Turkey is one of the most established destinations for hair transplant procedures globally, with a high concentration of specialist clinics and experienced surgical teams. The combination of competitive pricing, accredited hospitals, and high procedure volumes makes it a widely chosen option for clients from the UK and across Europe.

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 and £ 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 is quoted generally by non-qualified teams and for operations done in offices, where this operation should not be performed.

Hair transplanted from the donor area — which is genetically resistant to the hormones responsible for hair loss — is generally considered long-lasting. In many cases, transplanted hair remains stable for life. However, individual outcomes depend on factors such as the underlying cause of hair loss, which your partner surgeon will assess during consultation.

Transplanted hair from the donor area is generally resistant to the hormonal causes of hair loss. However, hair loss in untreated areas of the scalp may continue over time. Your partner surgeon will assess your individual situation and advise on realistic long-term expectations during consultation.

Hair transplants use your hair. Thus, if your hair gets grey genetically, it goes 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 lot of pressure on the grafts. And after 20 days, you can use your hair as normal. 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 vascular network is created on the scalp, and this helps better nourishment of your old hair. But this hair may fall out if they are genetically coded to be lost.

Transplanted hair is taken from donor areas that are genetically resistant to hair loss, meaning it generally remains stable as you age. Other areas of the scalp that have not been treated may continue to thin over time, which is why partner surgeons plan hairline placement with long-term hair loss patterns in mind.

Hairline placement is an important stage to focus on hair transplantation procedures. Your surgeon advises on the overall limits of the new hairline and transplantation areas based on the patient’s preferences.

Hair Dyeing After Hair Transplantation; When you pass a certain period after hair transplantation, you can dye your hair as you wish as you used to. There is no drawback to this. Your new hair is no different from your old hair. In short, you can do everything you used to do with your hair after having a transplant.

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 sign bearing your name.
  • They will drive you to the hospital and introduce you to your client 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-operative check-up to prepare you for the hair transplantation procedure.
  • Your procedure will then begin and may last up to eight hours, carried out under local anaesthesia. Your partner surgeon will perform the procedure with their surgical team. You will be positioned for up to four hours facing forward and up to three and a half hours facing backward to allow for complete root extraction and transplantation.

Second Day:

• 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 you further on post-operative medication, including a specialist lotion and shampoo, and the types of activities suitable during your recovery period.
• You will be ready to return home after your second day.

Your partner surgeon will provide you with a detailed, personalised list of pre-operative instructions specific to your situation. Please follow their guidance rather than acting on general information alone. The following represents typical guidance shared by partner surgeons:

• Inform your surgeon about your routine medication and full health history
• If you are taking any blood thinners, inform your surgeon, as they may represent a contraindication to surgery — any decision to stop or adjust blood-thinning medication must be made in consultation with your GP or prescribing doctor, not independently
• If you are taking beta-blockers, contact your surgeon; adjustments to intake may be required before your hair transplantation — again, only on medical advice
• 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 supplements for one week before your procedure, including 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 reduced 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, remove it before shampooing and do not wear it before your procedure
• Wear loose, comfortable clothing that does not need to be pulled over your head
• Do not wear cologne or perfume on the day of your 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 be travelling to the hotel with a headband-type bandage. You may bring a light hat or bandana to cover the bandage if preferred

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 you with detailed post-operative instructions tailored to your individual situation. Please follow their specific guidance. The following represents typical guidelines shared by partner surgeons:

• Avoid any contact with the transplantation area. Grafts can be damaged easily, even with light pressure or scratching. Wear comfortable clothing such as front-buttoned shirts. Protect your head when passing through low doorways and avoid sudden movements during sleep
• To reduce swelling on the forehead, sleep with at least two pillows. Also avoid leaning forward for extended periods, for example when using a computer
• Continue taking any prescribed antibiotics and anti-swelling medication as directed
• Your donor area dressing will be removed on the second day following your procedure
• You will be instructed on how to wash your hair at the clinic
• Do not attempt to remove any blood clots in the transplantation area after washing
• Wearing a cap is not recommended, but if necessary for appearance reasons, choose one that does not apply pressure to the transplantation area
• You may touch your hair, have it cut, wear a cap, and swim from two weeks after surgery
• Some forehead swelling in the first week is normal even with regular medication use. This will resolve on its own. To help reduce it, lower your salt intake during this period
• During the first month after the procedure, the transplanted hair will shed. This is normal. Hair regrowth typically occurs between 6 and 9 months. Initial growth will be finer than your original hair and will thicken within a year
• Deficiencies in iron, zinc, copper, selenium, Vitamin B12, and Vitamin B6, thyroid dysfunction, smoking, and certain scalp conditions may affect transplantation outcomes negatively

Yes, shaving the donor area is a standard part of the procedure. If you prefer a partial cut rather than a full shave, you may discuss this with your partner surgeon. However, most clients opt for a full cut for a more even appearance during recovery.

Hair transplantation is considered one of the most established and long-lasting approaches to hair restoration. Unlike topical or pharmaceutical treatments, it addresses hair loss through permanent follicle redistribution. Your partner surgeon will advise on whether it is the most appropriate option for your individual situation.

Hair transplantation is carried out under the supervision of plastic surgeons by the 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 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 characteristics, and the technique to be practiced, it is a process that takes approximately between 4 and 8 hours.

The procedure is carried out under local anaesthesia, which significantly reduces discomfort during the operation. Most clients report minimal pain during the procedure. After the operation, standard pain relief is typically sufficient to manage any post-operative discomfort — your partner surgeon will advise on appropriate medication.

In the majority of cases, and provided post-operative care instructions are followed carefully, transplanted hair does grow. Individual outcomes vary depending on factors such as graft quality, donor density, and aftercare compliance — your partner surgeon will discuss realistic expectations 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.

Transplanted hair grows naturally over time. The FUE method does not require linear incisions, which significantly reduces visible scarring compared to older techniques. Individual healing outcomes vary, but the aim of partner surgeons is a natural-looking result that is not readily apparent to others.

Yes, partner surgeons within the Global Medical Care network perform hair transplantation procedures for both women and men.

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 within our network and their surgical teams have performed over 5,000 hair transplant procedures. Experience and track record are core criteria in our partner clinic selection process.

Achieving a natural-looking result is the primary goal of partner surgeons. Aftercare is also a key factor — clients should follow all post-operative instructions carefully to support the best possible outcome.

Results from hair transplantation surgery are generally considered long-lasting. Final results typically become visible within a year of the procedure, and in some cases up to 18 months. Your partner surgeon will advise on expected longevity based on your individual assessment.

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.

The roots that are extracted from your donor area will last for a lifetime after they are transplanted into your desired balding areas.

The information given on this subject is slightly different from each other. According to the opinion of some hair transplant specialists, hair should not be dyed for the first 1.5-2 months. According to some, this period reaches 3-4 months.

You may dye your hair at least 48 hours before your hair transplant procedure. However, avoid applying strong chemical dyes or professional-strength colour treatments close to the procedure date, as these can irritate the scalp.
