Hair transplant is a surgical procedure that involves transplanting hair from one part of the body to another to treat baldness or alopecia. Many people travel to Turkey in search of hair transplant treatments due to the lower prices and the availability of specialised clinics.
However, there are some risks associated with hair transplant in Turkey that you should be aware of:
- Lack of regulation: The hair transplant industry in Turkey is not well regulated, which means that some clinics may not meet proper medical standards.
- Infections: As with any surgical procedure, there is a risk of infection. If the tools used in the procedure are not properly sterilized, they can introduce bacteria into the body.
- Poor results: Lack of regulation can lead to unsatisfactory results. If the technique used is not suitable or if the surgeon is not experienced enough, the transplant may not look natural and there may be additional hair loss.
- Complications: Although rare, complications can arise after the procedure, such as inflammation, scabbing, and pain on the scalp. The lack of attention in your post-operative can aggravate these complications as well as the price having to go to another specialist to solve it.
Importance of the specialist
It is important that you do your research prior to your procedure and choose a clinic that meets the proper medical standards and has a track record of successful hair transplantation.
