FUE Transplant in Turkey Antalya Cost
FUE hair transplantation (or follicular unit extraction) is a hair restoration technique where the surgeon extracts and implants hair follicles one by one.
The surgeon removes healthy follicles from the donor area located at the back and sides of the head. These areas are not affected by male pattern baldness because the hair is not sensitive to the DHT hormone.
The extracted hair is then implanted in new areas to increase its density.
These techniques enjoy great popularity because they are minimally invasive and performed on an outpatient basis.
Unlike previous FUT (strip) surgeries, it does not leave a large horizontal scar on the donor sites. And, performed by experts, these surgeries offer high success rates and dense, natural results.
Hair loss shortens the life cycle of follicles. During the process, the hairs begin to miniaturize: they gradually become finer and shorter. Eventually, the follicle becomes unable to grow hair.
During an FUE hair transplant, surgeons restore hair density by implanting new follicles in areas affected by hair loss.
Although the FUE method is also suitable for body hair transplantation, in most cases hair follicles are harvested from the occipital area of the head. Also, these are resistant to the DHT hormone responsible for hair loss in men.
The implanted follicles become anchored in the tissue and after a few weeks, the hair starts growing again.
FUE hair transplant procedures are minor, minimally invasive operations performed under local anesthesia.
The procedures usually last 6 to 8 hours, depending on the number of hairs to be transplanted.
Here is what you can expect on the day of your operation:
This technique is an outpatient procedure, so you will return home once the procedure is complete. Once the local anesthesia wears off, the scalp may be tense or a little sore. It usually lasts a few hours and can be managed with pain medication if needed.
For the first few days, you can expect redness, itching, slight swelling and crusting.
Although your recovery will be quick, it is essential that you follow the post-operative instructions to ensure optimal regrowth.
The implanted hair will fall out between weeks 4 and 12. This is a normal part of the process. You can expect to see new growth from 3-4 months after the operation.
The density will gradually improve; the result will be complete 12 to 18 months after surgery.

The proceeds to the removal of a certain number of hairs – grafts – in the area of the rear crown. Because in this place the hair never falls. These hair implants are then grafted towards the upper part, where baldness is apparent.
FUE hair transplantation is at the forefront of progress in the fight against baldness. This technique of hair implants allows to have very good results for a hair transplant without a long linear scar.
The hair transplant procedure can sometimes cause some complications such as local infections, scalp bleeding, or even damaged hair during the operation due to manipulations.
