FUE Hair Transplant Turkey

Smile Center Turkey

Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) is a modern hair restoration technique popular in Turkey that is minimally invasive and aims to restore natural-looking hair density in individuals experiencing hair loss. This method involves removing individual hair follicles from the donor area on the back of the head and transplanting them to areas of thinning hair or baldness. FUE Hair Transplant is a reliable and safe option for patients who want to restore their hair and boost their self-esteem.

One of the advantages of an FUE Hair Transplant is that it allows for a natural-looking and dense hairline as the hair follicles are implanted one by one. Moreover, the procedure can suit each patient’s unique hair loss pattern and goals. The recovery time is relatively short; patients can usually resume their daily activities within a few days after the procedure.

What is FUE Hair Transplant?

Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) is a hair transplant method that is minimally invasive. It entails extracting individual hair follicles from a donor region and transplanting them to a recipient area. The extraction procedure is usually performed under local anaesthesia in a few hours, depending on the extent of hair loss and the number of follicles to be transplanted.

During an FUE hair transplant, a specialized tool is used to extract hair follicles from the back or sides of the scalp, the donor area, where hair is more resistant to balding. The extracted follicles are then carefully prepared under a microscope and implanted into tiny incisions in the recipient area, where new hair growth is desired.

FUE is also a more precise and customizable procedure, allowing for more natural-looking results and the ability to create a more natural hairline. Patients typically experience minimal discomfort during and after the procedure and can return to normal activities within a few days.

Treatment Objective

DHI (Direct Hair Implantation) hair transplantation method involves transplanting individual hair follicles directly into balding or sparse areas. This procedure aims to provide maximum density and natural appearance. DHI uses a pen-like device specially designed for precise application and allows the grafts to be transplanted directly, which speeds up the healing process and helps the results to be more natural.

Estimated Recovery Period

The DHI method accelerates the healing process and patients can usually return to their daily activities a few days after the procedure. Full hair growth and aesthetic results may take several months to be seen and results are usually optimised within 6-12 months.

FUE Hair Transplant Procedure

The FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) Hair Transplant procedure begins with a thorough examination and diagnosis of the individual’s hair loss pattern. Based on this assessment, the best approach for the transplant is determined, considering factors like hair density, donor area availability, and overall hair health. The planning phase involves outlining the transplant design and the number of grafts needed. Similarly, Female Hair Transplant Turkey follows a similar process but with a focus on the unique hair loss patterns in women, which often involve diffuse thinning rather than complete baldness. The planning stage takes into account the specific needs of female patients, ensuring natural-looking results. 

During the procedure, individual hair follicles are carefully extracted from the donor area and transplanted into the recipient site, ensuring a natural and aesthetically pleasing outcome. Post-procedure care and follow-up appointments are essential to monitor the progress and optimize the results.

FUE Hair Transplant Turkey Overview

FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) hair transplantation is a minimally invasive procedure that aims to restore natural-looking hair density in individuals experiencing hair loss. This method involves removing individual hair follicles from the donor area on the back of the head and transplanting them to areas of thinning hair or baldness.

It usually takes between 4-8 hours depending on the number of follicles harvested.

It does not require hospitalization.

Patients are generally recommended to stay for 3-4 days during the treatment to cover the preparation, procedure and initial recovery period.

After the treatment, side effects such as mild pain, swelling, redness and itching may occur in the donor and transplant areas. These side effects usually subside within a few days.

Most patients can return to normal activities one week after the procedure. However, it may take several months to a year to see full hair growth and for the transplanted hair to settle naturally.

Video Patient Comments

Who is suitable for this treatment?

If you observe specific patterns in your hair, such as a completely receded hairline, the formation of an “M” shape or a “widow’s peak” due to receding in the temples, recession to the middle of the scalp between the crown and forehead, or thinning with a general outline, these indications suggest that you could be a suitable candidate for the treatment.

It’s important to pay attention to these patterns as they play a crucial role in determining whether this specific solution aligns with your needs and considerations. By recognizing these signs, you can consult with your doctor to determine the best approach towards your wants to achieve the best results.

