Turkey is the number one destination for hair transplants. Doctors use the most modern transplant techniques.

FUE HAIR TRANSPLANTATION

In FUE hair transplantation, the second step is to open the canals. With a special blade with a sapphire tip, the doctor opens the channels – makes incisions in the scalp, into which the grafts will be planted later. The experience of the transplant doctor is very important here. After all, the opening of the canals must be done at the right inclination and maximum density, so that the hair will be thick in the future. After the canals are opened, the planting of grafts into the canals begins.

The FUE method is used when the patient has extensive areas of baldness, it is necessary to transplant a lot of hair with maximum density

DHI HAIR TRANSPLANTATION

In DHI hair transplantation, there is no second step – the opening of the canals. The grafts that have been collected and sorted are placed in a special Choi implant pen and implanted directly one by one. In other words, the doctor makes a puncture with this pen and implants the graft one by one. Contrary to popular belief about the advantages of one method over another, each method is used on a case-by-case basis. The transplant method is determined by the doctor after studying the patient’s case.

The DHI method is used when the patient does not have a clearly defined hairless area. It is best used for patients who have thinning areas but still have enough of their own hair. After all, this method allows the new grafts to be transplanted between or next to their own hair without damaging their roots.

HAIR TRANSPLANTATION WITH THE FUE+DHI METHOD

If the patient has a mixed type of baldness, a combined FUE and DHI transplant method is recommended. Each area will be transplanted using a different method.

Hair transplant process

Byhow is the process of hair transplant surgery? The back of the head is considered as the donor area first. If it is insufficient, the beard and mustache area can be the donor area in intercine hair transplantation.If the patient does not mind the fact that the facial vegetation can become sparser, doctors welcome this decision, as the facial hair is ideal and it does not create harmony problems. The back and legs are considered in extremely rare cases. Usually, the hair there is not suitable for retake. It is very difficult to select the best quality hair follicles from that area. And they almost never take root

Preparing for surgery

In fact, there is no need for complex preparation for hair transplant surgery, but there is a list of rules that patients must necessarily adhere to:

  • 1-2 weeks in advance it is not recommended to consume alcohol and smoking;
  • abstain from caffeine-containing drinks for a day;
  • the day before should be thoroughly washed hair without the use of additional means (masks, gels, etc.);
  • to the operation should come in comfortable clothes. After all, you will have to lie down.
Операция

The process consists of several steps

  • 1. Collection of hair follicles. Each follicular unit is removed from the donor area for transplantation.
  • 2. Preparation of the recipient area where the hair roots will be transplanted.
  • 3. Sorting of follicles/grafts
  • 4. Transplanting.

At this stage, the slope of the transplant is extremely important, because the hair should grow under the natural growth slope. The doctor’s aesthetic taste plays a very important role, because no one wants to look like a weed man with hair sticking out in different directions. The procedure itself is carried out under local anesthesia. Therefore, the patient is awake during it: reading a book or watching a movie. After the operation, the doctor puts a bandage on the donor area and the operation is considered complete.

Postoperative period

Immediately after surgery, there is a slight swelling, but the patient can safely return to their normal life. Hair transplantation in Turkey is always combined with tourist life. Our patients spend these few days walking around Istanbul, because they do not experience painful sensations and have no restrictions on movement. Still, there are a few rules.

  • for the first few days, cover the transplanted area with a special cap to avoid follicle loss;
  • 24 hours after the operation, the doctor will show you how to wash your hair after hair transplantation;
  • the hair transplant area should be sterile, so the pillow should be clean, the angle of the head while sleeping should be 45 degrees to prevent hair loss due to friction.
Hair grafting after hair transplantation
  • 2- 3 days the donor area will recover and the redness will go away.
  • After 2-3 weeks shock hair loss occurs when all the transplanted hair falls out, but it successfully regrows within 2 months
  • 3-5 months thin hair will start to grow, gradually it will grow thicker.
  • 5-8 months almost all the transplanted hair will grow, but it will not yet reach its final density.
  • 9-12 months you will see the hair structure change.
  • 12-18 months is the final look of your new hair. Congratulations!
