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.

Outstanding Care and Professionalism at Long Hair Clinic

Rated 5.0 out of 5
September 24, 2024

I recently had a hair transplant at Long Hair Clinic in Istanbul, and as someone who lives in the United States and works as a data analyst, I was initially a bit anxious about traveling for such an important procedure. However, from start to finish, the entire experience exceeded my expectations. The professionalism of the staff was immediately apparent. Dr. Ahmet Yildirim and the medical team made sure I understood every aspect of the procedure, from the initial consultation to post-op care. Their thorough approach and state-of-the-art facilities put me at ease, knowing I was in excellent hands. It’s been 12 days since my procedure, and the healing process has been smooth, with encouraging signs of early progress. The team provided clear aftercare instructions, which made the recovery phase easier to manage. As someone working in a professional setting, my appearance is tied to my confidence. Even at this early stage, I’m already feeling more self-assured and excited to see how this will continue to boost my confidence. I highly recommend Long Hair Clinic to anyone considering a hair transplant. The expertise, care, and professionalism provided by Dr. Ahmet Yildirim and his team have made this a positive, life-changing experience.

Yaklaşık 1 yıldır saç ektirmek için…

September 14, 2024

Yaklaşık 1 yıldır saç ektirmek için düşünüp aynı zamanda araştırıyordum, Long Hair Centerde saç ekimi yaptırmış olan yeğenimin almış olduğu sonucu görünce, klinik işe iletişime geçtim. Sağolsun sorduğum her soruyu hiç usanmadan saat farketmesizin hemen cevaplayıp beni bildilendirdiler. Bunun sonucunda saç ektirmeye karar verdim ama zaman ile ilgili problemim vardı, buna rağmen istediğim tarihe bana randevu ayarladılar. Sürekli irtibat içindeydik, uçağın ayarlanması hotelin ayarlanması vs her konuda yardımcı oldular. Çok içim rahat bir şekilde gittim çünkü beni profesyonel bir ekibin karşılayacağından emindim. Havalimanında beni karşılayıp vip servisleriyle beni kliniğe götürüp işk kontrolleri yaptık, ardından operasyon için kliniğin bir odasına geçtik, orada çok güler yüzlü ekibi işe operasyona başlandı, ekibin güzel muhabbetleri işe zamanın nasıl geçtiğini anlamadım bile. Planlanan donör sayısından fazla donör alındı ve ihtiyacı kadar ekim yapıldı, benim memnuniyetim için ve kliniğin prestiji için tüm personel büyük bir gayret içerisinde. Neyse ekim bitti beni hotelime bıraktılar, ertesi gün saç yıkama için tekrar hotelimden alıp klinikte saç yıkaması ve kontroller yapıldı, ardından beni havalimanına götürüp uğurladılar, ilk 10 gün sürekli irtibat halinde bulunup fotoğraflarla takibini sağladılar, ekim sürecinden 2 ay geçmesine rağmen halen daha irtibatta kalıyorlar. Sonucun güzel olacağına hiç şüphem yok. Düşünen herkese öneririm.

Had a great experience for my second hair transplant. The entire process was much better across the board compared to my first transplant, and the doctor even fixed an issue I had on my right temple where the previous clinic got careless and transplanted the hair facing the wrong direction. Overall, very pleased and would definitely recommend them to everyone.

I was recommended Long hair by a friend , after a good bit of research with other clinics and constant dialogue through watts app, I decided to go with long hair anyways due to their speedy feedback and any questions or concerns I had, they quickly responded with answers and solutions. From the pick up , to the fantastic hotel, the translator, the surgeon ( asked me what would like then give his professional opinion) the surgeons help , to the after care was , I thought the process was going to be stressful, didn’t have time to stress , it was all over so quick . I had an unshaven dhi , I believe it was 3000 grafts at the front and 600on the crown( more than they originally quoted)….the most painful part was the initial anesthetic, after that it was painless . I even had problems with my own finances once I arrived to which they accommodated . Over all a fantastic experience and have since recommended Long hair to friends

I had an exceptional experience at Long Hair Center. The staff’s professionalism was apparent from the start, and their warm, welcoming approach made me feel comfortable right away. They explained every step of the procedure thoroughly and my consultant Mr. Mehmet was 24/7 available to answer my questions, which really put me at ease. The personal attention and care I received made the entire process smooth and stress-free. Both the operation and the following washing process went smoothly. If you’re looking for a hair transplant center that combines expertise with a genuinely welcoming atmosphere, I highly recommend Long Hair Center.

Hairtransplant at Long Hair Istanbul

Rated 5.0 out of 5
August 8, 2024

I had my hair transplant at Long Hair Center on July 29, 2024. It was a great experience. Here I will provide my feedback, which will be two-folds: one now regarding the procedure and 10th wash; and another one after 3-4 months. After searching on internet about good hair transplant centers in Turkey, I found out about long hair center – visited their website and communicated with their staff Mr. Alaa through Whatsapp – Alaa asked for my head photos; got them analyzed from Dr Ahmet Yildrim and gave me an estimate of the grafts and the charges. This was very quick process. I then gave them dates and finalized my travel the very same day.

I arrived in Istanbul on July 28, and was picked up by the Long hair center staff from airport and taken to Gorrion Hotel, which is right in front of the center. On July 29 I met Dr Yildrim and his wonderful staff. I then had the procedure at 11:00 am. It took roughly around 8 hours and I was free around 7:00 pm. My overall experience that day was wonderful – the staff, the nurses, and the English interpreter Mr. Emirhan all were very helpful and made this procedure stress free. I had my first wash the next day on July 30. On July 31, I went back to UAE. My three day stay at the Gorrion hotel was also wonderful – it provided free breakfast and good in-room service. The transport to and from the airport as well as from the hotel to the center were all good and on time. Today, i.e., August 8, 2024 I had my 10th wash, which required removing the scabs – I see small hairs already. I have been in regular contact with Mr Alaa and whenever I have questions I ask him.

I will recommend long hair center for hair transplant. The staff is good and the way they arrange and plan everything is excellent making it easy for the client. The procedure is generally painless however the anesthesia when injected is a bit of a nuisance. Secondly, while it was fine with me sleeping on a reclining couch for the next 10 days, others may find it inconvenient, but there’s nothing you can do as you have to avoid getting the implanted area touched by anything.

Overall it was a good experience and I will consider a followup session in future to cover the crown if needed. I will provide my next feedback after 3-4 months.

This transparency in pricing not only facilitates informed decision-making but also fosters a sense of trust and reliability in the services offered.
