What Are the Advantages of FUE Hair Transplant in Turkey?

Turkey has become a leading destination for hair transplant surgery over the last few years. More than 20,000 patients travel to the country every year — mainly from the UK and Ireland — to take advantage of the high-quality treatment. The standards of treatment for FUE hair transplants in Turkey is extremely high and the country is an independent global leader for high-quality healthcare and patient safety.

As well as the high treatment standards, cosmetic surgery in Turkey is often substantially cheaper than in other countries. Travelling abroad to undergo a hair transplant in Turkey can allow you to save up to 70% of the total costs that you may expect to pay in the UK.

Turkish clinics are also experienced in caring for international patients too, offering a variety of treatment packages that make travelling abroad for treatment stress-free. These packages often include things like:

  • accommodation

  • airport pick-up and drop-off

  • transfers between the clinic and hotel

These extras are included in the overall price for the treatment.

Overall, Turkey offers a unique combination of doctors with extensive expertise, dedicated teams of experienced nurses, state-of-the-art technology, and a patient-centric approach. - Dr Ziya Yavuz, Dr Ziya Yavuz Hair Transplant Clinic

Is it Worth Travelling to Turkey for a Hair Transplant?

Travelling from the UK to have an FUE hair transplant in Turkey is straightforward. Flight times are only around three to four hours, with flights departing from a number of major airports around the country.

UK citizens don’t usually require a visa for entry if they’re staying for less than 90 days but, in case you do need to apply for a visa, this can easily be done online. However, we also recommend that you check government advice on this, as this will be the most reliable source for up-to-date visa information, as well as the latest information around COVID-19 travel restrictions.

What Factors Influence the Cost of a Hair Transplant in Turkey?

For many cost-conscious patients, one of the biggest questions to consider is, 'how much is a hair transplant in Turkey?' Looking at our worldwide cost comparison table you may be wondering why FUE hair transplant costs in Turkey are so low. There are a few different factors that contribute to this, and we’ve outlined these in more detail below.

  • Lower living and labour costs: in comparison to the UK, the living and labour costs in Turkey are substantially low. This means that Turkish hair transplant clinics can offer highly experienced doctors, state-of-the-art facilities, and patient-focused treatment packages at a much lower price than UK clinics, without sacrificing on the quality of care.

  • Flat rate for a maximum number of grafts: the price of hair transplantation is often dependent on the number of grafts that need to be transplanted. For those looking for a big increase in coverage, this can make undergoing treatment expensive. However, FUE hair transplant clinics in Turkey offer a set price for the procedure, regardless of how many grafts are being transplanted.

  • A competitive market: another contributing factor to the affordability of hair transplantation surgery in Turkey relates to the sheer number of specialists and clinics in the country. This has created a competitive market of world-renowned surgeons, which has, in turn, helped to drive down prices for patients.

What can I do as a Hair Transplant Patient during the time in Turkey?

As a hair transplant patient during your stay in Turkey, there are several activities you can enjoy. Firstly, it's important to rest and allow your body to recover after the procedure, so take the opportunity to relax in your hotel or accommodation.

While engaging in physical activities should be limited during the initial recovery period, you can still enjoy gentle activities such as shopping, dining at local restaurants, or taking scenic tours. Turkey offers a rich cultural experience, so you can explore historical sites, visit museums, or take leisurely walks to soak in the local atmosphere. Istanbul, for example, offers a vibrant shopping scene and delectable cuisine to indulge in.

It's advisable to avoid direct sun exposure and strenuous activities that may affect the healing process, such as swimming or intense workouts, during the initial recovery phase. Remember to follow your surgeon's post-operative instructions for optimal results. Ultimately, use this time in Turkey to not only undergo a hair transplant but also immerse yourself in the unique culture and attractions the country has to offer.
