Пишу отзыв на второй день после операции, находясь в аэропорту Стамбула. Три года искал отговорки, почему не сейчас, но всё-таки решился сделать операцию. Решение о выборе клиники, как ни странно, принял на основании рекомендации chatgpt по поиску в русскоязычном и немецкоязычном сегменте (родился в России, живу в Германии). Из предложений по цене от трёх лучших клиник по мнению ИИ выбрал самое привлекательное от Smile Clinik.
Самый простой пакет, операцию проводит команда молодых, но по-ощущению, достаточно опытных хирургов. При этом первичная консультация и определение контуров пересадки от именитого хирурга клиники доктора Ахметова. Причем на русском языке. Быстро, четко, без лишних слов. Цак-цак, поехали. 5-6 часов надо, конечно, потерпеть, особенно обезболивание. Постоянно помощь переводчицы, ей отдельное спасибо.
Отель - для своей цены полностью устроил. Про трансферы также ничего плохого, всё организовано, водитель встретил в заранее оговоренном месте, прилет был в 23 часа, никаких вопросов.
Всё предварительное общение через WhatsApp, что удобно (опять же на русском), с другими клиниками общался на немецком, на русском они не могут. Для меня не проблема, но кому-то может быть сложновато даже на английском.
В немецких отзывах некоторые в недостаток пишут про "конвейер", типа мало каждому личного внимания, или что-то такое. Да, людей много, операций проводится много, по моему это только в плюс. Я пойду есть только в тот ресторан, где уже сидит много человек, это показатель качества.
Немного сумбурно, но как-то так.
В общем, рекомендую.
Посмотрим на результат через полгода,через год, добавлю ещё что-то
Update:
Было: то, что отсылал в клинику
стало: прошла неделя после операции
Я уже в восторге ☺️

I visited Smile Hair Clinic in December of 24. One of my friends got it done about a year earlier and had great results so I thought I’d go with the same clinic and doctor as he did.
I definitely recommend Smile Hair Clinic! The communication leading up to my procedure was fantastic. The transportation and lodging was first class. The clinic itself was clean and up to date. The doctor and staff were very knowledgeable and accommodating, and the post op communication has been wonderful.
Since the procedure (six months ago) I’ve seen great results and have had several of my friends and colleagues who have expressed interest in going to Smile Hair Clinic.

What an amazing experience. From the day I contacted the clinic for consultation to the time I departure Istanbul they have managed my stay and procedure very well. I’d like to thank safak for his patient with my too many questions. Then at the clinic there was Yusuf, Fadima and Dr Halima and Zainab who were great. They def know what they’re doing. I also appreciate meeting dr Ahmed who came to see my progress and advised me so well on what’s going on. This company is really the best in the industry I’d be comfortable booking with them without any doubt. Be comfortable, assured and know that you’re in safe warm hands! Thank you smile clinic you deserve nothing less than a 5 star! See you soon again

For years, I’ve been looking into hair transplant clinics, inspired by clients who shared their transformative experiences in Istanbul. They raved about Smile Hair Clinic, so I decided to give them a shot. I was surprised when they got back to me within 24 hours already, I felt immediate hope.
When I had my consultation, I felt at ease. The staff was not only professional but also genuinely caring, which boosted my confidence in their expertise. I decided to go ahead and book my appointment, and thankfully, the package included hotel accommodations to make the trip less stressful.
On the day of the procedure, the surgeon took his time evaluating my hair and gave me thoughtful advice about the process. It really hit me how crucial it was to trust the person performing the surgery their experience matters. Everything went as smoothly as they had explained, and I truly appreciated the kindness and professionalism of the staff throughout.
One standout was the technician he was an artist! He crafted my new hairline to look natural and full of dimension, a far cry from the cookie cutter results I’d seen from other clinics online. Seven months later, I’m absolutely thrilled with how my hair looks.
I’ve developed such trust in Smile Hair Clinic that I’m already preparing on going back for another procedure to add some density on the crown . Overall, this journey has been an incredible one, and I couldn’t be happier with my decision!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Outstanding Hair Transplant Experience at Smile Hair Clinic
I recently had my hair transplant at Smile Hair Clinic on February 25, 2025, and I couldn’t be happier with the results! From start to finish, the entire experience was smooth, professional, and exceeded my expectations.
Transportation & Clinic Experience
The transportation service was superb—always on time and making everything stress-free. The clinic itself was modern, clean, and very well-organized, creating a comfortable environment for my procedure.
Expertise of Dr. Mehmet Resat Arpaci
Dr. Mehmet Resat Arpaci did an amazing job designing my hairline to look natural while ensuring great density. He expertly managed the team, and his precision with the incisions and overall execution was outstanding. Even though I was nervous, he made me feel confident and reassured throughout the process. His attention to detail and skillful approach made a significant difference in my results.
Exceptional Aftercare Support
One of the best aspects of Smile Hair Clinic is their aftercare support. They are thorough, attentive, and truly care about patient satisfaction. I only wish this level of service was available in the United States!
Final Thoughts
For anyone considering a hair transplant in Turkey, I highly recommend Smile Hair Clinic and Dr. Mehmet Resat Arpaci. Their professionalism, expertise, and patient care are truly top-notch. This experience has exceeded my expectations, and I’m excited to see the final results in the coming months!

My experience with Smile Hair Clinic was extremely professional. Before the appointment they were very informative about all the procedure options. I was nervous on the day of the procedure and very anxious during the beginning of the procedure. Thankfully they did an amazing job transplanting 4250 grafts from my donor area to my new area and I’m excited to see what the results will be over the next 12 months. So far the post op process has been very smooth as the clinic has provided me with all the resources I need and a 24/7 helpline. My Patient Experience Case Manager, Ceren has been helpful throughout the process. I feel very good about what the future holds after going through with it!
