Turkey is one of the world’s most established destinations for hair transplant surgery, with a high concentration of experienced specialist clinics and medical teams. The volume and variety of procedures performed there has made it a leading centre for hair restoration.

Hair transplant costs can vary a lot in Turkey. Prices below £1400 are generally given by non-qualified teams who are doing the operations in local offices. The price of a hair transplant in a hospital with an experienced doctor generally varies between £1500-3000 depending on the comfort level and operation type.

3000 grafts cost around £1500-3000 in proper operations done in a hospital and by a doctor. Lower than £1500 are quoted generally by nonqualified teams and for operations done in offices where this operation should not be performed.

Transplanted hair is taken from the donor area — the part of the scalp that is genetically resistant to hair loss — and relocated to thinning areas. Because of this, transplanted hair is generally considered long-lasting. Individual results may vary depending on each client’s health profile and hair loss pattern.

The transplanted hair is taken from areas of the scalp that are resistant to genetic hair loss, which means it is generally not subject to the same loss pattern as the original hair. However, untreated areas of the scalp may continue to thin over time. Your partner surgeon will plan the procedure with your long-term hair loss pattern in mind.

Hair transplants are your hair. Thus if your hair gets grey genetically they go grey as well. They will get grey at the same time as your other hair. Thus your hair getting grey will not create a change in your look if you have a hair transplant.

After the hair transplant, you can hide your head with a clean and light cap. You should make sure that it does not create a big pressure on grafts. And after 20 days you can use your hair as normal ones. You should just not use very heavy things on your head (like a motorcycle helmet)

After the hair transplant generally the old hair in the transplantation area stays longer with you than without a hair transplant. The main reason for this is that with the hair transplant, a completely new and wide weins network is created on the scalp and this helps a better nourishment of your old hair. But this hair may fall if they are genetically coded to be lost.

Transplanted hair is taken from areas of the scalp that are genetically resistant to hair loss, so it is generally not subject to the same thinning process as untreated hair. However, the natural ageing process may affect hair texture and density over time. Your overall appearance after a transplant is designed to remain balanced as you age, based on the long-term planning carried out by your partner surgeon.

Hairline placement is an important stage of the hair transplantation procedure. Your partner surgeon will advise on the overall limits of the new hairline and transplantation areas based on each client’s preferences and individual anatomy.

Although it may vary from client to client, here is a typical daily schedule for hair transplantation operations:

First Day:

• You arrive at the airport and your driver will wait for you at the exit of the customs zone with a tag with your name.
• You will be transferred to the hospital and introduced to your patient coordinator, who is fluent in your language.
• After the initial registration procedure, you will meet your partner surgeon in person.
• You will have your pre-procedure checks in preparation for the hair transplantation.
• The procedure will then begin and may last up to eight hours, carried out under local anaesthesia. You will need to lie in different positions during the session to allow for complete root extraction and implantation.
• You will rest at your hotel following the procedure.

Day 2:

• You will visit the hospital again for a final check-up including visual consultation, hair root check, and removal of the dressing and washing.
• Your partner surgeon will advise on medication, including a special lotion and shampoo, and the activities you can resume during your recovery period.
• You will be ready to return home after your second day.

You will receive a detailed, personalised list from your partner surgeon covering what to do and what to avoid before the procedure. Please wait for these specific instructions, as individual requirements may differ. The following is general guidance typically shared by partner surgeons with their clients:

• You should inform your surgeon about your routine medication and health history
• If you are taking any blood thinners, please let your surgeon know, as they may represent a contra-indication to surgery — you may need to stop their intake two weeks before your procedure
• If you are taking broad beta-blockers, please contact your surgeon, as you may need to stop intake two weeks before your hair transplantation
• It is better to leave your hair long, as your surgeon can trim it to the appropriate length on the morning of the procedure
• Do not take any Vitamin B or E for one week before your procedure. This applies to any multivitamins containing these vitamins
• Do not take Aspirin or any other anti-inflammatory medications (NSAIDs) for one week before your hair transplant procedure
• Smoking may cause poor healing after hair transplantation surgery and can increase the chance of infection and scarring. It may also contribute to poor hair growth. You should stop smoking one week before surgery
• Do not drink any alcoholic beverages for at least three days before your hair transplantation procedure
• You may shower on the morning of your procedure. Do not apply sprays, gels, or any other styling products to your hair
• If you wear a hair system, please remove it before shampooing and do not wear it before your procedure
• You should wear loose, comfortable clothing that does not need to be pulled on over your head
• Please do not wear any cologne or perfume on the day of your hair transplantation procedure
• Have breakfast on the morning of your procedure. If your surgery is scheduled for the afternoon, have a light lunch before you arrive
• Do not drink coffee or any caffeinated beverages on the day of your procedure
• You will return to your hotel wearing a headband-type bandage. You may bring a light hat or bandana to cover the bandage if you prefer

The platelet-rich plasma is injected subcutaneously under the scalp with microneedles. The injection is painless and takes 2-3 minutes.

