Hair Transplant Turkey

What Is a Hair Transplant?

A hair transplant is regarded as an important factor in the aesthetic appearance of both women and men. Whether hair is thick or thin plays an important role in a person's self-confidence.

Healthy, vibrant hair in particular supports the desire to be found attractive. For this reason, people who experience hair loss may face unwanted consequences such as psychological problems and loss of self-confidence.

All our patients who come to our clinic for a hair transplant in Turkey overcome these problems and regain thick, healthy hair.

The natural and permanent solution that eliminates baldness is called a hair transplant. It involves transplanting hair, in what can be considered a microsurgical procedure, to areas where the hair follicles are no longer active and that are becoming bald.

Whatever the cause, it is the most practical and permanent way to regain lost hair and the surgical operation most preferred by doctors and patients. Applied for many years as the permanent solution to baldness, hair transplantation in Turkey is performed successfully at our clinic.

What Is a Hair Follicle?

This is a term heard very often before a hair transplant. The hair follicle is the base of the hair, embedded in the fatty tissue of the scalp and surrounded by the cells that produce hair.

A graft is the unit containing the follicles that is removed from the scalp to be transplanted. Each graft contains at least 1 and at most 4 hair follicles. Before the operation, grafts are collected from the donor area and prepared for the recipient area. The doctor determines how many grafts are needed and collects them accordingly; the number differs from person to person.

When harvesting follicles, the back of the head – the best donor area – is generally preferred. The grafts collected differ in number of follicles, shape and size, and are implanted in the most suitable way.

What Is Hair Structure and What Types Are There?

Hair structure varies from person to person. Looking at the structure of the hair, we see that it consists of 5 components: hair, muscle, skin, root sheath and gland.

The scalp consists of 5 layers:

• Skin
• The layer beneath the skin (subcutaneous tissue)
• Supporting layer (aponeurosis)
• Loose connective tissue
• Pericranium (outer covering of the skull)

The scalp varies in thickness: it is thicker at the back of the head and thinner at the front, ranging from 3 to 8 mm depending on the area. The inner layer of the scalp contains sebaceous glands, hair follicles and sweat glands.

The important lower layer of the scalp contains a lot of fatty tissue. Rich in fibrous septa, it gives the scalp its strength. The nerves and large blood vessels of the scalp also lie in the lower part of this fatty tissue.

Beneath the fatty layer of the scalp lie muscle and the tough layer that continues from it.

The fourth layer is loose and separates easily from the other layers.

Hair is made of the protein keratin, which has a fibrous structure because of the amino acids on its surface. The bonds and arrangement of the amino acids in the hair shaft determine whether hair is curly or straight.

A hair shaft consists of 3 layers

The inner layer (medulla) is found in thick hairs.

The middle layer (cortex) gives the hair its strength and colour.

The outer layer (cuticle) is a thin, colourless layer that protects the middle layer of the hair.

Age and gender are not limiting factors; the procedures for women and men are almost the same.

How Is a Hair Transplant Performed?

First, hair follicles are taken from the back of the head and then implanted into the targeted bald area using the chosen method. The duration depends on the amount of hair loss; if the bald area is large, several sessions may be needed.

Local anaesthesia is usually used during the operation. A special bandage is applied to the patient's head, and the patient is discharged 1–2 hours later.

As long as hair care is observed, the procedure can be performed whenever the patient feels ready.

What Is the Age Limit?

For people without health problems, doctors generally recommend an age range of 25–40.

To achieve the most natural result, all tests should be done and factors such as hormonal disorders taken into account. It is known that the chance of success decreases with age as the follicles weaken, so having it done at the recommended age allows the best result.

How Long Does It Take?

Although it varies from person to person, the procedure takes on average 3 to 5 hours. If the patient does not want others to know about the hair transplant, about 15 days are needed; otherwise, they can return to normal life within 2 days.

When Are the Results of a Hair Transplant Seen?

One of the things most people wonder about is when they will see results. People who have a hair transplant in Istanbul want their new hair as soon as possible, but this varies from person to person.

It takes on average 10–12 months for transplanted hair to reach its new state, and this can be longer or shorter depending on environmental factors.

What Skin Care Is Needed Before a Hair Transplant?

After making an appointment, patients should see their doctor for a preliminary examination. After the necessary examinations, hair analyses and some blood tests will be performed, and your doctor will then give you the necessary information.

How Is Hair Washed After a Hair Transplant?

The first wash takes place 3–4 days after the procedure, on the day set by your doctor. To avoid damaging the transplanted area, the crusted area should be softened with lotions and washed gently without harming the follicles.

Is There Pain During the Operation?

Many people worry about whether the procedure is painful. However, because the hair transplant is performed under local anaesthesia, no pain or discomfort is felt.

Who Performs These Procedures, and Where?

There are doctors who can help you achieve the best result. With many references in this field, Doç. Dr. Ozan Balık provides the best hair transplant in Istanbul service with his expert team at his private clinic.

How Many Days Should I Set Aside for a Hair Transplant?

People who work often wonder how many days they need to set aside. It is not as long as many think. The hair transplant operation is completed on day 1, a dressing is done the next day, and the hair is washed on day 3. Your doctor will explain how to wash your hair. Three days are enough.

How Long Does a Hair Transplant Last?

Hair taken from the area that is genetically resistant to hair loss and transplanted lasts a lifetime. Thanks to grafts from this area, you can have permanent hair for many years.

But for hair that will last you a lifetime, you first need to put it in safe hands. We recommend working with Doç. Dr. Ozan Balık, who has proven himself in the field.

Is a Hair Transplant Harmful?

Besides wanting permanent new hair, one of the biggest questions for people who have lost their hair is whether a hair transplant is harmful. It is definitely not.

During the operation, follicles called grafts are taken from the person's own donor area and transferred to where they are needed. When performed with modern techniques by an expert aesthetic surgeon, no complications are encountered. That is why Doç. Dr. Ozan Balık, who provides professional services in Istanbul, should be your only choice.

What Is Sedation?

Sedation is the use of calming medication to reduce discomfort, anxiety and pain during a hair transplant.

It is given sometimes by injection and sometimes as oral medication. The dose is adjusted according to the patient's age, sex and medical history. Pain-relieving and calming medications are given during the procedure.

Do I Have to Have Sedation?

Sedation is safe for people, including children. For hair transplant candidates, it reduces pain to zero. However, if a patient does not want sedation, the hair transplant can also be performed without it.

Whether to use sedation is entirely the patient's choice. Your doctor can give you the best advice on this.
