Hair loss, or alopecia, is connected with discomfort. This is especially important for women. Female hair transplant is becoming an increasingly routine hair restoration procedure. It is known that the causes of hair loss are numerous, but this does not affect the choice of type of hair transplantation. However, today a reliable approach to handle this unpleasant condition is known – FUE hair transplant in Turkey. FUE hair transplant gives chance to forget about hair loss forever. In addition, Turkish hospitals offer reasonable prices for medical and related services.
The innovations in FUE hair transplant approach
FUE hair transplant is a manipulation that is carried out using microsurgery. When performing FUE hair transplant, donor hair is removed without wounds and subsequent scarring in the donor region. It is impossible to see that a man has undergone a hair transplant. FUE hair transplant can recover the scalp, including areas of scarring, alopecia following injury and burns, as well as restore eyelashes and beard.
So how is the FUE hair transplant performed? The FUE hair transplant is a sparing technique of the transplant hair.
The FUE hair transplant is carried out in three stages:
- The 1st stage of FUE hair transplant operation. A tubular cutter, which resembles a ballpoint pen, makes superficial cuts in the donor area, and then extracts separate follicular units by careful pulling. Each follicular unit consists of 1-3 (rarely 4-5) hair follicles. The donor area for the further FUE hair transplant is often occipital, parietal, and sometimes temporal area of the scalp.
Head is a sensitive body region. The place from where the donor hair (donor region for FUE hair transplant) is harvested and where it will be transplanted (recipient region of FUE hair transplant or the location of hair loss) may be anaesthetized. The place from where it is planned to harvest grafts (follicular units) is discussed with patients in advance.
- The 2nd stage of FUE hair transplant operation. It begins once the donor hair is harvested and a place for transplantation of follicular units is prepared. Scalpels with blade are used to make punches in the recipient area. Blade makes an incision and creates necessary angle of the hole, where the hair will be transplanted.
- The 3rd stage of FUE hair transplant operation. Harvested grafts are implanted considering the line and peculiarities of hair growth. If the bald area is extensive, then the doctor may recommend to undergo a second FUE hair transplant operation. If the bold area is not vast, then a hair transplant may be performed during one procedure. The hair may also be harvested from the chest and beard (alternative regions). FUE hair transplant surgery has zero risk of developing baldness in the donor region. All patients that undergo a hair transplant in Turkey have comprehensive preliminary consultations. A doctor assesses personally the density and quality of the hair in the donor regions. Punch allows doctors to harvest hair precisely. The whole FUE hair transplant process takes about 5 hours.
Arrangement of hair transplant in Turkey (FUT)
FUT hair transplant in Turkey ("strip" or "patchwork" technique of hair transplant) is the suitable option for patients with hair loss. Such patients have the lucky chance to restore lost hair with the help of hair transplant in Turkey.
FUT hair transplant in Turkey is preceded by thorough preparation. To stop the rapid proceeding of baldness, drug therapy is typically prescribed for six months before hair transplant in Turkey. Before the hair transplant, the drugs that increase the risk of bleeding are cancelled. A patient should also stop taking alcohol.
Before performing FUT hair transplant in Turkey you will also have a blood test:
- Hemoglobin levels and glucose
- Blood clotting
- Hepatitis B and C
If hair transplantation is performed in a woman, a doctor administers additional tests, including the level of ferritin, zinc, sex hormones and others.
Before FUT hair transplant in Turkey ECG is also performed. Research helps to make a decision about the possibility and type of anesthesia during hair transplant in Turkey.
Just before hair transplant in Turkey the hair in the donor region of the head is cut to a length of 1-2 mm. The hair transplant in Turkey is performed under local anesthesia. A skin strip of 10-25 cm is cut with a scalpel from the donor region. Under the microscope the strip is divided into individual hair grafts (pieces of skin with from 1 to 4 hair follicles). The wound in the donor region is sewed and in 4-12 weeks it will become invisible (the scar is located under the hair).
The following stage of hair transplant in Turkey is also carried out using a scalpel. A doctor makes the 2-2,5 mm holes in the recipient zone, in which the grafts are implanted. The length of the procedure of hair transplant in Turkey is determined by the volume of surgical intervention. It takes from 4 to 10 hours on average.
After the hair transplant in Turkey patients are not recommended to lift heavy objects and go in for active sports, as well as visit solarium or sauna during 3-6 weeks. Recommendations also depend on patient’s condition after hair transplant surgery.
The initial result of hair transplant in Turkey can be assessed in approximately six months after the procedure. In the FUT technique about 60% of the transplanted hair stay viable, density of up to 30-40 follicles per 1 sq cm (natural density is 80-120) is achieved. A patient may need repeated hair transplant in Turkey with FUE technique as FUT hair transplant approach may lead to the scars formation in the donor region.
FUT hair transplant in Turkey is still actively used. Firstly, FUT hair transplant in Turkey is cheaper than others. Anatomical peculiarities of a patient may make other, more sparing methods, not acceptable for him (this is determined during the initial consultation).

Today, Istanbul is considered the authoritative center of hair transplantation worldwide. People annually come to Turkey to fulfill their dream and restore hair. This did not happen by chance. Medical tourism is the priority area for the government of Turkey. Huge amounts of money are invested into it (according to the Medical Tourism Magazine, about $30 billion has been invested lately).

Myths about hair transplantation
Despite the availability of information, there are still some issues that we should clarify.
- To achieve good results, hair transplantation process should be performed in several stages. No, it is not. If the donor zone and the qualification of a surgeon allow, it is definitely better to implement the operation in one stage. The only exception is when the target area is so large that it requires transplanting more than four thousand grafts. It will be extremely difficult to close it during one intervention.
- The hair on the body differs in structure and color from the hair that grows on the scalp. If a doctor transplants the hair from a leg, the result will be poor. Accordingly, only the hair from the a head may be used.
- Hair transplantation can negatively affect brain function, e.g. cause dizziness and in some cases even lead to the stroke development. Deep tissues are not exposed to any influence during the procedure. You may not be afraid of negative consequences.
