HOW DOES A HAIR TRANSPLANT WITH DR. ILKER APAYDIN WORK?

Step-by-Step Guide to Your Hair Transplant Journey in Istanbul

1. MAKING THE DECISION

Taking the first step toward a hair transplant can feel challenging — but we’re here to make it simple.

Once you reach out to us through the contact form or email, one of our patient coordinators will respond promptly.
They will ask you to send a few clear photos of your scalp and explain exactly how to take them for the most accurate evaluation by Dr. Ilker Apaydin.

After reviewing your photos, Dr. Apaydin will personally assess your suitability for a hair transplant. Because he performs all operations himself, this step might take a few hours.

If you are a good candidate, your coordinator will send you a personalised consultation report and a price quote.
You can also request more information — including clinic details, patient testimonials, and videos explaining the hair transplant procedure — or even book a live online consultation with the doctor.

2. BEFORE YOUR FLIGHT

Once you confirm your surgery date, you can book your flight to Istanbul, Turkey, one of the world’s top destinations for hair transplantation.

Our team will take care of everything else — including your hotel reservation, airport transfers, and local arrangements — so you can simply focus on your upcoming transformation.

3. ARRIVING IN ISTANBUL

When you arrive, you’ll be picked up from the airport and taken either to your hotel or directly to the hospital, depending on your schedule.

Before the procedure, you’ll meet Dr. Ilker Apaydin in person for a final consultation and physical examination.
This is your opportunity to discuss your expectations and finalise your new hairline design in a calm, relaxed setting.

4. THE HAIR TRANSPLANT OPERATION

Your hair transplant surgery will be performed under local anaesthesia, ensuring you feel comfortable throughout the procedure.
It’s a safe and straightforward operation — many patients choose to watch TV, listen to music, or enjoy a meal during the process.

Every stage of the hair transplant — from extraction to implantation — is performed under Dr. Apaydin’s direct supervision to guarantee precision, safety, and natural results.

5. AFTER THE OPERATION

Once your surgery is complete, you’ll receive detailed aftercare instructions to help protect your newly transplanted hair.

You can then relax at your hotel or even enjoy a bit of shopping or sightseeing in Istanbul.
The following day, you’ll visit the clinic again for a gentle hair wash performed by our trained nurses.

When it’s time for your return flight, our driver will take you to the airport — relaxed and ready to go home with confidence in your new look.

6. FOLLOW-UP AND SUPPORT

Our care doesn’t end when you leave Istanbul. Your patient coordinator will contact you about a month after your procedure to check on your recovery.

Of course, you’re welcome to reach out anytime with questions, updates, or photos of your progress.
We love following your transformation and celebrating your results with you.
