Yeah it is a clinic that definitely produces good results, that's the main reason I chose to get my HT carried out here.
I honestly didn't encounter one single problem the whole time I was there. I couldn't believe how smoothly everything went from me arriving at Istanbul Airport and meeting the driver to take me to the hotel to the staff at the clinic getting me a taxi to take me back to the airport to go home.
Not all of the staff speak English that is true, but is not really a problem in itself as there is a lovely girl who works mainly as a translator who is always on hand to help. She was never far away throughout the whole day. The doctor on the day I was there also spoke English to a reasonable level.
When I sent my pictures via email to the clinic away back at the beginning of the year they quoted me 2500-3000 grafts, I asked after the operation how many grafts I had and was told 3000, so they were very accurate in what they said right at the very beginning. Shortly after you arrive at the clinic you will go into see the doctor and discuss your new hairline and then the doctor will mark it out. I wasn't happy with the hairline the doctor drew at first as I felt it was too high so after a short discussion he agreed to lower it. I'm really glad i did, so make sure if your not happy with the hairline that is drawn at first that you speak up!
On the day of the operation i was told we would be picked up at half past 8, in the end up it was after 9 before the assistant from the clinic came so don't worry if your still sitting in the hotel at half past 9.
There will no doubt be 3 or 4 of you going for HT's on the same day, so its good to have company and not be going through it yourself. Unfortunately i was with 2 Spanish guys and a Mexican so they didn't speak a word of English!
I cant really think of any other advice to give, if you have any questions about any part of the procedure then let me know and il answer them. Definitely try the kebabs in Istanbul, they are absolutely tremendous! As you walk out the hotel turn left and there is a small restaurant on the left handside within about 50 yards, i went here for a kebab both nights.
Hope the weather is better for you when you go, it was absolutely torrential rain in Istanbul the whole time i was there so i didn't get to see much of the city. The plane also had to circle the airport at Istanbul for half an hour until it got permission to land due to there being a thunder and lightning storm in Istanbul at the time, that wasn't a nice half an hour on a plane so hope you don't experience the same!
Definitely recommend getting it done, i cant wait until my new hairs start coming through. With the price you pay you cant really argue with it, i priced it here in the UK and was going to cost me approx £10K. Whereas going to Istanbul i got it for less than £2K and will hopefully end up with a good result similar to the others that i have seen from the same clinic!
