- "Massive love from me and I think of you Abdul and dr e every single day when I look down at this flat tight stomach that has beautiful shape and even the definition of muscle and a dent down the middle
image image image image
I am 2/3 weeks post surgery and had 360 lipo ( and some at hips too) and a tummy tuck. Dr Ergin er was marvellous as was Abdul. Dr E wasn’t sure he could help the sagging back fat I had fearing it was skin but nope - he’s fixed that too! It has all been quite an experience but once you’re past all the stuff like waking up post surgery ( take bottles of water if you wake and can’t find anything to drink) and the drains! Which almost made me faint and IV - all essentially stuff if you’re going to see the result you want - well with dr Ergin and Abdul you could change your life. For me it’s been a massive deal I honestly am thrilled and feel so lucky. Results wise I perhaps don’t have the swellingbthat everyone earns you about as my stomach is I think pretty tiny - and my thighs lighter. It’s so hard to figure out how he has done what he’s done - but I’m feeling now like the me I was 15 years go. A flat tummy, lighter on my feet and ready to feel the effects of healthy eating and exercise that just didn’t make a dent in the weight and tummy skin before. Be ready with lots of paracetamol. I wasn’t. I didn’t realise all the pain killers I had were blood thinners. Ibuprofen etc. Yes of course the wonderful team will provide pain killers but you won’t ( or I didn’t) want to be without something once I ran out. One point The surgery should improve is a before surgery list a good 2 wks maybe before - for example no booze, no medications really ( google it) and lots you can do like taking arnica pills and pineapple pills plus iron and such - maybe it’s not essential but I researched myself and why not do it if it might help? I was also glad I had some sweets with me as a little sugar helped in the following days. The tv doesn’t have any English programmes so take a book but be prepared to just had to recover without doing much else. I was up without hours of surgery walking the hall - it is a clean sort of pain - not like bone or hardcore I didn’t think but the worst area perhaps was the rib/muscle area a dr Ergin did a wonderful job of getting this entire area back to what it was by stitching the muscles back together I think. My technique was walk until I was bored and drink lots of water. If you’re having a tummy tuck you’ll need to master the roll and curl off the bed technique but just breath and don’t give in to the pain. It will be worth it if you hate your tummy how I hated mine. Lipo wise although it’s bloomin sore like you’ve been punched maybe, it wasn’t as bad as the ribcage pain or coping with drains for a few days. That was not fun - but again all needed so grin and bare it. I booked the Hilton Bomonti and having those sheets and just the smell and surroundings to go back to after the clinic was lovely. However watch out - my trip after surgery back to the hotel was 45 mins to wait for him and an hours drive as traffic was solid. No ones fault but what is a 15 mins drive can quickly be a nightmare. I called it Turkey time. No taxi except 2 came on time and waiting with drains and hardly able to sit ( bending in middle not fun early on) so be ready for that. But a good hostel and with national geographic on was such a luxury. But back to Istanbul Aesthetics Centre- they are talented and relaxed - it may feel a bit too relaxed but go with it. Dr Ergin Er is not only a clever man but adorable! Humorous and simply brilliant - I forced a hug on him the day I left ( when he removed my bandages and drains). Abdul meanwhile my translator but more over coordinator and medical advisor was always close to hand and simply never off duty. A role I don’t envy him of but one he excels at. Be prepared for the doctor to give you slightly different news when you arrive and he sees you - ( my scar u like my Hope was to be a good 12 inches despite not a massive tummy) but you need to enter into this knowing dr E will do what’s needed to get the shape and weight you are capable of having. The Istanbul Aesthetics Centre lack the pr that estetik Istanbul have mastered but don’t pause - these guys are honest and grounded and talented ....and although it may feel scary for me it’s the start of what honestly will be a better life. It’s still sinking in how different I feel about myself and I’ve not yet even tried on more fitting clothes or stopped too much ( as I was back to work within about 8 days post op) - I’m 2 or 3 wks post only but I am an hour glass with a size 12 figure and one I intend to work on hard once I can workout. Do note I couldn’t walk far a week post op - no lifting all that obvious stuff but being up is crucial for pain and swelling management in my view and so be ready to take it easy ( nightmare as work wanted me traveling all over ) so be ready to be mildly active but nothing major - even driving will take a while before you can slip behind the wheel. So prep is everything! Have some support. So don’t pause if you want to make a change and not procrastinate - Dr Ergin Er for me is precious - and perhaps he will see me again soon for a little more thigh sculpting. Don’t forget you can only do so much at once. Dr E won’t let you do anything unhealthy so no fear there but be clear with Abdul and be kind to the team - they have your best interests at heart. They are there to make us better so trust and let them. Thank you to all the team there and to the terrific nurses who I laughed with getting me in and out of the tight faja- god we sweated and laughed! Massive love from me and I think of you Abdul and dr e every single day when I look down at this flat tight stomach that has beautiful shape and even the definition of muscle and a dent down the middle. How? No idea how!? X

