This is entirely dependant on the procedure you and your doctor decide is best to meet your needs.
For both FUE Hair Transplant and DHI hair transplantations, the hair is washed during the first two days post-treatment.
For those who have undergone FUE transplantation requiring a head shave with a large donor area, bandages are placed on the donor area to ensure this area is kept clean and you can sleep properly.
For those having thinning hair or hair lines filled, the treatment area will simply look like a rash that will resolve in a week or two. As time passes the newly implanted hair will grow and you will notice the density of your hair begin to increase.
Sometimes there is a limit as to how many hair grafts can be taken from a donor area. It is important that the donor area is not over-harvested, which can result in thinned or uneven areas of growth.
We are able to take hair from other areas of the body if more grafts are required to meet your needs. If this is required your doctor will discuss this with you.
Generally, as soon as you are home from your hair holiday you will be able to return to work and normal daily activities.
We only say generally as there are occupations out there such as deep-sea divers and other unique and extreme occupations that would require more time! It’s important we mention this because hair loss is not career-specific.
Yes.
With DHI technology we can cover or fill in any scars on the scalp with a hair transplant treatment. This is often requested for patients who have undergone a previous hair transplant procedure using old transplant technology of FUT that leaves a long scar across the back of the patient’s head.
Once this is filled with new hairs via DHI, the newly grown hairs will hide the scar and leave no areas exposed.
No. Whatever you are quoted in your package with a clear outline of inclusions is exactly what the cost will be. This process is explained further ‘here’.
Your only additional expenses will be spending money, food, and extra activities you wish to participate in. Fortunately, Turkey is extremely cheap compared to Australia, so you will be living your best life indulging with minimum cost.
It doesn’t get any better!
The Cost of Living in Turkey
A common mistake when asking this question is not considering the costs of living in Turkey and the Turkish economy and wages.
For patients Australia earning money in Dollars, the treatment cost in Turkey is much cheaper and affordable. But that treatment cost compared with the average wage in Turkey is not so affordable for the average Turkish person.
The lower cost of living in Turkey also means that accommodation, food, and transport are substantially cheaper too.
Medical Equipment Made in Turkey
Turkey prefers to manufacture goods and products in the country rather than importing them, this approach results in lower medical care and surgery costs. Turkey sells its products and things at a considerably greater price to support this ideology. This results in increased manufacturing and decreased imports. Keeping the money in the country and the medical expenses low.
Absolutely! With medical tourism being so highly supported by the Turkish government, they have ensured their medical industry is of the highest standard and quality possible to protect the medical tourism industry in Turkey.
Turkey has one of the world’s highest standards of medical requirements for clinics and surgeons, and closely monitored.
The Turkish medical bodies such as the International Medical Association and the Turkish Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery inspect Turkish medical facilities on a regular basis. These medical groups inspect all medical facilities such as hospitals and private clinics for cleanliness, doctor certification, accreditation certification, and other factors.
The training and requirements of technicians and surgeons in Turkey is at a higher standard and expectation than you will find in most western countries.
