Absolutely, you will have a face-to-face consultation with your surgeon prior to your surgery after you arrive for your hair transplant in Turkey. You will have the opportunity to discuss your hair loss history and your expectations along with the preference of your hairline. Your surgeon will draw your hairline according to your facial measurements and mark different zones on your scalp to plan your treatment. He will not proceed before you agree on your hairline and treatment plan.

Longevita has a selection of skilled, qualified and experienced hair transplant surgeons in its portfolio. Your case manager will present these surgeons, share their profiles with you and you’ll browse before and after images of previous cases. Your surgeon’s credentials, such as their CV, diploma, registration to the Turkish Medical Association, and insurance details, would be on their profile. You may also speak to the previously treated patients of your surgeon to hear about their hair transplant in Turkey experience first-hand.

Hair transplant surgery takes around 6-8 hours, and it is a team effort. Usually, teams of 3-4 medical professionals work on your scalp throughout the procedure and each practitioner has a speciality of their own. For example, the surgery starts with anaesthetics and the anaesthetics technician performs this part. Then the extraction of follicles is performed by the entire team. The following and perhaps most critical phase of the procedure is the incisions which are performed solely by the hair transplant surgeon. Finally the last stage, transplantation is performed by the hair transplant surgical assistants.

Longevita’s medical facilities in Turkey are registered and audited by the Ministry of Health. Longevita’s London clinic is registered with the Care Quality Commission (CQC).

Bleeding, infection and allergic reaction to anaesthetics are potential complications but your surgeon can deal with them.

Longevita’s medical facilities have emergency services and intensive care units. They are fully fledged hospitals where more advanced surgical procedures take place under general anaesthesia so hair transplant is a relatively less risky procedure compared to those.

Yes, the responsible medical staff have professional indemnity insurance that covers any unlikely medical malpractice.

Two nights of stay for a hair transplant in Turkey is sufficient. Some patients who are short in time stay for only one night and return to the UK on the next morning of the procedure day however we advise you to stay the next day for a proper check-up and dressing change along with detailed post-operative training.

You may email or schedule a video/audio conference with a member of our aftercare team for any medical help after your hair transplant in Turkey.

You have the option to visit our London clinic if you would like to be examined in person by a medical professional or speak to a Longevita staff member face to face.

95% of the complications are usually within the first few days of surgery and that is why we recommend you to have a check-up appointment with your surgeon before you depart. If you are still unhappy after speaking to a member of staff or a Longevita medical professional, then you may follow the complaints procedure on our website.

If your surgeon agrees your results are sub-optimal and you’d benefit from a follow on surgery, then your revision surgery would be free of any medical charges. You would still need to pay for your travel, accommodation, and transfer expenses, as those are third-party arrangements unrelated to your original surgery.

We have an extensive database of treated patients who provided their consent to be contacted by a prospective Longevita patient. You may ask for a few names from your case manager.

Our medical staff speaks basic English. However, we provide a professional translator/interpreter to prevent miscommunication during your hair transplant medical appointments. Your translator will accompany you during all your medical appointments. We can also provide medical notes in English.

Hair transplant in Turkey includes 2 nights of 5-star hotel accommodation, airport transfers and translation services. Flights are excluded. London UK prices are standalone surgery prices only with no accommodation or transfers.
