When searching for hair transplant clinics in Turkey, you’ll quickly notice the wide variety of options and price points. I strongly encourage anyone considering the procedure to take the time to research thoroughly before making a decision. After several months of research, I found Dr. Mehmet Demircioglu to be highly reputable and decided to reach out to his clinic.
The intake process was smooth and straightforward. A clinic representative guided me through the steps, which included answering my questions and submitting photos from different angles. What set Dr. Mehmet apart from other clinics was his personal involvement in every stage of the procedure. Unlike many clinics where the surgeon designs the hairline but is otherwise minimally involved, Dr. Mehmet remains engaged throughout the process and limits himself to a maximum of one patient per day. This level of focus stood out compared to “hair mill” clinics that prioritize volume over quality.
I arrived in Istanbul a few days early to explore the city and stayed at my own hotel. Although I had initially planned to switch to the clinic’s partner hotel, I made a last-minute request to remain at my chosen accommodation, which the clinic readily accommodated. The original hotel cost difference was deducted from the final cost. The transportation service provided by the clinic was also excellent, offering comfortable rides to and from the airport as well as for the procedure.
On the day of the procedure (August 3rd), I had an in-depth consultation with Dr. Mehmet. He took the time to explain each step clearly and answer all of my questions without rushing, which made me comfortable and confident. Together, we designed a conservative hairline that aligned with my expectations.
The procedure was divided into three stages: extractions, incisions, and implantation of the grafts. Breaks were provided between each stage, including a lunch break where pizza and orange juice were served. The anesthesia was the most uncomfortable part, but once it took effect, the rest of the procedure was painless, though lengthy. I recommend bringing Bluetooth earphones for entertainment during the process. In total, 4,500 grafts were implanted.
One of the greatest advantages of choosing Dr. Mehmet’s clinic is the direct access to him post-operation. For the first 10 days, I sent daily photos for his review and received timely feedback. I continue to have the ability to ask questions directly, which has provided great peace of mind.
It has been about a month since my procedure, and everything has been progressing smoothly with no complications. For anyone considering a hair transplant, I strongly recommend Dr. Mehmet and his team. While undergoing a procedure in a foreign country can initially feel daunting, Dr. Mehmet ensured that the entire experience was seamless, professional, and reassuring.
