Hair transplant

What is hair transplant surgery?

Hair transplantation involves removing hair-bearing follicles from a given donor area (typically the back and/or sides of the head) and relocating them to a thinning or balding area. 

If you are interested in hair transplant surgery and think it may be an option for you, you can rest assured that board-certified plastic/dermatological surgeons have been successfully doing this type of surgery for more than three decades, with major technical advances in recent years.  

The truth about hair loss

Baldness has often been blamed on several factors such as, poor blood circulation to the scalp, vitamin deficiencies, dandruff, and even excessive hat-wearing. Although there is some merit to these theories, in most cases, they have been disproven. Additionally, claims that hair loss can be determined by looking at your maternal grandfather, or that 40-year-old men who haven’t lost their hair will never lose it, have also been disproven. 

The primary causes of hair loss can be attributed to one or more of the following:

Hair Transplant Techniques Offered in Turkey

Turkey is renowned for its expertise in hair transplantation, offering a variety of advanced techniques tailored to individual needs. Below is an overview of the most popular methods available:

Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE)

  • Description: The most widely used hair transplant technique, FUE involves extracting individual hair follicles from the donor area (usually the back of the scalp) and implanting them into the recipient area.
  • Advantages: Minimally invasive, no visible scarring, and faster recovery time.
  • Best For: Individuals seeking natural-looking results with minimal downtime.

Direct Hair Implantation (DHI)

  • Description: A modified version of FUE that utilizes a specialized tool called a Choi pen to implant hair follicles directly into the scalp without creating incisions beforehand.
  • Advantages: Higher graft survival rate, precise control over the angle and depth of implantation, and faster recovery.
  • Best For: Those looking for a dense and natural hairline with minimal trauma.

Sapphire FUE

  • Description: A variation of traditional FUE that uses sapphire blades instead of metal ones to create incisions, reducing tissue damage and improving healing.
  • Advantages: Faster recovery, reduced scabbing, and more precise implantation.
  • Best For: Patients seeking high-precision transplants with improved healing.

Stem Cell Hair Transplant

  • Description: This technique integrates hair transplantation with stem cell therapy to stimulate hair regrowth and improve transplant success rates.
  • Advantages: Enhances graft survival, promotes natural hair growth, and reduces post-surgery shock loss.
  • Best For: Individuals experiencing early-stage hair loss or wanting additional hair thickening.

Robotic Hair Transplant

  • Description: Uses robotic assistance (such as the ARTAS system) to automate the FUE process, ensuring precise extractions and implantations.
  • Advantages: Increased accuracy, reduced human error, and shorter procedure time.
  • Best For: Patients looking for cutting-edge technology and precision.

Unshaven (U-FUE) Hair Transplant

  • Description: A variation of FUE that does not require shaving the donor area, making the procedure more discreet.
  • Advantages: No visible hair shaving, allowing patients to maintain their existing hairstyle.
  • Best For: Individuals who wish to keep their hair length intact post-surgery.

Long Hair FUE

  • Description: Involves transplanting long hair grafts instead of shaved ones, allowing patients to see immediate results.
  • Advantages: Instant visual transformation, no need to shave, and faster adaptation.
  • Best For: Those who want immediate results following surgery.

Body Hair Transplant (BHT)

  • Description: Uses hair follicles from body areas such as the chest, beard, or back when scalp donor hair is insufficient.
  • Advantages: Expands the donor supply, making the procedure suitable for those with severe hair loss.
  • Best For: Patients with limited scalp donor hair.

Synthetic Hair Implantation

  • Description: Involves implanting artificial hair fibers into the scalp to provide immediate density.
  • Advantages: Instant results, suitable for people with inadequate natural donor hair.
  • Best For: Individuals who are not candidates for natural hair transplants.

Hair transplant surgery risks and safety information

Hair transplant surgery is normally safe when performed under the supervision of a qualified board certified plastic and aesthetic surgeon/dermatological surgeon and an experienced nursing team. Still, individuals may vary greatly in their physical reactions and healing abilities, and the outcome is never completely predictable.  

As in any surgical procedure, infection, excessive bleeding and/or scarring may occur, however, these risks are almost non-existent if the post-surgical care instructions are diligently followed.
