The operation took more than 8 hours, the stamina of the staff can only be envied :)
The whole process, starting from arrival in the city, is perfectly fine-tuned and automated, everything is thought out, you don't have to think or worry about anything at all.
I was picked up from the airport, brought to the hotel, and told in advance how to prepare for the operation. The hotel is 4 stars, located in the centre of Istanbul. It has a large comfortable room, breakfast is included, and there is an inexpensive café across the road if you don't want to bother with lunch.
On the day of the operation I was picked up from the hotel and taken to the clinic. Excellent professional team of doctors, we transplanted almost 5000 grafts, although we expected 3500-4000 by standard. The operation took more than 8 hours, the stamina of the staff can only be envied :)
The post-operative care was also excellent - they provided all the most necessary things and medications for post-operative recovery, and vitamins and hair restoration spray for an extra charge.
A special thanks to the clinic for the fact that when I arrived in Istanbul a few days earlier and initially checked into my hotel, they picked me up from the airport, drove me to my hotel, and transferred me to my hotel from the clinic the day before the operation. This is a very nice bonus from the clinic, for which I am very grateful!
It's been 10 days after the operation, some exact result will be in 3-4 months, as I was told, but already I can see that it is much better than it was :)
Automation of the whole process: from arrival to departure. Attentiveness and professionalism of the staff. Assistance of an interpreter. Constant accompaniment and care of the patient: before, during and after the operation. Good price. Comfortable accommodation and delivery conditions. Beautiful city, 2 days after the operation you can walk around quietly, admiring the local sights.
There was a lack of entertainment during the operation, the TV didn't work, it was boring.
Bookimed helped me find a great clinic. Thank you for your almost round-the-clock help in finding the best clinic and advice on all medical and non-medical issues that arose.
