Worst Treatment Experience Ever
$3,401
When I was searching for a good clinic for my FUE, my gaol was to find a doctor who will do the whole procedure by himself. I think I got tired from search at the end, plus Dr. Cinik was fully booked, so I went with Arslan (every day I suggested was open for him). (I also saw some posts that take about good results with him, but did nto show any photos, I hope they are not fake ones)
Before procedure: I met Dr. Arslan at one of the esthetic clinics. Asmaa was there because he does not speak English . I started to explain about my front line and head and my expectations, he said "just leave your head to me". Then he stood 2 meters away from me and started dancing in place while focusing on my head! (That looked strange for me) Suddenly three ladies entered the office we were using and they started to use the space as if we where invisible in the room. They did not address Dr. Arslan by greeting or even by looking at time. One of the ladies sat at the desk and was talking to the other two ladies. Neither Dr. Arslan nor Asmaa have made any comment to them they just stayed quite until they left the room. After they left they asked me for the payment, 3000$. I know know this is ridiculously high price and average price is 1500$. I admit I was naive. During the procedure: The room was small, bed was very uncomfortable, specially at the head bed area. It si nto the room they sent to me in picture.(Now i know that more trusted centers do their procedures in hospital not in clinics) Dr. Arslan was impulsive and aggressive while handling my head during the procedure. He was not gentle at all. The anesthesia was really painful (but I think it is just what it is!) After the procedure: when I looked at my head, i was HORRIFIED! The hairline looked bizzar to me! Before the procedure I told him not to make it look V shaped at the front, but then he did it like that.Another problem with he hairline a t the temple area on both sides, it was going was backward, does not make any sense! I told him right away that I do nto understand what hairline is that! He said it will look better after the edema subsides. I knew it was nto jut the edema. I asked him how many follicles he grafted, he thought about it then said 2600. The first wash. They did nto send me transportation , i paid for the way to the office and back to the hotel When we met I told him I am not happy with this hairline.His answer to me was "are you taking Seroquel"? He started attacking me saying that I should see a doctor to take medicine because I am depressed! I kept my calm, redirected the conversation to the procedure. He again was aggressive and said the F word! I told him, this is the fist time in my life to know that doctors can use the F word with their patients! His aggressive attitude could nto stand against the truth: it was a disastrous procedure. I made him sign a paper that will correct the hairline on another procedure, However, I left the office know that I will never let him operate on my head ever again. The next few days I spent looking for a fix for my hairline. Everyone saw it agreed it does not look good. I consulted with Dr. Yetkin Bayer, has very decent and professional attitude I saw people who did their procedure with Dr. Cinik, they have very good results. I visited Renova clinic as well, their patients are generally satisfied. Hair transplant is very delicate procedure that costs a lot, time, efforts, comfort, convenience, money and health wise! Some of the changes wont be reversible! There is a lot of deceptive and commercial marketing, It is important things go very well. With Dr. Arslan, everything was just very bad: professionalism/attitude, results, technique, and cost.

We need to clarify about your situation:
Before arriving in Istanbul, we inform every patient about Dr Arslan assessment clearly, through email.
After having unsuccessful FUT , Dr Arslan estimated the grafts number regarding to the pictures and how the implantation will be performed for your case, since the density level of donor area was very weak.
The surgery day, we have also shown interest and relevance to you because you are a doctor, Dr Arslan drew the frontal line, we discuss about that together.
Just to remind, you said that you are disappointed about your first surgery with your doctor in Egypt.
At the end, the final line was approved by you and you said that you liked as Dr Arslan.
You know already that all our surgeries are performed by Dr Arslan and it takes 7 to 8 hours per operation. The extraction and the channels are performed by Dr Arslan himself that’s why we accept just 2 patients per day maximum.
We are not a factory we could take 40 patients per day. Dr Arslan works on the quality not the quantity.
The implantation was performed on the blue line that Dr Arslan drew it before the surgery.
You are looking for 4000 grafts, Dr Arslan told you that 4000 grafts will damage your donor area by leaving bald spots on the back. Also, after implanting 4000 grafts, 15% don’t grow.
2 days after the surgery you came and asked to get half of the amount back (all the conversation and the pictures are recorded).
you are saying that you didn’t have a good result at 2 days post-op for an FUE Hair Transplant.
the final result is at 12 months not 2 days post-op.
Your surgery was April 1st and your review were posted on April 3rd.
You need to wait 12 months to judge
İn Turkey, you can find very low prices when the nurses do the surgery, since you are not looking for the quality and the good result you could just go and pay the lowest price. We didn’t force you, we gave our quote and you accepted to come and pay 3000 USD.
We did what we offered as package:
The Hair Transplant Package will cover:
✅ FUE Hair Transplant
✅ One injection session of Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) which fortifies the grafts and boosts a good regrowth of the hair.
✅ The medicine.
✅ 3 nights reservation hotel 4* (with breakfast): The Peak Hotel
✅ The airport transfer service (on arrival day and departure day)
✅ Follow up for 1 year by Dr ARSLAN
