You must be wondering why hair transplant in Turkey?

In recent times, Turkey has emerged as the most preferred destination for hair transplant. You will be surprised to know that hair transplant in Turkey is a billion dollar industry with thousands of patients coming here every month.

Don’t be amazed!

Turkey has attained this top slot for a number of reasons but the main being cheap hair transplant cost in Turkey.  Usually, hair restoration surgery in the developed countries is way too high and you will have to pay more than $18000 for your procedure. However, you can get this procedure for $2000 in Turkey. That’s a vast difference don’t you think.

I am sure you must be wondering about the quality of treatment. Let me assure you that you will get the best treatment for your hair transplant in Turkey as they have the world-best surgeons practicing here who have immense knowledge and expertise in this field.

Apart from this, in Turkey, hair transplant clinics are well-equipped with the latest infrastructure and use the most advanced techniques when it comes to hair restoration.

With the amount of surgery being carried out on the daily basis, the surgeons here have a lot of experience and are able to produce the best results.

What to expect regarding hair transplant cost in Turkey?

Well, as I mentioned earlier, affordable hair transplant cost in Turkey was the main reason why I choose to come here for treatment. I was plagued with severe hair loss for some years and over a period of time, I developed a bald patch in my crown area.

All this really freaked me out! I was just 28 years old, I tried everything to stop the hair loss, be it different shampoos or topical ointments like Rogaine which is a hair growth drug or a variety of oils and home remedies, but sadly nothing worked.

Hair transplant did cross my mind, but I could not afford the exorbitant cost of it in Britain. I was really heartbroken and depressed. Once while surfing the net in search of an economical solution for hair loss, I came across advantage of hair transplant in Turkey.

I got to know that nowadays it is no big deal in going to another country for medical treatment in order to save money. On further research, I realized that Turkey was considered a heaven for hair transplant surgery for its advanced treatment options and low hair transplant cost in Turkey.

It really intrigued me and I got in contact with a few renowned hair transplant clinics to understand the process and their pricing. While searching for the best clinics I realized there were more than 300 hair transplant clinics in Istanbul alone.

Whew! Hair transplant is a big thriving industry in Turkey.

The clinics which I got in touch with were very professional and some of them were JCI accredited. They provided me with all the details and I even shared my photos with them to get an estimate on hair transplant cost in Turkey.

I was shocked when I was told the hair transplant cost in Turkey.

I was informed that I will have to pay around $2000 for hair transplant.

Want to know the best part!

Hair transplant cost in Turkey also includes a number of services completely free. Like inclusive of the surgery you are also provided with free accommodation at a good hotel, have a pickup to and from the airport and clinic in a luxury car, service of a translator and many clinics also offer free of cost sight-seeing.

I was delighted! I zeroed down on the best hair transplant clinic after reading reviews of several centers and researching on various hair transplant surgeons.

I just could not wait any longer and after fixing my appointment for surgery at the earliest available date I flew to Turkey for my hair restoration surgery.

My surgery for hair transplant in Turkey

On reaching Turkey, I was taken for consultation with the doctor. At the clinic I saw several patients, some of whom had undergone surgery, some had come for follow-up and others had come for consultation like me.

The clinic was ultra-modern, fitted with the latest equipment and on meeting the doctor I felt reassured that I had made the right decision. He was very warm and attentive. He analyzed my scalp and briefly told me about the procedure.

They were going to perform FUE hair transplant technique which is the latest procedure and gives amazing results. With FUE, you are assured best results, quick recovery and no visible scars. For hair transplant in Turkey, FUE is the most widely used procedure.

Finally, the day of my surgery arrived

I was so nervous. Seeing my state the surgeon had a small talk with me to relax my nerves and calm me down.

I was given local anesthesia on my scalp so that I may not feel any pain. Then the surgeon started removing the hair follicles one by one with the help of the motorized punch from the donor area which is the back and sides of the head.

There was no pain and I was busy seeing a movie. After extraction, I was given a short break so that I could have lunch and move about so as to stretch my legs.

After the break, the surgeon started implanting the grafts in the slits in the recipient area which was prepared beforehand. Luckily there was no pain but I could feel the pressure they applied on my scalp while transplanting the grafts.

Eventually, after around 7 hours the hair transplant session was over and I heaved a sigh of relief. Though the procedure was not actually painful it is natural to be tense in such situation.

The doctor had prescribed antibiotics to fight off infection and painkillers. I was briefed about the potential side-effects during my initial consultation and was relieved to know that there were no permanent and major complications. Minor side-effects like swelling, bruising, itching and pain will subside within a few days.

