Hair Transplantation

How is Hair Transplantation Done?

Hair transplantation is a cosmetic procedure that aims to restore the hair of the patient through moving healthy hair follicles, also known as grafts, to the thinning or bald areas of the head. This procedure is used to treat genetic, hormonal hair loss or hair loss due to an injury or any other condition. Hair transplantation can also be utilized to restore eyelashes or the beard. If the patient does not have a sufficient amount of healthy hair on the back of the head, the arms or the chest may be used as the donor area.

Hair transfer is able to restore the hair, therefore creating a youthful appearance and boosting self-confidence.

Hair Transplantation by Fue Method

Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) is a method of Hair Transplantation that has recently become popular over the Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT) method. The FUE method starts by the healthy hair follicles being extracted through small punch incisions one by one from the donor area, which is usually the back and the sides of the head but can be arms or the chest as well.

The follicles are then implanted into the target area, where the hair is thinning or balding, through small holes. The transferred grafts continue growing in the target area, creating new hair. It is expected that 10% - 80% of the transplanted hair follicles will grow back.

The FUE method, unlike the FUT method, doesn’t utilize sutures, doesn’t leave scars, has less risks, has a shorter healing period, and has minimal side effects.

The FUE method is recommended to patients that have thinning hair or are balding, but still have sufficient healthy hair follicles to be transferred. A Hair Transplantation is not recommended to patients who suffer from AIDS or from chronic health conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol.

Follicular Unit Transplant (FUT) involves the removal of a linear strip of hair from the donor area including the scalp, and then implementing it into the recipient area. The FUT method results in scarring and numbness of the implemented area, as well as a slower recovery time.

Hair Transplant Process

Patients are greeted by the Booking Surgery staff right after leaving the airport and are brought to the hospital by Booking Surgery’s transport team. After the patient is checked in, their pre-op testing, including the necessary blood work, are performed. The patient is supervised during the day of the arrival and the hair transplantation procedure is performed the next day, the morning after the arrival. The procedure, in total, may take up to 9 hours. There are breaks in between the procedures. After the procedure, the patient will be supplied with a special lotion and shampoo as well as postoperative prescription medicine, and will be instructed regarding the recommended post operative care.

On the last day of the stay, the first hair wash after the surgery is performed and additional supporting treatments are provided.

The patient is then driven to the airport after their attending doctor clears them to fly.

The Basic Stages of Hair Transplantation

Before the Hair Transplant procedure the attending doctor does a consultation with the patient. The patient’s donor and the target areas are evaluated and the most viable hairline as well as grafts to be transplanted are determined. Pre-op tests are performed and evaluated to determine the eligibility for the surgery. The patient’s hair is then shaved.

Local anesthesia is administered and the Hair Transplant Specialist then uses a special tool to remove the grafts from the donor area. Once a sufficient number of grafts are extracted, they're placed in a plasma solution for temporary storage.

The Hair Transplant Specialist makes incisions on the target area, and the hair grafts are then transplanted to the target area. After the Hair Transplant is finished, both the donor and the target areas are cleaned and bandaged.

Patients will be prescribed medication, and will be supplied with a special lotion and shampoo. It is important to take care of the donor and target areas after the operation for a speedy recovery.

Jayden reviewed Sleeve feb 2023 Dr Katar & 360 FDL uplift & Implants April 2024 Dr Nebil

So I originally researched a lot of companies to have my sleeve a year prior to actually having it, and booking surgery was always the one that seemed to stand out the most for all the right reasons. I went ahead and had my sleeve in February 2023 done by the very talented Dr Katar, after losing over 8 and half stone, then maintaining for several months I decided it was time for plastics, so I got in contact with my coordinator Rob Campbell and began researching which plastic surgeon I wanted, Rob was very helpful through each step of the booking process, any questions I had he answered in detail, I went ahead and booked with Dr Nebil Selimouğlu to have a 360 FDL, mons lift, muscle repair and breast uplift with implants under the muscle. I had this surgery done on 15th April 2024 at Yasam hospital, and I don’t have any complaints, the hospital was well equipped and clean, the nurses, staff & translators was all great, if I did occur anything I was unsure of I told one of the translators and it was dealt with straight away, Oscar was my favourite translator, he was very caring and compassionate and nothing was too much trouble. Dr Nabil is a magician, he’s work is impeccable and he is such a nice caring man. He came to see me every day sometimes twice a day while I was there, I think having full hospital stay while there really helps with recovery. I am very early into my recovery journey but already thinking about my next round of plastics again with Dr Nebil. I can’t recommend this company, doctors, nurses, staff and translators enough! Thanks all at booking surgery, I will see you again in the future.

