You can also ask about the best places to see in Istanbul on your arrival evening.
- Check-in at your chosen hotel. You can also ask at the hotel for your WIFI code, so you are always available for everyone, even in Turkey. On this day, you have the time at your disposal!

(Tip: Please write down your questions in advance so that you don’t forget anything. Please take your time during this meeting and ask any questions before your operation!). - During this preliminary discussion, it will be determined how many grafts can be removed and how the distribution should be on the head.
