Hair transplantation is a natural and permanent solution to the problem of thinning and baldness in people with hair loss or hair loss. The process of transferring healthy hair follicles to areas where the hair follicle is no longer active and where balding occurs, using microsurgical methods is called hair transplantation.
In hair transplantation, the patient’s own healthy hair is added to the spilled area. Hair transplantation is planned and applied completely individually. With the hair transplantation operation, the hair follicles that are resistant to shedding are collected in the nape area of the patient and transplanted into the channels opened in the thinning or completely shedding parts. Aim; It is to give a permanent hairy appearance in a natural way that will not be obvious when the planting is done in the head area. Hair transplantation is actually a minor surgical operation. For this reason, it is the safest way to do it in a hospital environment by specialist and experienced doctors and team. With the hair transplantation application, the person’s own hair is permanently gained as if it has never been lost. Our aim in hair transplantation; It is to restore the natural hair look to the person in a comfortable way with modern medical applications.
What Causes Hair Loss?
Hair loss is due to genetic causes in many cases. In some cases, it can also occur as a result of aging, traumatic injuries, or various medical conditions. Regardless of the reason, hair transplantation is known as a feasible procedure for every individual who has enough hair follicles in his body. Hair transplantation can be successfully applied against the loss of eyebrows, beards or other areas where hair is expected, as well as the head area.
How is hair transplantation done?
In practice, hair follicles taken from the nape are transplanted to the targeted bald area. These hair follicles taken are called grafts. In rare cases, there is not enough healthy hair in the neck or temple area of the person. In such cases, hair follicles can be taken from other parts of the person that contain hair, such as the arms or chest wall. The application takes place in a few hours depending on the amount of hair loss. If the balding area is very large, several sessions may be required to complete the treatment. Generally, the intervention is performed under local anesthesia with sedation. After hair transplantation, a special bandage is applied to the head. The person is discharged after 1-2 hours. Although it is very rare, pain relief is controlled with painkillers. Generally, after 3 days of home rest, it is possible to return to business life with the head covered. The first dressing is done on the 5th day.
Preparations Before Hair Transplantation
It is important that you first consult with your doctor about this operation and before you decide on the operation, it is important to get information about which operation is appropriate, whether you meet the necessary conditions, the healing process and its risks.

The most important issues that we face in the next process are:
Physician selection
Since hair transplant surgery is a meticulous procedure, it should be performed by experienced physicians in order to achieve a successful result and to prevent unnecessary correction operations. You can also get information about the technique to be used by interviewing your doctor before the operation.
Things to consider
In this process, there are some rules recommended by your doctor, which you must follow and follow. These:
- If you smoke, you should stop or reduce smoking a while before the surgery by consulting your doctor.
- In the last week before the operation, pay attention to a healthy diet and not to consume alcohol.
- Inform your physician of the medications, herbs and supplements you have been using recently. For example, some drugs (such as aspirin) may cause post-operative bleeding. For this reason, you should strictly follow your doctor’s recommendations. In this context, drugs that can slow blood clotting and drugs prohibited by your doctor should not be used.
- Any spray, gel, etc. for your hair. You should not use styling products.
- Heavy exercises should not be done the day before the hair transplant procedure.
Does the transplanted hair fall out after hair transplantation?
The transplanted hair falls out within a few weeks following the transplant process; but this is normal. Because the shed hair will grow back after 3-4 months. After this temporary shedding is resolved, the transplanted hair follicles preserve their character and do not fall out. However, the original hair in the same area may continue to shed over time, and a new hair transplant may be planned in the future depending on the decrease in hair density. Post-surgery hair loss may continue progressively. Especially if an unnatural appearance occurs in the new hairline area, an additional surgical intervention may be required in the future.
