  • Great service, great team and great results. Dr Melike is one of the best surgeons in the country. They are very good at back to you in a timely manner before and after the surgery. I had my first operation 2 years ago, but I need to do the 2nd round because I have lost my original hear over the time. I was as impressed as my visit there. Highly recommend Dr Melike.

Payment Information

Hair transplantation involves the transfer of healthy hair follicles from the donor area to the balding regions of the scalp. It's a meticulous surgical procedure requiring skilled professionals and a sterile environment to minimize risks.

The procedure typically lasts 6-8 hours under local anesthesia. Hair follicles are harvested from the donor area, channels are created for implantation, and follicles are transplanted individually. Pain during the procedure is minimal, and postoperative discomfort can be managed with prescribed medications.

Two primary methods, Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) and Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT), are widely used, with variations such as unshaven FUE and PRP-supported transplantation.

Success depends on proper follicle insertion, known as "holding," ensuring a natural appearance post-recovery. Candidates must meet specific criteria, including age and health status, to undergo the procedure. Patients with hair loss, including male and female pattern baldness, can benefit, as can those seeking scar coverage.

Finding the right practitionner for your hair transplant in turkey

 It is vitally important for candidates who are seeking an effective solution against hair loss to find a reliable and sterile center with an experienced doctor and team who will perform this operation with an accurate and up-to-date technique. Medical Director of Transmed Medical Center Melike Külahçı warns that, as our country has become a popular center for hair transplantation, people who do not have a medical diploma or event not to have sufficient knowledge and experience in hair transplantation identify themselves as “Hair Transplant Specialists”. The most important issue for the health of the candidates who are eager for hair transplantation is to find a doctor who follows modern medicine and who is dependent on his / her subject in a foreign language. Unfortunately, the people who are being brought to our country as “medical tourists” from the Arab world and deceived with cheaper prices are unfortunately suffering the most harm.

Possible Risks of Hair Transplantation 

Hair transplantation, like other medical operations, carries various risks.

Hair transplantation, which is a long-term intervention, may need to be performed several times in a period of 1-2 years, depending on the degree of baldness. Possible complications are failure to achieve the desired result, infection and significant scarring. Hair transplantation complications are minimized when performed by a specialist and experienced doctor in a hygienic clinic environment.

Garanty

The FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) technique involves the extraction of micro hair follicle bundles called follicular units from the scalp one by one and placing them into new locations. This method also allows the use of body hairs by extracting them.

One of the greatest advantages of the FUE technique is that it doesn't leave clear marks where the follicles are extracted. The recovery of the extraction sites typically takes 24 to 48 hours, allowing for the use of short hair.

Eligibility for FUE Technique

Before undergoing the FUE method, a detailed analysis is conducted to determine the suitability of the patient for hair transplantation. Non-genetic factors causing hair loss are examined through blood tests. If no systematic problem is found and the donor area has an adequate number of follicles, an appointment is scheduled.

Procedure Overview

On the day of the procedure, the donor area is shaved to facilitate follicle collection. Local anesthesia is then applied by the attending physician to ensure a pain-free experience. Follicles are collected and placed into refined incisions on the surface to be transplanted.
