After shaving my head for the best part of 20 years, I decided to grow my hair. I noticed it was uneven, receeding and balding in certain areas and decided to I wanted a hair transplant. My wife spent weeks researching and emailing clinics and came across Diamond Hair Clinic. After reading a multitude of fantastic reviews, we decided to enquire using their online and Whatsapp services. We were so impressed with the initial report, which explained the procedure, using photographs to show where grafts would be put. After a lot of conversation through whatsapp (With lots of before/after photos) and information we decided to book in for the procedure in July. Aside from the personal responses made through this communication, one of the main reasons we chose Diamond Hair Clinic was the ‘1 person per day’ transplant policy. There was some uncertainty because of the pandemic, but not expecting any upfront payment until the day of operation was reassuring and all we needed to do was book our flights as proof of confirmation to set the operation date. It was proposed that Dr Mehmet Demircioglu would complete a Sapphire Fue Hair Transplant and use 5500 grafts. Upon arriving to Istanbul, we were collected by a fantastic transfer driver and taken to our hotel. Operation Day was 22 July 2020 and the grafts were taken from my hair donor area which was to provide high density on the implanted area and cover all empty areas of my head. Just before starting operation, in pre-operation consultation Dr Mehmet evaluated the donor area and necessary hair graft amount again and after that decided to increase operation total graft number to 6500 grafts without any extra charge. Before the beginning of the operation, I had a pre-operation consultation with the doctor face to face. As I was the only patient in that day, Dr Mehmet took his time and the consultation lasted around 1 hour. This was very reassuring as he took his time to plan the hairline in consultation with me and I was confident with his expertise. Doctor designed natural hairline that contained irregular areas and little waves so it did not look straight and un-natural. The doctor checked hairline again and again. During operation the doctor controlled everything. The operation was expected to take 9-12 hours and ended up taking 14 hours. After the operation doctor explained to you after the operation process, medications and important instructions. It was mentioned during the consultation that out of 500 clinics in Istanbul, Diamond Hair clinic was one of approx. 5 that offered aftercare. This shocked me that there are places that wouldn’t offer this! After the operation, the doctor gave me his personal number, and I could contact him daily with photo updates for the progress of the healing process. The day after operation, a member of the Diamond Hair Clinic Team came direct to our hotel to wash and check my hair. Upon arriving home, I sent 4 photos (of each side of head) after every washing process to doctor for checking where I was given personal advice for how to take care of my healing head. Although it has only been 2 weeks and I have a long healing process ahead, I am pleased with my progress and definitely made the right decision choosing Dr Mehmet! Thank you.