"I now feel good everyday
image image
My experience with Istanbul aesthetic centre was amazing. I had to go to turkey alone so I was very anxious but Abdul coordinated everything so well I just needed to bring myself to Turkey and he sorted everything out for me. Even when I had problems with my airline he kindly rescheduled my appointment at the very last minute and for that I am grateful beyond words. When I got to turkey I had my transport waiting for me. At this point I was still worried, scenarios like me getting kidnapped or murdered kept on appearing in my mind but he drove me straight to my hotel and the driver was very courteous. Next day, Abdul picked me up from my hotel and kindly brought me to the hospital where I did the payments and blood tests. The anaesthesiologist then came to ask me all the questions needed before my surgery, he was also very kind and had many many years of experience. When he left Abdul said that he was actually the owner of the place and I felt more relieved after hearing that because I felt sure that he wouldn’t let anything bad happen to me. But even if Abdul did not say that he already gave me such a good impression on our first meeting. Then, the most awaited moment of my life came. I finally met my surgeon, Dr Gurhan. He was amazing. He was very polite and friendly. He asked me what I did not like about my nose. I had a bulbous nose and a flat wide tip. There was no definition to my nose but my bridge was alright I had no bumps and I liked the height. So I asked him what he thought I should change and he suggested that have an alar reduction a lateral cartilage removal on my tip to give it more definition and to raise my tip a little so it’s not as droopy. He also agreed that my bridge is fine so we decided not to touch it. When he finished speaking I knewI could trust him because he pointed out everything I thought was wrong about my nose which other people thought wasn’t really a problem. I even had a consultation before in my country and the lady said I had no problem and asked me to just leave it alone. To have someone see what you see is an amazing feeling. I also loved the fact that he just did what I wanted, he did not try to suggest me getting more things done such as maybe reducing my bridge. I said I wanted natural and I want it to suit my face and he gave me exactly that. I am so thankful to Dr Gurhan. He has miracle hands. I have had this insecurity for 9 yrs. I always dreamed of getting my nose done but I always held myself back because of the fear that I might make it worse than before. When Abdul sent me his profile I was very impressed as he has 35 yrs of experience and many achievements. The only problem was that there are very few reviews about him so I was a little skeptical. I decided to look at other doctors who have more reviews and even spoke to them but for some reason my gut feeling kept on telling me that I should go with Dr Gurhan. It is the best decision ever. After speaking to him, the nurses came after an hour and while waiting Abdul kept me company throughout which in turn made me feel relaxed as I did not have to think about my operation. So I got on the operating bed and the last thing I remembered was as being wheeled to the operating room. When I woke up I was already in the recovery room. I vaguely remember dr Gurhan telling me, you look beautiful. I could not respond because of drowsiness but in my head I was like YESSS!! I stayed at Istanbul aesthetic for a night. The nurses took care of me so well. I had a whole room to myself and they would come to check up on me. Honestly, when I was there I only felt terrible when I needed to vomit but after letting it out I felt better and I was able to eat. Next day, dr Gurhan came and checked up on me he said my incisions look good and I should come after 7 days to get them removed. Abdul came in with a bunch of medication and dr Gurhan instructed me on how to take it. I went back to my hotel. The first 3 days were terrible. It literally looks like I’ve been stung by hundreds of bees and I was constantly tired. After 3 days I felt better. The swelling doesn’t look so bad anymore and I was able to go out to see the city. After a week. Abdul collected me again. Dr Gurhan removed the sutures and the cast. When he removed the cast, I felt like so emotional. I was still bloated but it looked so much better than my old nose and It actually suits my face. It does not look fake. Even my friends and family who were so against my decision said I look amazing. I also know I look amazing. Every time I look at myself in the mirror I get shocked at how beautiful I look now compared to before. Thank you Dr Gurhan, Abdul, my anaesthesiologist and all the nurses in Istanbul aesthetic. Because of your amazing work I now feel good everyday. God bless all of you.

