Hi Dan,

We have carefully read your review and take all feedback very seriously. However, after a thorough investigation of our database, we have absolutely no record of a patient under your name, nor do we have any case matching the details you have described in 2024.

At HWT Clinic, we operate with the highest level of transparency. Exact graft counts, detailed treatment plans, and payment procedures are always clearly documented and explicitly shared with our patients before any procedure begins.

Since we cannot verify you as a patient of ours, we believe this review may have been mistakenly left on the wrong clinic's profile or is inauthentic. If you genuinely had a procedure with us, we request you to contact us directly at info@hwtclinic.com or +905419194247 with your official reservation details and full name so we can investigate this matter immediately.

Best regards,

HWT Clinic

I travelled from the UK with a neighbour to get a second hair transplant, the first was in 2018 at a different clinic. This clinic was very clean and stylish. The staff were really helpful, smiley and kind. They resolved any concerns quickly, reassured me and the procedure went well. They gave me enough hair care products to last a year which is amazing and also have step by step YouTube videos which you can watch for reference to make sure you’re caring for your hair in the best way possible. I would recommend them.

Had a great experience with HWT

Had a great experience with HWT. Everything ran so smoothly from someone who was nervous about travelling to turkey especially not been there before it was a pleasure as the transfer were there to pick me up on time. Hugo was always a message away any time if I was ever unsure about anything, he answered any questions I had. I was welcomed to a fantastic 5* hotel also where I was really well looked after. I was picked up and explained everything throughout with a personal translator during the day of procedure in case I had any more questions or worries. It ran so smoothly. The clinic was spotlessly clean. Staff so kind and friendly. Really recommend. 5* throughout the whole experience.

Very happy with The HWT Clinic

The HWT Clinic were professional and welcoming from start to finished. My first contact with Hugo was just after Christmas 2025. He was very helpful in advising me how the produce would go, and even the possibility I may need a second visit in a years time, as the area I needed the transplant was large, and for best results, a second visit maybe needed.
Once booked I was given 6-7 dates across January 2026. I couldn't fully commit to one, but penciled it in. I did need to change to a later date, and Hugo confirm this would be fine.
I arrived in Istanbul and was collected and taken to my hotel. It was a very nice hotel. The next day was the procedure. The team were very good at communicating to me what was going to be done, and once completed, very helpful with any pain medication I may need. I didn't really feel and pain later on or on the next day, who I went for my first wash, which was quick and easy. Then my car was waiting to take me back to the airport.
The whole trip was 3 days, and I am now 1 week after the procedure and I am so glad I had this done. I would fully recommend The HWT Clinic.

Overall

Overall, my experience was good. Transportation was excellent, the hotel was very good, and the clinic reception staff were kind and helpful.

However, I am not happy with the hair design result. Please look at my picture — especially the side hairline. This is the main reason I came to the clinic, because I trusted that the clinic knows how to design a natural and correct hairline.

They asked me if I liked it at the time, and I said yes because I trusted their professional judgment. But after seeing the final result clearly, I am disappointed with the design.

Everything else was good, but hair design is very important, and this part did not meet my expectations.

Hello Ziyad,

Thank you so much for your feedback — we’re really happy to hear that transportation, the hotel, and our reception team met your expectations.

And we also understand your disappointment about the hairline design, especially since this was the main reason you chose our clinic. It’s completely normal to feel this way.

We always move forward step-by-step with the patient’s approval. Of course, we share our professional opinion based on our experience to achieve the most natural and correct result — but because hairline design is also a personal preference, we try not to “push” too strongly against what the patient wants.

Also, just to reassure you: in the first days, the hairline can look different than expected due to swelling, angles, lighting, and the fact that the hair hasn’t grown in yet. From our past experience, once the hair starts growing and settles naturally with the facial structure, many of these early concerns usually disappear.

Your peace of mind is important to us. We’re already reviewing your photos in detail together with our doctor team, and we’re following the process step by step with you — and we’ll continue to monitor everything together moving forward.

For now, let’s keep the process going; as the results settle, you’ll see much more clearly how right this decision was.

Hugo was our contact and he was super helpful, took us from our hotel to clinic and procedure was painless. Helped us with first wash the next day and bandaging and told us details about aftercare too.

