As most of us know, hair transplants are a hot trend in the world of cosmetic surgery nowadays. The procedure is effective and widely recommended for people who have lost their hair.ย ย
Not to mention that hair transplants are not limited to head hair. It can also include facial hair transplants such as: beard & mustache transplants and eyebrow transplants.
Now Turkey has become a global destination for such hair transplant operations and other plastic surgeries as well. We mention below the most famous ones offered:ย
- Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT):
During the FUT procedure, the physician cuts a strip of hair from the back of the scalp and removes the hair follicles one by one.
During FUE, the physician removes the follicles directly from the skin. In both surgeries, the follicles are placed on the balding parts of the scalp.
- Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE):
The hair in the donor area is shortened, and local anesthesia is applied to the area. Grafts are removed using a special surgical instrument with a diameter of 1 mm.ย
In order for the transplanted hair to be dense and appear thick, these grafts are placed in the channels opened in the desired areas for transplantation.
A significant number of channels must be opened, and a high number of grafts must be inserted in place.ย
3000-4000 grafts can be harvested by using this method, which requires more than one surgeon and takes a long time.
- Direct hair transplantation (DHI):
Direct hair transplantation (DHI) is another version of the FUE technique. It Is considered the most advanced and recent hair transplant technique.
The Direct Hair Implantation methodโs distinctive feature is that grafts are gathered in a pen called a Choi before being planted in bald areas using the same pen.ย
With the DHI procedure, hair transplantation takes place more quickly. The doctor removes hair follicles from a certain part of the scalp and places them in bald areas. New hair regrows as a result of this treatment.
During the procedure:
- The doctor applies local anesthesia to numb the patient.
- S/he harvests the hair follicles from the back of the head with the help of a fine-tipped special tool.
- The hair follicles will be transferred to the pen-shaped tool and applied to the balding part of the scalp.
- Finally, the doctor will apply an antibiotic cream and bandage all areas.
FUE and DHI surgeries usually take about 8 hours, but the exact time varies according to the number of hair follicles to be transplanted. The full results of the surgery will become visible in 12 to 18 months.
- Sapphire Percutaneous Method:
More follicles can be planted per centimeter using the Sapphire Percutaneous Method. This technique allows the surgeon to plant 60 to 80 grafts per centimeter as opposed to just 40. Compared to a typical hair transplant, the recovery is quicker and there is less inflammation.
Successful Hair Transplantation Checkmarks
- Planning and diagnosis should be done correctly.
- Selecting a qualified and experienced team
- The patient should determine the needed hairline.
- Grafts must be removed without damage.
- Grafts must be intact.
- The amount of the graft and the state of the balding area should be taken into consideration while determining the most suitable transplant frequency.
- A proper hair care routine must be followed.
Which Hair Transplant Is Best In Turkey?
Given all the information above, you will have plenty of options to choose from. Not to mention that the doctor will guide you toward the best hair transplant procedure suitable for your hairline and scalp.ย
Some people have excessive balding around multiple parts of their hairlines, while others may need a few follicles implanted in tiny spots around the scalp. Such variation in hair loss makes it difficult for us to choose a specific operation.
There are some factors that determine which operation is suitable for you:
- Number of follicles needed for transplantation
- Balding area size in head/scalp/face
- Requested hairline
- Donor hair quality
- Health conditions
- Hereditary conditions
- Doctorโs evaluation after pretests
