Hair transplant in Antalya costs and issues to consider

One of the most important aspects to take into account before coming to Antalya or Istanbul is that you will have to book a trip to Turkey for several days, depending on your country of origin and the duration of your flight to one of our Turkish cities.

The cost of the flights and the accommodation will be calculated in addition to the one for the hair transplant procedure, which depends on the number of used grafts and the transplant method.

The hair transplant cost in Turkey is lower when compared to Western European countries or locations such as Canada or the United States. However, this does not mean that the standard of care is lower – on the contrary. Turkey has a long-standing reputation as a medical tourism destination and getting a hair transplant in Antalya is popular.

Below, our team briefly outlines some of the costs per number of grafts you can take into account:

The cost per graft can start at 1.25 USD in Turkey;
Most patients benefit from natural and satisfactory results after a hair transplant procedure in which about 2,000 grafts were used;
This means that hair transplant in Istanbul or Antalya can start at around USD 2,500 for 2,000 grafts.

The surest way to get an estimate of the cost for the hair transplant procedure is to get in touch with our team for an initial assessment.

General FAQ about hair transplants

Whether you choose to schedule an appointment at our clinic in Istanbul or in Antalya, there are some questions that are common among patients and that might interest you in advance. We offer answers to these below, but feel free to reach out to us if you have other issues that interest you or that relate to your situation.

What are some medical conditions that could affect my hair transplant procedure?

Chronic diseases like diabetes, improperly medicated blood pressure, or some autoimmune disorders may pose certain challenges given the patient’s underlying medication requirements (such as slower healing in case of diabetes or being more at risk of complications during surgery for hypertensive patients). Discussing your medical history during the consult is a key step when you schedule an appointment with our experts in hair transplant in Turkey.

How will I know what procedure to choose?

You do not have to worry about making a wrong choice when it comes to choosing between FUE or FUT transplant or using the DHI technique. Our experienced hair transplant doctors will provide you with the needed information and will present you with the most suitable choice for your case, depending on your type of hair, the level of hair loss, and other factors such as donor hair availability.

Is it true that my transplanted hair will fall off before growing again?

Yes. Shedding is a normal part of the hair transplant process, and it can occur sometime between two and eight weeks after the procedure. This is not concerning, and it does not mean that the transplant was unsuccessful. New hairs will start to grow back in the same place, and it will continue to do so. Within about 8 to 12 months after the surgery, you will be enjoying the final results of the transplant.

Are hair transplants very expensive?

While a complete breakdown of the hair transplant cost in Turkey is only accurate after the initial consult, we do want people to know that this cosmetic procedure has lower overall costs in Turkey, compared to other European countries, the United States, Canada, or other countries.

Why should I choose Antalya?

As mentioned in this article, Turkey is a preferred location for those looking to book a hair transplant appointment. Both Antalya and Istanbul are excellent choices; however, flying to this destination may mean having more choices in terms of additional experiences, as the region is known to be sunnier and to promote a more vacation-like atmosphere, being located on the Mediterranean Sea.
