Bellus Clinic Istanbul Review Summary

Booking Process

3 / 5

The Bellus Clinic Istanbul website is available in multiple languages, including English. This is really handy as it eliminates the need for any poor Google translations, and makes the browsing process much easier. There’s plenty of detail about the procedures offered at the clinic, as well as a brief overview of the head doctor, so you’re not left wondering what they do and who does it. This all helps massively towards the booking process, but there are some important details missing, too.

The lack of pricing available is frustrating but surprisingly common in the hair transplant world. The nature of the procedure can make it difficult to price, as the amount of grafts and time needed will depend on the individual circumstances. That said, most clinics offset this by offering a free consultation to discuss techniques and pricing, but this is not something available at Bellus, which is a disappointment.

Pre-Operational Consultations

1 / 5

Things don’t improve greatly after you’ve made your booking, with little to say in the way of pre-op service and care. There is a clear travel itinerary available which is a great thing to have when booking your flights and making your own plans, but there’s also plenty of other things missing.

There are no pre-op consultations, or nutritional advice and supplements included as part of your package. From the point of booking to do the day of your procedure, you’re left to prepare with little input from the clinic. Any medications required will also come at an extra cost to you, so be sure to factor this in.

Arrival & Accommodation

4 / 5

One of the most impressive elements of the package offered by Bellus Clinic is the service upon arrival in Turkey. It all begins you’re greeted by an English-speaking driver who will transport to your 5-star Best Western hotel.

You are promised a comfortable, modern and spacious hotel room with breakfast included for 3 nights, as well as luxury transportation to and from the airport. All of this goes a really long way in terms of helping with your recovery and keeping you comfortable throughout your stay in Istanbul.

The only thing missing, from making this being a 5 out of 5 score, is the lack of blood tests done on arrival. Should you require any blood tests, they will need to be carried out separately and so will result in additional costs outside of the standard package you have paid for.

Facility

2 / 5

Bellus Clinic in Istanbul promises comfortable beds and surroundings, good entertainment and lunch included, all of which will help to make your stay at the clinic much more enjoyable. So between your 5-star hotel and this comfort at the clinic, you know you are going to be well looked after.

The technology available at the clinic is of a high standard and they can carry out the most complex of hair transplants. The facility predominantly carries out hair transplantation services, but does have other aesthetic procedures available such as teeth whitening and laser eye correction surgery, all done by specialists.

Surgery & Doctor Involvement

3 / 5

Hair transplants at Bellus Clinic are carried out by Dr Kurshat Yalvach, a respected specialist in the field. Dr Yalvach has been a speaker and trainer at numerous medical aesthetics events and conferences. Having such a reputable doctor is an important aspect when booking at any hair transplant clinic, so Bellus definitely ticks this box. The medical team are English-speaking so you will feel reassured during the operation.

Aftercare

2 / 5

The great news with Bellus clinic is that there is a 90% hair growth guarantee, meaning that you will see significant improvements following your procedure, or you will get your money back. Only a clinic that is completely confident in its ability would offer such a guarantee. Patients are also given 3 months worth of aftercare vitamins, medications and shampoos to help with the recovery process, something that isn’t given everywhere. The reason for the lower score is that there are a few elements missing, including no financing options. For better affordability, we would like to see all clinics offer some kind of monthly payment option, without having to pay in one large lump sum.

conclusion

We Rate Bellus Clinic Istanbul

2.5/5.0

We’ve given the Bellus Clinic a modest score of 2.5 out of 5 as there’s a pretty even split of things they do well, and things they don’t do so well.

The booking process is simple and the Bellus Clinic website contains plenty of information for prospective patients looking for more information. The accommodation offered and the service from the second you arrive in the country is impeccable, with the VIP transfers and English-speaking coordinator just putting the cherry on top of the whole thing.

The lower-scoring areas such as the aftercare could really do with some improvement. It’s a shame to be so well looked after when you arrive in Turkey, and throughout your procedure, and then to be let down with the level of aftercare once you leave. The Bellus Clinic could improve this fairly easily, and this would increase their score greatly.

Team

Are Bellus Clinic Istanbul procedures done by Dr Kurshat Yalvach?

Dr Kurshat Yalvach has involvement during every hair transplant procedure carried out at Bellus Clinic. His many years of experience in the field gives him the superstar status, and he’s often used as ‘the face’ of the clinic in their promotional material. With such a reputation, it’s no surprise that all patients would prefer to be taken care off by Dr Yalvach. Despite overseeing the department and treatments, there’s no guarantee that he will be the one performing your procedure.

There are other doctors at the clinic carrying out hair transplants, all of which are also specialists in what they do. So despite the potential disappointment of not working with Dr Kurshat Yalvach, you have nothing to worry about when it comes to which doctor actually does your procedure. Generally speaking, the likelihood is that Dr Yalvach will oversee your case, while other team doctors will perform the actual hair transplant. You will still receive a great level of service and professionalism regardless.
