Heva Clinic Hair Transplant Turkey

I went to Heva for help with two issues. One was the temple recession that was aging me by a good ten years. My friends had even started making dad jokes about me and we were barely 30. The other was that my beard did not fully connect around my jaw and it looked uneven. Knowing my problems was the easy part. But finding a hair clinic that understood afro hair was more challenging than I had expected. After a long search and over ten consultations with different clinics, I decided to work with Heva because they specialized in afro-textured hair. They had the knowhow and had enough before-and-after examples to share with me. I knew going in that I had a high chance of success. I am now at the 6 month mark and my hairline looks much different than it did when I first went to them. My hair is growing in flat and thick and my hairline is coming back to what it was in my mid-twenties. The beard connectors are also very even. Since they got the curl profile right, the new hairs are blending in well with my old hair and telling the two apart is almost impossible. For context, the surgeon used 2200 grafts on my hairline and about 1000 to fill in my beard, and the time taken for the surgery was just over 8 hours. All in all, I am happy with the results.

I travelled to Heva Clinic for an Afro hair transplant and appreciated how straightforward everything was. I asked a lot of questions before travelling, especially about the procedure, pricing and how they work with curly hair, and the team answered everything clearly. I am only two weeks post-op, so it is obviously too early to judge the final result, but the clinic experience and aftercare have been very good so far.

As a woman, shaving my whole head was never an option for me, so I was happy when Heva Clinic explained that they could work around my existing hair. My biggest issue was thinning around the hairline and temples. The procedure went smoothly and I was back to my normal routine faster than expected. Almost a year later, the new hairs blend very naturally with my own hair. Even people who knew I had the transplant struggle to tell where the grafts were placed.

I travelled to Istanbul from the UK for my procedure and honestly expected the whole experience to feel stressful. It was actually very organised. Airport transfer, hotel, clinic visits and the operation were all arranged for me. I had around 3800 grafts implanted mainly in the front and mid-scalp. I’m currently at month 9 and the density has improved a lot. My barber was probably more excited about the result than I was.

I had already undergone one hair transplant elsewhere, but I still had some areas that needed more density. Heva was very careful when evaluating my donor area because they did not want to overharvest it. I loved that. I highly recommend them for people who are thinking about the long-term result rather than simply transplanting as many grafts as possible.

Very professional clinic and helpful staff. My recovery went well, and I’m pleased with the progress so far.

"I have a habit of reading reviews and focusing on the bad experiences so before my hair transplant I ended up going down a rabbit hole of everything that could go wrong. The thing that worried me most was overharvesting and clinics taking too many grafts from the donor area.

That was actually one of the reasons I chose Heva. I originally wanted 4500 grafts in one session, but they told me my donor area could safely support around 3500. At first, I thought they were being too conservative and considered going somewhere else. After speaking with people who had already had hair transplants, I realized that being cautious was probably a good sign. Then I went ahead with a DHI transplant and the procedure took around seven hours. The consultation was detailed, the team made sure I was comfortable, and the whole process felt professional. I listened to music during the procedure, we had a lunch break, and honestly, the Turkish food was one of the unexpected highlights of the trip.

Afterwards, the aftercare team guided me through washing, scalp care, and recovery, and I uploaded my photos regularly so they could check my progress. It has now been seven months. The first month came with some itching and redness, but after that, recovery was quite easy. My frontal area looks much fuller, the new hairs are growing in evenly, and the result looks natural. Looking back, I am glad I chose the clinic that was willing to be cautious instead of simply agreeing with the number I wanted."

Heva’s team was excellent. They did not dodge the questions I had about my hair transplant and they were very clear about their pricing even before I flew for my surgery. It has been 2 weeks and I am currently working with the aftercare team. All in all, I am very happy with their services so far.

I travelled to Istanbul alone for my procedure and was a little nervous about managing everything in another country. Fortunately, the transfers, hotel and clinic appointments were all arranged for me. The staff were friendly and checked on me regularly after the transplant. Having that support made the whole trip much easier than I expected.

