Hair Transplant in Turkey
Hair transplantation moves healthy hair follicles from a suitable donor area to areas affected by permanent thinning or hair loss. The hairline, graft distribution and treatment plan are designed according to the patient’s facial proportions and future hair-loss pattern.
Fit&Fit Health Journey provides personalised hair transplant planning and international patient support in İzmir, Turkey.
Who May Be Suitable for a Hair Transplant?
Hair transplantation may be suitable for patients with permanent pattern hair loss, sufficient donor hair and realistic expectations.
Sudden, unexplained or patchy hair loss should be medically evaluated before surgery. Some conditions, including active scalp disease and certain forms of alopecia, may require another treatment approach.
Hair Transplant Techniques
FUE Hair Transplant
Follicular Unit Extraction removes individual follicular units from the donor area. The grafts are then placed into carefully planned channels in the recipient area. FUE leaves multiple small scars rather than one linear scar.
FUT Hair Transplant
Follicular Unit Transplantation removes a narrow strip of hair-bearing skin from the donor area. The strip is divided into individual grafts, leaving a linear scar that is normally covered by surrounding hair.
Direct Hair Implantation
Direct implantation commonly refers to placing extracted FUE grafts with a pen-shaped implantation device. The appropriate implantation method depends on the treatment area, graft requirements and scalp condition.
Your Hair Transplant Journey with Fit&Fit
1. Online Assessment
Patients provide scalp photographs, age, medical history, medication details and information about the development of their hair loss.
2. Scalp and Donor Area Examination
Hair-loss pattern, donor density, hair characteristics and scalp health are examined. The approximate graft requirement and a long-term hairline plan are then discussed.
3. Hairline Design and Extraction
The hairline is designed according to facial proportions and available donor capacity. Hair follicles are extracted using the selected technique under local anaesthesia.
4. Graft Placement
Grafts are placed according to the planned direction, angle and density. The procedure commonly takes several hours and most patients do not require an overnight hospital stay.
5. Aftercare and Follow-Up
Patients receive instructions about washing, sleeping position, medication, sun protection and physical activity. Remote follow-up continues after the patient returns home.
Hair Transplant Recovery
Temporary swelling, tightness and scabbing may occur during early recovery. The newly transplanted grafts must be protected carefully during the first two weeks.
Gentle washing generally begins within the first week according to the clinic’s instructions. Many patients return to light or desk-based work within approximately one to two weeks.
The transplanted hairs commonly shed during the first few weeks. New growth often begins after approximately four months, while the final result may take 10 to 18 months to develop.
Scars and Long-Term Results
FUE creates multiple small donor-area scars, while FUT leaves a linear scar. Scar visibility depends on the technique, healing response and hairstyle.
Transplanted follicles can provide long-lasting hair growth, but untreated natural hair may continue to thin. Long-term medical treatment may therefore be recommended after an individual assessment.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is a hair transplant permanent?
Transplanted follicles are generally resistant to pattern hair loss and may provide long-lasting growth. However, surrounding natural hair can continue to thin.
How many grafts will I need?
The number depends on the size of the treatment area, donor density, hair characteristics and desired coverage. It can only be estimated after an assessment.
Does a hair transplant require shaving?
FUE commonly requires shaving or trimming the donor area. The extent of shaving depends on the technique and treatment plan.
When will new hair begin to grow?
New growth commonly begins at around four months. Density and texture continue to develop over the following months.
How much does a hair transplant in Turkey cost?
The cost depends on the technique, graft requirement, treatment area and included services. A personalised quotation is provided after assessment.
