I spent a long time researching various places in Istanbul to get a hair transplant. I then contacted about four or five different places in Istanbul via wattsapp.Each company were very similar apart from the Dr Hakan Clinic. When I had contacted the other comanies they were very direct, wanted pictures of my head almost immediately and responded within 30 minutes to let me know how many grafts I needed, how much money it would cost etc. They then proceeded to ask me immediately when could I come over and get booked in. First of all I was thinking surely a surgeon hasn't looked at photos of my head and made a detailed analysis in that time. And why are they so keen for me to book a flight straight away. Speaking with Koray at the Dr Hakan Clinic I had the complete opposite experience. He was so helful in answering all questions I had to ask over a number of days. He never once asked any questions that were pressuring and only until I was finished asking all questions did we then proceed to send photos of my head. After about 3 days or so Koray got back to me letting me know Dr Hakans analysis of what my procedure would entail. He let me know how many grafts, what the shape of my new hairline etc would look like. I then went back and forth with him asking alot more questions over the next few days. Again, not once was I ever pressured to book a flight or book the hair transplant. Once I was happy, I asked if I could pencil in a date for both me and my dad as we wanted to get one done on the same day. Another big factor of me choosing Dr Hakan is that they only do two surgeries a day. Which I always thought you would get better care and actually get your hair transplant done by a medically trained surgeon. Which some of the other companies you see doing 50 to 100 procedures a day you won't recieve that bespoke care. Me and my dad travelled from Manchester to Istanbul where we were greeted by a driver that the Dr Hakan Clinic had arranged for us. The driver then took us to our accomodation which was Marriot appartments, in the same building as the surgery. The apartments were beautiful and had everything you need and highly recommend anyone booking them when given the two accomodation options. Day 1 - Stem cell treatment for myself. I recieved excellent care from all the staff there. Especially after I feinted getting my bloods done haha! The whole treatment was great and nowhere near as painful as I thought it would be!Day 2 - We were booked in for our surgery at 7:10am which was the same time as the stemcell treatment the day before. I was keen to learn from my mistakes the previous day and woke up alot earlier to get a good intake of food and water on board. We went to the surgery and met Dr hakan, Koray and the team at 7:10am. We firstly got our bloods taken from the nurse which was all routine and perfectly fine. We then got alot of pictures taken and then afterwards got our heads shaved. From there we sat in with Dr Hakan and Koray to which they designed our new hairlines to a really quality natural look. Once we were happy we then proceeded to the operating theatre. I firstly lay on my stomach where the numbing needles where applied to the back of my head. The numbing needles do hurt a bit but nothing you cant handle!! The extraction took 3 hours and the implanting around 4 to 5 hours! I was comfortable throughout the whole thing. The doctor contructed the hairline and his team followed on with the back filling. Koray and the doctor were constantly popping in and out to see if I was ok. The whole team was brilliant and I felt in great care the whole time. Day 3 - We went back the next day for bandage removal. Again the care we recieved was second to none and I cant praise the doctor and his team enough from start to finish. We then got given all of our aftercare stuff we needed. They demonstrated everything we needed to do along with giving us tutorial videos. It was a five star experience throughout the whole thing to which we felt very comfortable all the way! I would recommend Dr Hakan and his team to everyone. I thought about it for a long time and now that I have done it can only think why didn't I do it earlier with the experience I have had with Dr Hakan! Looking forward to the results!!!
