How Much Does FUT Hair Transplant Cost in Turkey?

The cost of a FUT hair transplant in Turkey generally ranges from $1,000 to $3,500. This is significantly cheaper than in the United States, where the average cost is around $8,000. Turkey's popularity as a destination for medical tourism, particularly for FUT hair transplants, is due to lower operational costs and high patient volume. Clinics often adhere to international standards and use quality materials, ensuring reliable results. Popular cities like Istanbul offer a range of options, making it an attractive choice for those seeking affordable hair restoration.

What is FUT Hair Transplant in Turkey?

FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation) hair transplants in Turkey involve removing a strip of scalp tissue from the donor area, typically the back of the head, and transplanting individual hair follicles to areas of hair loss. This method allows for the transplantation of up to 4,000 grafts in a single session, making it suitable for extensive hair restoration cases.

Procedure:

  1. Consultation and Assessment: Surgeon evaluates hair loss pattern and determines graft requirements for optimal coverage.
  2. Local Anesthesia: The scalp is numbed using local anesthesia to ensure patient comfort throughout the procedure.
  3. Strip Removal: A linear strip of scalp tissue is surgically removed from the donor area using precise techniques.
  4. Follicle Separation: Hair follicles are carefully dissected from the strip under microscopic magnification to preserve graft quality.
  5. Recipient Site Preparation: Tiny incisions are created in the balding areas following natural hair growth patterns.
  6. Graft Implantation: Individual follicular units are transplanted into prepared sites, and the donor area is closed with sutures.

Benefits:

  • Higher Graft Yield: Can harvest up to 4,000 grafts in one session, more than FUE techniques.
  • Cost Efficiency: Generally more affordable than FUE procedures due to shorter operation time.
  • Suitable for Advanced Hair Loss: Ideal for patients with extensive balding patterns requiring maximum coverage.

Drawbacks:

  • Linear Scarring: Leaves a permanent scar at the donor site, which may be visible with very short hairstyles.
  • Longer Recovery: Healing time of 10-14 days compared to shorter recovery with FUE methods.
  • Limited Future Options: Multiple FUT procedures may not be possible due to scalp tension.
  • Post-operative Discomfort: More pain and discomfort compared to minimally invasive techniques.

Success Rate: FUT hair transplants performed by experienced Turkish surgeons achieve graft survival rates of 95-98%. The procedure offers permanent results with natural-looking hair growth typically visible within 8-12 months post-surgery.

Note: Patients should verify clinic accreditation and surgeon credentials before treatment.

Key Benefits

FUT hair transplant in Turkey is a popular and cost-effective option for those seeking hair restoration. The procedure, also known as Follicular Unit Transplantation, involves transferring hair follicles from a donor site to balding areas.

In Turkey, the cost can range from $1,000 to $3,500, potentially saving you 50% or more compared to US prices. Many clinics in Turkey use advanced technology and are accredited by international bodies like JCI, ensuring high standards of care and safety. Istanbul is a particularly favored destination for this procedure due to its accessibility and experienced surgeons.

FUT Hair Transplant in Turkey: Your Travel Plan

Day 1: Arrival in Turkey
  • Upon landing at the airport, a VIP transfer will pick you up and take you to your hotel. You should ensure your arrival is in the morning to allow for the necessary pre-operation procedures.
  • Check into your hotel, which is part of the package and includes breakfast.
  • Visit the clinic for a consultation with your surgeon. A blood test will be conducted to ensure you are fit for the procedure.
  • Discuss the details of the FUT hair transplant with your doctor. Make sure you understand the procedure, post-operative care, and expected outcomes.
  • Relax and get a good night's sleep. Avoid alcohol and heavy meals.
Day 2: Surgery Day
  • Arrive at the clinic early in the morning. You should not eat or drink anything for 8 hours prior to the surgery.
  • Undergo the FUT hair transplant procedure, which takes approximately 6-7 hours, including breaks. Local anesthesia will be administered to minimize discomfort.
  • During the procedure, a strip of skin with hair follicles will be removed from the donor area, typically the back of the head. The follicles are then prepared for transplantation.
  • Once the grafts are ready, the surgeon will make tiny incisions in the recipient area and place the follicles carefully to ensure natural growth patterns.
  • After the procedure, you will be monitored briefly before being discharged. A headband may be provided to manage any swelling.
  • Return to your hotel to rest. Avoid any strenuous activities or bending over.
Day 3: Post-Operation Check-Up
  • Visit the clinic for a post-operative check-up. The medical team will examine the transplanted area and provide instructions for care.
  • The first head wash will be performed by professionals at the clinic to ensure proper cleaning and care of the grafts.
  • Receive medications, including antibiotics and pain relievers, as well as special shampoos and lotions for post-operative care.
  • Discuss any concerns or questions with your doctor before leaving the clinic.
  • Continue resting at the hotel. Avoid touching or scratching the transplanted area.
Day 4: Recovery and Relaxation
  • Spend the day resting at your hotel. You can take a gentle shower, avoiding direct water pressure on the transplanted area.
  • Apply any prescribed lotions or shampoos as instructed by your doctor. Avoid rubbing or massaging the scalp.
  • Stay out of direct sunlight. Avoid wearing hats or helmets that could irritate the scalp.
  • If you experience any discomfort or unusual symptoms, contact the clinic for advice.
Day 5: Final Check and Departure
  • Return to the clinic for a final check-up. The doctor will assess the healing progress and provide further instructions for care once you return home.
  • Discuss any additional treatments, such as PRP therapy, that may enhance the results of your transplant.
  • Receive a detailed care plan for the upcoming weeks, including when to resume normal activities and how to manage the transplanted area.
  • Check out of your hotel and use the VIP transfer service to reach the airport for your flight home.
  • Continue following the post-operative care instructions provided by the clinic to ensure optimal healing and hair growth.
Post-Return: Continued Care
  • Once home, continue using the special shampoos and lotions provided. Follow the care instructions diligently to ensure the best results.
  • Avoid strenuous activities, swimming, and exposure to sun or dust for at least 2 weeks post-surgery.
  • If you have any concerns or notice any unusual symptoms, contact the clinic for advice. Most clinics offer a 12-month postoperative care service.

