Dr. Gökay Bilgin

I had the option to get my hair transplant done in Dallas, but after doing my research, I chose a highly rated clinic in Istanbul with consistent 5-star reviews. They perform these procedures daily, and that level of experience gave me a lot of confidence. My local doctor in Dallas performs about 3–5 procedures a month and has 4-star reviews, so I ultimately decided to go where this is done at a much higher volume which brings expertise…You can call it a Hair mill. We had a snow storm and my business closed . I took out my side by side and rode thro Dallas for adrenaline rush that evening I took to the sky’s and arriving in Istanbul on January 27, 2026, and had my surgery on January 28th. I selected the premium package. One of my biggest concerns was that I have a tendency to develop keloids. During my consultation, I made this very clear. Dr. Ali reassured me that he would make the appropriate incisions to minimize risk and that I should be fine. I’m happy to report that it has now been exactly 4 weeks — and I have developed NO keloids. Both my donor and recipient areas are healing as expected. Word of caution: the numbing injections in the scalp are extremely painful — no sugarcoating that. They hurt terribly. But in my opinion, they are absolutely worth it. If you’re on the fence, I would say go for it. The experience, professionalism, and follow-up care have been excellent. The clinic has been consistently checking on my healing progress, and everyone has been kind and attentive. A tip: make sure you purchase the recommended shampoo and the 1-year treatment you will thank me later. So glad I purchased the spray package. Will people stare at you HECK YA!! In Istanbul who cares they are used to it and everyone has something going on BUT in Dallas it’s a different case. Upon arrival at DFW all eyes were on me but I cared less my ride was on time and dipped. Thank you to the entire team at Smiles your professionalism and dedication truly went above and beyond. I’ll provide another update at 8 weeks.

I got my hair transplant with smile clinic 1 week ago on a Monday. My experience has been a great experience! Coming from the U.S. the process was easier than expected. All communication was clear and to the point through what’s app. East to follow steps from airport, hotels, scheduled appointments it was all communicated through what’s app. They even picked us up from our personal hotel. All the shuttles rides were on time and plenty of time to get back to hotels and the airport . On the day of the surgery the doctor and technicians explain everything clearly. The consultation on the day of the surgery went over realistic expectations and concerns are discussed from my point of view and the doctors. The clinic the staff and the doctors are all very nice, patient and professional. The clinic is very modern clean and well organized. The surgery is also very well organized with a nice lunch in between and I was taken care of when I had little moments of pain they would kindly add anesthetic. That was the most painful part was the initial anesthesia. One week into recovery everything has gone great only the donor area has been sore but getting much better now. They give you all the instructions and a very nice after care kit. I highly recommend Smile hair clinic they are very good at what they do.

I had my hair transplant at Smile Hair Clinic and I’m very satisfied with the whole experience. The medical team was professional, friendly, and explained every step clearly from consultation to aftercare. The clinic was modern, clean, and very well organized. They also arranged my hotel accommodation and airport pickup and drop-off, which made the entire trip stress-free and smooth. Communication was excellent throughout. Highly recommended for anyone considering a hair transplant in Turkey.

I had my hair transplant at Smile Hair Clinic and my overall experience has been very positive. From the first consultation until the follow-up after surgery, the team has been professional, organized, and very supportive. The clinic environment felt clean and well managed, and the staff explained every step clearly which made me feel comfortable and prepared. During the procedure, they were calm and attentive, and after I returned home they continued to answer my questions quickly whenever I needed guidance. I am still in the early recovery phase so the final result will take time, but everything so far looks normal according to the expected timeline. I appreciate their communication, honesty, and continued support throughout the process. Thank you to the whole Smile Hair Clinic team for a professional experience.

I’m extremely happy with my experience at Smile Clinic. The explanation at the beginning was very clear and reassuring, and from day one the customer service has been amazing. They guided me through every step and are still supporting me even three months later. The first contact team and follow-up team really rock—they’re kind, attentive, and always aware of how you’re doing. The doctor was very nice and even gave me a little gift (oxygen for the transplantation part), which I really appreciated. The clinic is beautiful, the hotel and VIP transfer were excellent, and the results are already showing. During the surgery, I wasn’t able to listen to music, and the nurses talked a lot and sometimes leaned on me, which made me uncomfortable. Even so, the overall experience has been great and I’m happy with my decision. I have recommended the clinic already to around 6 of my friends!
