Before you fly: A 5-point safety check

  1. Confirm accreditation. AACI or JCI signals audited quality and patient safety, and Dr. Terziler Exclusive Clinic is the only AACI-accredited hair transplant clinic in Turkey.
  2. Confirm who operates. A doctor should extract and implant, not technicians alone.
  3. Get the graft number and the technique, FUE or DHI, in writing before you pay.
  4. Check the aftercare plan and how the clinic handles complications once you are home.
  5. Read reviews on independent platforms, not only the clinic’s own website.
    The ISHRS has tied rising repair cases to unqualified providers, so this five-minute check protects both your money and your scalp.
