If you're planning a hair transplant with Dr. Bircan, think twice! Managers will sell you on the idea that Bircan performs the surgery, completely opening the canals using the FUE method, and that a senior assistant extracts the grafts. This is all a lie! I had the surgery, and I'll tell you how it really works. Let's start with the fact that there's no clinic. There's no sign that it's the Bircan Clinic. It's just a floor in a regular hospital where, in addition to Bircan, other doctors perform surgeries. The entire operation was rushed. The office resembled a locker …

I had the surgery, and I'll tell you how it really works. Let's start with the fact that there's no clinic. There's no sign that it's the Bircan Clinic. It's just a floor in a regular hospital where, in addition to Bircan, other doctors perform surgeries. The entire operation was rushed. The office resembled a locker room because during the surgery, staff would come in and take their belongings (jackets, etc.) from the closet, and this all happened with open wounds where sterility was required. There were no meal breaks. You lie down for about 6-7 hours; they might give you water or go to the bathroom. The graft extraction was performed by a young girl (she wasn't sure). Bircan makes two incisions, then another person takes his place and finishes the operation. This is how they deceive their clients!!! I'm disappointed with the quality of the work they did on me. My frontal hairline is too high and unnatural. The hair is very thin, and they didn't thicken parts of it, but simply shaved them off where it needed to be thickened. This was all discussed before and after the surgery. Even though I have a good donor area, I'll pay the amount they told me they could have achieved a fantastic result, but alas, they couldn't... I didn't expect such a well-known doctor to perform such surgeries and treat paying clients this way. And the managers are simply lying. Be careful! They're simply interested in taking your money, and the results, well, will be...

Do not go to this clinic. This is a wholesale operation and they do not take the time to make sure the procedure is done right, and do not be deceived by the reviews as they are all fake. Went there few years ago and they did a horrible job. They have very badly over harvested some parts of my donor area which unfortunately is not fixable, because the hair is not going to grow back. And unfortunately the density of the transplanted hair is very low as well

I had 2 transplants with doctor bircain. The first one with a very poor hairline result. After reporting much negligence from the staff and having seen the doctor enter the operating room for 30 seconds already at the end of the transplant, the results had confirmed my reports. After many insistences, even though with photos showing a hairline mainly on the right with very little density and several unnatural tufts with gaps, they agree to do me a second transplant. I request to thicken especially on the right side and also a bit the middle since the first time it …

After many insistences, even though with photos showing a hairline mainly on the right with very little density and several unnatural tufts with gaps, they agree to do me a second transplant. I request to thicken especially on the right side and also a bit the middle since the first time it had not been done for me. Once again I don't see the doctor during the transplant except for 10 seconds. I emphasize that it doesn't seem to me that enough grafts were inserted and looking at the scabs it seems that the middle was almost not touched. In the first months, seeing that there isn't enough hairline restoration. In the end I stop given their continuous denials. After almost 2 years I have very little density in the hairline with small gaps and on the right of the hairline and middle there is a visible thinning. After 2 years I can say that 50% 60% of the transplanted hair has fallen out. I contacted the doctor showing the photos and they did not deny the terrible result and I asked what they could do and they never answered me again.

I had two transplants because the first one didn't go well. Now, two years after the second, I've lost most of the transplanted hair. I contacted the clinic again, sending several photos, and they asked me what I wanted to do. I asked if I could have another transplant, but they never got back to me. The first time, there were several imperfections and inaccuracies, and I had to insist a lot to have the second one. The staff denied the poor result, but when I got there, they themselves were surprised by my right area (the most affected) which …
I had two transplants because the first one didn't go well. Now, two years after the second, I've lost most of the transplanted hair.

The first time, there were several imperfections and inaccuracies, and I had to insist a lot to have the second one. The staff denied the poor result, but when I got there, they themselves were surprised by my right area (the most affected) which had very little density. For the second transplant, I hoped Dr. Bircain would be present, but unfortunately, he entered the operating room 30 seconds after the end of the procedure, just like the first time. This time, too, I reported the lack of attention on the part of the Turkish staff performing the grafts. In the following months I reported that I did not see a "scab" and then bulbs that grew in sufficient number in the thinnest area as I had already said during the transplant. As I suspected the result was insufficient but in the following months they denied it and took time but now after 2 years they have not denied the negative result given the photos.