"I HIGHLY recommend Bookimed, Istanbul Aesthetics Clinic, Yasin and the team

First I was a bit skeptical of Bookimed as I’ve never used or heard of their services. I must say they were very professional, answered all the questions I’ve had, and there were many and everything they said would happen happen. Yasin was my medical coordinator and everything that I’d read about him in the reviews were ALL true. He’s friendly, accessible and answered all my questions promptly. My surgeon was Dr Gurhan Ozcan and I can’t say enough about what an AWESOME doctor he truly is. My daughter who accompanied me on the trip, and I had a lot of questions for him and being a professor, he answered each and every questions in my pre-operation as well as post operation visit. All the staff, from driver who picked me up, the anaesthesiologist to the person who brought my food, to the nurses, cleaning staff were simply amazing and I HIGHLY recommend Bookimed, Istanbul Aesthetics Clinic, Yasin and the team. I had a breast lift and tummy tuck (pics enclosed) and I did not have the intense pain that I’ve read about online. Don’t get me wrong, I had very painful moments but the nurses were there to give me pain relief whenever I needed it. Even after leaving the clinic, Yasin sent a car for me in order to get a “shot” for pain. Bravo to the entire team
About Bookimed service
ABSOLUTELY and would recommend Bookimed platform as well as Dr Gurhan Ozcan, Yasin and Istanbul Aesthetics Clinic. I’m thrilled with their service and professionalism. No surprises in price or they didn’t try to “sell” other services

I had a good experience, had my breast reduction with Dr. Ergin Er. He is very professional, I chose his clinic because of his experience and good reviews. I wanted to go too small because my whole life I hated my breasts but he explained to me the best option and I love my results. I’m emotional thinking of how my dream came true, only someone with big saggy boobs can understand this. I feel like a whole new person. This is life changing, All dresses and tops I couldn’t wear I can now wear. I won’t have to struggle looking for bras that fit. No more bruises from bra straps, back pain when I sit…endless. I enjoyed my experience, it was a solo trip that I needed and it’s incredible how someone’s life can change in just one day. My after care is not complicated, I’m just following the instructions, trying not lift anything heavy and I’m healing so well. The after pictures I took them on my seventh day after Dr Ergin removed the tapes I had from surgery. I spent 6 days in Veyron hotel and came back on the 7th day. I went alone and I was worried I would struggle with no help but the hotel has a restaurant & room service with very nice workers.

FAQ

What is a beard transplant?

A beard transplant is a procedure that restores hair growth in the area of the mustache, cheekbones and chin. In most cases, men resort to transplantation in order to:

  • look more masculine and attractive;
  • adjust the hairline;
  • to resume the growth of follicles in the damaged area (in the area of a scar or burn).

During the procedure, the doctor takes grafts (bundles of 1-4 follicles) from the donor site and implants the hair on the beard. The donor area can be the occipital part of the head. At the same time, only your own follicles can be transplanted, since strangers will not take root.

