❤️ Date of my transplant: 30th March 2023
❤️ Type of transplant: FUE Sapphire Hair Transplant
❤️ Satin pillowcase I sleep on post-transplant: amzn.to/46osp9x
❤️ Why I got the transplant: because of traction alopecia caused by a braider at the age of approx 8-10 (multiple visits to that hairstylist getting thick, heavy braids); by another braider in Nigeria (heavy, long braids) in my 20s, wearing tight wig caps in my 30s & micro-needling my edges in my 30s.

CORRECTION ⚠️⚠️ Heva DID ask me to complete a health history form when I first whatsapped them! So sorry for not remembering that, guys! It asked about chronic illness, allergies, and if I've had a transplant before (but not the cause of hair loss).
Shortly after uploading this video, Heva whatsapped me to ask me how my hair is doing (they said they saw this video). I appreciate them reaching out!

Thanks for the info.. I actually booked my appointment for march.
You're welcome! Best of luck with yours.
How was it
Thank you for sharing your experience. I had mine today and everything went well. I truly amazed your new edges and donor looks fantastic!
You're welcome! Ah, congratulations! I hope the pain wasn't too bad. Thank you!!!!!! 😊
I had a hair transplant at Heva three weeks ago.. I had 3300 hair grafts removed. However, I was slated for 3000. As such, they had me write up some thing agreeing to the additional 300 graphs. They are improving. Thank you for your transparency. Seeing your results, as well as The results of two other Black women, convinced me that Heva was the place to go.
Oh wow- that's great to hear!!! I wish they had did that with me, but nevermind. Yes, sounds like it!!!!! Feedback is so important. Thanks for sharing, Deborah - hope your recovery goes well x
How is your hair doing now ? I’m thinking of doing a hair transplant with them
Heva should give you a percentage as you are attracting a lot of customers there!
Booking with Heva. I’m excited and scared.
It's natural to feel like that- you'll be OK.
How was it?
Thank you for sharing your feelings. It's because of your Journey that I choose Heva despite your experience about the numbers of grafts you had. The staff was very professional as you mentionned however I filled a form before coming to Turkey and another one at the clinic before they took my blood and start drawing my new hair line. I am so grateful to you and your videos and so happy I went to that clinic thank you. I recommand it. They made me feel so comfortable all the way through. My aftercare is good and by the way they knew my name😅. I am 13 days now of my hair transplant. Keep sharing your hair Journey, your hair looks amazing😊
You're welcome! Oh, that's brilliant to hear!!!! (RE the forms)- that's more like it!! Yeah, Heva are the real deal in my opinion- despite my grafts I don't regret going there. That's brilliant- yeah, their professionalism is admirable. Brilliant- you had an even better experience than I did, then!!! 😁 Oh congrats- you did yours not to long ago!!! Will do- Lord knows I watched like hundreds of hours of videos before I did mine, lol.
I had the same experience. I completed some health history forms and was asked questions as well. I also went to Heva.
That's brilliant! It sounds like they just genuinely forgot to do it with me then!
So sorry- I've just checked my WhatsApp history and can see the form was rhe first thing they sent me!!! So sorry for this false alarm / false information!!
So sorry- I've just checked my WhatsApp history and can see the form was the first thing they sent me!!! So sorry for this false alarm / false information!!
I as well choose Heva because of your detailed videos.. Thank you. I did however fill out a form along with pictures of my head from all angles. They then informed me of the kind of hair loss that I had in each area of my head. Im schedule for my transplant in the new year and im excited. Thank again for your videos.
You're welcome! That's amazing to hear! Not sure why they didn't do that with me! I really hope it goes well!!!
Just scrolled all the way back to the beginning of my WhatsApp messages with them and can see they DID ask me to complete a health form out prior to giving me a quote. Sorry for the incorrect relocation in this video! The form didn't ask about the cause of my hair loss, but did ask about prior health conditions, allergies, prior transplants etc.
I've watched over 30 other videos from TH-camrs and because of you sharing this hair restoration journey with us you made my choice more comfortable with Heva. Thank you my sista and I will be reaching out to you for an affiliate link. ✊🏾
I'm really glad my journey has been helpful. I documented it just in case I got good results and God has surpassed my expectations with them. I'm pretty sure Heva will look after you. Look at their Google reviews also- that's what made me feel even more sure about my decision in the run up to my surgery date. I probably watched 101 videos prior to my surgery, lol.
@@TheWellnessAbbey I'm at 50 videos now so i got 50 more to go to match you lol
😆😇
The staff at Heva are the best , your videos helped me settle on them . I’m 6 days post op 😅 the only thing I want is to sleep on my back
So glad to hear it, Sarah!! Awww- I hope your recovery goes well!!!!
@@TheWellnessAbbey thank you 😊
I plan to go to them as well. I hope they don’t over harvest!
