Frequently Asked Questions about hair transplants

Density achieved with 3200 grafts can vary widely depending on the technique used and the specific characteristics of the hair. FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) techniques tend to give more density per graft because of the careful placement and distance control between grafts.

Generally, a density of around 40-60 follicles per square centimeter is achievable with this number of grafts. A skilled surgeon can optimize placement strategies to ensure the best aesthetic results, considering factors such as hair type and natural growth patterns.

Yes, when performed by an experienced surgeon, a 3200 grafts hair transplant can provide highly natural-looking results. The effectiveness lies in the surgeon’s ability to mimic the natural hair growth patterns and use advanced placement techniques.

The artistry of hairline design, the strategic distribution of grafts, and the careful selection of grafts based on the patient’s characteristics can all contribute to an outcome that looks indistinguishable from natural hair. Patients should expect a gradual maturation of results over time, which enhances the natural appearance.

The duration of a 3200 grafts hair transplant can vary but typically ranges from 6 to 10 hours. This timeframe includes the preparation of the donor area, the extraction of the grafts, and their subsequent implantation into the recipient site.

Both the surgeon’s experience and the specific methods utilized will affect the total time. Extended procedures may include breaks for patient comfort, as well as time for any necessary anesthesia administration.

The cost of a 3200 grafts hair transplant can vary significantly based on several factors. Geographic location, the expertise of the surgeon, and the specific clinic chosen can all play a role in determining the final price. Typically, patients can expect to pay between €1,950 to €9,850 for this number of grafts.

For individuals with mild to moderate hair loss, 3200 grafts can often suffice to achieve a natural-looking full head of hair. The success of coverage depends on factors such as the recipient area size, existing hair density, and the patient’s hair characteristics.

However, for those with more advanced stages of hair loss, additional grafts may be necessary to ensure adequate coverage. A thorough consultation with a qualified hair transplant surgeon can provide insights tailored to individual needs.

Indeed, a 4600 grafts hair transplant may necessitate a larger donor area, as the extraction of substantial grafts must originate from a donor site that has abundant and healthy hair follicles.

Surgeons will carefully assess the donor area in advance to confirm that it will sustain the required number of grafts while maintaining the aesthetic appearance of the back and sides of the head.

Completing a 4600 grafts transplant can take anywhere from 7 to 12 hours; however, the duration can vary based on several factors, including patient comfort and the surgeon’s pace during the procedure.

Such intricacies underscore the need for effective planning and communication between the patient and the surgical team to ensure a smooth experience throughout the day.

While a 4600 graft hair transplant can be more complex due to the larger number of grafts, it is a procedure that experienced surgeons regularly perform. The increased volume requires careful attention and advanced techniques, but skilled teams are well-equipped to manage this complexity, ensuring optimal results and graft survival.

The cost of a 4,600 grafts hair transplant can vary widely depending on factors such as the clinic’s reputation, the surgeon’s expertise, and the country where the procedure is performed. Prices also fluctuate based on the technique used (FUE, DHI, or FUT) and the level of personalized care provided. On average, patients can expect to pay anywhere between €2,750 and €14,150, with costs typically being more affordable in destinations like Turkey compared to Western countries.

In many cases, 4600 grafts can achieve significant coverage for severe baldness, potentially restoring a natural and fuller appearance to the scalp. This number is particularly effective for individuals with extensive thinning or balding patterns.

Consulting with a qualified surgeon will help assess the specific needs and expectations, providing a clearer idea of achievable results.

It depends on how much of the beard area is being treated and how dense a result you want. Filling two patchy areas and building a full beard are very different plans.

The graft number is set at consultation after donor capacity is assessed, and it influences both the design and the price. Ourgraft calculatorgives a rough indication beforehand.

Follicles are extracted individually rather than as a strip. The donor area at the back of the scalp is therefore left with small round healing points rather than a linear scar. Once hair grows back to a short length, these are generally not noticeable.

In the beard area, the implantation points are very small and settle as healing completes. Visible donor marking is usually linked to over-harvesting, so if you wear your hair very short, raise it at consultation.

Suitability comes down to four things rather than one factor.

• Medical suitability — your general health, skin or scalp conditions affecting the treatment areas, and anything that may affect healing.
• Donor capacity — whether the back and sides of the scalp can supply enough grafts for the design without thinning the donor area.
• Beard-growth characteristics — how existing facial hair grows, its calibre and direction, and how well transplanted hair will blend with it.
• The underlying cause — patchy or absent growth from genetics, hormones or scarring behaves differently from a temporary or treatable cause.

