  • Für meine Haartransplantation kam nur die Elitklinik in Istanbul , 3 Stunden Flug von Nürnberg in Frage. Ich hatte mich weder viel darüber belesen oder vorab tief ins Detail erfragt ! Mir war klar , was die Haartransplantation betrifft ist die Elitclinic in Istanbul die weltführende Spitze ! Abholung am Flughafen ,top. Ankunft und Eindruck der Clinic war eine moderne, bestens ausgestattete Privatklinik mit ihrem weltweit bekannten und anerkannten Dr. Balwi. Sofortige Untersuchungen starteten mit höchst professinalen Mitarbeiter und Ärzte in deutscher Sprache . Nächsten Tag begann pünktlich die Operation meines kompletten Oberkopf , schmerzfrei und nach der Behandlung keine Probleme !!! Es lief allles super . Ich hatte ein wunderschönes Einzelzimmer mit ständigen Kontakt zu den Ärzten znd Schwestern . Ich empfehle 3 Tage zu bleiben . Ich empfehle aufjeden Fall die Ozonbehandlung mit zu buchen , sowie die Eigenbluthandlung das Euer gesamtes Gesundheitspaket zu 100 % vorbeteitet ist !!:Vertraut einfach auf die Elit Clinic. Es ist top hier !

  • Pourtant, tout avait parfaitement commencé: - Transfert depuis l'aéroport sans attente et dans un véhicule VIP. - Clinique vraiment magnifique. - Différents examens (prise de sang, composition cheveux...) qui s'enchainent sans attente avec des collaborateurs réservés et très courtois. Puis 1ère désillusion avec le médecin (Pas le docteur Balwi que personne n'a vu durant les 3 jours) pour le traçage de la ligne frontale. Sur les différentes publications que j'avais vu, le médecin utilise dans ce cas un outil avec laser et arc de cercle métallique. Ici, rien de tel. Elle trace à main levée ce qui en soit ne serait pas un problème si c'était bien fait. Dans mon cas, la courbe de la ligne frontale gauche était plus reculée d'environ 3-4 mm. Heureusement que l'interprète a abondé dans mon sens car sinon, je ne suis même pas sûr que le docteur aurait accepté de rectifier. Ensuite, la greffe proprement dite qui pose le plus de problèmes: - Après l'anesthésie, sur une durée de 7h de greffe, pas une fois un médecin ou l'interprète ne sont passés. - Les 2 jeunes "techniciens" d'une vingtaine d'année(5 à 10 ans d'expérience, je n'y crois pas une seconde) ont donc été livrés à eux-mêmes pendant les 7 heures de greffe. Mais ce qui m'a le plus choqué, c'est leur comportement. Autant, le personnel qui fait les examens préalables me semble très professionnel, réservé et courtois, autant les jeunes qui ont greffé n'ont pas arrêté de ricaner, rire aux éclats pendant 7h. Pourquoi les blâmer puisqu'aucun "adulte responsable" ne passe voir si tout se passe bien pendant 7H. La dernière heure, ça a été encore pire avec 4 nouveaux jeunes qui sont venus dans la pièce (qui avaient fini leur propre greffe je suppose) et ont chahuté pendant 1h. Dans la salle d'attente de l'aéroport, on s'est regroupés à plusieurs greffés qui ne nous connaissions pas pour se sentir moins seuls pour "affronter" le regard des gens. Celui qui avait payé le moins cher avait payé 900€, moi le plus cher, 3100€. C'était un choix de ma part par sécurité je pensais de choisir la plus grande clinique de Turquie (d'Europe?) qui même si c'était la plus chère des tarifs qu'on m'avait proposé en Turquie était 3 fois moins chère qu'en France. Depuis, on échange nos photos par Whatsapp et c'est ce qui me fait le plus regretter d'avoir choisi Elithair car c'est moi qui a les moins bons résultats avec un manque évident de densité. Alors que mon cas n'était pas compliqué puisque le vertex et la tonsure n'étaient pas touchés par la calvitie. Il fallait juste abaisser la ligne frontale de 3cms.
