About the clinic
Afro hair transplant is available at Istanbul Aesthetic Plastic Surgery Center in Istanbul, Turkey. The treatment for Afro hair typically runs around 3,000 EUR. A key advantage is the surgeon's high expertise, with Dr. Oya Şişman performing over 3,500 procedures.
Dr. Oya Şişman is a specialist hair transplant surgeon. She has nine years of experience in the field. Dr. Şişman has completed more than 3,500 FUE hair transplant surgeries. This makes her highly skilled for the unique demands of Afro-textured hair.
The clinic uses advanced techniques like DHI and FUE. The DHI method allows for precise graft placement. This is important for achieving a natural look with curly hair. The procedure is part of a comprehensive package for patients.
What the Afro Hair Transplant Package Includes
- Afro hair transplant procedure using the DHI method.
- One session of PRP (platelet-rich plasma) during the operation.
- Three nights of accommodation at a 4-star hotel with breakfast.
- All transfers between the airport, hotel, and clinic.
- Required blood tests before surgery.

The package covers most needs for a three-day stay. The clinic has a strong reputation among international patients. It holds a 4.8 out of 5 rating from hundreds of reviews. This high score reflects consistent patient satisfaction with results and care.
Afro hair requires specific surgical skill due to its curl pattern. The follicular units are often curved. This makes extraction and implantation more delicate. An experienced surgeon like Dr. Şişman understands these nuances. She can help design a hairline that suits your facial features.
Recovery support is built into the package. Patients receive follow-up checkups and special haircare products. This helps ensure the newly transplanted grafts heal properly. For a personalized assessment and cost estimate, you can request a consultation.

Istanbul Aesthetic Plastic Surgery Center: more details about the clinic
Turkey, Istanbul
İstanbul Aesthetics Plastic Surgery Center is located 20 km away from the Istanbul Atatürk Airport (LTBA) in a European side of the capital.
Facial plastic surgery
✓ Rhinoplasty (nose job)
A patient resorts to the procedure to get the nose of the desired shape or solve problems with breathing if any.
Doctors provide the surgery under general anesthesia for 1.5-2 hours. The nose is healing within a week, and the swelling can go away within a month after the surgery.
✓ Rhytidoplasty (facelift)
The procedure is aimed to get rid of wrinkles and crepey skin. It takes 3-5 hours and leaves no noticeable traces due to bioabsorbable sutures.
✓ Lips enlargement
Plastic surgeons make lips plumper with silicone or patient’s fat cells. Doctors provide the surgery under local anesthesia. It takes 15-30 minutes.
Body plastic surgery
✓ Mammoplasty — Breast reshaping
İstanbul Aesthetics plastic surgeons provide breast reduction, enlargement, and correction. Breast enhancement with implants is the most popular procedure. Women choose the procedure to be more self-confident and improve psychological health.
A patient decides to have teardrop (anatomic) implants or round ones. A doctor inserts the implants through the nipple incision or under the breast, so post-operative scars are hidden and hardly visible.
✓ Vaser liposuction
Vaser liposuction is among advanced fat removal techniques approved by the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services and FDA.
The VASER® device transmits ultrasonic waves which melt excess fat deposits and gently affect the internal tissues. They don’t damage the blood vessels, so the risk of bruising is minimal, and the recovery is faster compared with older lipo methods.
Vaser lipo fits for the abdomen, thighs, arms, and legs. The procedure takes around 1-2 hours according to the area of use. Usually, doctors perform liposuction under local anesthesia and sedation.
✓ Brazilian butt lift
A patient undergoes the procedure to get buttocks tightened and O-shaped.
Doctors remove adipose tissue from the thighs and place it in the buttocks. If a patient has not enough tissue, a surgeon inserts implants via the incision under the buttocks. The sutures are resorbed leaving no traces.
Hair transplant
A patient can choose between Sapphire FUE and DHI hair transplants at Istanbul Aesthetics Plastic Surgery Center.
Sapphire FUE hair transplant
Sapphire FUE is a seamless method of hair transplant with a microsurgical instrument punch with a sapphire tip. This thin and solid tip makes getting graft (bundles of 1-4 hairs) and the transplanting easy. The operation takes 3-6 hours, depending on the area requiring the transplant.
DHI is a method similar to FUE. The only difference is in an instrument which is similar to a ballpoint pen. A hair transplant specialist “charges” hair grafts into the instrument and injects it into the scalp. The key benefit of this method is the shorter time of the hair channel making the risk of infection much less.
✓ PRP treatment for hair loss
The PRP procedure, or platelet-rich plasma therapy, aims to treat alopecia on its onset, activate hair growth and returns its healthy color and shine.
A doctor obtains platelet-rich plasma from the patient's blood. It’s a protein substance centrifuged to have no red blood cells.
It can be used as a separate treatment method or in combination with a hair transplant.

