Need help deciding on the best clinic for FUE

[CarlosGF]

Hello Guys!

As promised, here is my update.
I'm really happy with the experience at the Medikemos clinic. I imagined the experience to be much more impersonal, but in reality I felt at home because of the way they treated me. The personal attention of Dr. Lupanzula surprised me a lot. Really, the entire staff was wonderful.

As for the operation, I spent almost all of the time sleeping. The only really painful part was when they administered the local anesthetic via injection - that was horrible. But once numb I felt nothing.

I was given a menu to choose from for lunch. The Dr. and his assistants had their meal together with me which made me feel all the more welcome and looked after.
Throughout the entire surgery the doctor was by my side and untertook all surgical steps himself. I felt well taken care of. I was offered to watch movies or series, but on the first day I did not feel like it. I preferred to sleep.
After the operation I felt good, I did not really have any pain - I guess that was mostly thanks to the painkillers

All I had to do was to spray a saline solution (which was given to me by the clinic) on the transplanted area every half hour, and sleep with my head raised (at a 45 degree angle so I was told) to avoid swelling.

Unfortunately my wife and I had chosen a terrible hotel, Hotel Aviation, that looked good on the pictures but was filthy, old and disgusting...the only good thing was that it was very close to the clinic. Next year for my second operation we will definitely stay elsewhere.


Below are the photos of my first day of operation:
