How a Turkey Hair Transplant Works — the Short Version
If you are wondering how a Turkey hair transplant works when you live in the US, it is simpler than it sounds. You plan everything online, fly to Istanbul for about three days, and do the rest of your recovery at home with online follow-up. Here is each step.
Step 1: Photos and a Free Graft Estimate
You send photos of your hair from the front, top, sides and back (the donor area). Specialist Muhammed Yeni reviews them and you receive a graft estimate, the recommended technique and a fixed package price — at Bosphoria Hair from $2,750. Start here.
Step 2: Book Your Dates and Flights
Once you agree on a date, you book your flights. Many US cities have nonstop flights to Istanbul. Tell us about any medication and health conditions in advance.
Step 3: Three Days in Istanbul
- Day 1: private pick-up at Istanbul Airport, hotel check-in, consultation, final hairline design and blood tests.
- Day 2: the procedure under local anesthesia — extraction, then implantation with Sapphire FUE, DHI or both. Most of the day; you go back to the hotel to rest.
- Day 3: check-up, first wash, aftercare instructions and products, transfer to the airport. Read how to fly home safely.
Step 4: Recovery and Follow-Up at Home
Scabs usually clear in about 10 days, transplanted hairs shed in the first weeks, new growth starts around months 3–4, and the final result shows at 12–18 months. We follow your progress online throughout. See the full recovery timeline.
What Is the Best Time of Year?
A hair transplant in Turkey can be done in any season. Autumn and winter are popular with US patients: cooler weather means less sweating and sun exposure during the first weeks, and a loose hat later on does not stand out. It is also a good time to book because many people plan around the holidays.
