That is why many people choose a hair clinic in Turkey, a government-registered facility where specialised surgeons use the most advanced transplantation techniques for permanent hair restoration.
Even after factoring in the costs of flight and hotel, hair transplant Turkey cost is cheaper than in the UK. And that has led to a boom in the hair transplant industry in Turkey.

Is Turkey The Best Place For A Hair Transplant?
Many people talk highly of their hair restoration experience in Turkey because of the high quality of results. It should be noted that getting a hair transplant is not the same as getting hair plugs in Turkey.
The old hair plug technique used big, round sections of the skin to grow hair in the bald spots. But its results were very unnatural. To avoid this, Turkish surgeons only use the most modern hair transplant techniques (like FUE) to ensure natural-looking results.
They are also highly experienced because they perform thousands of transplants on people of different ethnicities each year. Moreover, many surgeons are members of international boards. So, you can expect to get the best hair transplant in Turkey.
When it comes to licensing medical premises, Turkey has strict regulations. These facilities are regulated by the Ministry of Health, which frequently comes to inspect them. Additionally, medical practices meet standards set by the World Health Organization (WHO).
Joint Commission International (JCI), ISO & TÜV Rheinland are just a few of the international accreditations hospitals in Turkey have. Therefore, you can easily find the best hair transplant clinic in Turkey.

Is Istanbul Good For Hair Transplant?

Within Turkey, Istanbul is at the heart of the hair transplantation industry. That’s because the city has some of the most qualified and experienced transplant surgeons. Since they receive patients from all over the world, their portfolios are also extremely diverse.
Many medical facilities in Istanbul are also accredited by international healthcare bodies. For instance, almost 50 facilities in Turkey are accredited by the JCI, and many of these are in Istanbul.
In Turkey, the Ministry of Health Inspection Board is also responsible for checking on the hospitals. If a facility is in violation, its permit is temporarily or permanently revoked. So, care is taken to maintain health standards. That way, you can easily get the best hair transplant in Istanbul.

FAQ
How much are the hair transplant prices in Turkey?
On average, hair transplants in Turkey cost between £1,500 and £2,000. In general, it depends on the surgical technique used. FUE is the cheapest, while DHI and Sapphire are usually more expensive.
Why should I choose Turkey for a hair transplant?
Many people choose Turkey for their hair transplant because it’s much more affordable than the US, UK, or Europe and offers high-quality procedures. Turkey is known for its hair transplants, and surgeons are also vastly experienced. If you want these things as well, Turkey might be a good choice.
Is Turkey safe for a hair transplant?
It is safe to have a hair transplant in Turkey, as long as the procedure is carried out by a Turkish Medical Association-registered doctor in a facility licensed by the Ministry of Health. Still, keep in mind that every surgery carries certain risks whether you’re getting it abroad or at home.
Will I meet my hair transplant surgeon prior to the procedure?
Absolutely, you will have a face-to-face consultation with your surgeon before your hair transplant in Turkey. Your expectations, along with your preferred hairline, will be discussed. Your surgery will only take place after you’ve agreed on your hairline design.
Who will be my surgeon and how can I verify their credentials?
Longevita has a selection of skilled, qualified and experienced hair transplant surgeons in its portfolio. Your case manager will present these surgeons and share their profiles and before and after images with you. You will be able to see your surgeon’s credentials, such as their CV, diploma, Turkish Medical Association registration, and insurance details. You can also speak to a previous patient of your surgeon to learn about their experience.
Which parts of the hair transplant will be done by a doctor and which by a non-doctor?
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. An anaesthetist starts by administering anaesthesia. The extraction of follicles is done by the entire team. The incisions for implantation are made solely by the hair transplant surgeon. Transplantation is performed by hair transplant surgical assistants.
Is the clinic registered with a healthcare authority?
Longevita’s chosen medical facilities in Turkey are registered and audited by the Ministry of Health.
What are the possible complications after the hair transplant?
Bleeding, infection and allergic reaction to anaesthetics are potential complications but your surgeon can deal with them.
How would the clinic deal with an emergency if serious complications were to arise during a hair transplant?
Intensive care units and emergency services are available at the facilities where hair surgeries take place. 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.
Does the doctor, clinic or hospital have insurance that covers hair transplant?
Yes, the responsible medical staff will have professional indemnity insurance that will cover any unlikely malpractice.
How long will I need to stay in Turkey before I'm well enough to travel back to the UK?
It is sufficient to stay in Turkey for 2 nights for a hair transplant. There are some patients who only want to stay for one night and return home the next morning. However, we recommend you stay the next day for a check-up, dressing change, as well as detailed post-operative training.
Who can I contact for advice one I'm back in the UK?
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.
Will follow-up checks be offered in the UK and who will do them?
You have the option to visit a 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.
What happens if I'm unhappy with the treatment or there are complications after a hair transplant?
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, you may follow the complaints procedure on our website.
Who would pay for corrective treatment and associated costs for a hair transplant?
Your revision surgery would be free of medical charges if your surgeon agrees your results are suboptimal and you would benefit from a follow-up surgery. Still, you’d need to pay for your travel, accommodation, and transfer expenses, as those are third-party arrangements unrelated to your original surgery.
Can you put me in touch with anyone else you have treated?
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.
What language will the doctors, nurses, and other medical staff involved in my care use, and what language will my medical notes be in?
The 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 appointments. We also provide medical notes in English.
