Tourist's heart stopped after hair transplant procedure in Turkey

Medics were unable to save a British man who came to a clinic in Turkey for a hair transplant. This was reported by The Daily Mail.

The incident occurred at the CINIK clinic in Istanbul. The foreigner underwent all necessary procedures, and shortly afterward his condition deteriorated. He was taken to the nearest hospital, but they were unable to save him.

Local authorities have launched an investigation into the incident. Law enforcement officers questioned the surgeon, anesthesiologist, and other staff who participated in the procedures.

According to the publication, Turkey has become the most popular country for those wanting hair transplants, accounting for almost 60% of the global market in this field. More than a million people travel to the country annually for such procedures.

However, such interventions can lead to serious consequences. According to trichologist Aigul Ibatullina, a person may experience an individual reaction, as some people's immune systems give a "strong response" even to the most minor operations.
