Our Experience with Long Hair Center in Istanbul: Step-by-Step

In the chat, I asked a Mr. Mehmet, who claimed to be available, why, out of all the hair transplant clinics in Turkey, prospective patients should go to Long Hair Center Istanbul? didn’t get an answer. A couple of hours later I decided to try my luck again and asked for a price estimation, there was still no answer by the end of the day.

Regardless, I will walk you through the booking process, pre-operational processes, arrival and accommodation, facility, surgery and doctor involvement, and after care.

Booking Process

2 / 5

The website is in English, as well as several other languages including French and German, and in About Us, we learn that Long Hair Center Turkey is under the ownership of Dr. Ahmet Yildirim. What follows are vague assertions as to the quality of the procedures with no reference to specific details or a list of certifications earned for said procedures. 

Long Hair Istanbul does not offer or accept more than two surgeries per day, making exceptions only in rare cases, where that number rises to a maximum of three to four surgeries if the third or fourth patient requires less than 2,000 hair grafts in their bald area. In the last 13 years, the center has successfully carried out more than 2,200 surgeries for patients from more than 36 countries worldwide. 

For the consultation, prospective patients are asked to send pictures of their donor zone, where the grafts are taken from, and the implanted area, where the grafts are placed into. These pictures are analyzed by an expert. According to his analyses, a patient’s treatment report is prepared and includes the number of grafts and the number of sessions. After the consultation, a reservation is made for the operation. A health consultant is responsible for conveying all the necessary information to the patient before and after the operation. However, it does not say whether the hair loss consultation is free or not. 

There is not a clear price list, although there is a detailed section on hair transplants and how they’re done. All Long Hair Istanbul says about the team is that they’re highly experienced and have been providing hair transplantation and plastic surgery services in Turkey for many years.

Pre-Operational Consultations

3 / 5

The first process of the hair transplant surgery is the consultation. Upon arrival in Turkey,  a face-to-face consultation will be conducted. Patients have the opportunity to meet the doctor or expert. The doctor will conduct a comprehensive examination of both the donor zone, where the grafts are extracted, and the recipient area, where the grafts are meticulously placed. The person’s medical history is checked, and the necessary examinations are conducted. The hairline is determined according to the person’s age and gender, as well as the area to be transplanted or densified according to the person’s need.

This detailed and hands-on assessment allows the doctor or expert to offer a precise and personalized evaluation of each patient’s unique hair transplant needs. Long Hair Center Turkey values patients’ input and preferences, ensuring their opinions are actively taken into account throughout the process.

Arrival & Accommodation

3 / 5

Long Hair Center Turkey offers a range of comprehensive services in close proximity to both the city center and hospital, ensuring your comfort and safety throughout your stay. According to the website, prior to your arrival you will receive a confirmation document of your reservation. Their top priority is to provide you with a clean and hygienic environment where you can relax and recuperate before and after your medical procedure. 

One companion is allowed to stay with you in your hotel room and that guest will not be charged a breakfast fee. The accommodation options include a Turkish bath, non-smoking rooms, a spa center, an indoor pool, as well as smoking rooms, all centrally located. Please be aware that Turkish baths and spas are generally not recommended the days before or weeks following your hair transplant.

You will have a personal assistant that will accompany you. The transfer service is entirely free of charge, covered by Long Hair Center. It offers the opportunity to travel in VIP comfort and private vehicles. Your journey starts from the airport with the interpreter who speaks the same language as you, ensuring you don’t feel like a foreigner, writes Long Hair Istanbul. 

Their transfer service covers the following: airport-hotel transfer (on arrival), hotel-hospital transfer (surgery day), hospital-hotel transfer (surgery day), hotel-hospital transfer (washing day), and hotel-airport (on departure). The website doesn’t say how many days are included in the packages.

Facility

4 / 5

Long Hair Istanbul dont have their own clinic. However, they provide services exclusively within JCI-certified and fully equipped hospitals to avoid negative outcomes such as infection transmission, which occurs in unhygienic hospitals.

Surgery & Doctor Involvement

5/ 5

Hair transplantation is performed by a specialist team under sterile conditions and can take between six and 10 hours, depending on the area to be transplanted. The procedure is painless thanks to the use of local anesthesia. The most common techniques used by Long Hair Center, according to the website, include FUE, SAPPHIRE FUE, DHI ,  and hair transplantation with sedation. Hair transplants are overseen by Dr. Ahmet Yildirim.

According to the website the team performs two, or in rare cases three hair transplants a day.