Interesting to know:

The beard is the second most popular area for hair transplantation by men (according to a report by the International Society for Hair Restoration Surgery ISHRS ). More than 28,000 such procedures are performed annually in the world.

Where can I see a photo with the result of the procedure?

We have compiled Before and After beard transplant photos of men so that you can evaluate the result of the transformation and see how much more attractive you can become.

What affects the cost of a beard transplant?

The cost of a beard transplant depends on the following factors:

  • Zone size. The larger it is, the more grafts need to be transplanted. This increases the cost of the procedure.
  • Selected country and clinic. The cost of a beard transplant service is determined by the general level of prices for medical services in the state. Prices in different clinics of the same country differ depending on the class of the medical institution - the higher it is, the more expensive beard extensions.
  • Additional medical services. The final cost of a beard transplant is affected by the cost of tickets, domestic transfers, accommodation, and translation services.

It is important to know! Most clinics in Turkey provide free transfer from / to the airport, translation services and accommodation. This allows you to reduce your overall travel costs. They also offer a transplant price for the maximum number of grafts. This means that the cost of the procedure will not be higher than originally declared, regardless of the size of the zone.

What does the price include?

Often the price of a beard transplant includes:

  • doctor's advice;
  • laboratory blood tests;
  • beard transplant;
  • medicines and consumables;
  • postoperative consultation.

How to choose a beard transplant clinic?

In order for you to be 100% satisfied with the result of a beard transplant, you need to take a responsible approach to choosing a medical center. It is important to focus on:

  • Physician qualification. Check out his resume. Leading foreign specialists have at least 5 years of practical experience in hair transplantation, they have more than 5,000 implantation procedures on their account.
  • Patient reviews. Check out the stories of men who underwent beard transplant surgery in a particular center to understand whether they are satisfied with the effect, quality of medical care and service.
  • Photo result. From the Before and After photos, you will be able to assess whether implantation is performed in the clinic with high quality, how thick and natural the beard turns out.

How is a beard transplant done?

For hair transplantation in the beard and mustache area, specialists use methods that do not leave scars - FUE and HFE / DHI.

FUE (Follicular unit extraction) - FUE (follicular extraction technique)

During the procedure , the doctor, using a special FUE machine, removes grafts from the donor area. After that, he makes micro incisions in the beard area, and places the hairs in them.

Advanced types of FUE are available in some clinics:

  • Sapphire FUE (Sapphire FUE) - during the procedure, the doctor performs punctures in the beard area using an ultra-thin scalpel with a sapphire tip. It allows you to make smaller incisions, so recovery is faster. The result of Sapphire FUE is more natural than after a traditional FUE, since the doctor can plant the area more densely and set the hairs in the right direction.
  • Organic FUE transplantation is a technique that combines FUE and stem cell injections, which contribute to the restoration of hair density in the donor area and engraftment of follicles in the transplanted area.

HFE (Hand follicular extraction) or DHI (Direct Hair Transplant) - direct hair transplant

During this procedure , the grafts are taken manually by the doctor. To do this, he uses punch - a thin tube with sharp edges. The doctor performs implantation of follicles using a special tool - Choi (Implanter Pen). According to the principle of operation, it is similar to an automatic ballpoint pen: the doctor places a follicle in Choi and injects it under the skin by pressing a button. Thus, the doctor does not need to pre-make incisions. With the help of Choi, he simultaneously makes a puncture and leaves a graft in it, setting the hairs in a natural direction of growth. When placing a graft with a pen, its bulbs are not damaged, so more hairs take root than with FUE.

How does a beard implant work and how long does it take?

2-3 days is the average length of stay in the country for beard implantation. The procedure consists of the following steps:

  1. Training

Preparation includes a doctor's consultation and blood tests. This stage the patient passes on the eve of transplantation or on the day of the procedure.

  1. beard hair transplant surgery

Facial hair transplant surgery takes 2-5 hours (depending on the size of the area and the method of transplantation). The transplant does not require hospitalization, so after it the man goes to the hotel.

