Overview

  • After returning to Germany from a seven-hour hair transplant in Turkey, the reality TV entrepreneur developed a very high fever and said he was "shortly before sepsis."
  • He spent the weekend in a Darmstadt hospital on IV treatment and was discharged Monday, April 27, and he is now recovering at home.
  • The procedure itself initially went smoothly by his account, with structured care, anesthesia in a hospital setting, and full on-site support.
  • He declines to blame the Turkish provider and notes complications can occur anywhere, recalling that a previous transplant in Düsseldorf led to an opened scalp suture.
  • He says the transplant cost about €3,500 in Turkey versus roughly €9,000–€15,000 in Germany, a wide price gap that draws patients abroad but can make safe travel and aftercare harder to plan.
