Hair transplant and other plastic surgery operations in Turkey are done according to the EU standards. Although such operations cost less than the EU and the USA, the success rate in Turkey is as high as those countries. Here are some main reasons behind competitive prices:

• State support and incentives towards health tourism
• The same quality for medical materials as Europe but much cheaper price.
• Lower clinic expenses and surgeon wages compared to Europe
• Competitive environment due to high number of clinics in Istanbul
• Lower value of Turkish Lira when it is compared to other currencies like $, € and £.

Having high level of medical competency, Cosmeticium is a clinic where state-of-art equipment and advanced techniques are used. Planning ability is very advanced. Thanks to plans prepared for our patients coming from outside of Turkey, patients have hair transplantation done and return to their homes without any hassle.

The only thing our patients are required to do is to come to Turkey on agreed date. From the moment our patients arrive at Turkey to the moment they leave, all planning is done by Cosmeticium.

In the canal (FUE) method, it is necessary to open the holes where these grafts are placed in the area to be implanted. For this very small cutters are used. In the area to be planted, these small cutters (slit) are drilled by the number of grafts planned to be planted. Then, grafts are inserted into these holes one by one with a tool called a penset.

The grafts collected in the DHI hair transplant technique are placed in individual implanter tools (CHOI-PEN). Each graft is then directly implanted in the area. So, the use of pens allows canal opening and hair transplantation to be performed simultaneously.

In order for the surgery to be considered within the coverage of your insurance, it should be acknowledged as reconstructive. In other words, your insurance company has to acknowledge that this is a medical requirement. For example, if you get hurt in an accident, your insurance company may cover this cost partially or in full.

Since cosmetic procedures are done due to aesthetic reasons, insurance companies generally don’t tend to cover such costs. Our experts can provide you a roadmap suitable with your situation in order to see if you are suitable for insurance coverage.

Necessity to stay at hospital may vary depending on which procedure you received. While you don’t need to stay at hospital for hair transplant, you may need 1-2 days at hospital after some other plastic surgery operations.

This time may vary depending on the surgery that you need. For example, you can go back to your work (if it is not a hard work) on the same day after hair transplantation. In case of some other procedures like breast implantations, 1-2 weeks of recovery period may be necessary before going back to your work.

Plastic surgery and hair transplant sector in Turkey is well developed. Accordingly, there are numerous surgeons and staff. As Cosmeticium, we also have many expert surgeons and staff at our clinic. Therefore, you won’t wait for an appointment for a plastic surgery operation for weeks at Cosmeticium as it is in England or other European countries. In order to define the most suitable and closes date for you, plan a consultation now with our experts.
