I am very satisfied with the clinic. I flew from Estonia to Istanbul in the evening, I was met at the airport, then sent to the hotel. In the morning after breakfast I went to the clinic. The guys are professionals in their field, they did everything step by step, consulted, discussed the details, carried out the procedures and made a transplant in 6 hours! Everything is very fast and high quality. The doctors are all sociable, sweet, kind, if I had questions, they quickly solved them. I advise everyone! Клиникой очень доволен. Я прилетел из Эстонии в Стамбул вечером, меня встретили в аэропорту, потом отправили в отель. Утром после завтрака я поехала в клинику. Ребята профессионалы своего дела, все сделали пошагово, проконсультировали, обсудили детали, провели процедуры и сделали пересадку за 6 часов! Все очень быстро и качественно. Врачи все общительные, милые, добрые, если у меня были вопросы, то быстро их решали. Всем советую!

What is hair transplant?
Hair transplant is a surgical procedure when a hair technician removes hair follicles from one part of the body (called “donor area”) to the balding one (called “recipient area”). The follicles are put into the hairless skin, survive, and then start growing by usual manner. In such a way, the hair can be transplanted to the head, chest, beard, mustache, eyebrows, eyelashes.
Who benefits a hair transplant?
The indispensable condition to perform hair transplant is having enough healthy hair follicles in a donor site. The good candidates for hair transplant are:
- 25-65 aged men who have male pattern baldness (when the top and front sites of the scalp are affected);
- men who intend to transplant some hair to achieve more youthful appearance;
- men and women whose hair has been lost because of traumas, burns, cosmetic procedures.
People with diffuse hair loss can expect unsatisfactory results after a hair transplant.
What is preoperative preparation for hair transplant?
Before hair transplant in Turkey, a patient gets a consultation with a doctor, undergoes lab tests that include blood and urine analysis. If there are no contraindications, a hair transplant is assigned the next day.
Just before an operation, a patient washes the head with a special shampoo.
Local anesthesia is used to make a hair transplant comfortable and painless for a patient. Then, a doctor trims a donor area to a 2-4 mm length. After that, the operation starts.
What is the hair transplant process?
The most popular hair transplant type is FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction). It consists of the following steps:
- The donor area is anesthetized.
- A doctor extracts the hair follicles to form grafts (a bunch of 3-4 follicles).
- When the grafting process is over, the scalp is covered with a gauze.
- The received grafts are placed into a special solution to maintain their quality.
- Then, the grafts are inserted into the hairless area one by one.
The whole procedure takes 6-8 hours. If the baldness is advanced, one more hair transplant procedure may be required.
What rules should I follow during postoperative rehabilitation?
To achieve a satisfactory result, you should follow your doctor’s advice during the postoperative period. Among the most common instructions are the following ones:
- In the next 3-4 days you should avoid washing the head.
- When you visit your doctor the next time after the procedure, ask him/her how to wash your head properly.
- During 5-7 days after the procedure, you must sleep on the special medical pillows.
- To avoid bleeding and falling out of grafts, it is necessary to avoid physical activities, exercise, smoking, drinking alcohol, taking some medications during up to 10 days after hair transplant.
- A doctor can also prescribe you some painkillers to take during several days after the procedure.
- At least 3 months you need to avoid swimming in a pool or the sea.
All the recommendations concerning the postoperative period must be discussed with your doctor.
What results can I expect after hair transplant?
Just after hair transplant no visible result you will see. It takes some time and your patience to estimate the final outcome.
The first new hair you will observe in 6-8 months after the procedure. The final outcome you will see in 12 months — instead of the bald area, you will see new natural-looking dense hair.
What are the risks of hair transplant?
Although hair transplant is considered a low-risk operation, it is still a surgery that can cause some side effects:
- scarring (in case of FUE hair transplant, the scars may be absent or hardly visible)
- inflammation (disappears in several days)
- infections (can be easily avoided if you choose a qualified doctor and certified clinic for a procedure)
- pain and itching (are frequent side effects but disappear soon; some medications can be used to relieve symptoms)
- bleeding
- losing sensation in the area of intervention (the sensation will recover over time).
If you experience any of the side effects or feel worse, contact your doctor and discuss the medical issue.
What areas are intended for hair transplant?
Hair plant can be performed to restore/improve the hair growth in the following areas:
- head
- beard
- mustache
- eyebrows
- eyelashes.

I was not warned that the test for hepatitis C and HIV should be taken in advance. The clinic does not check PCR, they only do a test. And if there are antibodies to hepatitis cured, you are considered contagious in them, which means that this is a different price and other doctors. I did not get what I expected for the price and did not receive the staff I expected either. Меня не предупредили о том, что анализ на гепатит с и вич нужно сдать заранее. В клинике не проверяют пцр а делают только тест. И если есть антитела к гепатиту вылеченному ты считаешься у них заразным, а значит это другая цена и другие доктора. Я не получила того чего чего ожидала по цене и того персонала которого ожидала тоже не получила.
I don't know why the clinic has such a high rating here. They can’t even provide a normal hotel (probably something cheaper). Booked on the outskirts of the city in a bedbug. I have never seen such a dirty hotel with old furniture. The clinic itself also wanted to be cleaner. We agreed initially that Madame Sophie would be present at the operation. I asked a couple of times
Я не знаю за что у клиники такой большой тут рейтинг. Они даже нормальный отель предоставить не могут ( наверное то что по дешевле) . Бронируют на отшибе города в клоповнике. Я такого грязного со старыми мебелями отеля ещё не видел. Сама клиника тоже желала быть чище. Мы договорились изначально что мадам софи будет присутствовать на операции. Я спрашивал пару раз, и мня заверили на 100 %. Но она не изволила прийти( была где то на показе мод как потом я узнал) В результате кривая линия волос ( ее рисовали возле окна и без особого освещения), донорская зона убитая, видные сильно проплешины и по прошествии 8 месяцев ничего не изменилось. Мне кажется там « врачи» гастролеры и клиника грязная, ходят в обычной одежде и обуви, не используются стерильные перчатки и много чего, что должно было быть в нормальной клинике! У них даже сайта нормального нету, потому что там могут люди отзывы писать, и я уверен не очень хорошие.
И вообще Bookimed не несет никакой ответственности за то что они рекомендуют. Я думал через них будет как-то надежнее но оказалось не так. Одно разочарование от не профессионализма и лжи.
Despite the preliminary written and oral instructions, the clinic staff completely ignored the recommendations and, as a result, took almost 2 times more grafts than indicated. Thus, they simply destroyed my donor zone, left a bald spot that cannot be hidden by anything. Besides, it didn’t even make any sense, there was simply no need to transplant so much. Moreover, for some reason they planted places where there was already hair (from the previous transplant), while practically not touching the empty places. The hairline, despite the specific written and agreed wishes, was made as unnatural as possible by transplanting grafts with 3-4 hairs. In my opinion, in all aspects, the result of the "work" of this clinic looks simply sad. I think these people should be banned from working.
Несмотря на предварительные письменные и устные инструкции, персонал клиники полностью проигнорировал рекомендации и в итоге забрал почти в 2 раза больше графтов, чем было обозначено.
Тем самым, они просто уничтожили мою донорскую зону, оставили плешь, которую невозможно будет ничем скрыть. Кроме того, в этом даже не было никакого смысла, так много пересаживать просто было не надо.
Более того, зачем-то засадили места, где и так были волосы (от предыдущей пересадки), при этом практически не тронув пустые места.
Линию волос, несмотря на конкретные письменные и согласованные пожелания, сделали максимально неестественной, пересадив графты с 3-4 волосами.
На мой взгляд, о всех аспектах результат "работы" данной клиники выглядит просто печально. Я считаю, что этим людям должны запретить работать.
Overall, i would say it was a bad experience. I was in pain and discomfort for most of the procedure and the team didn’t care. The facilities were not hygienic. I wish i would have said no when i arrived and saw the state of the clinic. I still don't know if the transplant itself eas successful. Time will tell.
Good afternoon, There is one very negative memory left - it took a very long time to choose a clinic and a doctor who will perform the operation. As a result, we stopped at a certain doctor, asked several times whether he would exactly do it and whether this doctor would change - we were convinced that nothing would change and this is 100%. As a result, having arrived at the clinic at the appointed time and on the appointed date, we They simply confront the fact that another doctor will perform the operation, and the doctor whom we have chosen will perform the operation in the next office for some Turk, like there is an important client and he is a priority. Just imagine the situation, I came to Turkey for an operation on purpose and there is nowhere to go. Moreover, they could have said about it before, but they waited until 5 minutes before the operation. In general, the whole operation then sat and thought and worried about this, the result is not yet clear.
Добрый день,
Осталось одно очень негативное воспоминание- очень долго выбирали клинику и врача который будет делать операцию . В результате остановились на определенном враче, переспросили несколько раз точно ли он будет делать и не поменяется ли этот врач - нас убедили в том , что ничего не поменяется и это 100%
В результате, приехав в клинику в назначенное время и в назначенное дату , нас просто ставят перед фактом , что будет операцию делать другой врач, а тот врач , которого мы выбрали будет делать операцию в соседнем кабинете какому то турку , типа там важный клиент и он в приоритете. Вот и представьте ситуация, специально приехал в Турцию на операцию и деваться уже некуда .
Причем сказать они могли ведь и раньше об этом , а они дождались когда уже за 5 минут до операции . Вообщем всю операцию потом сидел и думал и переживал по этому поводу, результат пока непонятен .
I would highly recommend Saluss to anyone I was looked after very well from start to finish 👍

Hi, ich hatte eine Bruststraffung mit Implantaten und möchte meine Erfahrungen gerne teilen. Ich wurde vom Flughafen abgeholt und ins Hotel gefahren, was super geklappt hat!Da ich erst am nächsten Tag den Op Termin hatte, habe ich die erste Nacht im Hotel geschlafen und wurde dann morgens von meiner Dolmetscherin Nevin abgeholt und in die Klinik gebracht die wirklich nur zwei Minuten zu Fuß entfernt war! Dort angekommen wartete mein Op Arzt Dr. Ergin Er schon auf mich um die Op endgültig nach meinen Wünschen vorzuplanen ich fühlt mich sehr gut aufgehoben! Seine Art beruhigt einen also mich hat sie beruhigt. Alles abgesprochen ging es weiter zur Blutabnahme die Ärztin für die Narkose stellte mir einige Fragen ob ich Medikamente nehme oder an Krankheiten leite etc. halbe Stunde später war ich schon in der Op. 3 Stunden war ich in Narkose die üblichen Dinge die sich kaum vermeiden lassen zb Übelkeit oder schmerzen nach der Narkose sind auch mir passiert aber dem sollte man sich im Klaren sein wenn man plant eine Operation zu machen! Genauso wie man nicht kalt kochen kann kann man auch schmerzen nach einer Operation nicht vermeiden, lindern durch schmerztabletten. Man bekommt Antibiotika und Schmerzmittel. Ein Tag später konnte ich im Hotel schon schlafen und zwei Tage später wurden die drainagen gezogen (unangenehm aber auszuhalten, müssen sowieso raus). Das Hotel sehr schön sauber riecht so lecker irgendwie und die Hotelfachangestellten super nett und zuvorkommend. Sie wissen das man eine Operation hatte und sind sehr hilfsbereit. Essen top! Man geht dann ab und zu so wie es der Dr. veranlasst zu Kontrolle ansonsten you need to rest und am letzten (7.) Tag geht man zum verbandwechsel und wird dann zum Flughafen von den zuständigen gestellten Taxen gebracht auch nette Leute sehr hilfsbereit! Ich habe nichts negatives zu sagen weil nichts vorgefallen ist was mich verärgert oder enttäuscht hat! Wer sich hier behandeln lassen möchte macht alles richtig 👍 ich bin sehr zufrieden und froh das ich durch bin 😁 An die Raucher man soll nicht rauchen ja, aber wer raucht sollte sich vorher um Zigaretten kümmern es gibt keine Automaten oder Zigaretten zu kaufen in der Nähe! Ciao 👋
will not say that so much the administrative staff is not so good, more arrogant , see interact with the beauty of people only more speak, and therefore cancel the operation,

FAQ about Hair transplant in Turkey
A hair transplant is getting a common procedure for a lot of men and women. About 650,000+ people have this hair operation every year. And despite such great popularity, almost everyone has some fears and questions before hair transplant surgery: how the process goes, what to do after the procedure, how the post op recovery looks like, when the result will be visible, etc.
Before having a hair transplant in Turkey, patients study real patient experience, search for reviews, before and after photos. It helps to find answers to many questions, allay the fears, and exactly know what to be prepared for after hair transplant procedure. Also, reviews often become a key factor in picking a hair transplant clinic in Turkey or elsewhere.
On this page, you will find answers for the most frequently asked questions and verified reviews of patients who have experienced hair transplants in Turkey. After checking them, you can select the most proper hair medical center according to your preferences concerning hair transplant quality, prices, customer service level, doctor’s experience.
How Long Should I Wait to See Hair Transplant Results?
