I Had a Wonderful Experience at Smile Hair Clinic
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!
