DHI - Direct Hair Implantation Antalya Province

Liposuction & arm lift. Hospital and staff excellent. Pleased with results. I expected a 4 star hotel as that is what was agreed and pictures of said hotel sent to me, However I was not given that hotel I got a basic 2 star hotel- it was clean and staff friendly but not somewhere I wanted to spend a week in. I was moved to a 3 star hotel after complaining with that said I would still recommend as the coordinators I met were all very helpful and friendly.

Had my gastric sleeve surgery done by Medhera's doctor on 19/10/23, he came to see me before and after surgery. Very professional and polite doctor I have ever seen. He personally did the dressing of my incisions next day of my surgery, explained whatever he could and made efforts to speak in English. He was like an friend to me never saw a doctor so down to earth. Special thanks thanks to Tolunay the coordinator/translator and Mrs Elif who I spoke on WhatsApp for all their support of answering all my questions.

So, after extensive research, I chose this clinic to carry out my second hair transplant/ restoration. I chose Antalya as I was there for a vacation, and it was most convenient. My case manager, Asli has been absolutely fantastic. From my initial enquiry to my post care. Asli had been in regular contact with me from day 1. There were no pressure selling tactics and she answered all my queries I had. Her communication skills are excellent, and she will give her honest views. Asli is a great asset to HCT RHC. I contacted several clinics in Antalya. The main reason I chose this one was that it was a Doctor led clinic. They only take one patient a day which results in you having 100% attention. I previously went to a ‘hair mill’ but had a good result however, if a clinic is accepting up to 10 patients a day it is bit of a lottery whether you have a good team working on you on the day. All the top clinics only accept one patient a day which minimises the risk and puts their customers first as opposed to £££. The clinic itself is clean and modern. I started off with my hairline consultation. I made a few amendments to my hairline which the Dr accommodated- there was no ego or arrogance and they were happy to listen to my needs and requests. One thing is to manage your own expectations- you aren’t paying £5 a graft or £10,000 plus for a procedure so you will need to be realistic with your expectations and your end result. The team were extremely passionate and took care of me from start to finish. This was my second hair transplant, so I knew the whole procedure. But this time round, I felt the team took their time. I arrived at 09:00 and didn’t leave until 20:00 so I know the whole day was focussed on me as I was the only patient on the day. I didn’t feel rushed and great care was taken. The team spoke limited English however I was kept updated with every step of the procedure (via Asli). The Dr was extremely experienced too and was able to tell straight away the positives/ negatives about my previous hair transplant. They knew that I had two different technicians previously who worked on my extractions and this showed in my donor area. I really liked the team- they were considerate, polite and helpful. I asked the Dr to use my donor area hairs and also beard hairs which they accommodated. I’m only 2 weeks into my hair transplant. But what I can tell is there is density, the grafts have been implanted/ angled in the correct direction, mostly singles used in the hairline (but some doubles) and the service I have received is excellent. I didn’t have any swelling, the surgery was ‘clean’ and I was impressed in the technique used. There are so many factors to determine whether your hair transplant is a success or not. I spent months and months carrying out my own research, including watching hundreds of YouTube Vlogs which is a great source of information. I wanted to give myself every chance of making sure my HT is a success and to educate myself, so I am well prepared. I would contact as many clinics as possible and ask many questions. I was apprehensive with the limited number of reviews however, Asli would provide me with reassurance and the information of previous work. I am glad I chose this clinic. Have I experienced an excellent service from this clinic? Absolutely! Will I recommend the clinic? Yes, of course! A few tips which helped me in both hair transplants: • Buy the SNUGL travel pillow from Amazon (this is a fantastic travel pillow and will help you when sleeping) • Do not wear lace type trainers/ shoes. Slip on shoes/ plimsolls/ sliders/ work so you can simply slip on your footwear on each day, so you don't have to bend down • Take buttoned shirts for your trip post-surgery. (You don’t want to dislodge any grafts when taking clothes off) • Book a cabin bag for your return flights as the clinic provide you with shampoo over the permitted 100ml allowance which you can no take a hand luggage • Book a window seat for your return flights to ensure no one drops anything from the storage area and saves you from getting up and down (you don’t want to bang your head) • Buy a new sponge. When you wash your hair, apply the shampoo the clinic provides onto the sponge and lather it with some water. You can then squeeze the contents onto your recipient and donor area from a distance when you carry out your first wash. I preferred doing this method as opposed to lathering in your hands as the first one or two washes your grafts are still quite delicate • Use a jug when you wash your hair to avoid the pressure from the hose dislodging your grafts • Drink plenty of water (2-3 Litres plus a day) • Have a good balanced diet with lots of protein (avoid whey protein shakes) Good luck!

They came to my hotel 72km away to pick me up. The opreation went very smooth and they explained every process in English with a very nice American translator who was present the whole time. I was droped off after the operation. Well Done. They have done a very good job. 3500 graft in 1 day. Before I went to another clinic and they asked me to come twice for the same operation which this clinic did in one day.

I went for a hair transplant as I have traction alopecia and my sides were so thin/ practically gone. I was contacted by Dr Ertan who is a neurologist who was really nice and friendly. The surgery was performed by Dr Okan who is extremely talented and such a warm welcoming character and his amazing team. From start to finish the whole experience was fantastic. I was picked up from the airport by the driver in a Mercedes sprinter all to myself. I had the same driver for the transfers for the duration of my stay. The hotel was in a good location on the strip. It was nice and clean and the staff were very friendly and helpful. I'm currently 14 days post op and my donor hairs are growing back and the implanted hairs have also started to grow. It was a pleasant experience all round and I can say you'll be in safe hands with Antalya Hair Clinic.
