How it works

- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.

Botched 2500 Graft Transplant from Hair of Istanbul
Iam almost post 13 months from my procedure and can say that going to hair of istanbul has been the greatest disappointment of my life, the consultation was extremely rushed, i didnt see any doctors and they did not understand my needs at all, i wasnt told important information like how many grafts would be used or even how far back i would be comfortable having my head shaved.
Immediately after the transplant i was very distraught as they supposedly used up 2500 grafts for a very small amount of lowering, less than 1cm, furthermore hair was transplanted in places i did not want such as my sideburns which i always had shaved off, i complained about this as i wanted a conservative procedure and thought they would not be wasteful with my grafts, but they assured me i would be happy with the result, even after my donor looked subpar and my progress was slow the customer representative only told to me wait till 12 months and after 10 months had passed and i still had poor growth they get got defensive and responded rudely.
I waited to 12 months and the results speak for themselves, extremely poor growth especially for such the high graft count in the area used.
I was called by another representative, after leaving a bad review, who seemed to be genuinely apologetic for my result and gave me a full refund with an offer to get a second procedure at what i assumed to be no charge, i am not taking this offer as iam not willing to let myself be operated on at a clinic that has already severly disappointed me. I am now looking into getting a repair procedure with my remaining grafts to get a result i can be happy with. I had no prior hair loss and only needed a minor transplant, i was a very easy case to work on but now hair of istanbul has complicated things a lot for me as i dont feel like i can get a third procedure as so much hair was wasted in this procedure.
Do not be fooled by the high price and good reviews; hair of istanbul is a hair mill, even to this day i do not know who was responsible for my botch job, its literally like playing roulette, honestly looking back i could have gotten such a better result from a named doctor with the money i paid.
I will probably regret this decision for my entire life, i have never felt so angry, anxious and upset before, the offer for a second procedure and refund are the only reasons why iam leaving a 2 star review, iam hoping my next transplant can fix this mess so i can move on.
