My name is Ali and i would like to share my story.Embarking on a hair transplant journey is a significant decision, and my experience at Smile Hair Clinic under the care of Dr. Firdavs Ahmedov was nothing short of exceptional. From the seamless transportation arrangements to the meticulous surgical procedure and comprehensive post-operative support, every aspect was handled with utmost professionalism and care.
Upon arrival in Istanbul, I was greeted by a courteous driver arranged by Smile Hair Clinic, ensuring a stress-free transfer to my accommodation. The clinic's package included a stay at a comfortable hotel, which was conveniently located and well-appointed, allowing me to relax and prepare for the procedure.
The initial consultation with Dr. Ahmedov was thorough and personalized. He took the time to understand my hair loss concerns, discuss my expectations, and explain the available treatment options. His extensive experience, was evident as he meticulously planned the surgery to ensure natural-looking results.
the medical team ensured I was comfortable and well-informed about each step of the process. Dr. Ahmedov utilized the Sapphire FUE technique, known for its precision and effectiveness. The procedure was virtually painless, and the team's professionalism alleviated any anxieties I had.
Following the surgery, I received detailed aftercare instructions and a kit containing necessary medications and hair care products. The clinic's commitment to patient care was evident through their proactive follow-ups, ensuring my recovery was on track and addressing any questions I had during the healing process.
My experience at Smile Hair Clinic with Dr. Firdavs Ahmedov was outstanding. The combination of skilled medical professionals, state-of-the-art facilities, and comprehensive patient support made the entire journey seamless and rewarding. I highly recommend Smile Hair Clinic to anyone considering a hair transplant procedure.
My experience was fantastic from day 1 with smile clinic and Dr Ahmedov. Him and his team treated me so well and the surgery went very well that even on day 3 my healing is going fast with little complications.
I would highly recommend Smile clinic after deliberating for many years, the only problem was not taking the surgery years ago!

Pozdrowienia dla dr. Firdavs Ahmedov i calego Teamu.
Hi. I'm two weeks after my hair transplant at Smile Hair Clinic. From the first contact to the present moment I'm satisfied with the cooperation and support.
At the moment everything looks good, hair is growing :) I will contact you in half a year with any update.
Greetings to Dr. Firdavs Ahmedov and the whole Team.
Pozdrawiam/ BR Wojtek
Seamless experience from start to finish. I got 4000 grafts.
If you expect a 5 star experience throughout the journey Smile clinic covers it all. They made me very comfortable with the whole process and Dr Firdavs Ahmedov is the best he made me relaxed and comfortable for the process should have done it sooner. If you are thinking about hair transplant, take the leap. I slept half of my process it was relaxing. After care is super important and they will continue to support
I am currently seven months post surgery and I can say that the result is amazing. Hopefully final result will be achieved in a few months and it seems to be very promising. Smile Hair Clinic is very professional from the beginning until now and also they answered all my queries post operation especially Feyza who help me alot with my concerns. Hats off to Dr Firdavs Ahmedov and his team.
I had my hair transplant at Smile Hair center in Istanbul , and it was a wonderful experience with all its details, starting coordination and explaining the details of all the procedures before, during and after the operation. I would like to thank Dr. Firdavs Ahmedov and his assistants , who loved their work, even though it was a daily routine that took about 7 hours with each case , but they still doing it with passion. I felt asleep at many times during the operation because I felt confident in their sincerity and their love of the art which they were delivering.
I thank all the staff, starting from the coordinator Rima and the entire recipient team, the work crew, and the post operation Burcu for the great work.
Great experience from the start to finish. Very polite staff, the communication is on a really high level before and after the operation.
I would definitely recommend you guys. If anyone reading this still hesitates about the hair transplant - don’t! This is the place to do it.
Special thanks to Dr. Firdavs Ahmedov, and to the lady from Crimea, who’s a manager there (unfortunately, don’t remember her name).
Был 15.08.2023. Обратился через данные сайта, на сайте была указана вся исчерпывающая информация, а также наличие отзывов. На этапе согласования менеджер полностью прокунсультировала по всем вопросам (оплата, трансферы, вопросы по операции и клинике) и вела в течении всех дней. В рамках пакета по прилёту встретили и отвезли в отель (в отеле включён завтрак), из отеля отвозили в клинику (по согласованному времени, менеджер всё уточнял), в последний день трансфер обратно в аэропорт. В клинике встретил переводчик, который разъяснял интересующие вопросы и вёл на протяжение всего периода в клинике. В день операции доктор Firdavs Ahmedov проконсультировал по всем этапам операции (уточнил возможный результат, количество графтов, по результатам осмотра), и в течении процесса давал ответы по интересующим вопросам. Операцию проводила его команда и сам доктор в зависимости от стадии операции. Всё проходило хорошо по шагам, как было оговорено. Был перерыв на обед (заказ еды с учётом пожеланий). В конце выдали необходимые препараты и файл с полным описанием послеооперационных шагов. В целом организовано так, что бы ничего не отвекало и не было ни в чём необхобходимости. Весь персонал с кем сотрудничал заслуживают хорошей оценки по своей работе. По результату рано говорить, т.к. он зависит от времени.
Outstanding patient care. Dr Firdav Ahmedov and his nursing staff were brilliant. Great follow ups and after care. Would thoroughly recommend them. Just book it 😁👍
Also, 12 months after treatment- my hair is thick and amazing. They are truly brilliant. So glad I went with Smile Hair Clinic!
Hi, I am Dragos (27), originally from Romania. The process went smoothly and without any hidden information from the beggining to the end. Since I contacted my case manager, I could ask anything I needed or wanted to know and of course they did not hesitate to answer back with haste and good clarifications. Lots of professionalism from everyone I met, including Hotel personnel, drivers (even though their English might not be very good) and especially the medical team leaded by Dr Firdavs Ahmedov (in my case). The Doctor and his team answered every question I had in details and in a surprisingly good English, pitch perfect in my case (maybe I was lucky). Every stage of the procedure went perfect and took less time than I expected and with almost no breaks. The clinic in general has very good installations and our "guide" inside the clinic was the sweetest girl, very humble; introduced and explained everything we wanted to know and once again, in a very good English. My stay at the hotel was lovely, I had everything I needed and the food was just what I expected and very tasty.
Overall it was the perfect experience, combined with the good post-op results and I would definately recommend it to anyone interested in having a hair transplant, no doubt one of the best clinics in Istanbul (if not the best)!