A consultation assesses all four and confirms whether a beard transplant is the right step.

There is no fixed age limit. What matters is whether your facial hair pattern has settled and whether the cause of patchy growth has been established. Suitability is assessed on medical fitness, donor capacity and how your beard grows rather than on age.

The procedure typically takes 4 to 8 hours, depending on the number of grafts needed and the technique used (FUE or DHI). It’s a one-day outpatient procedure, and you can usually return to your hotel the same evening.

Transplanted follicles are taken from an area of the scalp that is not affected by pattern hair loss. Once they establish, they generally continue to grow long-term and can be shaved and trimmed like the rest of your beard.

A transplant does not change how your existing facial hair behaves, so results are best judged on the transplanted area itself.

FixedAbroad will give you a specific date, and it depends on how the grafts are settling. Shaving too early risks disturbing them, so follow the FixedAbroad’s timing rather than estimating.

Both FUE and DHI are used for beard work, and the choice depends on the case rather than on one method being better. FUE gives more flexibility when harvesting across a wider donor area. DHI implants each graft directly, which suits detailed work along a beard line. Your surgeon recommends one after assessing the donor area and agreed design.

Discomfort is reduced to a minimum thanks to local anesthesia and modern techniques. At FixedAbroad, we use the Comfort-In system to minimize pain during both the extraction and implantation phases. Most patients report only mild pressure or sensation during the procedure.

The duration of a hair transplant procedure depends on various factors, including the number of grafts needed and the chosen technique. On average, the procedure can take anywhere from 4 to 8 hours.

During the procedure, local anesthesia is used to minimize any discomfort. Most patients report only experiencing mild discomfort during the healing process.

The recovery time can vary depending on the individual and the technique used. Generally, patients can resume their normal activities within a few days to a week following the procedure.

Yes, the results of a hair transplant are considered permanent. The transplanted hair follicles are resistant to balding and will continue to grow in their new location.

While hair transplants offer a permanent solution to hair loss, it is important to acknowledge that the natural hair aging process continues. The transplanted hair will retain its characteristics and grow naturally, but it may also be subject to the same factors that cause natural hair to thin or lose its density over time. Several factors can influence the lifespan of transplanted hair, including:

• Age
• Genetics
• Hormonal changes
• Lifestyle factors

While age is an important consideration, it is not the sole determining factor. Hair loss patterns, overall health, and individual goals all play a role in determining the right time for a hair transplant. While some may experience thinning hair in their 20s, others may not see significant hair loss until their 50s. This variability underscores the importance of a thorough evaluation by a qualified professional to determine the most suitable timing for a hair transplant. Additionally, advancements in hair transplant techniques have made the procedure more accessible and effective for a wider range of individuals.

As with any surgical procedure, there are inherent risks involved. However, when performed by a skilled and experienced surgeon, complications are rare and side effects are generally mild and temporary.

The cost of a hair transplant in Turkey is significantly lower compared to many other countries. The total cost depends on factors such as the technique chosen, the location and reputation of the clinic, and the surgeon’s experience and reputation.

The cost of a hair transplant in Turkey typically ranges from €2,400 to €7,700 depending on various factors such as the number of grafts needed and the complexity of the procedure. This significant cost difference is primarily due to the lower cost of living and overhead expenses in Turkey. If you would like to learn more, check out hair transplant costs in Turkey.

While hair transplant surgery can be an effective solution for many individuals, it is essential to undergo a thorough consultation with a qualified surgeon to determine eligibility.

When selecting a hair transplant clinic in Turkey, it is crucial to consider factors such as the surgeon’s qualifications, the clinic’s reputation, past patient reviews, and the facilities available.

A hair transplant is a surgical procedure that involves taking hair follicles from a donor area (typically the back or sides of the head) and implanting them into areas with thinning or no hair.

The main techniques used in hair transplant surgery are Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE), Direct Hair Transplantation (DHI) and Stem Cell Hair Transplantation.

Neither is better in general — they suit different cases. DHI gives more direct control over how each graft is placed and can often be done without shaving the surrounding hair. FUE is usually more practical when a large area needs covering because it places more grafts in less time and costs less for the same graft count.

