Q: Can hair transplant be done with hair taken from someone else?

Q: Is there a recommended age range for hair transplantation?

The legal age to have a hair transplant is 18. However, patients are expected to be at least 20 years old for beard transplantation. This is because beard hair continues to grow into the mid to late 20s.

Q: How long is the lifespan of the hair transplanted with hair transplantation?

If the procedures are performed by a specialist doctor and appropriate postoperative care is performed, hair transplantation is a life-long procedure.

Therefore, hair transplant surgery is the only permanent solution to hair loss.

Q: What is the success rate of hair transplant operations?

If the hair transplant is done in a reputable clinic with an experienced doctor and highly trained health personnel, the success rate will be over 90%.

Q: Does hair transplantation have disadvantages?

It is possible that the hair will be damaged in the processes planned and applied by inexperienced and non-experts. One of the most important steps to be considered is the correct collection and removal of the hair to be transplanted. Excessive collection of hair follicles wears out the donor area and can cause the hair to look untidy. In hair transplantation, the main donor area is the nape. The condition of the scalp in this area significantly determines the capacity of the operation. There is a safe amount of graft that can be taken from the nape donor area; Although this amount varies from patient to patient, it is between 4 and 5 thousand grafts in an average session. If the operation requires a larger number of grafts, a second operation is planned. The reason for this is to ensure that the patient gets maximum results with minimum damage. If hair follicles are removed from the nape area in one session, above the safe limits, a nape area that has lost its natural appearance may be encountered after the operation.

Q: Who can have a hair transplantation?

The legal age to have a hair transplant is 18. However, patients are expected to be at least 20 years old for beard transplantation.
