My biggest shock was that the initial agreement was completely different from the reality. After I arrived, I was forced to accept new prices and couldn’t go to another clinic. I had Botox injections for my forehead and frown lines, and of course it’s still too early to judge the results. That said, the clinic itself was good and the doctor took the time to carefully mark the injection points, which I really appreciated. However, my experience with the staff was extremely poor. One must also take into account the additional costs of accommodation, flights and transport. For this reason, based on this experience, I would not recommend that any patient travel to Turkey for treatment.

The doctor was excellent and gentle, drawing the beard shape with me right before she personally performed the entire procedure of over 3,000 grafts
The doctor was excellent and gentle, drawing the beard shape with me right before she personally performed the entire procedure of over 3,000 grafts. Everything went well. Communication was timely and consistent, and I'm feeling better than expected in these early stages. The clinic has stayed in touch and provided a clear aftercare guide. Not much could be better, though I'd suggest bringing headphones for the long procedure and sunglasses for the light. My main advice for future patients is to ask about the recovery process in advance—it was something I hadn't really considered until after it started.
Everything was great. The doctor was excellent and gentle. I feel that communication was timely and consistent. Everything went well and I think the results will be great.
Not much. Maybe headphones and music during the procedure. It was pretty long. Sunglasses for the light.

The lift in my jowls is already a dramatic improvement
My biggest worry was how the final result would look, and whether it would be worth the recovery. Even though I’m still quite puffy around my jawline, the lift in my jowls is already a dramatic improvement. That part is a huge relief. The staff and clinic environment were excellent from start to finish. Turning my head feels slightly tight but okay. The surgeon did good work, though I rated them a 4/5 as I felt some communication could have been a bit more compassionate after surgery.The most challenging part has absolutely been sleeping elevated. That's no fun. I would still recommend this clinic.
The Bookined coordinator and the Quartz Clinic staff were fantastic: supportive, helpful, compassionate. All updates were communicated to me promptly. The hotel booked for me is really excellent, with smooth transfers and kind drivers. Spot on!
I didn't give the doctor 5 stars because she made me cry the day after surgery. She could adopt a different approach towards me after surgery, with more understanding and compassion, especially since I was there on my own and at the end of the day, she's received all the information required, it doesn't matter from whom. The stress has a significant impact on me. Aside from that, she was great.
