Best Hair Transplant Before and After Results in Turkey | Dr. Serkan Aygin

The journey from the immediate post-operative phase to the final density takes approximately 12 months. Our clinical expertise ensures minimal discomfort and optimal healing throughout this hair transplant recovery timeline. Below, we detail the step-by-step progress you will observe after your procedure.

10 Days After Hair Transplant

The first 10 days after your hair transplant are the most crucial healing period. By day 10, all crusts and scabs should be completely shed, revealing a clean recipient area.

• What You See: Small, dark scabs around the grafts will disappear. The donor area will show significant healing, though slight redness may persist.
• Key Care: Strict adherence to the special washing protocol is mandatory to ensure all scabs are removed without dislodging the newly transplanted follicles. The grafts are generally considered secure after this period.
• Aygin’s Note: Minimal swelling may occur in the first few days but should subside quickly. Strictly follow all aftercare instructions!

2 Months After Hair Transplant: the Shedding Phase

The period around 2 months after a hair transplant is often the most challenging emotionally for patients, as the transplanted hairs begin to shed. This is a normal part of the process, as follicles enter their resting (telogen) phase.

• The Shock Loss: Expect the transplanted hairs to fall out. This is a temporary “shock loss” reaction, and the transplanted hair root remains beneath the skin.
• What Happens Next: After the shedding is complete, the follicles enter a dormant state before initiating new, healthy growth (anagen phase) around months 3-4.

2 Months After DHI and Female Hair Transplant

DHI is the preferred hair transplant method at the Dr. Serkan Aygin Clinic and widely considered the best method available overall.

• 2 Months After DHI Hair Transplant: Due to the direct implantation method (DHI), some patients may experience less visible shock loss or a shorter shedding period compared to FUE, but shedding is still highly common.
• 2 Months After Female Hair Transplant: Women often experience more generalized temporary thinning surrounding the donor or recipient areas (effluvium). This is temporary and resolves as new hair starts growing.

6-Months Hair Transplant Before and After: Growth and Density

The 6-months hair transplant before and after mark is the point where you truly start to enjoy the transformation. New hair growth accelerates rapidly, becoming thicker and longer.

• Growth Status: Approximately 50-70% of the final density is typically achieved by this stage. The new hair will still be relatively fine but is quickly maturing.
• Visual Impact: The difference between your pre-operative status and this phase is dramatic. You will be able to style your hair and observe a considerable improvement in coverage and hairline definition.
• Crucial Phase: Continue taking any prescribed supplements (e.g., Biotin, PRP) to support the health and thickness of the emerging hair shafts.

12-Months: Final Hair Transplant Results

The 12-month mark signals the successful completion of the primary hair growth cycle. This is when the final hair transplant results are assessed by Dr. Aygin’s team.

• Density and Texture: Approximately 90–95% of the final density has been reached. The texture and color of the transplanted hair will fully integrate with your native hair.
• Assessment: Your 12-month follow-up consultation confirms the success of the 98%+ graft survival rate and ensures satisfaction with the final aesthetic result.
• Beyond 12 Months: While the majority of growth is complete, the hair will continue to mature and thicken slightly up to 18 months, especially in the crown area.

How Does a Hair Transplant Work?

A hair transplant is a minor surgical procedure where hair follicles are harvested from the donor area (typically the back of the head) and transplanted into the areas where hair thinning or loss has occurred. This process is a permanent solutionto androgenic alopecia (male pattern baldness). With Dr. Serkan Aygin’s 28 years of experience, the focus is always on achieving natural-looking density, optimal angle, and direction for seamless integration.

FUE vs DHI Techniques: Which is Best for Me?

The FUE vs DHI dilemma is the greatest for hair transplant patients. The primary distinction between the modern methods lies in the implantation stage. Dr. Aygin’s team is specialized in both DHI and FUE Sapphire, ensuring the technique chosen is perfectly tailored to your hair loss pattern and aesthetic goals.

Expert Recommendation: While DHI offers superior precision for maximizing density and angle control, FUE may be recommended for cases requiring a very large number of grafts. During your free consultation, Dr. Aygin will personally recommend the optimal technique based on your donor capacity and target density.

