I had a hair transplant of just over 5000 grafts over 2 days (DHI Sapphire). 500 grafts under the chin of it.
The surgery itself was pretty relaxed except for the anesthesia. I don't even want to imagine how the syringe anesthesia must feel without a needleless pre-anesthesia. Because even the needle-free anesthesia is already unpleasant, but for me clear K.O. criterion, because otherwise you suffer extremely. Through the pre-anesthesia should be up to 70% less pain with the injection. And I believe that, because even with the pre-anesthesia it was still more than unpleasant when the injections came. But fortunately it is only treated at the beginning of the day with a few stitches within 5 minutes. After that you fall asleep and are awakened by your own snoring, because you feel nothing else and just let it do.
The advance consultation was all good, planning too. In Istanbul at the airport, the pickup did not work right away because the driver did not come. After 30 min. I then reached someone by phone and was then ultimately driven by another driver after ner hour waiting time. That was the only thing on the trip that didn't work out. The rest of the transportation was good as well as the care in the clinic.
The hotel/room was also all top. If you sit at breakfast with a bandage, you are incidentally not stared at, because half of the guests share the same fate.
I am now writing the report about 8 weeks later. The healing progressed well. At the back of the head, despite regrowth, there is one or the other spot less - I am curious to see how it grows more densely again in the following months, so that no small holes remain.
As expected, the grafts fall out very easily in the following weeks. I am happy when the growth of the grafts starts later.
All in all, everything was professional and the 2/3 team that was on day 1 also continued the following day. For the opening of the canals (probably the most demanding part) someone comes from room to room and perforates the areas where the nurses then insert the previously removed grafts themselves afterwards.
Once you have managed the first few days of sleeping with a neck pillow, everything is relatively normal again if you take care of yourself.
Overall, everything was very satisfactory and I would go again.