Aftercare

3/ 5

Exit procedures and preparations are made toward the end of the operation. After the transplanted roots are checked for the last time, PRP plasma treatment is performed, and the final washing process is done until there is no bleeding or leakage. Before exiting, the person’s sugar and blood pressure vitals are checked, and if everything is normal, they are brought to a sitting position.

The donor area is bandaged and wrapped with a special antibiotic cream to prevent any external infection. This bandage stays on for one day and is removed by the doctor during the next day’s washing and checking. After the checkout process is completed, instructions for medications and hospitalization positions are explained, a guarantee certificate is given, and directions to the hotel are provided. 

There is careful and thorough follow-up after the operation. The clinic does not mention if shampoos or or other after care products are provided to bring home.

Expert Review and Rating

4.2/5.0

I had serious issues navigating the website on my desktop. Many links on the website didn’t work. I had to view it on my cellphone so that I could access the information on it. Furthermore, Long Hair Center Turkey is missing critical information on its website, information such as cost of procedures or packages, as well as how many days patients would stay in a hotel and whether it was five-star or not. A lot of information present on the websites of other hair transplant clinics in Turkey is missing in this one. 

Due to the lack of responsiveness from Long Hair Clinic customer services my rating is based on website information.  According to their About Us, Long Hair Center is a leading hair transplant clinic in Istanbul. The clinic doesn’t boast a long list of certifications, making me feel skeptical about its claim to be a leading hair transplant clinic in Istanbul. 

There is not a clear price list available and there is no information on the website that explicitly says the hair loss consultation is free.

Recensione per un trapianto di capelli

Recentemente ho effettuato un trapianto di capelli e sono assolutamente soddisfatto! L’intero processo è stato organizzato alla perfezione dall’inizio alla fine. Il servizio è stato eccellente – il team è stato estremamente professionale e si è preso cura di me in ogni momento. Mi ha colpito particolarmente l’atmosfera amichevole e accogliente, che ha eliminato ogni mia preoccupazione.

Il trasferimento dall’aeroporto all’hotel e alla clinica è stato impeccabile, quindi non ho dovuto pensare a nulla. L’hotel in cui sono stato ospitato era confortevole e dotato di tutti i servizi necessari per un perfetto recupero.

Il personale è stato molto cordiale e ha risposto con pazienza a tutte le mie domande. I risultati sono già visibili e sono più che soddisfatto. Per chiunque stia pensando a un trapianto di capelli, consiglio vivamente questa struttura. Un’esperienza davvero eccellente!

I had a hair transplant here. My name is Serkan. These people are nothing but scammers. Not only they ruined my hair but they removed some of my hair and left the room with it to sell to others. Don’t be fooled by these crooks fake reviews that they purchased with money. Plus the whole procedure is done in Avrasya hastanesi/hospital. Their Google reviews are mostly 1 star. Param sizlere haram olsun.

LHC Highly Recommended!

Rated 5.0 out of 5
December 15, 2024

I recently had an incredible experience at the Long Hair Center (LHC) in Istanbul and I can’t recommend them highly enough! From the moment I walked in, the staff was welcoming and professional, making me feel comfortable and at ease. The consultation process was thorough; they took the time to explain every step of the hair transplant procedure, addressing all my concerns and ensuring I felt informed. They even had multiple translators that greatly helped with communication.

The clinic itself is modern and well-equipped, which added to my confidence in their services. The team of specialists is not only highly skilled but also genuinely caring, which made a significant difference in my overall experience. During the procedure, they were attentive and made sure I was as comfortable as possible. Was painful procedure, but they anesthetized me the best they could.

It’s only been 8 days, but the results have been nothing short of amazing! The ongoing support and follow-up from the clinic have also been fantastic, making sure I’m on track with my recovery.

If you’re considering a hair transplant, I wholeheartedly recommend LHC. They transformed my confidence and made the entire process smooth and positive!

This clinic in Turkey is the best

This clinic in Turkey is the best! I had already seen several, unfortunately, but in the end, I found this one! The staff is highly specialized, and the surgeons are incredibly skilled. The specialists in Italy whom I consulted for a general check-up were left speechless by the quality of work performed by the surgeon and his assistants in Turkey truly excellent work!

The surgeon’s precision and attention to detail are remarkable, making a real difference in the results. The staff is friendly and courteous, making you feel right at home.

Of course they think everything from the arrival at the airport and the various transfers… excellent service!

I wholeheartedly invite anyone with hair issues to visit this clinic; you will find the perfect solution! Trust me, this place truly transforms lives!

