Hair Transplant: Restore Your Hair and Confidence
Overview
A hair transplant is a surgical procedure designed to address hair loss and thinning by transplanting hair follicles from one part of the body (usually the back or sides of the scalp) to areas experiencing hair loss. This treatment provides a permanent solution to baldness and hair thinning, resulting in a fuller, natural-looking head of hair. Our expert surgeons in Turkey utilize the latest techniques to ensure optimal results and a high level of patient satisfaction.
Procedure Options
- Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE): Individual hair follicles are extracted from the donor area and transplanted to the balding or thinning areas. This technique leaves minimal scarring and has a shorter recovery time.
- Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT): A strip of scalp is removed from the donor area, and individual hair follicles are then dissected and transplanted. This method is suitable for patients requiring a larger number of grafts.
- Robotic Hair Transplant: Utilizes advanced robotic technology to assist in the extraction and transplantation of hair follicles, offering precision and consistency.
- Direct Hair Implantation (DHI): Similar to FUE, but uses a specialized tool to implant hair follicles directly into the scalp without creating recipient sites beforehand.
Benefits:
- Permanent solution to hair loss
- Natural-looking results
- Improved self-confidence and appearance
- Minimally invasive with quick recovery time
Risks:
- Scarring, which is minimal with FUE but more noticeable with FUT
- Infection or bleeding
- Temporary swelling or discomfort
- Unnatural-looking hair growth if not performed by a skilled surgeon
- Possible need for additional sessions for optimal results
Our expert surgeons in Turkey use advanced techniques to minimize risks and ensure the best possible outcomes for our patients.
Recovery and Aftercare
- Initial Recovery: Most patients can return to work within a few days to a week, but should avoid strenuous activities and direct sunlight on the scalp for at least two weeks.
- Pain Management: Mild pain, swelling, and redness are common after the procedure and can be managed with prescribed medications.
- Post-Surgery Care: Follow your surgeon’s instructions regarding hair washing, avoiding scratching or rubbing the scalp, and attending follow-up appointments to monitor hair growth and healing.
