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.

customer reviewed The best service ever - miles better than the UK!

So my partner and I went for some treatments last week. David Turker is our coordinator. I was staying at Optimed and had Dr Ahmet for an arm lift. I also had one tooth implant at the dental clinic in the city. My partner has a hair transplant and consultation for new teeth. The hospital was immaculately clean and the nurses lovely and so helpful even though they mostly didn’t speak English. There was a translator there in situ 24/7. Nothing was too much trouble for the translators. We decided instead of staying in a hotel my partner would stay in the hospital with me. This meant some running about the city for the translators but they took it in their stride. I’ve had 8 operations in my 65 years in the UK with the NHS and this hospital and nurses were 4 times better in every way. They treated you with respect unlike here where they often treat you like a child! The dental clinic was out of this world in terms of cleanliness and the modern latest equipment plus the female surgeon who did my implant spoke English but the translator was there anyway. She was quick and effective and I could tell she knew exactly what she was doing. Compare this to me having 2 implants with a dental surgeon in Scotland. I paid £12,000 for 2. In Istanbul I paid £435 plus my service was second to none and no messing about. My partner had to have extra ozone treatment as he couldn’t stop smoking so it was affecting the blood circulation on his head. They gave him 3 treatments plus on the last night transferred us to the Lionel, a 5 star hotel nearer his clinic to facilitate his treatment before we went to the airport. We paid no extra for all of this. BookingSurgery. One of our translators came with us right up to the security part in the airport carrying our luggage. I felt that each step of the way I was in good hands. I run two businesses and have a governmental job which means I’m used to being in charge. Here I gave over complete control to others because I had complete trust in them. It was great to know they could instruct me and everything would be perfect. We gave our 8 translators $200 tip to share as I don’t think they get paid a lot but they were so lovely. We will both be returning for teeth work and I’ll probably have a face and neck lift with Dr Ahmet. I think the only reason the UK media spread negative reports of bad experiences in Turkey is because they shame the UK in terms of pricing and professionalism. So here it’s £6,000 per tooth implant and there it’s £435! They’re making a profit at that so imagine how we’re being ripped off in the UK paying thousands because we have no choice. The NHS won’t give us implants even though we’ve paid into the system since the age of 16. PS I didn’t have weighr loss surgery but lost the weight myself over several years. So just needed Booking Surgery to sort out saggy arms. So you can still have plastic surgery without having to lose stones and stones. So absolutely well done Booking Surgery. You’re fabulous.

Lee Calder reviewed Booking Surgery has changed my life.

Today my time with Booking surgery came to an end. I cannot put into words how great my experience has been. It has been faultless from Booking the initial surgery which was a Gastric sleeve to leaving today. My surgeon Dr Katar has done an amazing job along with all his colleagues. Rachel the nutritionist gives so much detail into how to make your surgery a success and get the results wanted. I was on floor 5 and everyone of the staff gave 100%. The translators were amazing and got any answers to questions they wasnt sure of. The NHS in the UK could learn alot from coming over here and seeing how it's done. I can't thank them enough and I am looking forward to my fresh start.

Hannah Wilson reviewed ✨ Absolutely amazing ✨

Absolutely amazing! Booking surgery have literally changed my life! 🩷 Communication from the very start with my coordinator ( penny - also amazing btw 🩷 ) right to the very end was A***** I arrived at the airport, made my way to the meeting point and the driver was right there waiting for us bless him, provided water for the journey too! The hospital itself was so clean, so beautiful! All the translators were amazing ( little tip download Google translate incase you need to communicate before the translator can get to you ) I went on my own and I’m pretty sure everyone could tell how anxious I was but everyone and I mean EVERYONE gave me the best care! Not just for my sleeve aftercare but when I was upset or nervous or having a panic episode someone was straight there with me and that meant so much! So to everyone that was there with me the whole way through, ALL the nurses, the housekeeping staff, the surgeons I cannot thankyou enough for being there with me all the way when my life officially started again! My surgery was 25/7/24 and I’m 4 stone lighter! My mental health is so much better for making this decision! So yeah, I Would HIGHLY recommend! Thankyou so so much See you all again soon Xx

Leonie reviewed Mommy Makeover, Dr Nebil

I had an extended tummy tuck, breast uplift, muscle repair, 5 area of liposuction by Dr Nebil. This was all booked through my coordinator Robert, he’s been very thorough, anything I’ve asked he’s got the answer for me within 24 hours, he’s been a really helpful booking coordinator! I arrived at the airport and met the taxi man, he brought us to Yaşam Hospital were I met Martin the translator, he then took me for my tests, the next morning I met Dr Nebil were he told me all my tests were okay and he could draw me up for surgery, he advised me on what he thought was best but I didn’t want certain things and he didn’t push me for them just advised that to get the best results he’d recommend getting these done. 15 minutes later I was ready for surgery, got on the bed and down I went, I had sedation and then next minute (6 hours later) I woke up. I got took back to my room and was monitored closely, pain medication given and blankets to warm me up, 6 hours later I was allowed a drink, some food and took my first walk. The morning after surgery was when I got to see my results and OH WOW!!! Dr Nebil is a magician!!! I cannot get over my new body, I am beyond happy!!! Each morning my surgeon came to see me to check my incisions, and drains informed me on my blood results which were taken each morning. 4 days post op, my drains were removed, I felt the best I’ve felt all week. We leave tomorrow and will be picked up and taken to the airport. All the translators have been amazing, coming in to check I am okay and if we need anything, Oscar stood out the most to us he’s so cheeky and helpful he helped us with ordering some food and collecting it for us, but Martin and Stella have been great too! There were two other translators but I never got their names. The nurses have been fantastic! They come in 2 hourly to check my observations, they are all so friendly, and do their best to translate to you if the translator isn’t around. Steve the nurse is so gentle and friendly! There’s been many nurses who stood out to me but too many to name! My only negatives are that on day 2 and 3 I was left for 10-12 hours with no pain medications due to them not listening that my cannula wasn’t working, and also that I wasn’t due any medications but this hadn’t been explained to me. During my stay I did need 5 cannulas due to the care of them, they didn’t get flushed before every use and therefore I think they ended up closing and no longer worked. On some nights the nurses were rather loud, so this could be an issue for people if they struggle to get to sleep with noise. Honestly you hear all the horror stories about surgery abroad but this company has been amazing and I’d 110% recommend them to anybody contemplating surgery abroad!!
