Experiencing hair loss can leave many people feeling anxious and unsure of what they can do to prevent further balding. If you are dealing with hair loss and considering having hair transplant surgery, this article will explain everything you need to be aware of when selecting a hair transplant clinic and showcase the results you can expect. We will explore why so many people in your position have trusted a hair transplant clinic in Turkey to fulfil their hopes of hair restoration. Hair transplants in Turkey have become increasingly popular, and this is not surprising when taking into consideration the high-quality results produced and the low cost of treatment. Let’s take an in-depth look at the fundamental elements of hair transplantation surgery and help you decide if this is the best option for you.
What is the Hair Transplant Process?
During your initial consultation at the Dr Serkan Aygin Clinic, we will determine which transplantation method is best. Depending on your hair loss classification, the size of the thinning area, quality and quantity of donor areas, we will decide if it’s best to proceed with Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) or Direct Hair Implantation (DHI). We will ensure your results are natural irrespective of which method is chosen.
Dr Serkan Aygin has revolutionised the industry with these modern methods:
- The Sapphire FUE method uses blades made from the sapphire gemstone to extract hair follicles instead of steel blades used in regular FUE hair transplants. Incisions are made at the recipient sites before implanting the grafts
- The DHI method uses a specialised tool called a Choi Implanter Pen to simultaneously performs site creation and graft placement allowing full control of depth, direction and angle of placement of each graft
- The Soft Anaesthesia method refers to conducting a hair transplant while the patient is under sedation. Even though the patient remains awake for the procedure they won’t feel the graft extraction, recipient site creation or transplantation process. Opting for soft sedation or needless anaesthesia is completely down to you, this method can be used for both FUE and DHI hair transplants.
Finding a Hair transplant clinic you can trust
It can be hard to know who to trust with your hair transplant surgery, especially when some clinics resort to writing fake reviews in an attempt to drum up business. We would recommend asking your clinic to put you in touch with previous patients so you can hear their experience from start to finish, first-hand. This will also help you prepare for everything that hair implantation entails from having a blood test to determining your eligibility.
Dr Serkan Aygin is a hair transplant surgeon you can trust and has been performing hair transplant procedures for over 24 years, treating over 10 thousand patients. He was granted the award for the ‘Best Hair Transplant Surgeon’ by the independent organisation European Awards of Medicine in 2019. He also received the award for the ‘Best Medical Tourism Facility’ at the 8th Health Tourism awards organised by La Razon in Spain in 2019.
When can you expect to see your Hair Transplant Results?
You can expect to see results as early as two weeks after your surgery. The timeline below will give you an indication of what to expect and when:
Weeks 2-4: This is your first glimpse of the great results to come as the distinction between transplanted and native hair disappears.
Months 1-3: Known as “shock loss”, during this period your transplanted hair will begin to shed. Don’t be alarmed, this is completely normal.
Months 3-6: All lost hair is replaced with new hair growth and thickened transplanted hair.
Months 6-10: Keep your eyes peeled for the most impressive difference since the initial procedure. You are nearing the end of a worthwhile journey.
Months 12+: After a full year, you can start to enjoy the final results of the procedure, however, the recovery period may take longer when the transplantation is performed in the crown area.
What factors affect your hair transplant results?
Hair restoration is a personal journey and therefore your results will be unique to you so you should avoid comparisons with other hair transplant patients. The main variables that affect your results are:
- Hair characteristics – coarse, curly hair will appear thicker than fine, straight hair
- The contrast between hair and skin colour – the combination of pale skin and dark hair may cause some patient’s hair to appear thinner as the skin will be more visible through the hair
- The extent of hair loss – this affects the ratio of the donor area to the recipient area
- Donor area density – dense hair in the donor area will provide a greater supply of follicular units
- Donor follicular unit groupings – donor supply with lots of three and four hair follicular units creates more ‘thickness’ than supply consisting mainly of one and two hair follicular units.
Your surgeon will consider these variables and create a personalised treatment plan, ensuring maximum satisfaction.
What Aftercare can you expect following your Hair transplant in Turkey?
Once the operation has been carried out, experienced medical assistants at Dr Serkan Aygin Clinic ensure that patients are given accurate information from the doctor in the patient’s mother tongue. The assistant will be available to answer any questions that may arise following the operation. Our care doesn’t stop post-operation and we will guide you through your hair restoration journey from Shock Loss to new hair growth. We conduct regular check-ins with all patients to determine how well you are healing and how your results are developing. These check-ins continue until 12 months post-operation when you will see the full results of your hair transplant.