Benefits

FUE hair transplant is especially beneficial for individuals who like to keep their hair very short, as there won’t be noticeable scars.

FUE promotes faster healing in the area where hair follicles are extracted, contributing to a more rapid recovery.

Unlike some other methods, FUE allows patients to resume intense physical activities sooner after the surgery.

FUE is known for providing enhanced comfort in the area from which hair follicles are taken, offering a more comfortable experience for patients.

Possible Complications

FUE has limitations on the number of grafts in one session, and it usually costs more than traditional methods. The procedure can take longer, affecting the quality and growth of the grafts.
 
Each FUE session adds new scars. If you have multiple sessions, the number of scars increases, making scarring more visible.
 
FUE makes it harder to get a good density of hair, affecting how well the hair grows. The quality of the grafts might not be as good as with traditional methods.
 
FUE may damage grafts, making them weaker and less likely to grow well compared to traditional methods.

Healing Process

After the FUE hair transplant, taking good care of the transplanted hair is crucial to ensure successful hair growth. Most patients can return to normal activities one week after the procedure. However, it may take several months to a year to see full hair growth and for the transplanted hair to settle naturally.

One of the essential aspects of FUE hair transplant aftercare is shampooing. Experts recommend shampooing hair daily, starting the day after the operation. Gentle washing helps to remove any scabs or crusts that may have formed on the scalp, which can hinder hair growth. Patients should avoid using hot water and vigorous scrubbing during washing as this can damage the newly transplanted hair follicles.

It is also essential to avoid exposure to direct sunlight, sweat, and wearing hats for at least two weeks after the procedure. Patients should follow the instructions provided by their surgeon for proper aftercare to ensure a successful FUE hair transplant.

Common Post-procedure Reactions

After your hair transplant surgery, you might experience some pain, especially in the donor area and where hairs have been implanted. This discomfort is often described as a graze-like pain but is usually not severe. In the initial days, especially on the evening and the day following the surgery, you may feel pain. Similarly, DHI Hair Transplant Turkey can also cause temporary discomfort in the donor and implantation areas. However, the pain is generally mild and can be managed with prescribed medication, and it typically subsides after a few days. 

It’s normal to experience some swelling, typically in the forehead, which can last for 2-6 days. In rare cases, the swelling may involve the eyelid, causing a delay in returning to work.

Bleeding can occur immediately after the transplant, especially at the back of the head where hair follicles were extracted. Itching is a common side effect, usually starting a few days after the surgery, affecting the donor and graft areas. It’s crucial not to scratch, as it can harm the new follicles.

Crusts, appearing as scabs, may develop in both the donor and implanted areas due to dried blood and fluids. It’s important not to pick at these crusts to avoid damaging the transplanted grafts. Overall, these side effects are temporary and part of the healing process after a hair transplant surgery.

F.A.Q.

When is the haircut after an FUE Hair Transplant?
After undergoing a Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) hair transplant, patients may wonder when they can get a haircut. Experts suggest waiting at least two weeks after the procedure before getting a haircut. This waiting period allows the newly transplanted hair to settle properly into the scalp and reduces the risk of damaging the grafts during the haircut. It is also advised to avoid aggressive hair styling or coloring for the first few weeks after the transplant.
Shock hair loss, also known as “telogen effluvium,” is a temporary hair-shedding phenomenon that can occur after a follicular unit extraction (FUE) hair transplant surgery. It typically happens in the areas adjacent to the donor and recipient sites due to the trauma caused during the procedure. Although it can be alarming, shock hair loss is normal after a hair transplant, and most patients will see regrowth within several months. However, to reduce the risk of shock hair loss, patients can follow their surgeon’s pre and post-operative instructions and avoid any physical activity that may cause stress on the scalp.

A suitable FUE hair transplant candidate should have the following criteria: * An adequate donor hair supply, * A stable hair loss pattern, * Realistic expectations * Good overall health, * No existing medical conditions that could complicate the surgery * Age, sex, and hair type that are not necessarily limiting factors. Consulting a hair transplant specialist can help determine eligibility. Contact us to learn more and schedule an appointment with our surgeons.