Amazing results 15 months post hair transplant

I am writing this review now 15 months after my hair transplant at HWT Clinic and I am absolutely over the moon with my hair transplant results I have a fully restored hairline and covered crown area. I get lots of compliments from people actually saying it is the best hair transplant they have ever seen. It was highly recommended to me from a friend who had a hair transplant at HWT 4 years ago and had a great experience and a fantastic end result. My own experience was also great from the first time I contacted them Hugo got back to me straight away with what I would need, answered all my questions and got me booked in for the operation. I flew out to Istanbul on the Monday HWT sorted all the transport from airport to hotel and hotel to clinic then back to airport in luxury modern minibuses. HWT sorted my 2 night stay in the lovely titanic hotel very clean, modern, good food, breakfast included, swimming pool, spa and gym. Operation day was superb arrived at very clean clinic with wonderful staff who looked after me all day throughout the procedure I got 4000 grafts. I received my 1 year worth of aftercare products after the operation with a leaflet on how and when to use everything and also got sent videos via WhatsApp on how to look after myself in hours after operation. On the day I flew home they picked me up from hotel took me for my first wash at the clinic then took me to airport to fly home. I would like to thank everybody at HWT clinic for a wonderful experience and I can’t recommend them enough.

So first things first in terms of ease…

So first things first in terms of ease of booking it couldn’t have been any simpler. I reached out to Hugo, we discussed the plan and everything was laid out clearly.

The procedure itself was painless I fell to sleep on the sedative so that helped!, the only negative to the whole thing was being able to sleep after the procedure due to having to sleep upright so I struggled with that, but pretty sure anyone you ask who’s had a transplant would say the same thing!

In terms of recovery I recovered really quickly and started seeing some instant growth within a couple of weeks, I’m now just over 12 months in after procedure and I’m delighted with my results, now have a fully restored frontal hairline!

Would fully recommend HWT and even have a friend who is considering coming over to get it done after seeing the results of my transplant!

4 months progress

I had my hair transplant 4 months ago, and the progress has been fantastic. I’m truly grateful to Hugo and the entire HWT team for their continuous support up to today. I have already recommended HWT to a few friends as well. Without a doubt, this is the best place in Istanbul for a hair transplant. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Great choice for hair transplant

1 year after first op (of 2) and I'm really happy with the results. HWT organised everything (except flights) and even have some really handy YouTube videos to help along the process

I am very satisfied with my hair transplant. The staff was professional, friendly, and took the time to explain everything clearly. The hairline looks natural and exactly as discussed. Great care before and after the procedure. Highly recommended.

Very happy with the whole experience

Very happy with the whole experience. From initial contact with Hugo, to the procedure, logistics, and aftercare package. Everything exceeded my expectations. Very reasonable price. Completely painless procedure as was sedated. They take care of everything from your arrival at the airport to returning. So you don’t need the extra worry of arranging any of that. Thank you Hugo and team. If I ever need a ‘top up’ I will be sure to return to HWT. I would recommend anyone who is interested in to watch the YouTube videos provided by HWT before you go.

Road from baldy to full head of hair.

I have just had my 2nd hair transplant with HWT clinic, 1st on in February and second one completed in November. My experience was very positive with the Hugo and the medical team. The price is very fair and the results speak for themselves. A special mention to Hugo as he answers any questions or queries I had throughout the year since my first one and has been nothing but helpful. Would highly recommend the clinic.

I had my hair transplant at HWT in…

I had my hair transplant at HWT in Istanbul about four weeks ago, and I couldn’t be happier with the whole experience. From start to finish, everything was handled with professionalism, warmth, and care.

From the very first consultation, Hugo guided me through the entire process and made sure everything was organized. On the day of my operation, I was warmly welcomed by the team. After the routine blood test and ECG, I had my consultation with Dr. Mehmet Can Saki—a highly skilled and experienced surgeon, also a member of the European and Turkish Board of Plastic, Reconstructive, and Aesthetic Surgeons. I honestly couldn’t have wished for a better surgeon.

Alongside him, Dr. Onur Karayel, the DHI specialist, performed the surgery flawlessly and completely pain-free. I also want to highlight Hafsa, who supported me throughout the day, ensuring everything went smoothly—she’s truly a credit to the clinic. Finally, Dr. Asuman Dinçer, the anesthesia specialist, made the entire procedure completely comfortable and painless.

The clinic also arranged all logistics, including airport transfers and hotel pick up which made the whole experience stress-free.

If anyone is considering a hair transplant, I cannot recommend HWT in Istanbul highly enough. You will be in the best hands and receive world-class treatment.
