Patient Stories & Testimonials
Paigey Cakey | Rapper
Paige started experiencing hair loss while still in college. It’s worth noting that her hair loss wasn’t due to genetics but was actually caused by the tight hairstyles she frequently wore, such as weaves and cornrows. The problem got worse and worse over time, and so she started to look into hair transplants. At first, she considered getting surgery in the UK, however, seeing the prices, she decided against it and chose to come to Turkey instead, where it was more affordable.
“I’m very happy with the outcome and I’m very happy with how my hair’s growing…I feel very confident now because I don’t have the same initial bald patch that I had before that was really getting me down…I feel like a new woman.”
Nick Grigg | Proffesional Rugby Player
Professional rugby player Nick Grigg, who has most notably played for the Glasgow Warriors and Scotland Sevens, had two hair transplant sessions with Longevita in Istanbul, where he received a total of 6,500 grafts. The only tricky part of the surgery for him was the local anaesthetic, as it was a bit painful. However, it only lasted for a few minutes and in his words, “it wasn’t anything too drastic” either, and he didn’t feel anything for the rest of the procedure.
“During my first procedure with Longevita, I was really happy with the care I got and the communication, and it was a really easy decision for me to come back.”
James West
After starting to experience hair loss in his late 30s, James decided to shave all his hair off, and he continued down the same path for 20 years. However, he still missed having hair, and baldness also affected his self-esteem, which is why he chose to get his hair back permanently through a transplant surgery with Longevita.
James never had any qualms about choosing Turkey for his hair transplant, as he’d already been to the country before and liked the competitive pricing of the procedure compared to the UK and the rest of Europe.
“This has been a good experience for me. I haven’t had any problems. The hotel has been good, transfers have been good. When I came for the various appointments, I’ve been well looked after, so, yeah, I’m happy.”
“They’ve been absolutely fab!”
“Quick picked up, consultation, hairline are done!”
“It’s the best thing I’ve done.”
Alan Dawber
A barber by trade, Alan came to Longevita in 2020 with the goal of having his hairline fixed so he could “suit the job.” Ever since his teenage years, he had grappled with a high hairline, and as someone who worked in front of a mirror daily, it became a constant source of frustration.
Before deciding on a hair transplant, Alan thought about getting his scalp tattooed but eventually decided against it. He was also using a hair spray to make his hair look thicker, but not wanting to start over every day, he finally came to Turkey to have hair restoration done.
“I looked at a couple (of hair transplant clinics) in London, but they were very expensive and I just thought we’ll look abroad, and Turkey just seems to be the best place.”
Joseph Hayes
After experiencing significant hair loss in the frontal areas of his scalp, Joe came to Longevita in 2022 to permanently resolve the issue with FUE surgery.
Joseph describes his experience as being great from start to finish. From the transfers to the service from our patient coordinator and, of course, the doctors and the team, everything went superbly.
“They drew the (hair)line and showed me where it would go and then the procedure was pretty seamless – it was straightforward. The recovery afterwards was fine…I’m really happy with the whole result.”
Sharmarke Liban Warsame
Sharmarke, who came from the US, underwent a hair transplant with Longevita in 2021. After being very satisfied with the outcomes of the previous procedures he had with us, including gynecomastia, liposuction, dental crowns and teeth whitening, he decided to come to Istanbul once more to get his hair back.
He was delighted with both the staff and service he received at Longevita, and went on to recommend our company to many of his friends.
“My experience is awesome. That’s the reason I keep coming back. The staff is friendly. They explain everything to you. The prices are awesome. Completely, completely satisfied. I love it!”
