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!

After conducting extensive research for nearly a year, I decided to trust Dr. Mehmet Erdoğa with my hair transplant surgery, and it turned out to be one of the best decisions I’ve made. His reputation in the field of hair restoration is stellar, backed by years of experience and an unwavering commitment to professionalism. Dr. Erdoğan’s expertise isn’t just in the technical aspects of the procedure but also in his personalized approach, taking the time to understand each patient’s unique needs and concerns. His history in the industry speaks volumes—having successfully performed countless surgeries with natural-looking results that have transformed the lives of many. The more I looked into his work, the more confident I became in his ability to deliver not only a skillful procedure but also a compassionate and transparent patient experience. His clinic is equipped with state-of-the-art technology, and his team is supportive, which further solidified my decision. Overall, I felt completely reassured by his knowledge, dedication, and the positive reviews of countless others who have gone through the same process with him.

SMILE HAIR CLINIC made the entire experience seamless from the start by picking me up from the airport and ensuring I was comfortable throughout the journey. The ride to the hotel was smooth and relaxing, with the driver making sure I felt at ease after my long flight. The level of care and attention they provided right from the airport made a lasting impression, and it set the tone for the exceptional service I would continue to experience throughout my visit. It was a great introduction to what would be an overall smooth and stress-free process.

When I arrived at SMILE HAIR CLINIC, Ceren, the guest representative, made everything incredibly smooth and stress-free. She guided me through every step of the process, answering any questions I had and ensuring I felt comfortable and well-informed. Once I was taken to the operating room, Dr. Mehmet Erdoğan came in, and the first thing he did was draw my hairline with great precision. He then walked me through the entire procedure, explaining how everything would unfold, which gave me a sense of confidence and reassurance. Throughout the process, his assistance team was highly professional, assisting with every detail while making sure I felt at ease. The entire experience was well-organized, and their level of care and professionalism exceeded my expectations.

The entire process with Dr. Mehmet Erdoğan and his team was incredibly professional from start to finish. During the surgery, I didn’t feel any pain at all, which truly amazed me. Dr. Erdoğan took great care in explaining everything and even showed me the hairline he had designed, which gave me confidence in the procedure. The next day, I went back to the clinic for the post-op wash, and once again, everything went smoothly. Dr. Erdoğan personally examined my hairline and reassured me that everything looked great. I also had a consultation with him, where he carefully examined my scalp, confirming that everything was progressing well. Beyond the clinic visits, the online team at Smile Hair Clinic has been exceptional as well. Every time I sent them pictures for updates, they responded promptly and with clear guidance. I’m genuinely glad I chose Smile Hair Clinic and put my trust in such a professional team.

I came for a hair transplant on January 24th, and I had an amazing experience from start to finish. The clinic’s warm welcome, friendly, and attentive team made me feel very comfortable. The procedure was highly professional and comfortable as well. I am currently in the healing process and eagerly waiting for the results. I would like to thank Dr. Mehmet Erdoğan and the Smile Clinic team for their effort. I definitely recommend it to anyone considering a hair transplant.

Well what can I say from the moment arriving at the clinic I was welcomed with such kindness and professionalism, on to the procedure what a fantastic experience from the consultation all the way through getting my transplant done with Dr Mehmet Erdoğan and his experience team around him working so hard they really do care about you nice music to listen too while getting it done they put a blanket on me incase i got cold and the lunch break was outstanding food and it is just a general all round very clean and professional environment I'm so glad I chose to have the V.I.P package because I really did feel like a V.I.P thankyou again Smile hair clinic outstanding work looking forward to seeing my results anyone wanting to get a hairtransplant done this is the place to go AMAZING!!!

I would like to state that I felt safe and comfortable before and after the surgery. In addition, although I received a health service, I was pleased that everyone from the doctor to the security guard was helpful and everyone answered any questions I might have in a very clear way. In addition, I think that the management of the process after the operation was also very successful. Because it is very important to plan the process after hair transplantation well. Both the information guides and what to do step by step visually were well planned. This made me feel safe. I feel really lucky to be in a corporate culture and to meet people who love their profession. I thank Dr. Mehmet Erdoğan and his team very much.

If you’re debating or in limbo about having this procedure done, take it from me and stop overthinking. Have it done as soon as you can and look no further than Smile Hair Clinic. Had mine back in February. Dr. Mehmet Erdoğan was stellar as was the entire staff. For me they are the Gold Standard for clinics in Istanbul & I’m incredibly fortunate to have chosen them. From their consultation, all the way to now & their warm / consistent follow ups. The results are incredible and you truly feel taken care of. Thank you Smile for truly enhancing my life.
