What is Hair Transplant?
A Hair transplant consists of digging hair follicles from a rich body part (the back of the head) for implantation in a poorer part of the body. It’s for the purpose of treating baldness, but also for the densification of chest hair, beard hair, or eyelashes.
Hair Transplants are treatments performed under local anesthesia. Therefore, the patient is conscious during his/her intervention but the treated part is asleep. In the first place, the scalp is washed and then treated with an antibacterial agent before the hair is extracted. Naturally, the grafts grow in groups of 1 and 4 hairs, and therefore the advanced techniques consist of taking and then transplantating the follicular units according to these groups.

Techniques for a Successful Hair Transplant
|
Techniques |
Advantages |
Duration |
|
FUE (Follicular unit extraction ) |
The absence of evident scarring. This procedure is less invasive thanks to the use of a small punch. A little pain can be felt after the intervention. |
2 to 4 hours |
|
FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation) |
This technique is an excellent option for those who need multiple grafts. It is cheaper than FUE. The recovery time is shorter than other methods. |
4 to 12 hours |
|
DHI (Direct Hair Implantation) |
The application of the follicle is performed without shaving the receiving or donor area. No stitches are used in this technique. You can obtain more natural outcomes. |
8 Hours |
|
FUSS (Follicular Unit Strip Surgery) |
A greater quantity of hair bulbs can be taken. This technique is more suitable for vast alopecic areas. The possibility of damaging the micrografts during the subdivision phase is practically impossible. |
2 to 5 hours |
|
Sapphire FUE |
Less scarring appears on the scalp. No complications occur after the operation. A higher thickness of the grafted hair can be achieved due to this procedure. |
6 to 8 hours |
Why Should you Choose Turkey & Istanbul?
As an aesthetic procedure, hair graft is cheap in Turkey, it is generally supported only by the patient and not covered by insurance. In France, this costs approximately 4.000 Euros.
With Turquie Santé, we help our patients to pay the cheapest prices but not at the expense of quality thanks to our network of more than 20 clinics present in Izmir, Istanbul or Antalya.
What should be done before the Surgery?
A preoperative consultation is planned and a discussion with the surgeon will help define the patient’s wishes more precisely. Indeed, our doctors examine the capillary density of the crown and the texture of the hair. They will also make a capillaroscopy.
They will ask you about your expectations in terms of future hairstyle that will be necessary for the elaboration of your medical record.
The physician will clearly state what is and what is not feasible in order to achieve a reasonable and aesthetically successful strategy in the short, medium, and long term.
Recovery after the Intervention in Istanbul
Your scalp can be painful, and you may need to take medication after a hair transplant, such as:
-
A pain reliever.
-
Antibiotics to decrease your risk of infection.
-
Anti-inflammatory drugs to reduce swelling.
Most people can return to work several days after the hair transplant.
It is normal for transplanted hair to fall two to three weeks after surgery. This paves the way for new hair growth. Most people will see a certain amount of new hair growth 8 to 12 months after surgery.

Before the intervention, the hair of the donor area, that is where they are taken, will be shortened to a length of 2-3 mm along a horizontal strip delimited by the uncut hair, this will allow to hide the donor area with a normal hairstyle.
Before each session the patient will be monitored clinically and given a painkiller to minimize anxiety. The presence of an anesthetist is ensured throughout the procedure.
Then, the donor area will be anesthetized by the surgeon with local anesthesia. This phase will be repeated also for the receiving area.
In fact, FUT requires a great experience, a well-trained surgical team, and suitable environments.
All surgeries- including hair graft- have risks and complications. Those who decide to operate without being aware of the risks and complications of the surgery do not make a mature and conscious choice.
Hair transplantation techniques have evolved greatly in recent decades and complications are significantly reduced. In the past, the technique was very invasive and traumatic and therefore the probability that some risk occurred was high. Today, many complications have even disappeared as a result of the implementation of less invasive techniques.
Therefore, we will outline the risks of hair transplantation in general.
Risk of infection
The infection is a relatively common complication in surgery but with an extremely low probability in hair graft with a single follicular unit extraction. The probability of this complication rises substantially with the FUT technique. It is obvious that it will be necessary to ensure the sterility of surgical instruments, the operating room, and the surgeon/ staff in order to manage this risk. This complication was never detected in our hospitals or clinics in Turkey and Istanbul.
Excessive bleeding
Excessive bleeding can make the hair transplant problematic. On one hand, if excessive bleeding occurs during the collection of follicular units, the ability to extract the follicles in an integral manner is reduced. On the other hand, if excessive bleeding occurs during the implantation of the follicular units, this would result in a difficult positioning and maintenance of the implanted hair. To prevent this complication completely, we employ local anesthesia in order to reduce the blood supply in the operating field for a few hours.
Hair graft is classified as a minimally invasive surgery. Since hair removal is performed under local anesthesia, patients will not feel any kind of pain. Local anesthesia has a long-lasting effect. Consequently, the operated area remains numb for several hours after the operation. During the healing phase, you will feel a very slight pain which will disappear completely in a few days.
Turquie Santé has always been proud to provide high quality and personalized services that ensure the best results for patients. Our team has extensive experience in hair transplantation and is skilled at working with a wide variety of hair types.
One of the team’s most important areas of specialization is to work on African hair, which is something that distinguishes Turquie Santé from other hair transplant clinics in Turkey and Istanbul. African hair may require extra care and attention, but in experienced hands the results can be quite amazing.
Hair transplantation is not always the definitive solution to the problem. In fact, it should be considered that the aesthetic aspect depends not only on the hair transplanted, but also on the original ones that remain. Over time, the latter may become thin due to the aggravation of alopecia. Although the surgery is successful, the results can decrease because of the progressive spread of baldness to the areas surrounding the transplant.
