The Battle Against Androgenetic Alopecia
For more than ten years, Oksana struggled with not just hair loss, but with the challenge of her genetics. From the lush brown locks to the visible thinning that began at 16, her journey was marked by temporary fixes.
Despite trying every treatment she could find—plasma therapy to mesotherapy—nothing stopped her hair from falling out. At 30, when she learned she had androgenetic alopecia, a type of genetic hair loss, she knew she needed a lasting solution. Oksana was ready for a real change.
"I've been struggling with hair loss for 10 years, but now I'm about to undergo the most important surgery of my life."
A New Hope with Bookimed
Oksana's quest to address her hair loss led her to Bookimed, where she explored options for treatment both in Ukraine and abroad. After considering various clinics, she settled on Dr. MED Clinic in Istanbul, feeling it best met her needs. Bookimed's coordinators facilitated this choice by sharing the patient's medical profile and photos with the clinic, confirming no preliminary treatments were needed.
Turkey has become a top destination for hair transplants, with approximately 500,000 procedures yearly.
Bookimed arranged a free remote consultation with the clinic for Oksana. This allowed them to tailor the treatment plan to her specific case. They recommended aDHI hair transplant, which could cover up to 70% of her bald areas.
This personalized approach and clear communication from Bookimed gave Oksana the confidence to proceed despite her anxiety about the upcoming surgery and travel abroad. "I'm still incredibly nervous and don't understand what will happen," she shared, reflecting her mixed feelings of hope and concern as she prepared for a significant life change.
The Journey to Istanbul
Even with her reservations, Oksana stayed optimistic, encouraged by the life-changing potential of the surgery. She felt uneasy about the flight, as she had minimal experience with flying. Oksana expressed, "I'm worried about the huge airport and how not to get lost tomorrow, but overall, my emotional state is positive. I'm looking forward to this event."
Bookimed's thorough preparation and support helped ease her worries. VIP service provided her with a comfortable and stress-free ride directly to the clinic.
Surgery Day: From Fear to Relief
"Is there an option to do the transplant without shaving my head completely?"
After settling in, Oksana attended her pre-operative consultations. Initially, she chose a hair implant method that didn't require her head to be fully shaved. During the consultation, she was informed that her hair needed to be cut slightly shorter than initially expected. This news initially shocked Oksana. However, the supportive clinic staff helped her adjust to this change.
Dr. MED Clinic did more than just her surgery. They made sure she felt informed and cared for every step of the way.
