Important context
A low headline price or large graft promise does not explain whether a plan is suitable, who carries clinical responsibility, or how future hair loss will be managed.
What to compare between clinics
The same treatment name can describe very different levels of assessment, doctor involvement, team continuity, facility standards, surgical planning, and follow-up. Ask for clear answers before comparing numbers.
A clinic should be able to explain candidacy, the proposed donor strategy, the roles of each person involved, realistic limitations, possible alternatives, and what happens if the final in-person assessment changes the plan.
- Who evaluates the case and approves the plan
- Who performs and supervises each surgical stage
- How donor capacity and future hair loss are considered
- What the quote includes and excludes
- How complications, questions, and long-term follow-up are handled
Planning travel to Istanbul
Travel should be arranged only after the clinic confirms what information is required and whether the case appears suitable for further assessment. The number of days, pre-operative instructions, and follow-up schedule depend on the individual plan.
Keep enough flexibility for an in-person examination. A responsible clinic may modify, postpone, or decline a procedure when the physical assessment does not support the remote plan.
The AEK position
AEK Hair Clinic is a boutique clinic for international patients in Ataşehir, Istanbul. Its positioning is based on qualified medical leadership, long-term donor planning, established surgical methods, and clear communication rather than volume or unsupported superlatives.
An initial conversation is not a guarantee of treatment or outcome. It is a way to identify the next information needed for a responsible assessment.
