Anders: I am sure that my quality of life will improve and that is thanks to YOU!

I want to start by thanking all the fantastic people who were with me over these 2 days.

Since the age of four I have had a ”burn injury” on a large part of the left side of my head. Having these bald patches troubled me a lot, since they did not look natural. Now at the age of 26 I have decided to really do something about it. Finding the right method was no problem. The FUE method is superior to all other methods and I ascertained this after a lot of research. Finding a genuine and professional clinic was the most important thing. I was in touch with several but decided on the Ilter Clinic, very much because I noticed in my dealings with them that they knew their job.

Anyway, the time came for the operation. At 8 a.m. on a Saturday, the first person I meet is Dr. Demir, with a warm welcome and a wide smile. He wonders how I am feeling and I tell him that I have looked forward to this for a long time. Dr. Demir tells me what we will be doing over these days and we slowly get started. The assistants were all very cheerful. Relaxing and feeling secure and at home is no problem when you can get up, drink, watch a film or whatever you want, whenever you want.

The operation itself was painless, as the area being treated was anaesthetised. When Dr. Demir finished taking out the transplants it was time to put them in place. This was also completely painless. Four films and one lunch later the first day was over. Pictures were taken as documentation and I was given some painkillers to take with me and some sleeping pills ifhey should be needed. They were not, thank goodness, and I was able to sleep without difficulty.

The second day started as pleasantly as the first. It would be a shorter day but in the end it took almost as long as the first, but only because they wanted to achieve an optimum result. I participated during the entire treatment, deciding where I wanted to have the transplants and it felt good to be asked while the treatment was going on.

When the treatment was over I felt great relief, because I hope that this will strengthen my self-confidence and I will be able to let this go, which has weighed heavily on me through my teenage years and until now.

I want to thank everyone who was with me, Dr. Demir and his team. You made me feel at home and relaxed. It is a difficult combination to be friendly, warm and at the same time as professional as you are, but you have achieved it 100%. I am sure that my quality of life will improve and that is thanks to YOU!!
