Hair Transplant Istanbul in Turkey from £1,590

FUE (standard): individual grafts harvested with a punch, the most widely used technique. DHI: implanted directly with a Choi pen, potentially higher density but often a premium price without clinical advantage. FUT (strip): more grafts in a single session but a linear scar at the back of the head. Sapphire FUE: sharper blades for recipient channels, faster healing. For most patients, classic FUE delivers excellent results - the premium for DHI/Sapphire is often marketing. Before booking, ask for the written plan, inclusions and exclusions, expected recovery time, possible alternatives, follow-up route and warning signs that require local care. If the question is about price, timing or results, treat the page information as guidance until the medical assessment and written quote are completed.

It depends on the Norwood stage: Norwood 2-3 (receding hairline) 1,500-2,500 grafts, Norwood 4 (with early crown loss) 2,500-3,500, Norwood 5-6 (advanced) 3,500-5,000, Norwood 7 (very advanced) 5,000-6,500. The donor area at the back of the head provides at most 6,000-8,000 grafts in total - do not exhaust this reserve in a single procedure if you might need a touch-up later.

Standard 3-4 days: Day 1 arrival + pre-op examination, Day 2 surgery (6-8 hours), Day 3 first wash + check-up, Day 4 return flight. Beard and eyebrow procedures are shorter (2-3 days). PRP is non-surgical - one day is enough for a single session.

A genuine concern after several Turkish headlines - some agencies sell procedures performed by unlicensed staff. In hair transplantation a team works under medical supervision - the doctor typically handles hairline design and incisions while the team assists with implantation. Insist on: the doctor's name and Turkish Medical Association (Tabipler Birliği) licence number in writing, an in-person meeting with the doctor before surgery, and the doctor's name in the operative report. Before booking, ask for the written plan, inclusions and exclusions, expected recovery time, possible alternatives, follow-up route and warning signs that require local care. If the question is about price, timing or results, treat the page information as guidance until the medical assessment and written quote are completed.

Shock loss in weeks 2-8 (transplanted hairs fall out - this is normal). New hairs start growing from month 3. Presentable results at month 6-9. Final result at 12-18 months. Anyone promising faster results is misleading you. Before booking, ask for the written plan, inclusions and exclusions, expected recovery time, possible alternatives, follow-up route and warning signs that require local care.