In practice, the method follows the plan. Once your surgeon has assessed your loss pattern and donor area, one of the two will usually be the better fit. For some patients, the methods may be combined in a single treatment plan.

There is no age at which DHI automatically becomes suitable or unsuitable. What matters is whether your hair loss has settled into a predictable pattern, whether the donor area can supply what the plan needs, and whether you are medically fit for the procedure.

Patients at an early stage of loss are sometimes advised to wait because active recession can leave gaps later. Older patients can also be good candidates when the loss pattern is stable and the donor area is strong. Timing is decided at consultation, based on your pattern rather than a number.

Often, yes. The deciding factor is what remains in the donor area. Your surgeon assesses the remaining donor density and how the first procedure was harvested, then decides whether there is enough supply to achieve a worthwhile improvement.

Repeat procedures are common — either to add density to an area treated previously or to cover hair that has continued to thin. Bring any records from your first procedure to consultation, including the graft count if you have it.

DHI is performed under local anaesthesia, so the scalp is numbed for the duration of the procedure. Most patients describe the anaesthetic injections as the least comfortable part. Some patients may experience mild discomfort or tightness in the scalp afterward, but this is temporary and manageable with prescribed pain relief.

DHI leaves no linear scar. Because follicles are extracted individually rather than as a strip of scalp, the donor area heals as small round points instead of a line, and no stitches are needed. These points are typically not noticeable once the surrounding hair grows back to a short length.

Visible donor thinning is generally a sign of over-harvesting — taking too many grafts from too small an area. If you wear your hair very short, say so at consultation because it changes how the donor area should be harvested.

The number of grafts placed in a single DHI session depends on donor capacity, the size of the treated area and the density you are aiming for. Because each follicle is implanted individually, DHI is generally planned around a lower graft count than a comparable FUE session. Larger cases may be staged across more than one session.

Your graft number is confirmed at consultation. For an estimate beforehand, use ourgraft calculator.

Yes. DHI often suits female hair loss well, because it can usually be planned without shaving the entire head. This technique allows for targeted implantation in thinning areas while preserving the existing hair, making it an ideal choice for female hair restoration.

Initial hair growth begins within three to four months, but the full results of a DHI hair transplant typically take 12 to 18 months. During this time, the transplanted hair will gradually thicken and blend naturally with the existing hair.

Expect some redness, mild swelling and scabbing in the recipient area in the first days after surgery. Because DHI opens no separate channels, there are no stitches to remove and the donor area heals as small individual points rather than a line.

Most patients return to desk work and everyday routines well before any visible hair growth. The transplanted hairs then shed. This is called shock loss; it is expected and does not mean the grafts have failed. The follicle stays in place and produces new hair over the following months.

Your aftercare instructions, washing routine and follow-up are set out by the clinical team.

DHI hair transplant is suitable for individuals experiencing hair loss or thinning who have a healthy donor area with sufficient hair follicles. It is ideal for those who want a high-density transplant without shaving their existing hair. A consultation with a specialist is required to determine eligibility.

In practice, four things decide whether DHI is the right choice for you:

• How stable your hair loss is. Transplanting into an area that is still actively receding can leave gaps as the surrounding hair continues to thin, so the pattern matters more than the calendar.
• Donor capacity. Hair at the back and sides is the available supply, and it is finite. Your surgeon assesses whether it can cover the area you want treated now and, if needed, later.
• Scalp condition. Active scalp conditions, inflammation or scarring in the recipient or donor area affect both the plan and timing.
• General medical suitability. Certain conditions and medications affect healing and need to be reviewed before surgery.

Transplanted hair is intended to be a long-term result. The follicles are taken from the donor area at the back and sides of the scalp, which is genetically less sensitive to the hormone that drives pattern hair loss. They keep that resistance after they are moved.

What a transplant does not do is stop hair loss elsewhere. Untransplanted hair can continue to thin, so the plan accounts for how your loss may progress rather than only how it looks today.

Transplanted brow hairs shed in the first weeks, which is expected. New growth then appears gradually over the following months rather than all at once, so the brow fills in progressively. Your doctor will explain what timeline is realistic for your case.

As with any minor surgical procedure, there are considerations to weigh. Not every graft survives, and a smaller follow-up session may sometimes be used to refine density or shape. Because the brow is small and highly visible, angle and design matter more than volume. Your doctor will explain the risks that apply to your case at consultation.