Your partner surgeon will provide detailed instructions tailored to your individual situation. The following is general guidance typically shared by partner surgeons with their clients:

• You should not make any contact with the area of the transplantation. The grafts can be damaged easily even with little pressure or scratches. You should wear comfortable clothing such as shirts buttoned from the front. Protect your head while trespassing under a door and avoid sudden moves during sleep
• To prevent the swelling on your forehead you should pick at least two pillows while sleeping. You should also avoid leaning forward (e.g. when using the computer)
• The continuation of the antibiotics and anti-swelling medication is essential
• Your donor area dressing will be peeled off on the second day of your operation.
• You will be instructed on how to wash your hair in the clinic
• You should not try to remove the blood clots on the transplantation area after the shower
• Wearing a cap is generally not recommended in the early recovery period, but if necessary due to appearance concerns, choose a cap that does not apply pressure to the transplantation area.
• You can touch your hair, get your hair cut, wear a cap, and swim two weeks after surgery
• Even if you use your medication regularly, there might be some swelling on your forehead in the first week. This will not cause any problems and will disappear later on. To speed up this process, you should reduce salt and flavor in your diet.
• The first month after the procedure, you will lose the hair that is transplanted onto your head. The growing period of your hair will be between 6-9 months. The initial growth will be thinner than your original hair but it will get thicker within a year
• Systematic lack of iron, zinc, copper, selenium, Vitamin B12, and Vitamin B6, thyroid hormone dysfunction, smoking, and diseases on hair skin (i.e. lichen) may affect hair transplantation negatively

1. About 10 cc of blood is taken.
2. The blood is transferred to a sterile environment in a particular device to increase the number of platelets in the plasma volume.
3. The cells of the blood are separated by centrifugation and the platelet concentration in blood plasma increases up to 4-8 times.

Yes, trimming the donor area is a standard requirement of the procedure. If you are comfortable with a partial cut only, you may discuss this with your partner surgeon. However, most clients opt for a full haircut, as a partial cut can create an uneven appearance.

Hair transplantation is widely regarded as the most long-lasting solution for hair restoration. Unlike topical or medication-based treatments, it addresses hair loss structurally by relocating resistant follicles. Individual outcomes depend on each client’s hair loss pattern, donor availability, and adherence to aftercare instructions.

Hair transplantation is carried out under the supervision of plastic surgeons by hair transplantation experts with at least 10 years of experience. In medical operations, surgeons, only do their core job where they are specialized. As an example, in heart surgery, assistants open the body and prepare everything for the job of the surgeon, and then close it. In hair transplantation, this is the same. The doctor defines the hairline and placements of the grafts, defines the donor area, and defines the principles of the selection. An anesthetist performs the anesthesia. Then, hair transplantation experts operate under the close supervision of plastic surgeons.

Depending on the size of the area to be transplanted, skin, and hair character, and the technique to be practiced, it is a process taking approximately between 4 and 8 hours.

The procedure is carried out under local anaesthesia, which significantly minimises discomfort during the operation. After the procedure, standard painkillers are typically sufficient to manage any post-operative discomfort. Your partner surgeon will advise on appropriate pain management for your individual situation.

In most cases, transplanted hair does grow successfully, provided aftercare instructions are followed carefully. Individual results may vary. Your partner surgeon will discuss realistic expectations with you during your consultation.

There is no circumstance preventing you from going out after the operation. In the first couple of days, there are tiny pink spots to be seen. These gradually fade away and become normal in a week.

Generally, after 3 days you can have a bath. Using special lotions and caring after the bath will be important and your medical team in the hospital will guide you through them.

They emerge as tiny particles 3 months after the operation date; they reach the normal length in approximately 6 months.

Yes, transplanted hairs usually fall out after transplantation. But as with the transplantation, new hair roots are created, and new hair will grow back in the transplanted area.

The FUE method does not involve strip incisions, which means scarring is typically minimal and not visible to the naked eye. Partner surgeons aim to place follicles at natural angles and densities so that results integrate seamlessly with existing hair. Individual outcomes vary.

Yes, partner surgeons perform hair transplantation on both men and women.

Hair transplantation does not increase the total number of hairs on the scalp, cannot prevent future alopecia, and is limited by available donor hair.

Most partner surgeons and their medical teams have performed over 5,000 hair transplant procedures.

Achieving a natural-looking result is the goal of every partner surgeon. Aftercare is also a key factor in the final outcome. Clients should follow post-operative instructions carefully to support the best possible results.

The result of hair transplantation surgery is permanent. It may take up to a year to see the final results. In some cases, it can take up to 18 months.

The number of grafts you need is related to the degree of your hair loss. Your surgeon will advise how many grafts you need when he assesses your pictures from different angles during online consultation or when he sees you in person.

Your new hair roots will grow thinner and they are going to fall off within three months (usually in the first month). After this period, the transplanted grafts will be stronger and thicker.

Hair follicles transplanted from the donor area are genetically resistant to the hormonal process that causes pattern hair loss. As a result, transplanted hair is generally considered long-lasting. Individual outcomes may vary depending on overall health and hair loss progression.
