"I recently had surgery, and so far everything's going well 😊 Unfortunately, there was a small misunderstanding at the beginning. But it was cleared up pretty quickly. I was at Özel Uncali Hospital. Most of the staff there are really friendly, especially the nurses on the ward. My doctor was Dr. Bilge, and he's very experienced in his field. He treats his patients as equals and always takes the time to answer any questions you may have. Throughout the entire period, we were cared for by Mr. Ugur from AestheticAntalya. He was always in a good mood, friendly, and always available to us. I would like to take this opportunity to thank him, my doctor, and the nurses again."

"I want to express my deepest gratitude to the clinic for the professional FUE hair transplant. From the very first visit, I felt a caring and attentive attitude: they provided a thorough consultation, answered all my questions, and helped me determine a treatment plan. The procedure was comfortable, painless, and stress-free, and the team of doctors worked harmoniously and meticulously. I was especially pleased with the modern equipment and the high level of sterility. I am more than pleased with the result – my hairline looks natural, the hair has taken well, and a significant difference is already noticeable. A special thank you for the support and advice during the recovery period. I highly recommend this clinic to anyone considering an FUE hair transplant and wanting a high-quality, natural result that will give them confidence."

"My wife and I had a procedure at V Klinik three weeks ago. We are both happy with the attention and quality of care we received at V Kilink. I had a hair transplant and I would like to thank the team, Mr. Fatih, Mrs. Revnak, Mrs. Aleyna, Mrs.Sena, and Mrs.Ceyda for their professionalism and kindness. They patiently answered my questions and explained every step of the procedure. As you may know hair transplant procedure takes around 8-10 hours, this team has a good vibe going around in the procedure room, which makes it very easy and you will not notice how those 10 hours passed. Also, they do not mind helping with any questions afterward, it has been 3 weeks after the hair transplant, and what I can say so far is so good."

"On November 25, 2025, Op. Dr. performed surgery for my drooping upper and lower eyelids. After a very friendly welcome in a very clean environment, I had a very painless and comfortable surgery. He even restored my eyes to an almond-shaped shape, which made me incredibly happy. His expertise made me feel at ease, as I was very apprehensive, and his reassuring approach was very pleasant. I owe him a debt of gratitude."
