedure was also very similar but a little more uncomfortable towards the end but not painful. I had 4150 graphs and it lasted about 6 hours with a ~30 minute break for lunch in the middle.//nThe day after surgery was spectacular and there wasn’t a single patient that met over the 5 days that had a bad experience or were not totally pleased with their experience.//nI plan to come back in a year to get the rest of my head completed!
