Every stage of the trip is written down before you book a seat. A named member of the team answers your first WhatsApp message with a written assessment, and the plan that follows carries the expected graft count, the technique, the price and the dates. Sima then arranges airport pickup, a hotel and an English-speaking coordinator, billed separately at cost. Four nights in Aleppo cover the pre-operative check, the procedure day with the Istanbul team, and the first wash. Then you fly home, and the follow-up flies with you over WhatsApp until month twelve.
One message, one written plan, four nights in Aleppo, and a year of follow-up that flies home with you
Sima, the Aleppo clinic of Your Hair Center, Istanbul
The whole hair transplant process in seven stages, with quiet between them. You set the pace, and the same team holds the thread from the first photo you send to the last one you take at home
The hair transplant process at Sima in a few lines, before you go into the detail
A WhatsApp message and a few photos of the area start the hair transplant process. A written first assessment comes back, with no obligation
Expected graft count, technique, price and the dates that fit your trip, in writing before you book a seat
Airport pickup, hotel and an English-speaking coordinator, arranged by Sima and billed separately at cost
Day one in Aleppo. The donor area examined in person, the hairline agreed, the plan confirmed in writing
One day under one roof, six small stations, the Istanbul team at the chair, back at your hotel by evening
The first wash at the clinic, daily check-ins, a day for the citadel if you like, and the flight home on day four or five
Monthly photos over WhatsApp to the same team, inside the original price, until month twelve, when the mirror catches up with you
Jump to the stage you are living now
Both happen over WhatsApp, from wherever you are, and neither commits you to a flight or a date. The hair transplant process only touches a calendar once a written plan is in your hands
Your first message, with photos
Five lines, before anyone books a seat
Once you say yes to the plan, the coordinator who answered your first message arranges the trip in English, on the same thread. Aleppo airport runs scheduled flights from Istanbul, Sharjah and Kuwait, and most passports receive a visa on arrival, paid in cash in US dollars or euros. Bring cash for the whole trip, since card coverage in Syria is still partial in 2026. Nothing about the trip is folded into the procedure figure. Each line is arranged by Sima, billed separately at cost, and shown to you before you fly.
Most Western governments advise against travel to Syria; their advice is linked on the travel guide
Five things confirmed in person before the procedure, against the plan you already hold
Examined in person, and the graft count confirmed within the range in your written plan
Drawn and agreed with you, with the density behind it reviewed
FUE confirmed for your case, with whatever is particular to it, from skin tone to hair type to the shape of the area
The price in your plan confirmed in writing, by graft count and donor area, with twelve months of follow-up inside it and nothing added afterwards
The consultation, the procedure, the first wash, the home-care kit and twelve months of follow-up
The procedure takes hours, divided into six small stations under one roof. You do not move between buildings, and the hands at the chair belong to the same specialists who operate in our Istanbul centre
Illustrative image The first wash happens at the clinic, with the team showing you how the next one is done. While you are in Aleppo the coordinator checks in on WhatsApp every day, and many visitors spend the spare day at the citadel and the souq. Flying home on day four or five is normal, and the second wash on day ten is guided over WhatsApp wherever you are. From then on the rhythm is monthly, with photos to the same team and a written reply each month until the closing review. Monthly follow-up is included in the original price until the twelfth month. If you are Syrian and coming home, time the procedure with the visit; the team stays with you over WhatsApp after you fly back.
By month twelve the result has settled, and the mirror says what you already knew about yourself. The last photos usually arrive from a bathroom a long way from Aleppo, and nothing is asked of you that month. If you would like to share your journey, we are here. If you would rather keep it to yourself, we are here too. And if a friend comes to us because of you, the thank-you is a handwritten card, not a referral code.
The hair transplant process, from first message to final result, runs twelve months. From your first WhatsApp message to the closing review in month twelve, the hair transplant process takes a year. Four nights in Aleppo cover the pre-operative check, the procedure day, the first wash at the clinic and a day of rest, and flying home on day four or five is normal. The rest of the year passes at home, in short monthly exchanges of photos, not inside the clinic.
Yes. The journey is not a fixed rhythm. You can take your time after the written plan, before you book a seat, or between the check and the procedure day. The door stays open when you come back, with the same written plan in your hands.
The same team that operated, with the coordinator you already know, over WhatsApp. Each month you send photos and a written reply comes back, and there is no handover to another centre. If you are back in Aleppo during the year, the monthly review happens in the same room.
Airport pickup at Aleppo, a hotel for the nights you need and an English-speaking coordinator who is on WhatsApp from your first message and beside you at the clinic. Travel, hotel and airport pickup are arranged by Sima and billed separately at cost, and you see each line before you fly. Flights, the visa on arrival and what operates on the ground are on the travel guide.
No. The written figure covers the consultation, the procedure, the first wash, the home-care kit and twelve months of follow-up, and nothing is added afterwards. The only separate lines are the trip itself, at cost, itemised before you fly. Most FUE cases at Sima come to around ~$1,500, against roughly ~$2,570 to ~$4,800 for the equivalent trip to Istanbul once flights, hotel and lost working days are counted. Your figure is confirmed in writing after the consultation, by graft count and donor area.
The journey begins with one small question, and we are waiting for it
One message and a few photos are enough. The written assessment follows, the plan follows that, and nothing is booked until you say so. The consultation is free and commits you to nothing