Care post hair transplant in Turkey

The best part of hair transplant procedure is that it does not need extra care and precaution. We just have to follow the basic routine of avoiding going out in the sun and keeping our head covered with a hat so as to protect it from dust and pollution.

For a few days, the doctor advised me to sleep in an upright position so that the swelling subsides and the grafts are protected. I had to keep the scalp clean by shampooing regularly.

Am I satisfied with my hair transplant in Turkey?

You bet! I have never been this happy. I realized my dream of having hair restoration; I am a few months away from having a head full of hair. Thanks to Turkey for making my dream come true. The surgeon was great and they have done a good job. I can see my new hairline and it brings me immense joy.

My family and friends are also so excited seeing my new hairline and many of them have already planned to go for hair transplant in Turkey.

Even I am promoting Turkey for hair transplant to all my acquaintances as I feel everybody should get a chance to regrow their hair and hair transplant cost in Turkey is so affordable that most of us can opt for it.”

The first procedure to confirm pregnancy is the hormone test performed 12-15 days after the transfer of the embryos to the uterus, or the heartbeats heard in the first ultrasound examination performed after 3-4 weeks. Many couples may think that they will certainly have children after the result of this test. However, in order to think of a successful result in the treatment of IVF, the couple should be able to deliver their healthy babies. This rate, expressed as the “delivery of healthy baby” rate, is the most important numerical indicator showing the real success of the centers that offer IVF treatment. This is because, there are also lots of centers which performs relatively low “delivery of healthy baby” rate although it displays satisfying pregnancy rates after hormone testings.

Another mistake that is generally made when evaluating success rates of a center is to consider the results, which is obtained  by interviewee or physician, over patient populations with a high chance of success. In fact, both the pregnancy rate and the rate of “delivery of healthy baby” during the treatment of IVF can vary,  considering the conditions such as the age of the woman during treatment, ovarian reserve, sperm quality, the presence of previous trials and being a carrier of a genetic disease. The most important issue to consider when evaluating the success rates of a center where couples will be treated is the realistic pregnancy and “delivery of healthy baby” rates given to them.

Because of all these reasons, Venus Care brings you together with expert teams who make realistic approaches and professionally determine the personalized treatment program. In this way, under the roof of Venus Care, you have a chance to be protected from the fertility centers that offer unrealistic promises.

The biggest reasons why this issue is on the front burner are the couples who do not have any chance to observe the stages within these processes and the negative news regarding this issue in the foreign press.

However, Venus Care guarantees that your egg / sperm cells or embryos are not misplaced with others’ in order to make you feel safe and to keep your embryos safe.

For this purpose, our business partners follow your past and current medical treatment process in detail and keep your information in an electronic environment, which is accessible only to medical personnel who have contacted you. Your own specific indicators / information are used at every stage from the collection of your reproductive cells (eggs and sperm) for treatment to the transfer of the embryos to the uterus. Necessary controls and verifications are made in three stages as written, verbal and colored. After the information of the person / couple to be treated is verified, the next stage is started. All disposable materials used in the treatment are only used for the specified person or couple thanks to the special barcoding systems. In addition, thanks to the barcoding system, the risk of confusing your eggs and sperms is eliminated.

What is more, our contracted company in Los Angeles provides you with the opportunity to follow the formation process of your embryo at any time with the QR code they give you.

In addition, the questions you should ask yourself when trying to find a reliable hair transplant center should be:

• What is the power of the institution that will serve you in the media?
• Do you often see advertisements and different doctors of that institution  in visual or written media?
• Do you see that a single doctor always repeats the same issue exactly in the same way?
• In addition to giving you detailed information during your interview with the doctor, are you provided with hair and scalp analysis services and, if necessary, a blood test?
• Can they explain the reasons why you are eligible or not eligible for hair transplant?
• Can they explain the reasons for your hair loss?
• Does the person who has met you on the phone also participate in your face-to-face interview and participate in your operation?
• How can a hair transplant center in such a situation give you a good service?
• Can the institution where you will receive service provide hotel, hospital, clinic and all transportation services within Istanbul during the operation period?
• After serving you, do they call you periodically and tell you they would like to know about the condition of your hair?

As Venus Care, our difference as an institution is to offer the subjects we have mentioned above in the best way without taking into account the languages, religions, races, genders and most importantly economic differences of our customers.