Specialized Hair Transplants for Unique Needs

Hair loss is not exclusive to the scalp, nor is it exclusive to men. Dr. Aygin’s clinic specializes in targeted procedures for women and facial hair, demanding unique skill and aesthetic judgment to achieve undetectable, natural-looking results.

Hair Transplant for Women

Hair loss in women presents unique challenges, often involving diffuse thinning rather than complete balding. The approach of a hair transplant for women requires maximum care to protect existing hair and address aesthetic priorities.

• Unique Challenge: Protecting the existing hair and often avoiding a full head shave.
• Preferred Technique: DHI is frequently utilized as it allows for implantation between existing hairs with minimal damage and often requires only a small “window” shaven in the donor area.
• Goal: To restore density to the part line and temporal areas, creating a completely natural and full appearance without disrupting the existing hairstyle.

Beard and Eyebrow Transplant: Facial Hair Restoration

Facial hair restoration requires a meticulous approach that is completely different from the scalp. The angle (which is often very shallow) and direction of the hair must match the natural facial contours perfectly to avoid a “pluggy” appearance.

• Beard Transplant: Utilizes FUE from the donor area (usually the neck/under the chin or the back of the scalp) to fill patches or define the jawline and cheek lines.
• Eyebrow Transplant: The most aesthetically demanding procedure. Follicles must be extracted extremely carefully and implanted at a near-flat angle to replicate the natural, soft sweep of the eyebrows. Aygin’s mastery in this area ensures that the transplanted hairs follow the natural growth pattern precisely.

Complementary Treatments

To maximize the health of the transplanted and existing hair, the Dr. Serkan Aygin Clinic offers cutting-edge complementary treatments. Furthermore, we maintain a clear stance on the role of technology in achieving superior human results.

Stem Cell Hair Treatment

Stem cell hair therapy (often combined with Platelet-Rich Plasma – PRP) is a powerful, non-surgical treatment used to enhance the vitality and growth of both the donor and recipient areas.

• How it Works: Stem cells are harvested from the patient’s own tissue (usually fat or blood) and processed to isolate growth factors. When injected into the scalp, these factors stimulate blood flow, revitalize dormant follicles, and significantly improve the quality and thickness of the hair.
• Usage in Clinic: We often recommend stem cell applications as part of the aftercare protocol to ensure the highest potential for graft survival and to accelerate the recovery and growth phases.

Robotic Hair Transplant

While robotic systems (like ARTAS) are highly automated, Dr. Aygin’s extensive clinical experience has demonstrated that manual precision yields superior aesthetic results.

• Limitations of Robotics: Robots are excellent at repetitive tasks but lack the judgment and aesthetic intuition necessary to select the optimal follicular units (based on multi-hair grafts) and to precisely manage the angle/depth required for a truly natural, high-density result.
• Aygin’s Philosophy: Our technique relies on the unparalleled experience of the surgeon and the team to guarantee minimal trauma, maximum graft survival, and the creation of a natural hairline that technology cannot yet replicate.

How Much Does a Hair Transplant Cost?

The science behind hair transplantation is elegantly simple yet requires extreme surgical precision: the permanent redistribution of healthy, robust hair follicles. Hair transplant costs vary drastically worldwide, driven not only by the surgeon’s skill, but also by operational overhead.

How Much Does a Hair Transplant Cost in Turkey?

The final hair transplant cost in Turkey is calculated based on the complexity of your specific case, including the extent of your baldness (Norwood Scale), the required number of grafts, and the chosen technique (FUE vs. DHI). However, clinics in Turkey, including ours, operate almost exclusively through all-inclusive package pricing to offer the best value and eliminate hidden fees. The average price of a hair transplant in Turkey is $3,000 to $5,000 in 2026.

Factors Determining Price:

1. Technique: DHI procedures are often priced slightly higher than standard FUE due to the specialized equipment (Choi Pen) and the intense focus required during the simultaneous implantation phase.
2. Graft Count: While some clinics charge per graft, Dr. Aygin’s packages often include a maximized graft count to ensure optimal density without incremental charges.
3. Surgeon Involvement: Pricing reflects the guaranteed involvement of the award-winning surgeon and their specialized team, which is a critical quality differentiator.
