Turkey is one of the best destinations for hair transplant surgery in the world. There are numerous well-qualified surgeons for the procedure. However, there are also substandard centers. As a patient, you must make a good choice. How do you then identify the best doctor for your surgery?
Your main aim now is to identify the top affordable hair transplant centers. First, do your research on the internet. Check for the leading hair restoration clinics; you can better get information on the top hair loss forums and medical tourism websites. Read patient’s experiences, eliminating the ones with bad reviews. List the top 10 of them.
Next, you need to eliminate the top ten names to only one choice. Start with going through the surgeon’s websites. Please read carefully to see how their procedures are done. Then, go through there before and after photos, patient testimonials, price list, language, and even aspects like their location. From this information, you can eliminate 5 Clinics.
Now you have 4 choices to eliminate. First, contact the clinic by either phone or email. Response time and the ability to communicate with the patient answering all their questions satisfactorily is significant. Most of the good centers have a form for online consultation. Fill in that form and send the photos for their evaluation.
Eliminate the hair transplant centers that will not communicate within your time limit or those who will not answer your questions. Their knowledge and experience will be evident by their way of communication. If they are trying to rush you to make a decision, do not give in fast. Take your time to consider seriously. Use your instinct to select only the people you feel most comfortable with.
Now you probably have 3 choices left. Here is the big question. Has the clinic offered you unrealistic expectations like “6,000 grafts in one session” or too many grafts, yet you have a poor donor area? The average number of grafts that can be extracted in a day is around 3500 grafts. Too much graft extraction in one session can be a tremendous mistake as it reduces graft survival and limits your donor grafts for any future Hair transplant in Turkey if needed. Choose the ones that tell you the most practical information.
Next, consider the cost. How much is the price per graft? A good clinic will have a price range of 0.8€ -2€ per graft in Turkey. More than that could be a rip-off if you are not careful. Less than that might be substandard. The average price of 1-1.5€ per graft is acceptable. Clinics that would recommend 5000 grafts for 2€ per graft are costly and unrealistic grafts per session. Centers, which offer you extra services to spend on, like PRP or other related services, are simply marketing. As far as scientific research is, concerned PRP is yet to be proven effective for hair transplants. It may or may not make a difference, and it is not tremendous if there is a difference. Please do not go for anyone trying to make as much money as he can from you.
Lastly, what is the whole package that is being offered? Most clinics provide hotel accommodation for 2-3 nights and airport transfers. Medication should also be included. Do not expect complete board booking in a 5-star hotel, because you are not going for a holiday. However, the hotel must be at least 3 or 4 stars. One very crucial factor is the follow-up after surgery. The clinic must guarantee that they will continuously check up on your case until your entire hair grows. After the surgery, they should receive your calls and answer your emails once you are back home. They should provide full support until you see your results and even be willing to do a correction surgery if anything goes wrong.
