Highly Recommend Dr Ali and AEK Clinic - Excellent Experience!

I recently returned to Australia from Istanbul having undergone a FUE hair transplant at AEK Clinic. I cannot speak highly enough of my experience at the clinic and with Dr Ali. From my initial communications with representatives of the clinic I was put at ease with the clinic’s professionalism and hair transplant expertise. On arrival to the clinic I was impressed with the cleanliness of the clinic and how staff handled everything. They are absolute professionals who take pride in their work. Every step of the hair transplant process was explained, I was told how the day would run and provided detailed after-care instructions (as well as a goodie bag with after care essentials such as shampoo, moisturiser, a hat and medicines). Everything was explained clearly and all my questions were answered. The staff also did a great job at making me comfortable. Breakfast was waiting when I arrived, a wifi password was provided before I requested it and they took great care of me. Gokce, in particular, is incredible - a huge asset to the clinic!
Meeting with Dr Ali was great as he is enthusiastic about hair transplants and is an expert on the subject. He was very honest in his views and I was happy to let him advise on the best look I could achieve with a transplant.
The surgery itself was long (8-9 hours) but we took a short break for lunch. I listed to music for much of the time. The surgery itself was painless. I was really impressed with the finished product because it was neat and quite clean. They were meticulous in transferring each hair and so the result looked natural. After the surgery I went to my hotel where I had a follow up appointment the next day (the bandage over my donor area was removed and my scalp was gently cleaned). Staying at a hotel next to the clinic was extremely convenient and I was impressed with the hotel itself. The room was spacious and comfortable and the breakfast was great. Also, there was a large shopping mall next to the clinic and Silence Hotel – I would definitely advise anyone visiting Turkey to check the mall out as the Turkish clothing stores are excellent. Really high quality clothes, awesome fashion and at very reasonable prices. Shopping quietly was a nice way to spend the day after surgery. Food was delicious.
Overall, I could not be happier with my hair transplant experience at AEK Clinic and with Dr Ali. It has been nearly three weeks since my surgery and my head is looking good. The donor area is healed up and my transplant looks neat and clean. Although my new hairs will not grow out for at least 3-4 months, I am so happy with my AEK experience. The team at the clinic is incredible. To anyone considering getting a hair transplant in Turkey I would highly recommend it. In particular, I would say that you cannot go past AEK clinic and Dr Ali. They are world-class and so good at what they do.