I got the standard FUE hair transplant at Heva a few weeks ago and wanted to commend them for the good work. The operation lasted 6 hours. It was not entirely continuous because we took a short lunch break but they stuck to the timeline they had provided me. The team ensured that the anesthesia was adequate, that I was comfortable, and that I understood what was happening. They even provided me with a translator who could update me on the progress of the surgery but I chose to focus on watching games instead and let them do their work. They harvested 3,100 grafts from my occipital donor zone and transplanted these to my front temporal gaps. There was very little bleeding and this has made the healing process much easier. I am 100% happy with their service.

As a professional makeup artist, having a sparse hairline is not the image that draws in clients. To make matters worse, I have a very critical eye when it comes to things such as angles, facial symmetry, and natural aesthetics. It makes it hard for me to ignore things that other people would not even notice. So, when my hairline started receding, I noticed it very fast and decided to take matters into my own hands. I chose to go to Heva because they were very transparent about their hair transplant process and were willing to offer me a reasonable, all-inclusive package. Most importantly, during pre-op, we had a very long mapping session where the designer wowed me with how well they understood facial geometry. I still had a say in the process, but I could have easily trusted them with the whole procedure. My surgery lasted about 6 hours, and I was under sedation and local anesthesia, so I barely felt anything. Recovery was a bit easier for me, as I have had some cosmetic work done in the past, and I knew how to handle sensitive skin. But it was still nice to have the aftercare app because it had detailed guidelines on how to wash my face, how to handle the grafts, when and how to work out, whether I could be out in the sun, and many other things that I probably would not have considered. I was also able to reach the team on the app or WhatsApp for my check-ins, which were pretty much every day for the first two weeks and then weekly after that. My hairline is slowly growing back. It has only been 2 and a half months, and so I cannot expect much right now, but even with the small and fine hairs growing out now, I can see a change in my appearance and will soon get to a point where I no longer need to style my hair forward to hide my disappearing hairline.

I was pretty short on time when I came to Heva, and the team made everything really easy for me. The airport pickup, hotel and clinic transfers were all organized, and my hotel was close to the clinic, which saved me a lot of time. I even managed to get some work done from my room while recovering.

It’s only been two weeks since my hair transplant, but my donor area has already healed quite well. I’m still covering it with the rest of my hair for now, and the aftercare team has been checking my progress remotely. Overall, I really appreciated how flexible and well-organized everything was.

Amazing service, professional team and definitely 5-stars!

Since my own hair loss had gotten to the Norwood 3 and I had taken a peek into my future, I went straight to Heva Clinic and asked for their help. Their analysis showed that I had significant recession in my temples, which was why my hair looked like the letter M, and my crown was also thinning. Things did not look good but they assured me that with an FUE hair transplant for afro-textured hair, I would be back to looking like myself in no time. They explained that the use of the FUE would ensure that they did not damage my follicles which were curved, as is always the case with afro hair. During the surgery, they extracted 2,800 grafts and implanted this in my bare sections. 1,800 of these went to my hairline while the rest were spread across all the thinning sections to ensure that the hair distribution looked normal. They later told me that they had managed to keep the transection rate at less than 3%. Per my understanding, this was a huge fete because afro hair tends to transect quite easily, which is why most hair transplant surgeons avoid such transplants or have lower success rates. So, go team! I experienced a lot of swelling when healing. In fact, on day 3, the swelling went down to my eye area, but I was able to manage this by wearing my headband and resting at an angle. I had also been warned that I would experience heavy crusting and was to use a special foam wash for the first 10 days until the scabbing subsided, which I did. Plus, I had to use a saline spray to again account for folliculitis. I believe the combination of their careful handling of my follicles and all the aftercare instructions I received played a big part in the success of my hair transplant. I now have dense hair with almost no visible scarring in my donor area. If only more hair transplant surgeons were as dedicated to their patients, then afro hair transplants would be more of a thing, because they obviously work if done right.

I spent months comparing clinics because there are honestly so many options in Turkey. In the end, I chose Heva because communication felt straightforward and they answered even the annoying little questions I kept sending. The procedure itself took most of the day, so I was exhausted by the end, but everyone was kind and kept me comfortable. The next day they checked the transplanted area, showed me how to wash it, and explained what would happen over the next few months. I am now around eight months in and the difference is much bigger than I expected when I first saw the shedding stage.

