Reviews you can trust, from real people like you.
How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- 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.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

Booked into Maral hair klinik in Istanbul in early...
Booked into Maral hair klinik in Istanbul in early June.
Dr. Maral's office was very quick to reply to my e-mails. That, and the fact that I could only uncover one negative review relating to the man (which did sound suspiciously like a competitor), helped me to decide on this clinic. The pictures and reviews posted by many on this website also helped me to decide. Thanks to those people by the way... I'll keep posting pictures and updates as I progress. Hopefully I can help somebody else. All the best.

Procedure completed 7th June
All went well at Maral Klinik. Everything ran very smoothly including pick-up at airport, accommodation and most importantly, the procedure itself.
Met Dr. Maral at 11am to decide on hairline which corresponded almost exactly to what I had in mind beforehand. I did forget to ask about the amount of grafts required and only found out afterwards that the number was 3200. I'm quite happy with that because an over-depleted donor zone, I would not be happy with.
Operation took about 6 hours with about 20 minute break for dinner. The surgical team were very professional and took great care of their work.
I notice in the photo that my hairline is just a bit off looking which is surprising because they took great care in measuring and drawing the hairline. I think the fact that a litre of water was injected into my scalp in order to tighten the skin (as the Dr. described) may have had an effect on it. It's back perfectly straight now anyway and I'm happy with it.
I'm on day 6 now and scabbing is beginning to disappear. I'll post up my progress after about ten days.

5 weeks post op
I am now 5 weeks post op. The redness has pretty much subsided and nobody has commented at any stage. At about ten days after returning from Turkey I went out and met some friends - none of the transplanted hairs had begun to fall out at that stage and my hair looked pretty good. Nobody noticed a thing and believe me they would have commented on it had they noticed.
I then progressed to the so called ugly-duckling stage. I decided to cut hair all round to 3mm or a grade 1. This was against the advice of Dr. Maral but as the hair grew it became more noticable that something had changed as my natural hair had thinned out considerably from shock loss.
The pictures show my progress at 5 weeks under daylight with hair at 3mm length. Under soft lighting I can see my new hairline plainly and all hair is beginning to thicken up now. Here's hoping the progress continues.....
