Hair today, gone tomorrow.
According to a lawsuit filed with the Istanbul Consumer Court,
American citizen Oluwaseun C. sought treatment at a private health
center in Sarıyer due to social anxiety and hair loss.
Based on the allegations, the hair transplant procedure, which was
promised to take 6 hours, lasted more than 8 hours. Oluwaseun C.,
who experienced extraordinary pain during the procedure, underwent
the operation in intense agony despite additional anesthetic injections.
Oluwaseun C.'s pain did not subside after the operation, and her requests,
particularly regarding the top of her head, were ignored, with not a
single hair follicle being transplanted in that area.
Claiming that she experienced severe headaches, constant numbness,
itching, swelling, and depressions in her scalp after the operation,
Oluwaseun C. filed a lawsuit through her lawyer at the Istanbul Consumer
Court. The petition states that Oluwaseun C.'s hair loss increased
throughout her head and the bald areas widened after the operation, adding:
"My client has become unable to go out in public without a wig and hat
in her work and social life. In light of the pain, suffering, loss of
self-confidence, and uncertainty about the future experienced by my client,
we demand that the defendant clinic be ordered to pay 90,250 dollars
(approximately 4 million TL) in material and moral damages."
In the response submitted to the court by the health center's lawyer, it was
stated: "Our client company has fully fulfilled all its medical responsibilities.
The failure of hair transplants in individuals with skin diseases is entirely
due to the individual's medical history, not to any negligent procedures by
the clinic or physician. Therefore, we request the dismissal of this abstract
and unfounded lawsuit."