For example, hair transplant centers, which say that it is only our center that uses “microtrans” or “one by one” methods, clearly and deliberately deceive those who are trying to obtain information about transplant operations. In fact, what they are talking about is the synonym of the FUE technique. Or, you may encounter with people who say “we use manual collection, which is a better method, in our center”. Whereas, in fact, in FUE method, two different types of  graft collection techniques are applied by using manual and micro-motor. Manual collection is a collection form which is done before micro-motor and can be achieved by every hair transplant center. The centers, which make such a statement to the clients, should be known that they consist of teams that cannot make collection by using micro motors.

Another known deceptive discourse is the information that more than 4000 grafts can be transplanted within a day. Because the grafts taken from the donor area cannot be left out for a long time, and then they are transplanted by means of planned method to the area on which PRP is applied, in practice which is not possible. For example; you should know that the companies that have committed the transplant of  6000 grafts  cannot fulfill what they say in such conditions.

In order to prevent your hair transplant decision from becoming a disappointment, please do not prefer insufficient centers by believing flowery and deceptive statements as mentioned above.

Turkey is very developed in hair transplant and it draws considerable interest of foreign tourists for this aesthetic operation. According to the recent data on tourism, 60.000 people visited Turkey for hair transplant last year. There are many reasons that Turkey is preferred for this procedure.

The price for hair transplant in Turkey is much more reasonable than in the other countries. The lower price is not the only secret for Turkey’s success, because Turkey also holds the first position in hair transplant in terms of level of expertise and technological facilities. One of the most important reasons why Turkey is preferred for hair transplant is that methods used in Turkey reduces the healing process. Furthermore, Turkish surgeons conduct overseas research and contribute to various studies on hair transplant with the technology and advanced solutions they use.

The surrogacy is a method that is legally used in many countries across the world. There are many women in many countries that do surrogacy as a profession and earn money with this method. However, in a number of countries such as Turkey, only one of the relatives is allowed to be a surrogate mother in order to avoid this method to become a monetary instrument.

In Turkey, the mother of a child is considered a woman that has “given birth to” that child in accordance with Turkish law. According to applicable laws, whoever gives birth to a child shall be considered the mother of that child, regardless of the person or people having the sperms or eggs.

Countries where surrogacy is legal and average prices

Although many countries in the world provide surrogacy services, only limited number of countries implements surrogacy program under official state control after making a contract with the surrogate mother. It is very important to make a distinction here. When there is a problem with surrogacy that is widely used in the United Kingdom, Italy and many other European countries (for example, surrogate mothers do not want to give their child, or want more money to give their child, or choose to give out for adoption, etc.), such cases are referred to local courts and take long years as the government has no applicable laws in place for the surrogacy. During the period of such cases, persons that have given their fertilized embryos are separated from their own child for years, and could not obtain any rights in their biological child because sometimes the courts decide that the child belongs to the surrogate mother. This is a very difficult and psychologically devastating situation for anyone that longs for a child.

To avoid such unpleasant processes, it is very important to receive surrogacy services in the countries that has an official control over this service. In these countries, the individuals who want to have child through a surrogate mother make a contract with the potential surrogate mother that is legally binding upon either party. In case of a possible conflict, the government makes a decision based on that contract.

Countries where surrogacy service is officially provided under the governmental control:

• The United States of America,
• Ukraine,
• Cyprus,
• Georgia.

What makes these countries attractive is that surrogacy is legal and they have liberal laws. The couples that want to have a child are legally considered parents from the moment when pregnancy is initiated.

On the other hand, to allow a woman in Cyprus to use a surrogate mother in accordance with laws, it is required that woman has no uterus congenitally, or has had removed her uterus, or has congenital abnormalities in the uterus, or has a uterus that cannot be improved, or has a severe heart disease, or severe kidney failure, breast cancer, or has developed HELLP syndrome. Otherwise, the surrogacy will not be allowed. For example, women have tried to become pregnant but failed despite receiving in-vitro fertilization therapy, or gay couples, or individuals that want to be parent alone do not have the right to use this service pursuant to applicable laws.

Despite this, many people from Turkey unfortunately go to Cyprus to receive this service as it is legal, and embryo is transferred to the surrogate mother. But remember that these people do not have a governmental assurance in case of a conflict that occurs between them and the surrogate mother as they are not under the conditions limited by the laws of Cyprus. In case of a potential conflict, they cannot lay claim to the child pursuant to applicable laws. When considering this, it would be more reasonable to look at other countries where there is an official state control to receive surrogacy service for the individuals that want to have a child but do not comply with conditions set out in the laws of Cyprus.

