mixed feelings,
My experiencewith Istanbul Hair Center is mixed/negative. I'm going to list just the facts objectively: I have been promised 3500/4000 fue, on my forehead and crown. After the transplant I had no way to understand how much I actually got.
I first met a doctor in their studio, with a reassuring manners and knowledge, I quickly liked him and the team and decided chose this clinic.
On the day of the operation, surprisingly the doctor was not present, he wasn't the one who operated me. I got the transplant done by 2 young foreign ladies.
After 9 months, I believe I lack density, the main part I wanted to fix was the forehead and I'm not satisfied.
In the crown area, even worse, it seems as if nothing has been transplanted.
The clinic won't answer from their official email, the post operation customer service is carried on via whatsapp, clearly not by a doctor but a middle person who answers in a condescending way, telling me just to wait. After 6 months I asked a direct question " can you confirm I still have not reached the desired density? " and the customer service avoided a straight answer, they said: "The hair growth process is going according to plan. The density of the hair and the result is good" Well I'm not sure about it.
I showed my photos to other doctors and I have been told that the desired density has not been achieved.
What really made me choose Istanbul Hair Center was the professional manner of the doctor ( who did not operate me ) and the extremely competitive price, 1000€. So I'm giving 2 starts , because I cannot say I did not get results. However, if I knew that I was going to be operated by some random person and that I wouldn't have achieved the promised density, I wouldn't have chosen this clinic.
If over the next few months something magical will happen and I will get the planned density in my forehead and crown, I will happily amend this reference and add my humble personal apologies.
Oh about reviews, mine got suspiciously rejected by google, and watch out for the short generic ones made by users with just 1 reiview😉
