Cost of Hair Transplant in Turkey
Getting a hair transplant involves not only committing to undergoing a surgical procedure, but also investing financially to have the hair transplant and any pre and post care done. While the cost of a hairtransplant can vary from location to surgeon requests - the biggest way people are saving on the cost of a hair transplant today is by traveling outside ofthe U.S.
Europe is a top, trusted to location people are heading to - particularly Turkey, where numerous surgeons skilled in hair transplants and enticing accommodations are making it a hub for medical tourism.
Not only are things like the surgeon, location and number of visits needed, key in coming up with the total cost of a hair transplant, but another important factor is the kind of hair transplant a patient will be getting. There are various types of procedures and methods of both extracting and transplanting the hair follicles and no patient will have the same need.
FUE and FUT are the most popular hair transplant procedures and they typically range in price for around $1.50 per hair graft -$ 4.70 per hair that is being transplanted from the donor location on the back of the scalp to the balding area.
This price can be further reduced or increased based on automated procedures versus those that have to be done slowly and manually. There is then also the cost of medicine and transportation and hotel stays (if your clinic doesn't offer it) to calculate into the budget.
What’s special about the cost of hair transplants in Turkey is the price is usually calculated as a per session price and is not typically broken down into charging per unit of hair follicle extracted.
For anyone who has a larger area needing coverage, turning to the FUT method can help grab and transplant more hair follicles in each session with the surgeon than those who must carefully hair smaller hair units removed and transplanted.
Also, the cost of any medical procedure can be far less outside of the U.S. due to how medical insurance plans and coverage are set up. Because it is considered a cosmetic surgery, the prices can skyrocket well about the thousands of dollars mark.
Since all of these factors will take a toll on your bill - it’s important to always set up a consultation first - you might even be able to get it done for free - so you can talk to the actual doctor about what you will need in your particular case, and what the prices and any amenities offered may be.

The main factors that can influence hair transplant costs include:
The density required for transplant:
Most hair transplants provide 35-40 grafts per cm2. The number of grafts provided will depend on how bald a person may be coming into the surgery.
Total number of grafts required:
Depending on the side of the area that requires grafts you can sometimes be charged on a per graft basis for the surgery.
The technique:
Different techniques may need to be used in order to insert multiple hair follicles per graft or utilize one of two methods for the surgery. The traditional method for implanting the hair follicles called FUT usually costs between 1-1. 5USD per hair graft whereas the advanced stitch less procedure known as FUE can cost between 2-4.5 USD per graft. The second procedure technique can produce a faster recovery time and a much more natural look but it does cost considerably more.
The qualifications of the physician:
The operating doctor for hair transplant surgery should be a qualified plastic surgeon that has many years of experience in the industry. If a doctor comes highly recommended and highly in demand from many travellers and locals they can often command a higher price for their services. As well as the experience that a doctor can provide, the quality of their results also come into consideration. If a doctor has performed quality work in the past and they can reference a number of excellent and natural looking surgeries that they have performed, they can often command a higher price as well.