Although the prices vary by countries, the average price is more than $100.000 in the USA, but it is reduced by two thirds and decreased to $30.000-$35.000 in the developing countries such as Ukraine, Georgia, and Cyprus.

Turkey provides services at more reasonable cost as compared to European countries as it uses the advanced technologies and higher quality of healthcare service in the field of dentistry. Thus, the patients have a nice vacation as well as receive treatment at reasonable cost.

The year 2018 has been a year when Turkey has achieved a major advantage over European countries in terms of prices for implant and zirconium teeth. As the value of foreign currency increases, the ability-to-pay of foreign patients has also been increased and now it is easier for them to pay for their dental treatment.

As a result of rapid development of medical tourism, the tourists that come to Istanbul see that total costs for accommodation, flight and dental treatment are less than the cost for dental treatment alone in any of the European countries.

Such interest of people in these operations causes medical sector to regard this area as a profitable area and make investments of billions of dollars every year. Many effective researches are conducted with such investment every year, the optimum training is provided to plastic surgeons and aestheticians working in the sector, and technologies are developed that allow to perform much more efficient, long-lasting operations with less pain. This sector extends to different arms in many areas and is expected to grow gradually as human continues to exist.

While the United States and Europe used to dominate the world market in plastic surgery and aesthetic operations both with their advanced technology and knowledgeable surgeons, several developing countries including Turkey have recognized the attractiveness of market especially over the last two decades, and they have made major improvements in this area. Today, these countries closely monitor the developments in plastic surgery and aesthetic operations in the United States and Europe in particular, and are very successful at doing a good job with the same quality. On top of it, such countries are able to offer very advantageous price options because their currency has a lower value than US Dollar. As such, many people in different countries choose to undergo operations in the developing countries that offer the same high quality but a cheaper price.

For example, while an aesthetic operation that is performed in the US costs approximately 50-60 thousand dollar, the cost for the same operation in Turkey can be reduced to one fifth of that cost. Especially, the service provided by well-known doctors with higher rate of success at plastic surgery and aesthetic operations in the recognized healthcare institutions is no different from that in the US, and even can be better than that in the US in some of the cases.

The individuals that wish to undergo a plastic surgery or aesthetic operation can have an opportunity to have a vacation in a new country as well as to undergo their desired operation. This is what makes such services more attractive to receive in those countries.

On the other hand, as in Turkey, many healthcare institutions specialized in these areas have recently tended to open branches in different regions such as Eastern Europe, Asia and Middle East, going beyond the borders of their country. This is because although there is a very high demand for plastic surgery and aesthetic operations in those regions, they lack knowledge and investment to meet such demand. However, the vision that is introduced by the globalization of the world paves the way for this.

The branches to be located at different countries will allow providing services more readily in different markets. For instance, while a European citizen will be able to receive service from a Turkish healthcare institution that has a branch in the Eastern Europe that is easier to access, relying on the assurance and standards provided by the European Union, a person in the Middle East will be able to easily receive the desired service from a local Turkish healthcare institution without bothering for obtaining a visa to Turkey and arranging a place to stay.

From the perspective of Turkey, many surgeons and aestheticians that are known and popular for their success receive some part of their education in the United States or Europe. These people participate in leading congresses conducted across the world each year and have an opportunity to follow the latest information and technologies as well as share their knowledge, take place in the international sector, write articles for major journals and publications, and contribute to global areas of plastic surgery and aesthetic operations. In this sense, it is good to say that Turkish doctors have a highly respectable place in the medical areas in the United States and Europe.

Today, many people in the different foreign countries come to Turkey for plastic surgery and aesthetic operations. The overseas strategical partnerships allow foreign people to hear about competitive advantage of Turkey in this area through word of mouth communication in addition to limited advertisement activities. Choosing Turkey by foreign people for these operations make substantial contributions to both Turkish economy and Turkish medical sector (and employees in the sector), making medical tourism more attractive for our country. Our desire is that this sector becomes more powerful and globally more challenging with government incentives and aids.

The air transportation is now cheaper across the world as compared to old times, it is more common to travel between countries, and it is easier to access information via internet; they all encourage many people in different location of the world to travel to the countries of which Turkey leads among them for medical purposes. When these people complete their operation and return to their country, they tell their friend about the successful outcomes of operation they have undergone, quality health care they have received (from healthcare professionals to quality of hospital and technological devices) and the safe and enjoyable times spent in the country, so they publicize the healthcare industry in such countries in the most effective way and contribute travel of more people to such countries every year for plastic surgery and aesthetic operations.