When you read reviews and look at photos of patients after a FUE hair transplant, DHI or FUT ones, their results may impress you. You start imaging like you leave a hair transplant clinic in Turkey after intervention with thick and dense hair. However, the reality a bit differs. Be ready that the first results will be visible no earlier than in 3 or 4 months. The deal is that a hair growth cycle is 3 months. A hair is getting denser gradually, so it takes about 9-12 months to see the final outcome. And only then you can model any hairstyle you wish.
So, it means that almost all photos and reviews shown on this website were published several months later after a FUE hair transplant in Turkey. It takes some time to achieve the perfect look, but it is worth making efforts.
How Long the Hair Transplant Results Will Last?
A hair transplant is the only option that provides a permanent result allowing patients to solve their hair loss issues forever. Some hair transplant clinics in Turkey give a lifetime warranty (for instance, Smile Hair Clinic in Istanbul) to ensure patients a long-lasting result. The numerous hair transplant reviews demonstrate the high quality of the procedure.
To predict a FUE hair transplant effectiveness, a patient needs to certainly know the reason for hair loss and features of the follicle’s (a hair root) structure. There are 2 types of hair follicles on the head. The first follicular type is located in the frontoparietal area (where hairs fall out) and are influenced by testosterone male hormone. While the second follicular type is located on the nape, and testosterone has no influence on follicles growing here. During performance of a hair transplant in Turkey, a doctor takes follicles from the nape and puts them in the frontoparietal area. This is a main principle of a hair transplant in the Turkish clinics: as far as these transplanted follicles cannot be influenced by testosterone, they continue growing and do not fall out.
So, if the cause of your hair loss is hormonal issues, a FUE hair transplant shows an incredible outcome in this case. The effectiveness of hair transplant reaches 95-98% with numerous positive patients’ reviews and photos as a confirmation.
What Should I Expect From a Hair Transplant?
After checking patients’ hair transplant reviews, you can estimate a realistic outcome after a hair transplant procedure in Turkey. Also, you will obtain a complete overview of hair transplant clinics where the procedure takes place: a level of comfort, how the wards are equipped, who are highly recommended doctors, how the Bookimed team assists patients through the whole hair transplants trip. A detailed examination of reviews will allow you to pick a proper hair transplant clinic and a surgeon. We highly recommend checking whether hair transplant reviews are real to rey a high quality procedure in the end.
However, you also need to know what happens just after surgery and what to expect when a hair transplant in Turkey is over:
- A hair technician puts a dressing on the donor area and around your forehead to avoid swelling. You can feel itching and a little pain.
- On the 3rd day, a nurse or a doctor will show how to wash your head. You have to follow the recommendation for 15 days.
- In 5-7 days, you can notice that transplanted follicles fall out, it will continue for 2-3 months. It is a normal process, a new hair will start growing in 3 months.
- On the 15-30th day you will look in a usual way, no one will not notice that you have had a hair transplant.
Patients are looking forward to the first FUE hair transplant result. In half of a year, you will observe a desired hair transplant result. During the period from 6 to 12 months, you can take some photos of new hair. We would recommend sharing your story helping other people to make the right decision about a hair transplant clinic and a doctor. Publish a hair transplant review you have experienced in Turkey on the Bookimed website to share your experience and describe all pros and cons of the procedure. Your review may become helpful for thousands of people demonstrating how you have gotten rid of hair loss issues or just made your hair denser.
What is the main predominance of hair transplant in Turkey over other countries?
The most significant preeminence of hair planting in Turkey is cost-effectiveness. The country is among the most affordable globally due to the average price policy within the state and cost regulation by the local Ministry of Health as well.

Why are hair transplants in the UK and US more expensive than in Turkey?
Hair transplantation in the United Kingdom and the United States is 70% more expensive than in Turkey. There are some reasons for that:
According to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) research regarding the cost of health services worldwide, Turkey is among the countries with the lowest score and has an index of 41 out of 100. The EU has an average — 91, and the US has a high index — 115. Switzerland is the country with the highest value — 115.
Turkey is known for its high-quality hair transplant services: professionals perform operations at favorable prices. A hair transplant operation in Turkey costs from 2 thousand dollars, and in England or the United States, the price can increase 10 times — up to 25 thousand dollars.
Hair graft calculator
The main criterion for measuring the degree of alopecia (hair loss) and determining the number of grafts needed is the Hamilton-Norwood scale:
You can also compare your situation with the scale. The Hamilton-Norwood scale will help you visually determine the degree of baldness and count the number of grafts you need for the procedure.
If you still have doubts, it makes sense to take a photo of the head and send it to a specialist who will tell you the exact number of grafts and calculate the price.
How many hair grafts do I need?
