How your hair transplant plan works, from photos to aftercare
Key takeaways
- You can start with photos on WhatsApp, before any travel.
- A licensed doctor reviews your photos and confirms the plan.
- Your plan should be in writing: method, hairline design, what is included and the price.
- Aftercare continues after you go home, with photo reviews.
Step 1: send your photos
Send clear photos in daylight: front, top, back and both sides of your head. Add a short note about how long you have lost hair, past treatments and any health conditions or medicines.
Step 2: doctor review
A licensed doctor studies your donor area, the pattern of your hair loss and what you want to achieve. If you are not a good candidate, a responsible clinic tells you so.
Step 3: your written plan
The plan describes the suggested method, the hairline design, what the price includes and what is not included. Compare plans on the same basis: ask what is included in each one.
Step 4: treatment and aftercare
Treatment takes place in Istanbul. You then receive a written aftercare plan and follow-up photo reviews, so you can ask questions after you travel home.
Warning signs
- A price or a graft number promised without anyone reviewing your hair.
- Pressure to decide quickly, or a discount that expires today.
- No clear answer about who plans the hairline and who performs the treatment.
- No written plan or aftercare information.
