Where and by whom can this operation be performed?
It is an aesthetic surgery performed under local anesthesia, in operating rooms, by doctors.
Is hair transplant dangerous?
There is no known harm of the operation as long as it is performed by experienced doctors, in appropriate operating room conditions, with appropriate surgical instruments.
Which skin care measures to take before hair transplantation?
If there is a scalp disease, it should be treated before the operation. Antibiotics should be used if there is acne. Excessive dandruff should be treated. If there are skin lesions that may be precancerous, they should be removed before the operation and sent for examination. If a wig is used before hair transplantation, its use should be restricted 1-2 weeks before. If it is attached to the skin with an adhesive, this adhesive should be cleaned off the skin. Cosmetic products such as hair gel should not be used before the operation. If sprays that prevent hair loss such as minoxil are used, their use should be discontinued 1 week before the operation. Keep in mind that the hair will be cut in the clinic on the day of surgery.
Who can undergo a hair transplant?
- As long as the donor area is sufficient, any person with hair loss can undergo a hair transplant. The FUE method is recommended for those who do not wish to have a horizontal scar across the donor area. The FUE technique is also recommended for those who had undergone FUT or FUE earlier. FUE is a suitable technique for those who currently have slight hair loss in the crown area or near the hairline. These people have a higher risk of balding in the future and may need a second or third operation.
Who should not undergo a hair transplant?
If there is any systemic disease that will constitute a contraindication to local anesthesia, the hair transplant should be performed after the disease is treated. It is not recommended for patients whose expectations are unrealistic and whose donor area is insufficient. Again, patients with skin diseases should not undergo a hair transplant until the disease has been treated. Before the procedure, B12, B6, and zinc levels should be normal.Thyroid diseases should be treated. Blood sugar levels should be at normal levels in diabetics. Psychological disorders such as trichotillomania, OCD, depression, and body dysmorphic disorder should be reported.
Should hair transplant be performed before complete hair loss?
Those whose front hairline or crown area have balded, but other areas have not, may be uncertain about undergoing hair transplant. As it is known, it is an aesthetic operation. The receding of the hairline or a gap in the crown area may cause discomfort. In such cases, it can be performed without waiting for the rest hair to fall out. It is possible to repeat the FUE method in the future. It is one of the most important advantages of the FUE technique. In other words, when the rest of the hair falls, a second operation can be performed without creating an unnatural appearance. The operation can be repeated over the years.
Can hair transplant be done without cutting the hair?
Generally, the hair in both the recipient area and the donor area has to be cut. The hair in the donor area, especially, has to be shortened in the FUE method.
How long does the hair transplant process take?
Under normal conditions, it takes an average of 6 to 8 hours.

Is it necessary to stay in the hospital after hair transplantation?
Will dressing be required after hair transplantation?
After the operation, the donor area is covered, and the recipient area is left open. This dressing is removed after an average of 2-3 days after the hair is washed.
What are the post-operative instructions after hair transplant?
The recipient area should be protected from all kinds of trauma. It is necessary to sleep on the back to prevent the edema that may occur. Due to the edema associated with the operation, the hairline can appear asymmetrical or far behind, when it is not. In fact, it will be possible to make such evaluations after 8 months. Driving home is not recommended.The patient can start using medications prescribed by the doctors at home. It is recommended to eat light meals after the operation. Smoking and alcohol use is not recommended for an average of 10 days after the operation.
What are the instructions to follow after the scabs fall off?
Turkish bath, pool, sauna, swimming, and strenuous sports are not recommended for an average of one and a half months. Smoking and alcohol must be restricted. The patient can use the shampoo that was used before the operation.
Will the transplanted hair fall out later?
The transplanted hair falls out 3-4 weeks after the operation. This is called shock loss. In fact, the hair follicles are transplanted. As the hair falls out, the hair roots remain under the skin and begin to grow hair. They start to appear after an average of 3 months. Not all come out at the same time. Hair growth continues for an average of 5 months, increasing in density and continues until the eighth month. Asymmetry and unproportional density in some areas can be noticed. Therefore, it will not be correct to evaluate the result in this period. An average of 8 months should be enough for the evaluation of the results. Between the first 8-12 months, the scars fad and increasing hair density is observed. During the period between the 8th month and the 12th month, a more natural appearance begins to appear. An average of one year are needed for the evaluation of the final appearance. Since the impanted hair follicles are not affected by the DHT hormone, there is no hair loss like male pattern baldness.
Will there be any redness after hair transplant?
There may be some redness as the scars heal. In non-sensitive skin, this redness is expected to disappear within 10 days. However, this redness may take longer in sensitive skin.
Is Turkey the best choice for a hair transplant?
Turkey is truly the best choise on the planet for a hair transplant. There are other places where you can also get a high-quality hair transplant, but all of them are much more expensive. This is precisely why medical tourism in the country is booming at a very fast pace.
How can I choose the best clinic for my hair transplant in Turkey?
Among the many clinics located in Turkey there are a number of highly regarded clinics in Istanbul. You are advised to learn as much as you can about the care offered, the guarantee of care within a hospital or clinic, the transplant procedure itself, the hygienic and sterile environment associated with the operation, the quality of care provided by healthcare professionals and the type of experience professionals in hair transplantation industry have. You should also check online reviews by former patients to see which patient(s) are satisfied with which clinics.