@@rafeeqwarfield9690 I suspect they do
Your edges look great ❤
Thank you!!!!!
I’ve just come back from Heva, I changed last minute because I wasn’t satisfied with Longevita. They told me before that they were taking 4000 grafts, i thought that sounded like a lot but they told me it was typical for women. I already don’t have thick hair, so I hope my donor area will grow back ok. I think I’ll do more pfp sessions down the line. As for the translators they had quite a few there on the day, it almost seemed like too many. Loads of people were standing around and it felt like too many cooks. They were very attentive though. I didn’t like that a lot of people kept coming in and out of the room during the procedure and some were on their phones as in having phone calls, which didn’t seem sanitary or professional. I also wish we got more privacy throughout. They seem to have taken on your feedback as they asked about the reason for my hair loss. I agree with what you’ve said, we can’t expect certain standards while in another country. I’m glad I made it out ok and haven’t had any complications so far. Just have to hope for the best now.
Oh wow. From other women's experiences on TH-cam who went to longevita 4000 isn't typical for us, but I guess those who upload videos are only a small pool of the women who actually get transplants. Yes, I hope it does too. Really? Sounds like they've increased the number of translators which is good. Attentiveness is good. Yes, it is a lot of people in and out, but I kinda gave me the impression that they really cared that things went well if you know what I mean. Oh wow- on their phones- that's new! That's great to hear. Yes, pray and hope for the best- you've done it now- well done for being brave!!!
What is the best way to contact them to have information then book ? How to do the paiement or pay the deposit is it safe ?
It's up to you but if you use the below contact form, you'll get 10% off your gold or diamond package if you do choose to book. I paid my deposit via PayPal from memory- that's what I felt comfortable doing, but they have other options. www.dentalhairclinicturkey.com/contact-form-r/
When did you start using hair oils or any form of hair cream
Hey. I can't remember off the top of my head, but when I did, I did mention it in my videos, so you may have to look back at them, sorry. Also, when I contacted aftercare about how tight my scalp was feeling they advised that I could have been using aloe vera gel or a light natural oil to alleviate that- if I had known earlier then I would have done.
I'm just curious: What package did you end up going with? I noticed they have a Silver and Gold package. Is there any difference between the two other than the price?
Hey. They only had one package at the time I did mine- it's equivalent to their gold package. The difference is largely around who does the transplant and the number of night's stay.
Thanks for replying back. I don't like that they didn't know your name and didn't let you know that they would take 4000 grafts. How's your donor area after they took 4000 grafts? The only reason I'm interested in Heva Clinic is because I *heard* they're the best for Afro-Hair transplant.
Yeah, I didn't like those things either! It looks fine thank God.
Booking for next month 😁
Hope it all goes well!
They have ruined so many people’s lives! Do not go to HEVA
@@Arelaxedguy too late already went, and my results were pretty damn good as well as the experience and service 🤟🏿
@@TheWellnessAbbey Thank you :)
@@Arelaxedguy Please elaborate- thank you
Hello, the result is great, how many PRP sessions did you do? Because heva clinique says that one session is enough.
Hey. Thank you! I just had one- they did it immediately after the transplant I.e. the same day. 👍🏽
@@TheWellnessAbbey ok thank for feelback
They have ruined so many people’s lives! Do not go to HEVA
@@Arelaxedguyplease elaborate why they messed up people lives?
@@nicolegoodwin7875go do the research instead of just believing an affiliate.
Maybe I’m slow but idk how they transplant the hair. So they pull your hair out then put it back in a different place? But wouldn’t you be bald in the original place
Yeah, they take it out the back and put it in the front. Yes, the scalp will be bald where they take the hairs out, so that's why it's really important that they don't take too many hairs otherwise it'll be really noticeable!
I know you said they did ask you them questions, but if you had all them reservations why did you go ahead with heva. Also which package did you pick and why? Do you think silver package is fine
I didn't have any reservations going ahead with heva. The things I mention happened on/after the surgery day- not before- and I've added a correction in the comments that they sent me the form prior to me booking my surgery date which was good. All in all, the negatives I mention didn't cloud my overall experience and the positives definitely outweighed the negatives, hence why I don't actually regret going there.
Oh about the package- I think they've updated the packages since I had my surgery, but mine was the sapphire FUE transplant and I was there for 3 nights.
Can you tell me about your payment process? I am worried about carrying cash.
So, I paid my deposit via PayPal online if I remember correctly, and then the remainder was paid in cash in person yes- because they say that if you want to pay the rest electronically a Turkish medical charge thing will be added to the total amount- so the whole procedure would end up costing you more- I wasn't willing to pay more than what they quoted me, so I just carried cash and carried it in a bum bag I wore around my waist, so that there was no way I'd get pickpocketed or something!
What package did you get?
They updated their packages since I had mine but it's equivalent to their gold package.