The number of transplanted grafts is determined by a specialist individually for each patient taking into account
- the degree of the affected area
- the condition of the donor area (the presence of a sufficient amount of hair)
- structure
- hair color
- the desire of the patient.

How does a hair transplant work?
A hair transplant specialist extracts hair microbunches (grafts) — manually or mechanically. Grafts have a common blood supply channel and a common sebaceous gland which leads to successful implantation.
According to the chosen method, the surgery takes up to 8 hours.
The FUE method happens to be a special micro-instrument, a special microtubule with a diameter of only 0.5-0.8 mm, which collects follicles. The follicles are transplanted with a micropunch, which forms microchannels to form the transplant planting depth, the angle of inclination and hair growth. Grafts are implanted into the recipient area in a checkerboard pattern.
The operation is performed under local anesthesia.
The result will be visible in 3-4 months, when the hair follicles take root, the transplanted hairs fall out, and new, healthy ones begin to grow in their place.
The success rate depends on the specialists and reaches up to 99%. Find more about the best clinics herehttps://us-uk.bookimed.com/article/hair-transplant-from-a-to-z-costs-risks-and-success-rates/
What is the best method for hair implants in the country?
The most popular methods of the locks planting are FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation) and FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction). Both approaches are effective and help achieve successful outcomes.
Except for these techniques, the best hair clinics in Turkey apply more modern methods such as DHI, Saphir hair implant, and stem cell treatments. However, only a doctor can select the most efficient technique in your particular case.
FUE hair transplant in Turkey
The vast experience of surgeons is the main advantage of hair transplantation in Turkey — 600 hair implant operations are performed in the country each day. Local doctors have 10-20 years of experience and guarantee the high quality of the procedure.
Most clinics for FUE hair placement are certified in accordance with the ISHRS (International Society for Hair Restoration Surgery) standards. This means that the procedure is conducted with advanced equipment and proven technologies.
Moreover, FUE hair transplant cost in Turkey is lower than in Europe or the USA up to 70%, even taking into account the flight. Many patients buy a tour during the operation, which includes tickets for a charter flight, transfer to the hotel, and accommodation.
DHI hair transplant in Turkey
A hair transplant is one of the most popular procedures performed in Turkey. Surgeons here perform 600 hair replacements each day. Most of the patients are from Israel, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and European countries.
The DHI hair plantation method is among the newest ones and is available in Turkish clinics. Plastic surgeons have 10+ years of experience and perform thousands of DHI operations that help achieve better results and avoid complications or side effects.
The price of a DHI hair transplant in Turkey depends mainly on the clinic and the surgeon’s experience. The cost starts at $1,550 and reaches $3,400.

The leading Turkish clinics for hair implants are located in Istanbul, Antalya, İzmir, and Bursa.
Most of them are located in Istanbul — the largest city in the country, which receives millions of visitors annually. This is the Turkish capital of medical tourism — 190 clinics receive guests from all over the world. Due to the massive flow of foreigners, most Istanbul doctors speak English. Nevertheless, each clinic provides a patient with language assistance and airport-clinic-airport transfer.
Antalya is also an attractive region for medical tourists. There are fewer specialized hair transplant centers here than in Istanbul, but this locality interests patients with beaches and thermal springs. This is an excellent opportunity to get hair implants in Turkey and relax after the treatment.

What is a good age to get a hair transplant?
According to ISHRS, men should think of hair transplant after 20 years. The specialists don't recommend it for those who are younger — the best time for them is to wait the right age and take medicines to slow the baldness process.
More older patients — men of 50+ years old — have also good results according to the data. Thus, it's no matter if a patient in his 20-ties, 50-ties, or 70-ties, he gets a successful hair transplant if he is a good candidate and requests a qualified specialist.
Do hair transplants last forever?
95%-99% of follicles take root. The result depends on the qualifications of the doctor and the patient's condition.
In a couple of weeks, some of the transplanted hair will fall out and it's a normal process. The main thing is that the follicles will remain.
Lots of experts in Turkey provide lifetime warranty for performed hair transplant. Ask the clinic in advance about it. Learn more about hair transplant in Turkey.
How long does it take for my new hair to grow?
Hair from the new follicles will start to grow on average in two months. At first they will be curly and naughty, but after a few haircuts they will be pretty the same as other hair.
The final result will appear in one year after the procedure. If the hair is not thick enough (normally 80-120 hairs grow per 1 sq. cm and doctors transplant up to 50 ones), the procedure can be repeated.
