Hi everyone,

I’ve been thinking about getting a hair transplant, but I’m a bit unsure about the whole process. I’ve heard both positive and negative stories, so I’m hoping to get some real experiences. What should I consider before moving forward? How long does the recovery take, and what’s the typical outcome in terms of results?

I’d love to hear from anyone who’s had a transplant—what was your experience with the procedure, cost, and aftercare? Also, are there any specific clinics or doctors you’d recommend? Appreciate any advice you can share!

Thanks!

Hi there!
I’ve had a hair transplant a few years ago, so I can share some insights. First, it’s crucial to do your research on the clinic and surgeon. Look for board-certified professionals with good reviews and before-and-after photos. I went with an FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) method, which is less invasive and leaves minimal scarring.

The recovery time varies but generally takes about 7-10 days for the initial healing, though it can take up to a year to see the full results. You’ll experience shedding in the first few weeks, but that’s normal, as the new hair follicles settle in.

Costs can range from $3,000 to $15,000, depending on the clinic, procedure type, and the number of grafts needed.

Aftercare is important! I followed my surgeon's advice on avoiding sun exposure and not touching the transplanted area too much. I’d also suggest avoiding alcohol and smoking as they can slow the healing process.

I recommend looking into clinics with a solid reputation, like those in Turkey or high-quality providers in the US and UK, but definitely consult with a few to get a feel for your options!

I looked into hair transplant Istanbu as an option and found several high-quality clinics offering competitive prices. Follow your surgeon's aftercare instructions to ensure the best results.
