Consent & Image Policy
Before-and-after photos and patient stories are only ever published with the patient's explicit, informed and dated consent. We record what was agreed, keep images honest and unretouched in any way that would misrepresent a result, and let patients withdraw consent. This policy explains how we handle patient imagery and testimonials so what you see on the site is genuine and consented — never stock or manipulated.
Natural Hair TurkeyIstanbul · Personal assessmentHow we use patient images and stories
Any real before-and-after image, case study, review or video testimonial is published only after the patient has given explicit, informed and dated consent specifically for that use. We keep a record of the consent, including its date and scope, and patients can withdraw it — after which we remove the material from our control as far as reasonably possible.
Honesty of imagery
Before-and-after photos are shown in comparable conditions and are not retouched or edited in a way that would misrepresent the result. Where an image is illustrative rather than a specific patient's outcome, we label it as such. We never present stock imagery as a real patient, and we don't imply that anyone's result predicts yours — individual results vary.
How consent works — informed, specific and reversible
Consent for using a patient's image or story is only meaningful if the patient understands exactly what they're agreeing to. We ask separately for each use rather than treating one signature as blanket permission, explain where and how the material may appear, and record the date and scope of what was agreed. Consent given for one purpose isn't stretched to another, and it can be withdrawn — after which we remove the material from our control as far as reasonably possible. Agreeing to be treated is never taken as agreement to be shown publicly.
How to spot misleading before-and-after photos
Because galleries influence such big decisions, it helps to know what an honest one looks like — on any site, not just ours. Trustworthy before-and-afters are shown in comparable lighting and angles, are labelled with the graft count, technique and how many months after surgery, and are presented as examples rather than promises. Be sceptical of images with no dates or details, results that look identical across many 'different' patients, obvious retouching, or any suggestion that your outcome will match a particular photo. A clinic that shows fewer but genuinely documented cases is more reassuring than one showing a flawless, context-free wall of photos.
Current status
Where consented, dated patient cases are available, they appear in our galleries with the graft count, technique and result month. Until a case has that documented consent, it is not shown, and nothing unverified or non-consented is used in its place.
