How long does a hair transplant operation take?

Life is short, birds are flying, hair is falling out…

We do not have a solution for flying birds, but as the Medhair Clinic, we definitely have many solutions for hair loss!

As Medhair Clinic, which is one of the most popular center for a hair transplant center in Istanbul, we take care to offer the best to our patients, both in terms of service quality and price of hair transplant.

Hair transplantation treatment is a difficult process. Although we act with the responsibility and experience of the director of a center that has been the best hair transplant center for many years, complete hair transplant operations with the maximum quality and minimum time possible, candidates who want to have a hair transplant may not always be patient.

When it comes to the fast pace of life, permissions from the workplace and the family time, many people rightly wonder how long the treatment will take.

Hair transplantation is life-long procedure with long-term results as well as being safe and comfortable. Undoubtedly, one of the most frequently asked questions by our candidates who apply to us for hair transplantation is “how many hours will the operation take”?

When it comes to hair transplantation treatments, which are effective solutions for hair loss,there are many variables that affect the process in terms of both the plan and the duration of the operation.

As the Medhair Clinic, which is one of the first centers that come to mind when it comes to hair transplantation center and the latest technological options in hair transplantation in Istanbul, we are working to achieve effective results in a short time, especially by shortening operation times.

The duration is a variable determined according to the details and content of the operation to be performed. If the old-fashioned FUT technique is used, the procedure can be completed in an average of 4 hours. However, if one of the latest technology methods such as FUE is used, then the operation planting takes up to 7-8 hours

Since it’s cutting-edge technology, shouldn’t it take less time? We hear you say. In fact, among the technology offered by the FUE technique and the advantages it provides to the candidates, it is the recovery period that is much more valuable than the time. Also, there is almost no scar in the donor area after the FUE technique.

In the FUT technique, the specialist removes a strip of tissue from the donor area. As such, the operation time is shortened as many grafts will be taken at once. However, serious scars are often left in the donor area. Unfortunately, there is no effective way to minimize these scars afterwards.

However, although the operation time is long in the FUE technique, since there is no incision in strips in the donor area, hair transplantation can be performed almost without leaving a scar (of course, when the harvesting is planned correctly).

If the best hair transplant clinic in Turkey completes the procedure in a long time, you may wonder what we will do. However, we should mention here that the reason why hair transplantation takes so long in the FUE technique is that each graft is taken one by one from the donor area and transplanted to the recipient area in the same way. So, what we can say is that the reason why the FUE technique takes longer than other techniques is due to the nature of the procedure.

The number of grafts to be transplanted, including the price of hair transplantation, affects both the budget and the duration of the procedure. However, thanks to the effective results it offers, candidates return home satisfied and happy with the FUE method.

In addition to the FUE technique, the DHI method is frequently used in hair transplantation procedures and is performed under local anesthesia. In this method, since the grafts transplanted into the needed area directly and the transplant is performed more frequently, the period may be a little longer and may increase up to 8 hours. Our readers should be aware that the times given here are average times. The method used in hair transplantation is not the only factor that affects the operation time.

As we mentioned above, those who will have a hair transplant in Istanbul should know that the width of the area to be transplanted affects the operation time at least as much as the technique to be used.

One of the most frequently asked questions in hair transplantation treatments, which is a procedure with effective results when performed with the right team and a staff of experts in the field, is undoubtedly the price of hair transplantation.

First of all, we should say that the price of hair transplantation does not increase or decrease according to the operation time. For this reason, it would be wrong to think that a transplant completed in a shorter time is more economical. The price of hair transplantation varies according to the transplantation method to be used in the process and the width of the recipient area.

How long the operation will take and which method will be used is best determined by our specialists during the consultation examination.