Yes. Because they’re taken from your scalp, transplanted eyebrow hairs grow like scalp hair — and may need occasional trimming. While all hair grows at a similar speed (about 0.25–0.3 mm per day), eyebrow hairs have a shorter growth cycle, typically around 30 days.

Possibly. It depends on the type of alopecia, whether it is active, and whether the donor area is healthy enough to supply grafts. Some conditions that cause eyebrow loss may respond to medical treatment and may not need a transplant. A consultation and, where needed, medical assessment will confirm whether the procedure is appropriate.

They do different things. Microblading and eyebrow tattooing apply pigment to the skin, so they change how the brow looks without adding hair and need repeating as the pigment fades. An eyebrow transplant adds your own growing hair, giving the brow the texture and dimension of real hair.

Which option suits you depends on how much brow hair you still have, the result you want and how permanent you want it to be.

Transplanted eyebrow hairs are your own. Once the follicles establish in the brow, they continue to grow there. Because the hair comes from the scalp, it generally keeps the characteristics of its donor site, including a long-term growth pattern that may require occasional trimming.

Downtime is short. Most patients are up and about straight away, with small crusts around the grafts and possibly mild swelling in the brow area during the first days. You will receive clear instructions on washing, sleeping position and what to avoid while the area settles.

While most patients make it to the final list of candidates for this procedure, there are specific considerations before giving the go-ahead. First, the patient’s medical condition needs to be stable to avoid any complications during the procedure. Some medical conditions that cause eyebrow loss, such as alopecia areata or frontal fibrosing alopecia, wherein oral medication provides good results, may not require transplantation. Hence, the doctor will judge candidacy based on thorough medical history or a biopsy. Hence, patients having scanty eyebrows due to genetics, overplucking, trauma, etc., are suitable candidates.

FixedAbroad also performs facial hair restoration for other areas, including beard transplant procedures using the same graft-by-graft approach.

No. Your eyebrows are not shaved. Only a small area of the donor site at the back of the scalp is trimmed, and it can usually be covered by surrounding hair.

Although male pattern baldness is more common, FUE can also be an effective solution for women experiencing hair loss. It allows for precise graft placement, making it suitable for both genders. For guidance specific to female pattern loss, see ourhair restoration for womenpage.

This concern usually comes from a misunderstanding of the healing process. Transplanted hairs commonly shed in the weeks after surgery — often called shock loss — before new growth begins. The follicles themselves remain in place. As regrowth comes through, coverage becomes progressively fuller and more even.

Most patients are back to everyday routines quickly, and the clinic performs a check and first wash before you travel home. Small scabs form around the implanted grafts and clear during the first days of healing, and some redness or mild swelling in the donor and recipient areas is normal early on.
Visible results take considerably longer than physical recovery. Early shedding is followed by gradual regrowth, with density continuing to develop through the first year. Your aftercare instructions matter most in the first weeks, when the grafts are still settling.

FUE is a well-established technique with a strong track record when it is properly planned and performed. Because the grafts are your own tissue, there is no risk of immune rejection. Outcomes depend on donor quality, how carefully grafts are handled between extraction and implantation, the experience of the surgical team, and how closely aftercare is followed.

For most patients today, FUE is the preferred option: it leaves no linear scar, healing is quicker, and it suits anyone who wears their hair short. FUT is rarely chosen now, though it can still be considered in specific cases where a very large number of grafts is needed in one session. The right answer depends on your donor area and how much coverage you need, which is what a consultation establishes.

The number of grafts required for a successful hair transplant varies based on individual needs and goals. Factors such as hair density, hair loss pattern, and the desired level of coverage play a crucial role in determining the number of grafts needed to achieve the desired results.

There is no fixed age limit, but timing matters more than age. Surgery performed while hair loss is still progressing quickly can look natural at first and less so as loss continues around it. Most surgeons prefer to wait until the pattern has stabilised. Suitability is assessed on hair type, the stage of hair loss and general health rather than on age alone.

Yes, we give a guarantee for after post-operative results, excepting health conditions or therapy that causes patients hair loss. In addition, patients should also follow the post-operative instructions given by the doctor.

Yes, it is. In FUE hair transplant, hair follicles are removed from the donor and placed into the recipient area. As a result, the results are natural, visible and long-lasting. A significant change in hair growth will be seen within a year in the transplanted area.