I had always been nervous about getting a hair transplant because I hate needles. I actually delayed it for almost a year because of that. When I finally spoke to Bryan, I mentioned this straight away and they explained that sedation was available to make the anesthesia part easier. That made a big difference for me. Once the procedure started, I was much more relaxed than I thought I would be. Looking back, I probably worried about the procedure way more than I needed to. It’s been 4months since my hair transplant and I’m already starting to see the growth. Still a long way to go, but I’m really looking forward to seeing the 1 year result.

I traveled to Istanbul by myself for my hair transplant and was pretty nervous at first. Once I arrived, everything was much easier because the drivers, clinic team and hotel arrangements were all organized. My consultant and surgeon were realistic about the results I could expect and explained the shedding and growth stages. The aftercare app was especially helpful during the first few weeks because I could check what I should be doing each day. My donor area also recovered quickly and is barely noticeable now. Highly recommended!

I needed a hair transplant that could work fast because I could only take a few days off work. After vetting several hair transplant clinics, I decided to go with Heva because they could perform a long hair unshaven hair transplant. I confirmed this with them before traveling and they assured me that they could extract single hair follicles without creating a shaved patch that was visible to other people. The surgery took over 6 hours and the surgeon used 1,900 single and double-hair grafts from the back of my head. He only trimmed the target roots and left the rest of the hair untouched. I have a lot of hair but the team knew how to hold each section back to get to the hairs they wanted. After leaving the clinic, I was very impressed by their aftercare team. Not only did they show me how to use their aftercare app but they also gave me tips on how to manage my hair when I went back to work. I was concerned about getting on an airplane so fast after the surgery because I thought I might dislodge the grafts when sleeping. But they sent me videos on how to stabilize my neck while sleeping on the plane and even at home, and those resources helped me a lot. It has been around 12 weeks now and I just had my first official evaluation. It is still early days but the initial shedding phase is now over. As a result, I am now seeing fine new hair tips breaking through my skin and while this hair is still quite new, it is already having an effect in how I look. I feel like I look much younger than I did before and I know that this effect will continue as more hair takes root.

Die Heva Klinik ist einfach eine 10/10. Von der ersten Kontaktaufnahme bis zur Rückreise war alles perfekt organisiert. Der gesamte Ablauf war ideal auf mich abgestimmt und das Team arbeitet extrem professionell. Inzwischen sind 30 Tage seit der Operation vergangen und mein Spenderbereich sieht absolut unberührt aus, obwohl 4,000 Grafts entnommen wurden. Besonders hervorzuheben ist auch die Heva-Nachsorge-App, bei der das Post-Op-Team extrem schnell auf meine Fragen antwortet. Zu 100 % weiterzuempfehlen

I am of African descent and have really coarse 4C type hair. My hair coils so much that I can go months without cutting my hair, and you would not be able to tell because the growth would be hidden in the coils. I love it, but I knew that finding a surgeon who could handle such hair texture and pull off a good beard transplant was easier said than done. It took me about two years to finish my research. I looked at clinics in the US, the UK, and most of Europe, and I noticed that most of them focused on men with straight hair. It was not until I started looking elsewhere that I realized that there were clinics that specifically focused on afro hair transplants. Heva, for instance, had been doing afro hair transplants on both the head and the face for years, and after speaking to their surgical team, I could tell that they knew how to track individual follicle depths and how to ensure that the hair roots remained viable even during the transfer. It did not take me long to book a FUE hair transplant with them because they provided me with all the details I needed to know about the surgery. Going in, I was worried about ingrown hairs because I had dealt with folliculitis before and knew just how painful and uncomfortable it could be. But 9 months on, I can say that my skin has healed smoothly with no ingrown hairs. The only challenges I had along the way were redness, but this reduced after the first month, and I was able to go back to my usual routine. My new facial hair is growing relatively fast, all things considered, and it is filling up my cheeks and jawline. It looks very natural because its angle matches the angle of my existing beard hair, and you can hardly tell which hair is native and which is new. I believe that my gaps will fully close in the next month because there is just a tiny bit left. All in all, I could not have asked for a better team.
