With the FUE hair transplant method, you can practically compensate for the effects of hair loss. The FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) method, which is the most reliable and most preferred method among hair transplant operations, enables you to regain a natural hair appearance by placing the hair follicles in the bald areas. Since this method is a microsurgical procedure, you can confidently choose it for a comfortable hair transplant.
Hair transplant, or as it is commonly known among the public, the planting of hair from one person into a bald area, is the most effective and long-lasting method. Hair transplant performed by plastic surgeons is the process of transferring the roots taken from the donor area to the sparse areas. Different hair transplant techniques can be used during the transfer process. FUE hair transplant is one of these methods.

FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) hair transplant is a procedure performed on individuals suffering from hair loss or baldness. In this procedure, the hair follicles are extracted one by one from the hair bearing scalp. Then these are transplanted to the areas with sparse hair. FUE hair transplant is less invasive compared to other hair transplant techniques.
The procedure is done under local anaesthesia. During the process, individual follicular units are extracted from the hairy skin. Then these units are collected and transplanted to the hairy skin. Thus, the damage in the donor area is also minimized.
FUE hair transplantation offers a practical treatment option for people suffering from alopecia. Factors such as short recovery time, no need for surgical intervention and fewer risks make FUE hair transplants more advantageous compared to other methods.
It is possible to mention 4 different methods commonly used for FUE hair transplant procedures. Your doctor can decide on the FUE method that will be applied depending on the size of your hair loss and the condition of your scalp. The most commonly used methods can be listed as follows.
In the classic FUE method, hair follicles taken from the donor area, are transferred to areas where the hair is either sparse or bald. This technique is easy to apply. The required hair follicles can be taken from more areas without leaving a trace and completed.
In this method, the front hair line and the area which the hair will be taken is marked by drawing. Then, the micro motor tips with a diameter of 0.6 to 0.8 mm are used to extract hair grafts with a small amount of skin, and they are transferred to the area where there is thinning or hair loss.
DHI hair transplantation is a process of implanting hair follicles directly into the balding area using a specialized tool, which is one of the FUE techniques. The DHI hair transplantation method makes it possible for the harvesting, preparation and implanting stages to be carried out in a single procedure. This minimizes the time the hair follicles spend outside the body, thus reducing the risk of damage to them during the transplantation.
The process of harvesting and implanting hair follicles in the bald area in the method of Sapphire FUE hair transplant is done using a special sapphire-tipped tool. Sapphire-tipped tools, due to their being harder and more resilient, are sharper and less traumatic compared to the other tools. Thus, the Sapphire FUE hair transplantation method is accepted as a less invasive methodology. This results in less pain and discomfort.
Just came to Dr. Yücel Sarıaltın the second time and was completely amazed and stunned to see his great work!! I am extremely thankful!
I got surgery one month ago. I had BBL and liposuction done. I can highly recommend the doctor and also his assistant Sevgi. She looked after me lovingly and was there for me at all times and always answered all my questions. I was in the hospital one night and was completely satisfied. Thank you for making this big step as pleasant as possible for me!

I had surgery 2 weeks ago by Dr Yucel Sarialtin. I have been to almost every doctor in Istanbul, but this doctor is so spontaneous and gives so much attention to his patient, I immediately felt good. I've had a Tummytuck 360 Lipo and BBL! What a great result I couldn't have imagined it better! Dear people please find the right doctor!!! Because I also had the same operation in 2019, but this doctor mutilated me, and Yucel Sarialtin had to correct this again, which of course makes the operation more difficult. I recommend this doctor 100%! & of course his team also lots of kisses to Buse Bayram Aysegul who helped me through this period

When it comes to hair transplantation methods, there are many techniques you can choose from.

There are some important factors to consider before FUE hair transplantation. These factors can increase the success rate during the procedure and you can get better results. Firstly, you should be aware that stopping smoking and alcohol consumption before the procedure can increase your chances of success.
Smoking and alcohol can negatively affect blood circulation and can slow down the healing process after FUE hair transplantation. Therefore, it is recommended to stop smoking and drinking at least one week before the FUE procedure. Similarly, blood thinning medications will increase the risk of bleeding and slow down the healing process.
Patients with any chronic illness should discuss medication use with their doctor before an FUE hair transplant is important. Because certain drugs can slow down the healing process by affecting the blood circulation. Similarly, before the hair transplant, it is important to have blood tests done. These tests can help detect ailments such as anemia, infections, hepatitis, or HIV. Such ailments could potentially lead to an unsuccessful procedure so should be identified beforehand and, if possible, controlled.
Many patients fall into the misconception of juliening their hair before a FUE hair transplant. This is not a recommended procedure. Your hair strands can be useful in order to identify the places to be transplanted. Also, there is no need to julien your hair. It is also important to try to reduce stress and anxiety before the procedure, in order to feel comfortable. In addition to these suggestions, it is important to take into account the recommendations of your doctor before FUE hair transplantation. Your doctor will make specific recommendations for you to obtain better results during and after the procedure.
Taking good care of your hair after a FUE hair transplant will help speed up the healing process. However, what needs to be done post-FUE hair transplant can be slightly different from regular hair care. Firstly, do not wash your hair for the first few days after the transplant. Depending on your doctor’s advice, you can usually start washing your hair again after 2-3 days.
Similarly, when combing your hair, you should not be too harsh in the early days. Also, it is important to protect your head from impacts after hair transplant operations. Similarly, you should be careful when you are in extreme hot or cold environments such as sauna and bath.
Your doctor may suggest pain relievers or antibiotics to speed up the healing process post-operation. Be sure to use these medications according to your doctor's recommendations. It is recommended to visit your doctor's office regularly after FUE hair transplantation to follow up on the healing process. This way possible problems can be detected by your doctor and appropriate measures can be taken. Additionally, scalp exercises can help promote air circulation to the hair grafts, which will contribute to the healing.
FUE hair transplant prices can vary depending on a number of factors. These include the size of the area to be transplanted, the number of grafts, the hair structure and thickness. Additionally, the number of sessions required for the procedure to be completed successfully should also be taken into consideration from a pricing perspective. Therefore, it is not possible to give a precise price range for FUE hair transplant prices before examination. Different treatment techniques must be applied for each hair loss. This means the treatment process must be planned according to the individual.
No. Since a local anesthetic is applied to the area during the procedure, no pain is felt.
There is no limit. You can get a new FUE procedure whenever you need it.
You can grow your hair as long as you want, it's the same as your existing hair.
