Hair Transplants: Procedure, Candidates, Expected Results

scar hair transplant

Hair transplantation is a contemporary technique for replenishing hair thickness and baldness lost due to age-related, genetic, or physiological changes. The demand for this procedure is steadily rising, driven by its clear advantages: a 99% survival rate, as only the patient’s own hair is utilized, and long-lasting results that rejuvenate and instill self-confidence in men. Notably, affordability and high quality characterize hair transplantation in Turkey as a third compelling factor.

However, it’s crucial to note that hair transplantation isn’t a magical solution, and its feasibility is directly linked to the quality of the patient’s donor area. During the procedure, grafts are extracted from the back of the head, ensuring that only 25-30% of the donor area is utilized to leave the back of the head without bald spots. In cases where the bald area is extensive, and the donor area is insufficient, multiple sessions of hair transplantation may be necessary, or additional grafts may need to be extracted from the beard, although these can only be transplanted to the crown area due to differences in structure and rigidity compared to scalp hair.

The hair transplant occurs within a single day, encompassing three stages over a total duration of 6–8 hours: grafts removal, canal opening, and planting. Anesthesia is administered to the donor and transplantation areas before the operation to minimize discomfort and pain. Post-surgery, patients often experience little to no discomfort and typically resume their regular activities within 10–14 days. Following the procedure, specific care restrictions apply, with the doctor providing detailed recommendations for postoperative care.
