I can recommend the Smile Hair Clinic. From the initial consultation to the post-operative care, the team demonstrated exceptional professionalism, transparency, and care. The staff was incredibly knowledgeable and made me feel comfortable every step of the way. They thoroughly explained the procedure, set realistic expectations, and answered all my questions with patience and honesty. On the day of the surgery, everything was smooth, clean, and well-organized. The doctors and technicians were skilled and attentive, ensuring the process was virtually painless. Post surgery consultations are also good. The clinic cares about my post treatment checks and give me all information needed to feel comfortable.
Dr. Ahmedov was attentive to my concerns and was great in helping to plan for my procedure. His guidance on the hair line/temple design was very helpful. His calming and supportive demeanor was very appreciated

I had a wonderful experience at Smile Hair Clinic in Istanbul. I'm 51 years old and I figured this was a great time to have this procedure done, in all honesty I wish I had done it sooner. My procedure was on April 29, 2025. Smile Hair Clinic really makes it easy for people coming from all corners of the world. The clinic arranges all transportation and hotel booking; I booked the flights several weeks in advance of my appointment. All communication is done in WhatsApp. I left the U.S. on Sunday evening and arrived in Istanbul Monday afternoon. The clinic has a driver pick you up at the airport, he takes you to a 5-star hotel, the next day the driver takes you to the clinic where you'll meet with the medical team and you'll have your procedure that day. The next day again, a driver drives you from the hotel to the clinic where you'll have your post-op appointment, then drives you afterwards to the airport to fly home. At the clinic, I met guys from Russia, the Middle East, Europe, and the U.S. Some people choose to stay an extra day or two, but in my case, I was only there for 3 days. It's been 11 weeks since my procedure and I'm very happy with the results so far. After 6-9 months I'm sure the results will be even better. We had only 3900 grafts to work with in my case, the other guys I spoke with, who were all younger I think, had a higher number of grafts than me, but everyone's different. The medical team were very professional and excellent; communication was never a problem. I was assigned to Dr. Ahmedov and he knows his stuff, he is very knowledgeable, he advised where my new hairline should be, and I agreed 100%. Since I'm in my 50s I wanted something age appropriate. Smile Hair Clinic really takes care of you; they treat you like a VIP. So don't worry about logistics because everything is arranged for you. Best of luck!
Pretty happy with the whole experience, transportation was good, surgery day was good, hotel was nice, after-care stuff they give you is nice, communication pre and post op is good, I have no real complaints
Amazing doctor, very Nice human being. Everything was explained professionally. I trusted the Doctor with every step of the procedure, now I am just waiting for the results but since Dr. Ahmedov gained my trust I am not worrying that much.
Dr Firdav oversaw my hair transplant surgery and it was performed by Ismael, Damla and Hilal. They were all extremely skilled and professional. I could tell the had given it their absolute best effort at the end of what was a very long day. The whole team at Smile clinic worked extremely hard to give me the safest and best experience possible and I am truely grateful for this.
Honestly, I hesitated for a long time about whether I should go to a clinic. My hair started falling out quite noticeably, and I tried to deal with it on my own — shampoos, vitamins, various treatments — but nothing really worked. At some point, I just got tired of constantly worrying about my hair, choosing the right angles, and trying to cover up thinning spots. I decided to take a chance and have a hair transplant at Hair Smile Clinic. And you know what — I haven't regretted it for a second. The doctors explained everything in detail, showed examples, and created a personal treatment plan for me. The procedure went smoothly, and the recovery was easier than I expected. It’s been a few months now — the results are already visible, new hair is growing, and my hairline looks natural. I feel much more confident, no longer hiding under caps or hoodies. Even in photos, I finally look good without having to edit anything. Big thanks to the team at the clinic for their professionalism and care. If I had known it would turn out this well, I would have done it much earlier.
Hello, The overall experience with Smile Clinic was great from pre and after the operation. They did a fantastic job at organizing all the shuttles in coordination with the flight. The procedure it self took less time than expected. I didn’t feel a thing. My experience with my doctor was great as he did a good job at explaining how the process will go. Although, he wasn’t doing the procedure, he was there to supervise all the time. The staff was very friendly and so was my Patient Experience Case Manager Ceren. I can’t wait to the results in a couple of months. Overall, I’m satisfied with the results.
I am truly satisfied with my experience at Smile Hair Clinic. The staff was extremely professional and welcoming from the very first moment. A special thanks to Ceren, my Patient Experience Case Manager, who supported me throughout the process with great care and availability. The treatment went smoothly, and the results exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend this clinic to anyone looking for high-quality service and excellent customer care!
Hello, the hardness of this surgery depends on anatomy and eyebrow arch (bony structure of eyebrow area). This structure signifies if the operation will be hard or not to perform.
It is better to do a beard transplant first and 2-3 weeks later perform the jaw procedure. Because during the surgery the patient needs to lay on his face. Ideal world do jaw surgery and 4-6 months later beard or beard and 2-3 weeks later jaw surgery.
Every individual is unique so how one's body reacts to different chemicals is also uniqe and hard to foresee. That is why we suggest our patients to try other alternatives when he got some side -effects from a medicine post transplant.

Hello, for your case 1 month will be enough for your grafts to be secure. So, you need wait for at least one month to have your PRK surgery after your FUE Hair Transplant Surgery.
Crown area is a little bit more difficult area for transplant comparing to other areas of scalp. It is also important to see the previous photos to decide it is a good result or not. But if you are not comfortable with the results you can demand another operation with a professional to increase the density in the crown. If medication did not work this is a good option.