Contrary to this belief, FUE is usually performed under local anesthesia, ensuring minimal discomfort during the procedure. Most patients report only mild discomfort during the healing process.

After a hair transplant, grafts typically begin to stabilize within the first week. By days 10 to 14, much of the initial swelling and redness will have subsided, and the grafts become firmly integrated into the scalp. Most surgeons advise patients to avoid strenuous activities that could disrupt the grafts for at least two weeks post-operation.

Long-term, patients should be aware that newly implanted hair may shed temporarily before the growth cycle resumes, which is a normal part of the healing process. Check out the hair transplant recovery timeline for a detailed overview with hair transplant patients’ photos.

One of the most appealing aspects of hair grafting is its permanence. Once transplanted, the hair follicles are usually resistant to the factors that caused hair loss, meaning they can grow and thrive in their new location. However, it is vital for individuals to maintain realistic expectations, as new hair growth can take several months to appear.

Moreover, while the transplanted hairs are permanent, patients may experience continued hair loss in other areas. In such cases, follow-up procedures might be necessary to maintain a fuller look.

The number of grafts required for restoring the hairline can range from 600 to 2,000 grafts, depending on the extent of recession and desired density. A well-defined hairline can be achieved by strategically placing the grafts to create a natural transition between the hairline and the existing hair.

An experienced surgeon will often tailor the number of grafts to suit the aesthetic goals of the patient, ensuring the final appearance remains natural and in harmony with the rest of the hair.

On average, one graft can contain one to four hair follicles, depending on the thickness and density of the hair being harvested. Grafts that contain multiple follicles can be beneficial for creating a fuller appearance in areas requiring more coverage. Understanding the potential yield of each graft is vital for both patients and doctors during the planning process.

Yes, we give a guarantee for post-operative results, with the exception of hair loss or failed growth caused by other health conditions or therapies that cause patients additional hair loss. In addition, patients should also follow the post-operative instructions given by the doctor.

During the hair transplant process, grafts are collected from the donor area where the first half of the transplant will be performed. The grafts will be examined under the light of a microscope. Then, the grafts are separated by size. In most hair transplant clinics, the grafts are separated manually by hand. Considering 3-4 thousand hair grafts are typically prepare, the error rate for a manual separation can be high. Therefore, we use the MIC method, the hair grafts taken from the donor area are divided into groups containing 1, 2 and 3+ follicle groups with the help of the microscope. Only single grafts are transplanted to the front line of the hair. By using the MIC method, the mistake risk is minimized, and patients get the most natural results.

FixedAbroad’s top priorities are patient satisfaction and safety. FixedAbroad offers solutions tailored to the needs of patients in line with a fully personalized service approach, providing satisfactory and permanent results that provide a natural look. We will never recommend a hair transplant to patients who are not suitable for treatment.

When selecting a hair transplant clinic in Turkey, it is crucial to consider various factors. These include the qualifications and experience of the surgeons, the clinic’s reputation, patient reviews, before and after photos, and the clinic’s adherence to international quality and safety standards.

Furthermore, the location of the clinic can also play a role in your decision-making process. Clinics located in major cities or medical tourism hubs may have more experience dealing with international patients and providing services tailored to their needs. This can result in a smoother overall experience for individuals traveling to Turkey for a hair transplant.

Additionally, it is recommended to communicate directly with the clinic and ask specific questions about their procedures, facilities, and postoperative care. This ensures that you choose a clinic that provides comprehensive and personalized care. Feel free to schedule a consultation with us, where we can help you determine the best option for your needs.

Beyond the base procedure fee, several additional expenses can impact your total cost. Travel-related costs like flights, accommodation, transfers, and meals can add up—especially for international patients. Post-operative care, including medications, follow-up visits, and special aftercare products, may not always be included in the initial quote.

Surgeons might also recommend optional treatments such as PRP therapy or laser sessions to enhance results. Lastly, maintaining your new hair may require investing in specific shampoos and styling products.

To simplify budgeting and avoid surprises, FixedAbroad gives you a written quote for your treatment and aftercare, and we can recommend hotels near the clinic.

The simplest way to avoid surprises is to get your quotation in writing and confirm three things: what the price covers, what it does not, and whether it changes if your assessment revises the plan. Ask specifically about flights, extra accommodation nights, medication beyond the aftercare kit, and any optional treatment suggested at consultation.

