Aestepool Clinic - Dr. Altan Hair transplant Clinic

I flew from Ireland to Istanbul last Monday. I had 3700 grafts done 3 days ago by Dr. Altan and team. Happy with healing so far, all seems to be going well. I was a little nervous before flying to Istanbul and before the procedure. All I can say to anyone that is having second thoughts is that all is excellent. The clinic is extremely professional, Dr. Altan is heavily involved and personally planned the shape of hairline, giving me two choices. He also preformed the actual canal opening so that the desired finish is achieved. He has a skilled team with him and they assisted with the other 2 phases of the operation. Bloods were taken at beginning, my BP was taken throughout to ensure stability, and I was given a hydration drip to ensure I remained ok at the graft implant phase. At no time was I allowed stand without taking it slowly and I was monitored at all times (privacy of course for toilet breaks but asked not to lock the door, just in case). The professionalism was second to none and I cannot fault the place. It’s a shared private hospital facility, with Dr. Altan and assistant having own offices, surgery rooms etc. All is top spec. My constant support throughout was Ms. Dominica. She was with me from the beginning, explaining everything with excellent English and ensuring I was ok throughout, right to the end. This extra level of support made a big difference to me. The driver was a real gent, ensuring I didn’t bang my head getting in/out of car etc. At one point, I complimented the whole set up and team. The team member responded that “when you have a great boss, the team in turn is great”. I could see the respect and appreciation they have for Dr. Altan. I am very hopeful for my recovery and good results, as every review I read about the clinic so far has been proven true for me. I do realise that following Dr. Altan’s instructions & taking the medication provided for recovery is very important in achieving this. One last word…don’t hide away in hotel room. There are guys everywhere in Istanbul clearly having had procedure done. No one bats an eyelid. It’s not Ireland 😉 and Aestepool does such a clean job. I went exploring the city with my partner the next day, after my first wash at the clinic. Thanks to all. ❤️

Main criteria in choosing a clinic was having a doctor present and invovled in the actual procedures and an unblemished track record. Having spent some time researching, I narrowed down to 3 clinics and Aestoepool was the fastest to respond within 2 hours on a weekend. I flew in on Friday evening and was checked into a decent hotel not more than 10 minutes from the clinic. The whole process on Saturday was very fluid with no pain once the local anaesthetia was administered and the afternoon sessions flew by. Following a quick wash on Sunday I was back on the plane home by 2pm. The doctor had a very serious no-nonsense demeanour throughout the procedure while at the same being able to be very re-assuring and maintained adequte contact to check in even when he was not present. The rest of the nurses also appeared to be highly experienced competent in the extracting and implanting procedures. Overall, it was an extremely efficient and felt almost routine experience. The oustanding feature would have to be the ease of communication - the agent assigned to me (Dominika) was very clear and comprehensive in the advice and the communcation channels with her as well as the rest of the clinic were completely open through my visit and in the post-care phase. Would definitely recommend.

I recently had a hair transplant performed at Aestepool. I did a lot of research and was very apprehensive about it in general. From the moment their team reached out I felt comfortable and supported. Dr. Ahmed Altan was very professional and very involved. He and his team explained exactly what I could expect and were very thorough with pre and post care guidance. He did fantastic work and although it’s only been a little over a week I’m very happy with how the healing is going. His team continues to follow up and answer all my questions. I would highly recommend them to anyone.

When I decided to have a second hair transplant, I invested many hours in research to find a doctor who not only achieved many very good results, but above all achieves few to no bad results. After comparing the results of more than 30 doctors and having consultations with a handful of clinics, I had the best feeling about Dr Achmed Altan at the Aestepool Clinic - and I am convinced that I have indeed made the best decision with him as a professional, ethical and above all competent doctor. The consultation with his assistant Elba went smoothly. She is available around the clock, very endeavoured and was able to explain the processes to me in an easily understandable way and answer all my questions without any problems. The clinic is very modern, clean and you feel that you are in good hands. Dr Altan and Elba prepare you well for the operation and always make sure that you feel comfortable. Without going into too much detail about the operation, everything went smoothly and without complications and I was able to leave the clinic after about 6 hours. The washing and briefing the next day prepare you very well for the healing phase to come. After the operation, I had significantly less swelling and redness than after my first operation 3 years ago. As of today, the operation was about 3 months ago and I can now see steady progress and am already looking forward to the final result (which I expect to turn out very very god) Overall, I can highly recommend Dr Altan and Aestepool for a hair transplant and would go there again for another operation anytime.

I am very satisfied with Dr Ahmed professionalism and the excellence of the Aestepool clinic. My hair transplant went very smoothly, no pain at all, amazing team and a beautiful clinic. Everything was super well organized and easy from my very first chat with Dr Ahmed Altan on Instagram to the procedure itself and even after, weeks later with the follow up. Nothing to worry about. No pain at all during and after the procedure! I’m super happy from A to Z and warmly recommend Dr Ahmed Altan, his amazing hard working team and the beautiful, modern Aestepool Clinic.