Whether it's the doctors, nurses or reception staff, many other hospitals should take inspiration from the Turkish hospital model
The quality of the hospital service is second to none, with well-organised, highly competent services that are always available to patients. Whether it's the doctors, nurses or reception staff, many other hospitals should take inspiration from the Turkish hospital model. The hospitals are like luxury hotels, you feel good, you are looked after and followed throughout your stay. Finally, the money I spent there was really justified. Thank you to everyone who looked after me during my 14-day stay. Of course I recommend Istanbul Memorial Hospital. Antonio. M

Some colleagues have already asked for recommendations and I was happy to give them
This is the first time I went to another country to have surgery and, for the first time, I went to Turkey. So I was very nervous. But from the preparation to the arrival by chat, to the arrangements on the spot: airport transfer, hotel, travelling to the dressing, I was fully under the care of the clinic staff. I knew what the next step was, what time it would be, when to take what medication, how the operation would go, etc. I knew everything. I was carefully guided through these few days, as if by the hand. The hotel where I was accommodated also took my needs into account: I had to work and the clinic staff booked a room with a desk, which was very important for my comfort during work. The clinic staff were helpful, professional, communicative and friendly. When I left, I tried to find anything that could have been improved and I realised that it would be very difficult to make a complaint - everything was done to the best of my ability. Some colleagues have already asked for recommendations and I was happy to give them.
About Bookimed service
Everything was very clear: I asked a question and input on the desired countries - we were looking at Poland and Turkey. I received several offers, with a clear description of what was included in the offer. I chose the right offer and used it. In my opinion, it couldn't be more perfect.

Coordinator Olha was very patient with my questions and requests, over a long period of time, as I was very apprehensive about booking. We eventually agreed upon a clinic which suited me and my needs. Everything went smoothly until the morning of my procedure, when I was told by the doctor that they could not perform the procedure due to the fact that I was taking Asprin. This information was given to Olha, who in turn was to ask the clinic. I was informed that the clinic agreed to proceed even though I was taking Asprin, I was happy with this as other clinics would not. This was nearly a completely wasted trip for my wife and myself. I had to sign a waiver at the clinic to proceed, which I did, and everything went fine. Better communication between Bookimed and Clinic is a must. The hotel that was organised for our stay was very adequate, but definitely needs better soundproofing. Staff and location was great.

The wife is smart
My wife made a surprise - a trip to Turkey and a hair transplant. I found out about this within a few hours. I liked the clinic. We met at the airport. True, there was a tire puncture and we sold it in about 40 minutes. We were given 5 stars. Quite good with a good breakfast. It is not located in the very center, but getting there by taxi is no problem. About 20 minutes. The transplant took about 6 hours. First, they take blood for analysis. AIDS and all that. Then they shave. Next, a lot of anesthesia is injected into the donor area. 30 injections. More unpleasant than painful. Then they begin to shave and pull out the follicles. They said they took 4500. I didn’t count. Next, about 30 injections into the transplant area. Well, they start planting follicles like mushrooms. It feels like you're piercing cardboard with a pen. No pain. Between procedures they provide excellent food. Then bandage and go home. This is the most unpleasant and painful topic an hour before the end. The painkillers began to wear off and this was much worse than the injections themselves. But everything is tolerable. Childbirth is probably more painful. I liked everything except the woman doctor. She addressed me not as a patient, but as a bad boss addressing a subordinate. Always twice, but that was enough for me. "Mister, stand up!" the tone of the German officer is not exactly what I would like to hear. But the translator Olga worked 200%. She still supervises me and is always in touch. The director is a great guy. By the way, the assistant is also great. I recommend the clinic. The wife is smart. A good choice and most importantly, they didn’t try to bully me about the need for two trips for an amount many times more than I paid. I will see the result only in a year. In the meantime, only 12 days have passed. And, for the first time, it will be very difficult to sleep on your back. It's not a dream. You need to make sure you don’t scratch your head, lie down on it, and so on. But it's worth it. Good luck.