The lower cost of hair transplant surgery in Turkey doesn’t equate to lower quality—especially when choosing reputable clinics. Many Turkish surgeons are internationally trained, performing hundreds of procedures each year with consistent, high success rates.

FixedAbroad maintains global standards by combining medical expertise with advanced techniques such as Sapphire FUE, Stem cell hair transplant, and DHI. Reputable clinics invest in modern equipment, follow strict hygiene protocols, and are accredited by the Turkish Ministry of Health—ensuring full regulatory compliance.

Strong patient reviews, documented before-and-after results, and transparent treatment plans further prove that affordability in Turkey can still mean world-class quality.

Turkey boasts a lower cost of living than most of the countries, like Germany, the US, or UK, resulting in reduced operational expenses for hair transplant clinics. Secondly, the country is home to numerous highly skilled and experienced hair transplant surgeons who offer their services at more affordable rates than counterparts in other regions. Lastly, Turkey’s streamlined medical procedures entail less bureaucratic hurdles, further diminishing the operational costs of hair transplant clinics.

Turkey’s lower hair transplant prices often raise concerns about quality—but affordable doesn’t mean substandard. Here’s why high-quality results are still possible at a lower cost:

• Lower Cost of Living: Clinics face lower rent, wages, and operational costs.
• Skilled Workforce: A large number of experienced surgeons keep pricing competitive.
• Streamlined Regulations: Less bureaucracy reduces clinic overhead.
• Favorable Exchange Rates: Makes the procedure more affordable for international patients.

You’ll receive an aftercare kit with essential products and up to 18 months of WhatsApp support from specialists. Kit includes shampoo, conditioner, vitamins, optional finasteride, painkillers, and a neck pillow.

The required stay depends on your location, and we can recommend hotels near the clinic:

• USA, Canada, Australia—3 nights’ stay
• UK / Europe—2 nights’ stay

No, at FixedAbroad, you receive the maximum number of grafts necessary for your procedure at a fixed price, ensuring the best possible results without extra costs.

Turkey is popular for hair transplant surgery due to its long history of performing successful hair transplant surgeries. The country is also well-known for its adoption of the Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) technique, which is less invasive compared to other hair transplant techniques. Turkey is also a popular destination for medical tourism, with many patients traveling to the country to receive hair transplant surgery due to its affordability and high-quality services. According to recent statistics, around 1 million people came to Türkiye and spent approximately $2 billion on hair transplants in 2022 per the head of the Turkish Health Tourism Association.

No. It redistributes hair you already have. Native hair can continue to thin around the transplanted area, which is why the plan accounts for how your hair loss is likely to progress. Some patients use medical treatment alongside surgery to slow ongoing loss.

Physical healing takes days; visible results take months. Scabs clear in the first week or so, while the transplanted hair sheds and regrows over the following months — see the recovery timeline above for the full sequence.

Yes, women can undergo hair transplantation, especially in cases of genetic hair loss or thinning. The approach may differ slightly from male procedures.

There is no fixed age, but most experts recommend waiting until hair loss stabilizes, typically after the mid-20s.

Yes, most patients can safely travel within a few days after a hair transplant in Turkey, as long as they follow post-operative instructions.

Initial recovery takes about 7–10 days, while the full healing and growth process can take up to 12 months.

Yes, but only temporarily. This phase, known as shock loss, is normal. The follicles remain intact and begin producing new hair within a few months.

A properly performed hair transplant is considered a long-term solution. Transplanted follicles are resistant to DHT, which means they typically last a lifetime. However, existing hair may continue to thin over time.

The best way to get a hair transplant in Turkey is to look around for the highest rated clinics on google. After choosing a couple clinics that you think you would like, you should set up a consultation appointment with each of them. You will learn what treatment type is best for you, how much coverage you will need, what’s included in each clinic’s packages, and how much it will cost. You can then select which clinic best suits your financial and medical needs. Hopefully, FixedAbroad will be the right choice for you.

Anyone can have a hair transplant at anytime. However, wintertime is a popular time for patients to have a hair transplant, as there is less heat and sun exposure than during the summertime. If you would rather avoid a busy clinic, then summer might be the right choice for your appointment date.

At FixedAbroad we recommend having a consultation and booking your appointment at a minimum of 1-2 months ahead. There isn’t any particular time of year to have a hair transplant either. Check out for more info at When is the Best Time of Year for a Hair Transplant in Istanbul?
