On November 13, 2025, a tragic incident occurred in Turkey involving a British tourist. A 36-year-old man had traveled to Istanbul last week to undergo a hair transplant procedure at a clinic in Fulya, followed by dental work the next day in Ayazaga.
After the treatments, the man returned to his hotel in the Sisli district. However, he soon fell ill, and medics were notified. The man was rushed by ambulance to Seyrantepe Hamidiye Etfal Training and Research Hospital, where he sadly passed away around 4:30 pm.
An autopsy was conducted, but the cause of death has not yet been released. The man's body was then collected by his family and returned to his home in the UK. Authorities have now launched an investigation into the incident.
Turkey has become a popular destination for hair transplant procedures, with the country expected to receive over 1.1 million hair transplant patients by 2025. However, this tragic event serves as a stark reminder of the potential risks involved with medical tourism.