customer reviewed Dr Yalcin At Medistanbul

FDL & MINI BRA LINE LIFT This was my second lot of plastic surgery with booking surgery. My surgeon was Dr Yalcin, he is also known as Dr Yummy🤣. My Coordinator was Nina Ord and she had arranged a transfer from the airport to the hospital for when I arrived, the driver was there ready and waiting as soon as I got to gate 8 (the collection point) he helped me and my companion with our bags and was very polite. The transfer from the airport to the hospital was about 30mins. I was then greeted by two members of booking surgery staff April & Lilly. My room wasn’t quite ready but while we were waiting they took myself and my companion for something to eat. Medistanbul is a new hospital that booking surgery are using so I was quite nervous about going somewhere that I hadn’t been before as my previous surgery was at medicine with Dr Yalcin. All pre op tests was done within a few hours and I was then able to walk about the mall next door to the hospital and check out my surroundings. The rooms are spacious, clean, you also have Netflix to watch too. Fast forward to the day of my surgery I reminded Dr Yalcin that I was quite poorly with my first lot of plastics and he was able to change some medication around so I wasn’t poorly when I come around. I am currently 4 days post op and I couldn’t be happier. The aftercare from Dr Yalcin has been great. Always answered any questions or worries I had. Translators Morgan, Naz and Lilly are always around if you need any help with anything. Always knocking on your door checking in on you and asking if you need anything. The cleaners have been cleaning my room on a regular basis, the nurses have been answering my buzzer when needed. Kept me up to date with my pain killers and ext. Google translate is a good app to have just in case you need something and the translators are busy with another patient. Over all my experience at medistanbul has been fab and if I wanted to come back for anything else with Dr Yalcin wouldn’t hesitate.

Natalie Innes reviewed Amazing experience by the best team!

During my time looking into various surgeons I came across many reviews and friends who had been to Turkey. I work within a professional legal setting and made checks into the experience of the surgeon and his work prior to being at Optimed. It took time to get a date that suited my work commitments as I needed time to recover. I was soo glad I waited for the best surgeon who specialises in real curves and getting the best shape to enhance my shape and goals. Dr Mehmet Emin Atil spent time going over my plans for surgery and explored the procedure in detail. He has faultless english and a reassuring nature. I do not need other surgery but my family members will and I wont hesitate to recommend. The hospital and staff are soo friendly and kind. I even managed to teach them some Glaswegian. The hospital is absolutely spotless and is central for companions to explore and have time for themselves whilst you recover. It was great having support by all the staff who are so friendly and helpful with everything. Optimed for me was a pleasant stay and the hospital is far superior to anything you will experience in the Uk.

Becki Acko reviewed Booking Surgery 3rd visit and once again very happy

I have been a total of 3 times to Istanbul via booking surgery. Each time I book Dr Soner Karaali as he is just amazing! From first contact and booking with my co-ordination Nina to leaving I never have had any issues or complaints. You are picked up from the airport and taken to your hospital, on arrival all relevant tests are carried out to ensure you are fit and healthy for the surgery. On the morning the surgeon visits and goes through what you would like as pre discussed and once agreed for desired results you are drawn up and then taken to theatre. The hospital staff, nurses and cleaning crew are always so kind and caring, friendly and professional. You have interpreters on hand 24/7 asking if you would like/need anything. All meals are provided too as well as protein shakes throughout the day. This visit I’ve had the amazing Lily, Morgan, Frank, Naz and Gabriel. Nothing is too much trouble at all they are fantastic. And most importantly my surgical results are as always phenomenal if I do say so myself 🩷

Marisa Mercieca reviewed Highly recommended

I have been looking through this surgery for years. Finally I have decided to make it and here I am !! I can’t thank all the lovely people that helped me through this journey. It all started from a Facebook add and I ve sent a request to learn more information. Very shortly the consultant contacted me on what’s app. She was super helpful and friendly, I felt well prepared before coming to Turkey. When we got here we found a driver waiting for us and took us to the hospital. My partner came on the trip with me and was allowed to spend everyday with me including three meals a day and sleeping in the same room which was very supportive for me. I cannot not mention the gentle translators that works here, they come to check on you very frequent and make sure you have everything you need and you are comfortable. Most of all a big thank you goes to the lovely nurses and care workers!! They are super kind and helpful!! Their care they show for the patients is impeccable. Thank you all for your dedication. Also i would like to thank Dr Ali Tardu and his team that they have done a super job! Thank you all ❤️ surely recommend!

Pauline Davie reviewed Booked a Deep Plane Face and Neck Lift…

Booked a Deep Plane Face and Neck Lift with Dr Soner through my coordinator Mike Smith who arranged everything. From being met at the airport, transfer to the hospital, all necessary tests, scans, X-rays, etc. Met my surgeon the next morning to discuss my operation. From start to finish I have been looked after 100%. Interpreters are on hand 24/7 to help with anything you want or need. The rooms are large, modern, well equipped and clean. I was so excited about having this procedure and am delighted with my results. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend BookingSurgery.com to anyone who’s looking for any plastic surgery procedures.
