Here
is
a
more
detailed
report
of
the
hair
transplant:
When
we
arrived
at
the
airport,
we
went
to
exit
14.
There
should
be
someone
standing
there
with
an
Elithair
sign.
Unfortunately
the
colleague
didn't
hold
up
the
sign,
but
I
was
able
to
ask
around.
In
total
there
were
around
15
people
at
the
exit
who
were
then
to
be
driven
to
the
clinic.
About
7
people
per
car
were
brought
to
the
clinic
in
a
very
comfortable
van.
The
waiting
time
between
arrival
at
exit
14
and
departure
was
around
30
minutes
->
so
completely
OK
and
very
well
coordinated
with
the
flights.
The
journey
to
the
clinic
took
about
1
hour,
but
Fenerbahce
had
a
home
game
that
day,
which
meant
that
every
journey
that
day
was
slightly
delayed.
When
we
arrived
at
the
clinic,
all
data
was
recorded,
blood
was
taken,
ECG
was
done,
scalp
scans,
hair
analysis,
hairline
planning,
graft
calculation,
payment
and
shaving
were
carried
out.
All
of
this
took
about
5
hours
(with
a
relatively
long
wait,
but
there
was
also
a
lot
going
on
that
day).
After
the
clinic
visit
we
went
to
the
“luxury
hotel”.
After
a
30
minute
drive
we
arrived
at
the
Marriot
Hotel.
Really
nice
hotel,
with
spa
and
everything.
But
it
was
explained
to
me
that
my
reservation
had
been
canceled
and
a
driver
would
now
be
called
would
have
to...after
a
while
a
driver
came
and
took
me
to
a
4-star
hotel
(Four
Points
by
Sheraton).
In
short:
I
landed
in
Istanbul
at
4
p.m.,
I
was
in
my
hotel
room
at
11:30
p.m.,
so
everything
was
fine.
Unfortunately,
no
more
dinner
because
you
have
to
stay
sober
during
the
procedure!
On
the
second
day
I
was
picked
up
from
outside
the
hotel
at
6:30.
The
driver
was
there
on
time
for
pickup.
When
you
arrive
at
the
clinic,
everything
is
locked
in
a
safe.
You
are
led
into
a
room
where
an
entrance
is
made.
Apparently
the
colleague
wasn't
very
experienced
as
it
took
a
few
attempts
to
hit
the
vein,
but
that
was
probably
due
to
the
early
morning
;)
The
sedation
went
great,
I
had
lovely
dreams
and
had
absolutely
no
pain.
It
took
our
colleagues
around
5
hours
for
3700
grafts
(removal
around
2
hours,
insertion
around
3
hours).
I
had
no
pain
and
was
able
to
listen
to
music/podcasts
the
whole
time.
The
only
criticism
of
the
whole
thing
was:
The
ladies
who
carried
out
the
treatment
talked
throughout...
There
were
2-5
people
in
the
room
at
the
time.
And
you
know
it:
one
person
tells
a
joke
or
makes
a
saying
at
work,
boom,
the
whole
team
laughs.
Please
don't
misunderstand:
it's
absolutely
okay
to
have
fun
at
work!
But
not
having
at
least
2-3
minutes
of
rest
for
5
hours
at
a
time
is
really
tiring.
I
talked
to
other
patients
and
they
also
complained
about
the
amount
of
conversation.
After
the
treatment
you
go
back
to
the
hotel.
You
are
allowed
to
eat
and
drink
(no
alcohol,
not
too
salty/greasy,
etc.).
My
first
night
was
okay,
I
didn't
need
any
painkillers
or
anything
like
that.
The
follow-up
examination
took
place
on
the
third
day.
This
also
went
quickly
and
well.
You
receive
medication
and
another
consultation.
German
interpreters
are
also
available,
so
there
are
no
language
barriers.
The
trip
to
the
airport
went
well,
unfortunately
a
little
late,
but
luckily
my
plane
was
also
late.
Overall:
Very
well
organized,
of
course
little
things
can
always
be
improved,
but
you
can
tell
that
the
system
works
well
there.
I
personally
can
recommend
the
hair
transplant
at
Elithair.