Diese Klinik in der Türkei ist die beste! Ich hatte bereits mehrere gesehen, leider, aber schließlich habe ich diese gefunden! Das Personal ist hochspezialisiert, und die Chirurgen sind unglaublich kompetent. Die Spezialisten in Italien, die ich für eine allgemeine Untersuchung konsultiert habe, waren sprachlos über die Qualität der Arbeit, die vom Chirurgen und seinen Assistenten in der Türkei geleistet wurde – wirklich hervorragende Arbeit!

Die Präzision des Chirurgen und die Liebe zum Detail sind bemerkenswert und machen einen echten Unterschied bei den Ergebnissen. Das Personal ist freundlich und höflich und lässt einen sich wie zu Hause fühlen.

Ich lade jeden mit Haarproblemen von ganzem Herzen ein, diese Klinik zu besuchen; Sie werden die perfekte Lösung finden! Vertrauen Sie mir, dieser Ort verwandelt wirklich Leben!

As someone of East Asian heritage, I was never genetically predisposed to grow a full, lush beard—a look I’ve always admired and wanted for myself. After years of consideration, I finally decided to take the plunge at 45 and do something about it. I had heard that Turkey was the ultimate destination for this kind of procedure, so I committed to finding the best clinic. After weeks of research, combing through reviews and forums, I chose Long Health Center—and I can confidently say it was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.

From the moment I landed in Turkey, the service was nothing short of exceptional. Long Health Center made me feel like a VIP every step of the way. The driver who picked me up from the airport was kind and attentive, and the staff at the clinic welcomed me warmly, making me feel at ease right away.

Dr. Ahmet, my physician, truly stood out. He listened carefully to my concerns and worked with me to design the perfect beard shape to match my vision. What impressed me the most was that Dr. Ahmet personally performed the entire implant procedure—a level of dedication and professionalism that’s rare in many clinics.

The aftercare was just as impressive. My follow-up visit included a session with a red light therapy device to speed up healing, as well as special shampoo to support recovery. They even assigned me a case coordinator, who will be available for a full year to answer any questions or provide tips.

Thanks to Long Health Center, I’ve achieved a lifelong dream, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. Their attention to detail, expertise, and genuine care were far beyond my expectations. Everyone on their team made me feel supported and confident throughout the entire process.

I would rate my experience an easy 100 out of 100. Honestly, I can’t imagine receiving better care anywhere else—not even in North America! If you’re considering a beard transplant, look no further than Long Health Center.

Thank you again for helping me turn my dream into reality!

Hallo,

Ich komme aus Deutschland und hatte am 20.11.24 meine Haar+Barttransplantation im LHC Istanbul.

Ich kann nun sagen, ich war mit allem mehr als nur zufrieden. Die komplette reise ist reibungslos verlaufen und ich habe mich zu jedem Zeitpunkt sehr wohl gefühlt. Ich hatte in der Vergangenheit bereits schon Zwei Haartransplantationen bei anderen Kliniken hinter mir. Mit den Ergebnissen war ich nicht zufrieden und entschied mich deshalb für eine Dritte Transplantation.

Ich habe mich sehr lange informiert um die richtige Klinik hierfür zu finden und bin froh, das ich auf LHC gestoßen bin und mich letztendlich für diese Klinik entschieden habe. Dr. Yildirim ist auf jeden meiner wünsche eingegangen und sein Team hat es entsprechend umgesetzt so das ich diese Klinik glücklich verlassen konnte. Zum Endergebnis kann ich noch nichts sagen da die OP erst drei Tage zurückliegt, aber ich bin mir sicher, das es toll werden wird.

Great experience, still waiting on results

I read a lot of horror stories about “hair mills”, botched results and translators not being available/trustworthy. Thankfully I didn’t experience any of those things and I felt they went the extra mile to make sure my experience was comfortable and secure. Everything we discussed beforehand via Whatsapp from price, to accommodations, transportation, number of grafts, procedure type, etc. was all followed through with. There were no surprises or unexpected steps throughout the procedure, every detail was explained to me. The dr. who did the evaluation did not perform the 8+ hour procedure (extraction + implantation) but he did draw on the hairline and identify donor and implantation areas. I did my crown and my hairline. At the time of year I was in Istanbul although it was uncharacteristically hot, the hotel I was booked in had turned off the air conditioning for the remainder of the year. After communicating with LHC and the hotel directly we confirmed after one night that there was no way to fix it. So LHC re-booked me in a different hotel. I thought this was special because I had already paid for and performed my procedure. So I was fully prepared for LHC to tell me to deal with it, but I’m glad they didn’t and super impressed with their commitment to customer satisfaction.