Thank you very much to her for her timely and quick help throughout the entire period
Everything went quite well....first of all, of course, thanks to the girl Natalia Bruyaka, who was always in touch and helped solve all the questions that I had along the way...Thank you very much to her for her timely and quick help on throughout the entire period... Everything was organized well... we were met at the airport, a VIP transfer, a black Mercedes, the driver, unfortunately, I don’t remember his name - a great guy, just an ace, took him to the hotel... Everything in the hotel super, 5 stars, good finishing, excellent staff, we were accommodated on the 8th floor, with a beautiful view of the city.... The next day we arrived at the clinic... They paid there, and without delay, they invited us to the operating room... The team is excellent , young guys and girls, cheerful and relaxed, (they even sang songs during the transplant)... the transplant went quite quickly, they got it done in 5 hours, because the people know their stuff, they are all true professionals, both the doctor and the guy, who drew the hair line, and the girls who were assistants....Everything is at the highest level..The transplant itself is painless, only at the very beginning, when the painkiller was administered, it was a little painful, but it lasted about 10 minutes.. In general, I am satisfied with the transplant itself , I hope that the result will not be good, we’ll see in a year.. Then we were taken back to the hotel, and I spent that day in the room, did not go anywhere.... The next day I had a rest day, and the hotel staff organized a tour for us to the historical center of Istanbul... We had a great time there, and a day later they took me back to the clinic, showed me and washed my hair, and the ace driver took us to the airport... Bottom line: without much strain, I had a hair transplant and my wife and I had a great time in Istanbul, trying different dishes, making excursions and having the opportunity to shop... Thank you very much to those people who organize such tours and carry out such work... I am very grateful to them...

Thanks to those people who created such a platform of help...

All You Need to Know about FUT Hair Transplant in Turkey

How much is a FUT hair transplant in Turkey?

The cost of a FUT hair transplant in Turkey ranges from $1,000 to $2,250, depending on the number of grafts needed and the clinic chosen. This price typically includes consultation, medications, accommodation, and airport transfers, making it significantly more affordable than procedures in the USA ($6,000+) or UK ($3,100+).

How much do 5000 grafts cost in Turkey?

The cost of a 5000 graft hair transplant in Turkey ranges between $2,000 and $4,000 in 2025. However, most FUT procedures typically harvest 2,000-4,000 grafts per session, as 5,000 grafts may require multiple sessions or alternative techniques like FUE.

Is Turkey trustworthy for hair transplant?

Turkey has reputable, highly skilled surgeons and advanced medical facilities. However, the patient is responsible for thoroughly researching their chosen clinic and surgeon, as quality can vary significantly. It's essential to verify clinic accreditation, surgeon credentials, and patient reviews before proceeding.

How long do you have to stay in Turkey after a hair transplant?

Most patients need to stay in Turkey for 7-10 days, allowing time for a pre-operative consultation, the FUT procedure, and post-operative follow-up. Some clinics offer packages with shorter stays of 3-5 days for uncomplicated cases.

What is the success rate of FUT hair transplant?

FUT procedures can deliver a success rate of 95-98% for graft survival when performed by experienced surgeons. The procedure offers permanent results with natural-looking hair growth typically visible within 8-12 months post-surgery.

Is FUT better than FUE?

FUT can provide a higher graft count in one session (up to 4,000 grafts) and may be more cost-effective for extensive restoration. However, FUE offers advantages such as minimal scarring and quicker recovery. FUT leaves a linear scar but doesn't require donor area shaving.

How many grafts can be extracted from FUT?

When the extent of baldness is large, FUT technique can provide 3,000-4,000 grafts in a single session. This makes it preferred for Norwood grade IV or V cases requiring extensive coverage, compared to FUE which typically retrieves 2,000-2,500 grafts per session.

Which city in Turkey has the best hair transplant?

Istanbul is at the forefront of hair transplant surgery, offering the highest concentration of experienced surgeons, advanced clinics, and medical tourism infrastructure. The city hosts most of Turkey's leading hair transplant facilities.

Is FUT more painful than FUE?

Yes, the FUT method is generally more painful than FUE due to the surgical removal of a scalp strip and suturing process. FUT also involves a longer recovery period of 10-14 days, though it doesn't require donor area shaving like FUE.

Why is Turkey so cheap for hair transplant?

The costs are lower because overall medical and business costs tend to be lower in Turkey compared to Western countries. This allows clinics to maintain attractive and competitive prices while still providing high-quality procedures and comprehensive packages for international patients.