Your hair is growing just fine be happy.what are u worried about
Thanks!
I’m a bit confused what’s the issue with taking more from your donor area? Isn’t that the point aha
It risks your hair at the back, middle and sides of your head looking thin if they overdo it e.g. when we straighten or relax our hair or wear braids, if too many grafts where taken from the donor area, our hair will look thin. So basically, it may mess up our ability to wear certain styles confidently in future. That's what I meant 👍🏽
Can I ask, was it a doctor or technician that did you hair
I didn't ask that information, so I don't know know for sure, I'm afraid. They didn't explain who each person and/or their roles were.
Aww ok, where can I see a video of your donor area, without it in twist?
All of the videos prior to this one have my donor area un-twisted! Hope that helps!
I had a similar experience at Asli Tarcan clinic this summer. was quoted 4000-4500 grafts, but got 7000 grafts. I was around Northwood 4, so 7k grafts Is crazy to me. too early to say if my donor got butchered or not. I'm optimistic tho
Sorry to hear that, Nicky. It leaves us speechless really. Yes, I'm learning from others on here that the best thing to do now is just be optimistic. We don't want worry to cause even more hair loss!
Woow 7000 grafts? Unbelievable. Asli is a different level. They claim a butcher of Istanbul
I just my got my deposit back from them. I was uncomfortable after reading the reviews.
W. @@karmelkizzez01
I used Asli. They took 5000. I'm happy because I had really big area that needed the coverage.
My results are coming slowly. I personally won't knock them.
It's so easy to complain. We forget that we are the ones that needed the treatment. Would you prefer to stay bald?
What doctor did yours?
There were multiple people on my head- 2 female technicians, a male made the incisions in the recipient area, and Dr Seda drew my hairline and told them what to do in the morning.
👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Thanks for the info 👍
Can i get the HEVA contact 🙏
You're welcome! Their websites in the description box. Alternatively, instagram.com/hevaclinic?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==
What kind of involvement did the doctor have during operation ?
Dr Seda drew my hairline, told the techs what to do, and came in and out during the day to check on what the techs were doing and give them more information. A man- I believe it was Dr Ozlem- made my incisions.
@@TheWellnessAbbey ok so the only difference between the silver and gold package is the incision part ?
@@lavishreacts8010 I'm not sure- please contact them to ask what the differences are between their packages, as they didn't have different packages when I got mine done in March 2023, and it's been a few months since I looked at their new leaflet/pamphlet (don't want to be giving you wrong information).
Fut or fue?
FUE
Just be grateful that you got your edges back. Too much complaining. Be grateful 😇 Edges look amazing
Thank you!! X
They weren't going to ask you about your hair loss because they were going to do your transplant no matter what because you paid them.
Not good! They should be asking this during the consultation stage.
@IntentionalAdulting I remember in a previous video you said the other agency you looked at required a hair test of some sort to determine if you would be a good candidate for the procedure. If doctors determined who was good candidates or not, they would have a lot fewer patients. Also having androgenic alopecia doesn't mean you aren't a good candidate for hair transplant, it means you need to use minoxidil after the transplant to maintain the follicles they transplanted or you risk losing them again.
Yep, but maybe some clinics feel they're skilled enough to be able to tell without doing that test- who knows. It's surprising that they don't ask for the cause of the person's hairloss, and I don't think that merely sending them pictures is enough. They may assess this all from our photos and on the morning of the transplant without actually communicating anything to us, but it would actually make their service better if they provided a thorough consultation and information, even if this only took place on the day of the surgery. The clinics in the UK seemed to have a more thorough consultation process than Heva and longevita.
@IntentionalAdulting doctors in most developed countries would do a consultation and make sure patients are good candidates for hair transplants. I did a consultation in the US to determine if I was a good candidate for a hair transplant. They used advanced technology to determine that. These doctors in Türkiye only care about the money. This is the reason they use a team of technicians so they can maximize their day and perform several procedures in the day as opposed to focusing on one patient. I paid a lot more than the average person does when they go to Türkiye because I didn't have a team of technicians and the doctor couldn't perform multiple procedures for 2 days. The reality is they don't care about their patients, they are just hoping for a positive outcome after they perform the procedure so they can gain more patients through social media and videos such as yours that provide free promotion.
@IntentionalAdulting Also, if you aren't talking to a real clinic, but a fake clinic acting as a middleman, they don't know to ask these questions because they aren't medical professionals. But I am sure your clinic which is a middleman may start doing it now that you said it in your video and they reached out to you after seeing it.
I feel like from your story, my story, and other people's stories, it seems like these Turkish surgeons lack boundaries and respect for autonomy.
☹️
why would you still recommend them to people with all of what you said??. what you said is very important, no one should do their hair with a company that dont ask information etc. Its not a good clinic from your analyse, so please dont recommend them.
They did ask for information- see the pinned comment.