  1. Postoperative consultation

The next day, you need to come to the clinic for a consultation with the doctor, where he examines the area of the procedure and gives recommendations for care. After that, the patient can return home.

Interesting to know:

To increase the effectiveness of beard implantation, at the request of the man, in some centers, injections of or platelet -rich ( therapy ) are performed before / after the procedure. Plasma promotes engraftment of follicles, - hair restoration at the donor site and engraftment of transplanted ones.

Life after a beard transplant: what recommendations should be followed and when will the result of the procedure be visible?

Result

Edema and crusts last, on average, 5-10 days - it depends on the characteristics of skin regeneration. The final result of the procedure is visible after 6-12 months, when hair growth normalizes.

It is important to know! 3 weeks after the procedure, part of the implanted follicles may fall out - this is a normal process, which is due to the peculiarities of hair growth. New hairs appear in their place within 3-6 months.


Recommendations

Washing is allowed on day 3, while it is important to do it carefully and quickly. Immediately after the procedure, it is necessary to blot the face with a clean towel so that the skin does not get wet. Doctors recommend shaving not earlier than on the 10th day.

For about 2 weeks, sports and prolonged exposure to the sun should be avoided.

Patient Testimonials After Beard Transplant

Shamil from Russia underwent a beard transplant procedure at the Hair Clinic

Good day to all! I recently visited this clinic on 01/08/2022. While waiting for the result, only a week has passed. In general, I was met at the airport and taken to the hotel. The hotel was clean, the room was good with all amenities, with meals. The anesthesia was really a little painful, but it lasts a little 2-4 minutes, and then you don’t feel it, though the process is long, you have to lie down. In the process there were smoke breaks, and even fed. As a result, 3600 grafts were transplanted to me. There were enough people like me, one was from Kazakhstan, the second from Uzbekistan, there were even from Yugoslavia. Let's see what the result will be in a month. And a few days later they brought me back to the airport. I don’t regret that I flew, now I’m looking forward to the result .. I want to thank Olga separately, she cared a lot, she came to the hotel, she cared, she called 10 times every day, asked what she needed, how I felt. In general, I can safely recommend this clinic to everyone! The service is super.

Liam from the UK underwent a beard transplant procedure at the Smile Hair Clinic (Smile Hair)

My experience would not have been so amazing if not for Bakr on the Bookimed team. I have been contemplating for a while whether to promote hair transplant and they have always been on hand to answer any questions quickly. My decision was redundant, since I had a day off on vacation. Despite the fact that the clinic in Istanbul was busy, Bakr managed to find me in a couple of weeks. He arranged everything for me and even helped me find the best flight times, which were the only expenses I had to pay in advance. From the airport transfer to the hotel and clinic, everything was organized and flawless. I cannot thank Bakr enough, I am very pleased with the results of the transplant and very excited about the upcoming results. If you are thinking about a hair transplant, be sure to consult Bookimed so that you have the same good experience as I did!

I want to thank Olga separately, she cared a lot, she came to the hotel, she cared, she called 10 times every day, asked what she needed, how I felt. In general, I can safely recommend this clinic to everyone! The service is super.

Liam from the UK underwent a beard transplant procedure at the Smile Hair Clinic (Smile Hair)

My experience would not have been so amazing if not for Bakr on the Bookimed team. I have been contemplating for a while whether to promote hair transplant and they have always been on hand to answer any questions quickly. My decision was redundant, since I had a day off on vacation. Despite the fact that the clinic in Istanbul was busy, Bakr managed to find me in a couple of weeks. He arranged everything for me and even helped me find the best flight times, which were the only expenses I had to pay in advance. From the airport transfer to the hotel and clinic, everything was organized and flawless. I cannot thank Bakr enough, I am very pleased with the results of the transplant and very excited about the upcoming results. If you are thinking about a hair transplant, be sure to consult Bookimed so that you have the same good experience as I did!
