About Hair Transplant in Turkey
A hair transplant is a surgical procedure that relocates a patient’s own hair follicles from a DHT-resistant donor area (typically the back and sides of the head) to thinning or bald areas. Transplanted follicles generally retain their resistance to male hormones, making hair transplant a long-term solution for many causes of hair loss, including genetics, stress, and nutritional deficiencies.
People consider a hair transplant when their native hair follicles thin or when visible hair loss affects appearance or confidence. The procedure uses the patient’s own hair follicles taken from the donor area (commonly the occipital/nape region) and transplants them into the recipient sites on the scalp.
If you’re unfamiliar with hair transplant in Turkey, here’s what to expect: a pre‑op assessment to determine candidacy, a treatment plan that estimates graft number, and a discussion of techniques and likely outcomes. (Note: Figure 1 referenced in this article should include a caption and alt text describing the step‑by‑step process.) To get a personalized assessment, schedule a consultation or upload clear photos so specialists can provide a preliminary graft estimate and next steps.
Hair Transplant Procedure in Turkey
A hair transplant relocates your own hair follicles from a DHT‑resistant donor area (typically the back and sides of the head) into thinning or bald recipient sites. Because the procedure uses autologous tissue, immune rejection is extremely unlikely, though surgical risks such as infection or temporary shock loss can occur. The donor area is examined during assessment to ensure sufficient follicles are available for the planned graft number.
Commonly used techniques are discussed in the Techniques section, and you’ll pick the best option with your surgeon and team. Typical procedure-day steps include:
- Pre-op assessment and local anesthesia of the scalp;
- Harvesting grafts from the donor area (FUE/FUT/DHI methods vary in approach);
- Creating recipient sites and placing grafts with careful angulation for a natural hairline;
- Post-op dressing and immediate recovery instructions.
Procedure time depends on graft count and technique. Small cases (1,000–1,500 grafts) often take 3–4 hours.
Types of Hair Transplants in Turkey
Turkey’s clinics routinely offer the full range of hair transplant options. Below is a concise overview to help you compare approaches, understand which procedures treat which areas (scalp, face, hairline), and how each method affects graft handling, recovery time, and final density.
Types by treatment area
- Scalp hair transplant: Harvests grafts from permanent hair-bearing areas (donor area on the back/sides of the head) and transplants them to thinning or bald scalp regions to restore overall density and the hairline.
- Facial hair transplant: Targets eyebrows, beards or mustaches; uses small grafts placed precisely for natural direction and density.
- Hairline reconstruction: Recreates a natural-looking frontal hairline shape—important for aesthetic outcomes and should be planned with a specialist surgeon.
Main surgical techniques
The three most commonly used techniques in Turkey are FUE, FUT and DHI. Each has pros and cons—your surgeon and team will recommend the best option based on donor characteristics, desired grafts and recovery preferences.
FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction)
FUE is the most commonly chosen technique for scalp transplants because it is minimally invasive: individual follicular units are extracted from the donor area and implanted in recipient sites. Variants include Sapphire FUE (sapphire blades for recipient incisions) and MicroFUE (very small extraction tips ~0.6–1.0 mm). Advantages: smaller wounds, faster donor healing, and flexibility for different graft counts. Typical concerns: slightly longer operative time for large graft numbers.
FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation)
FUT (strip method) removes a linear strip of scalp from the donor area; technicians then dissect follicular units from the strip. Pros: can yield a high number of grafts in a single session and may preserve surrounding adipose support for grafts. Cons: leaves a linear scar at the donor site and requires sutures.
DHI (Direct Hair Implantation)
DHI is a variation of FUE where extracted follicles are implanted using a pen-like implanter (no separate recipient incisions). It can allow precise placement and angle control. Clinics vary in who performs the implantation—confirm whether a qualified surgeon or trained technicians will handle critical stages.
Technique comparison (quick)
- FUE: Minimally invasive; good for most patients; donor wounds heal quickly; suitable for 1,000–4,000+ grafts depending on donor supply.
- Sapphire FUE / MicroFUE: Refinements aimed at finer incisions and improved graft survival—ask clinics for evidence or surgeon experience.
- FUT: Efficient for very large graft numbers; leaves linear scar—consider if you prefer shorter shaved donor zones.
- DHI: Precise implantation control; confirm who performs implanting and expected graft survival rates.
Who is a good candidate?
Candidates are typically adults in good general health with adequate donor follicles. Contraindications can include uncontrolled systemic illnesses (e.g., uncontrolled diabetes), active scalp infections, and bleeding/coagulation disorders.
Recovery & aftercare (key points)
Donor and recipient sites generally heal over 8–10 days. Follow your surgeon’s aftercare plan closely.
- Avoid touching or scratching the grafts; sleep with head elevated for several days to reduce swelling;
- Wear loose clothing (buttoned shirts) for the first week and a protective, breathable cap outdoors;
- Avoid heavy exercise, swimming, saunas and hot baths for around 4 weeks;
- Follow medication and wound‑care instructions; avoid blood‑thinning medications unless approved by your physician.
Risks & FAQs (brief)
- Pain: Mild-to-moderate discomfort during and shortly after surgery—managed with local anesthesia and pain relief.
- Scarring: Minimal dot-like scars with FUE; linear scar with FUT.
- Shock loss: Temporary shedding of native hair can occur but usually regrows.
- Graft survival: Proper handling and short out-of-body time improve graft survival—ask your clinic about their graft protocol.
