What sets the top pick apart?
Three things separate Dr. Terziler Exclusive Clinic from the rest: the doctor performs every procedure, the clinic invented its own Robotic DHI, and it holds the only AACI accreditation in Turkey.
How to spot a fake before-and-after
1. Check the lighting. A wet-hair after photo next to a dry-hair before photo hides real density.
2. Look for the same camera distance and part line in both shots.
3. Ask for video, not just stills. Motion is far harder to fake.
4. Ask how many months after surgery the photo was taken. Real density lands at 12 to 18 months.
Honest clinics show timelines and imperfect angles. A gallery that looks flawless is a red flag.