Verified review.
The single positive aspect of this entire process was the staff. They were wonderful. Unfortunately, my experience with the surgeon and the clinic itself was profoundly disappointing, and I'm very concerned with how my otoplasty recovery is going so far. The gap between the supportive staff and the actual medical treatment I received is hard to understand. The facility did not meet my expectations for a medical setting in any capacity. Based on this, I would absolutely not recommend this clinic to anyone considering a similar procedure.
Do not go with bookimed.com. I didn’t liked from the moment when I arrived to airport anyone wasn’t there to pick me up, you know when you arrive any place you have no internet and you can’t make any phone calls or text so night mares already start.

I was so impressed by the results
If you're considering this, here is my honest take on the experience so far. My surgeon did excellent work on my extended tummy tuck with lipo and muscle repair; he was present during recovery checks and clearly explained the scar placement. I’m feeling better than expected early on. The financial aspect was a major factor. If I had the same procedure done in the US, I would have spent close to $20k. I spent a fraction of that in Istanbul and I was so impressed by the results. All transfers were provided and there were no additional expenses.
However, be aware that some staff speak little English, and I frequently smelled cigarette smoke in the corridor. I also had to do my own online research for post-op directions. My coordinating physician did reach out while I was in the hospital and back at the hotel. My advice: only travel alone if you are very strong emotionally and physically, as it was a challenging experience. It felt like another c-section! Pack a good hospital bag with a phone charger and universal adaptor, toiletries, books, and a neck pillow.
Photo of me is my Before. I'm one week in recovery, so no After photo yet.
My surgeon did excellent work and the nursing staff kept close post-op care of me. I appreciated all of the provided transfers to and from the airport and between the clinic and my hotel. The whole experience from start to finish was a great value for the price. If I had the same procedure done in the US (tummy tuck, abdominal muscle repair, and lipo), I have spent close to $20k. I spent a fraction of that in Istanbul and I was so impressed by the results one week after surgery.
Please be aware that some of the medical staff do not speak much or any English, so they provide support rather silently. Turkish people are also fairly serious, so while efficient and thorough, I was not coddled or babied. Also, there's also smoking allowed in the nurses' lounge or illegal smoking in the stairwell because I frequently smelled smoke in the corridor outside my recovery room while completing my post-op walking. Lastly, I would recommend the clinical staff provide more post-op directions for safe and expedient recovery. Everything I've learned was from my own online research.

The surgery went perfectly
My biggest concern was the coordination from afar, but communication was excellent from start to finish, and all transport was efficient. The surgery went perfectly. The initial results are looking good. The only thing I would change is the hotel; the Veyron was not the 4-star experience advertised. The photos were misleading, and my partner and I were stuck in a small room with no balcony for my recovery, in an area with very few amenities for short walks.
Communication was excellent from start to finish both from the co-ordinators and everyone at the hospital and all transport was efficient. The surgery went perfectly and the results are looking good considering it’s only been a week post op. I would definitely recommend both Bookimed and Istanbul Aesthetics.
The only thing I would change would be the hotel. The Veyron Hotel was meant to be 4 star, but it definitely wasn’t and I’ve stayed in hotels frequently all around the world. The photos were very misleading in terms of the general appearance of the hotel and the facilities.
There was only one small terrace at the front of the hotel where people generally went to smoke (we don’t so it’s not pleasant) and our room had no balcony, so me and my partner were basically stuck in a small room for the week of my recovery and the area the hotel was in had very little in the way of shops/ cafes etc when I was able to do short walks. It would have been nice to stay in a resort where we could relax outside to enjoy the sun and eat in different restaurants without having to pay for a taxi.
