Hair transplants in Turkey

[Karen81]

In general you can divide the hair transplant clinics in Turkey into three tiers (all-inclusive, medium and premium). I would be careful with all all-inclusive packages below 3,000 EUR because here most of the work is done by the technicians and the results are rather volatile. A good sign is if the doctors calculates per graft. Check out this site for all the pro and cons per tier: https://medihair.com/en/hair-transplant-turkey/. Turkey has some great hair transplant surgeons. However, its difficult to cut through all the marketing and find them BEFORE your surgery I hope this is helpful.

Hi joe I’m sure if u still read these as post was a good while ago Now. Wanted to say everything you write is so knowledgeable and you’d be mad not to listen to you. Great work bro. Wanted to say have u had experience with going to dr hakan doganay practice then and seen how he works?? (Cos u mentioned before u wouldn’t say unless you’d been first hand) wanted to know what you thought of his work cos after a year of research (and with a 6/7k budget) I’m 99% certain he is the man for me?? Only not concern is that all his work online is amazing yes but seems to be a while ago (some ppl saying results aren’t what they used to be?) be great if you could give your opinion thanks again man

Dr acar never ever carries out the surgery...it’s done by a technician (every single time)

Hi joe,

I’m considering cosmedica in turkey as they have been recommended to me. There is a package they do where you request the Doctor to carry out the surgery and not technicians, in this case Dr Acar. I’ve googled the Dr and can only see positive things.

MCAN Health Clinic has the best professional doctors in Istanbul. I can totally suggest them. My hair transplant is done 6 months ago, and they're still calling me about my treatment's status.

Dumb ass. Result hasn't even come through yet and your recommending them. At least you're getting your commission

There are good hospitals in Istanbul, be careful about small clinics. The technicians operate the operations not the doctors.

I have had a hair transplantation with Estinist in Istanbul. The team was very professional and i am very satisfied with the results. It has been almost 5 months and i alredy have a coverage that i always wanted. They didn't have a limit on grafts. Some clinics were saying that they can take 3.500 grafts but in estinist they managed to get 4.500 grafts and the price didn't change and the place were the hair was extracted hasnt been damaged. I was worried that I would be left with scars and bald patches on the back of my head but it is impossible to tellthat I have had a hair transplant!. My hair transplantation was made by doctors, which was very important for me.

Can you post pictures? I'm looking at a transplant in the near future. Thank you

I myself went to Cosmedica for my HT in September last year. I had seen various people online who had good experiences with Cosmedica so decided to take the plunge myself. I am just over 4 months since my op and am very happy with the way things are going. I had 2500 grafts.

DO you have any pictures of your operation and results?

[ibraheim]

Is the doctor expected to insert the grafts after the doctor makes the slit or is that typically an assistant/tech job? Does the doctor need to collect the graphs after using the punch tool whether its manual or motor or is it ok for a tech to do that?
thank you

That is on the high end of what I feel is a safe limit but personally, I think 3000 is a safer number to consider for either procedure.

Hi joe. Dr erdogan at asmed quoted me 5000 fue grafts done over 2 days so 2500 on consecutive days. Yes his high graft results are amazing as i know you have seen but is this still too much? Or as its done over 2 days makes it safer to do?

2) I have never had a transplant before but considering one, however one clinic has advised that I can have a 6000-8000 hair transplant by either FUT (Fuss). Or a double day FUE of 6000-8000 hairs. Do you think this is too much for a first time hair transplant and would advise against this or do you think this is about right in terms of grafts?

You said "hairs" so was the quote in grafts or hairs specifically? This is important to know because an 8000 hair procedure is about 3500 grafts. Please clarify.

Hi Joe, thanks for answering. Yes I have been quoted 6000-8000 HAIRS for ether an FUE or FUT procedure. So In grafts I was wondering if this would be within your recommended amount.

Best wishes,
