Regular Member MonteCristo Posted December 3, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted December 3, 2023 Hi, Due to the tragic results of the previous procedure at the clinic of the most famous doctor for FUE in Poland, in September 2022 I started looking for a clinic suitable for me for the repair procedure. Aestepool won out for various reasons that were important to me, among them the participation of the doctor, the planting of hair in an irregular way and a small punch to make the procedure as minimally invasive as possible because I was simply terribly afraid of it. I had a total of probably 3 consultations with consultant Damian where he gave me a lot of knowledge so that I would fly to the procedure with a calm head. I also had my conditions because after what was done to me the previous time I am quite traumatized, the procedure was to be under sedation. I was probably the first Pole in 2 years who asked for this while the wish was fulfilled, I paid 140 euros extra for the anesthesiologist. I flew to Istanbul messed up like I don't know what, the driver as he drove me to the hotel, Dominika(translator/caregiver) called to me for a short chat. The next day she picked me up from the hotel and we drove to the clinic. From this place I would like to thank her very much, because she did not leave me anywhere alone if I was not sure that I was calm. In fact, she spent the whole day with me and helped me with everything. There was a consultation with Dr. Altan, an interview, permanent medications, etc. with everything I had to confess. Then the examination, line planning and shearing of the donor area. The anesthesiologist also came and a bottle of some gas arrived, the anesthesiologist said I would fall asleep right away like at home. I lay down on my back and was given a nasal catheter and something for a venflon. Not a few seconds passed and I was already dizzy and after a maximum of 10 seconds I fell asleep. I only woke up later for a moment as they turned me onto my stomach and I fell fast asleep again. Then I woke up already in the process of taking grafts, Turkish ladies asked from time to time if it hurt(in Polish) also very nice. I asked Dominika to plug in the headphones and listened to Spotify for the rest of this stage. Then channeling by Dr. Altan, lunch, implantation, I needed help from Dominika a few times but managed to get through the day. The next day, hair washing, consultation and back to Warsaw with the people Dominika paired me with so I wouldn't get lost anywhere. At the airport they took me to the premium lounge area(or something like that) where I ate to full for free and filled the empty space in my backpack . In the evening I had led lamp exposure, which was organized by Damian for the best effect . I would like to thank the whole AestePool for the organization, care ❤️ and close monitoring in the coming days after the treatment . For now, I don't want to create another topic about the first procedure, due to the fact that there is a very powerful conflict between me and the doctor, just see the photos. All I can say is doctor said he exercised the utmost diligence and does not feel guilty. After 1st procedure: Final result: REPAIR PROCEDURE: Consultations at the AestePool: Repair day, january 2023: 4th day after: 12 day after: 3 months and 2 weeks: 4 month almost 5 month 5 month: 8 month 10 month, daylight I think I got more than I expect for that money , also I was doing PRP treatments and after which one i saw hudge boost. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member FortunatePatient Posted December 9, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted December 9, 2023 I know this case from polish forum and those post 1 procedure pictures are grusome. It is hard to comprehend how can you put other human being through such trauma. Fortunately the second surgery was major a success. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Tommie Posted December 10, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted December 10, 2023 @MonteCristo The photo after the first procedure looks just terrifying, I'm sorry you had to go through this. Thankfully the second one was carried one fully professionally. As a matter of fact a few days ago I got a promotional mail from one such (in)famous Polish clinic in Warsaw, I'm so glad I haven't fallen for them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member Reina Posted January 13 Regular Member Share Posted January 13 (edited) Great results. This doctor seems to be a great choice at a good price 😀 What reasons made you to choose this doctor ? Edited January 13 by Reina 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This doctor seems to be a great choice at a good price 😀 What reasons made you to choose this doctor ? Thank you. Hard question. It's algorithm 😅 So first I took lesson from first surgery that quality doesnt come always with the price. My consideration was in general between "Turkey" and Bisanga. First surgery and results was tragic so ofc i needed good doctor to fix that. But due to a lot of cost of first surgery, and lawyers(now its 3 law firms) I was trying to find some cheaper clinic. I didnt want to spent again even much more money to fix that. Also there is another thing that I need, id dont know how to call it properly, lets say tutoress(I couldn't cope on my own), so I decided to find some clinic in Turkey. I knew that a lot of people are happy with results from there so I checked a few popular clinics but I didn't find any revierws from patients, only clinic photos. I found Aestepool on Polish forum with a lot of positive reviews, I was analysing them how many grafts they use on speciefic area, how donor looks after surgery, irregular hairline. They bought me that doctor is involved in surgery, polish office, polish tutoress, max 2 patients a day, no intrusive marketing and most imporant thing for me, very small punch. Damian that is at polish office had 3 surgeries there and he doesnt have any scars so i decided to do this at Aestepool.

Regular Member jjalay Posted January 14 Regular Member Share Posted January 14 (edited) You are happy with your results and this is what really matters. But i have to be honest, for other people reading this this hairline work is not good. You have crazy amount of doubles and multiple grafts on the front which stands out, the angles are wrong and the hairline is way to straight. This is not good work.

So your reasons were that this doctor does max 2 patients per day, the doctor is involved in the surgery, the small punch he uses for extractions and his natural hairlines with irregularities. Finally it seems you did the right choice by selecting aestepool clinic. Your result looks very good… 👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you, but I cant agree with 100%, I dont have any triples in hairline, most of them are singles and then doubles(Even at Fuegenix you may have some doubles which doctor admits, but i dont want to compare with them they are top). What do you mean by straight hair line?, pls send pic of not straight hairline. I dont have 50 years to have hair curves i still use id card to buy alcohol and look at first surgery hairline. After experience from first surgery we spent a lot of time to draw hairline that match to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know this patient from Polish forum. He paid around 6000 euros and got butchered by dr. Turkowski from Warsaw. Is he has multiple grafts in the first row? I don't think so. Maybe in the third row. If he wants, he can always have small touch up procedure which will add more singles and make hairline more irregular. But i don't think he cares about it. What matters is that he left behind this sad incident which happened in polish clinic and improved his look significantly.
