Questions, Answered.
Common questions about treatment planning, recovery, travel logistics, and aftercare support.
01How much does a hair transplant cost in Turkey?
Hair transplant pricing at Dr. Cinik is personalised after a free consultation, because the total depends on your chosen technique (Sapphire FUE or DHI), the number of grafts needed, and your goals. Most patients choose an all-inclusive package that covers the procedure, medications, an aftercare kit, hotel accommodation, and VIP airport transfers, so there are no hidden costs.
02Is a hair transplant permanent?
Yes. The follicles we relocate come from the donor area at the back and sides of the scalp, which is genetically resistant to hair loss. Once they settle and regrow, the results are permanent and behave like your natural hair you can cut, wash, and style it normally.
03What hair transplant techniques does Dr. Cinik use?
We specialise in Sapphire FUE and DHI (Direct Hair Implantation). Sapphire FUE uses sapphire blades for finer incisions, faster healing, and dense, natural results, while DHI implants grafts directly with a Choi pen for precise control over angle and direction. During your consultation we recommend the technique best suited to your hair type and goals.
04How many grafts will I need?
Graft count depends on the extent of your hair loss (your Norwood stage), your donor capacity, and the coverage you want. After analysing your scalp we give you a precise graft estimate most cases range from 2,000 to 4,500 grafts in a single session.
05Does a hair transplant hurt?
The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia, so you stay awake but feel no pain during surgery. We use comfort-focused techniques to minimise the sting of the initial injections, and any mild tenderness afterward is easily managed with the medication we provide.
06How long does the hair transplant procedure take?
A typical session takes 6–8 hours in a single day, including preparation, graft extraction, and implantation, with short breaks and lunch. You return to your hotel the same day and come back for a check-up and first wash before flying home.
07What is the recovery time after a hair transplant?
Most patients return to desk work within 3–5 days. Redness and small scabs fade over 7–14 days, and you should avoid intense exercise, swimming, direct sun, and alcohol for about two weeks. We provide a detailed day-by-day aftercare plan and ongoing support.
08When will I see the final results of my hair transplant?
Transplanted hairs shed within the first few weeks this normal 'shock loss' is part of the cycle then regrow from around month 3–4. You'll notice real density by 6 months, with full, final results maturing at 9–12 months.
09What plastic surgery procedures do you offer?
Our surgical team performs rhinoplasty (nose reshaping), facelifts, eyelid surgery, liposuction, tummy tucks, breast procedures, and more. Every plan starts with a consultation to confirm suitability, discuss realistic outcomes, and set a safe recovery timeline.
10What dental treatments are available?
We offer a full range of aesthetic and restorative dentistry, including porcelain veneers, the Hollywood Smile, crowns, and dental implants. Many smile makeovers are completed within a single short trip to Istanbul, and your coordinator confirms the exact schedule in advance.
11How long should I stay in Istanbul for treatment?
Plan for 2–5 days for most hair transplant and dental treatments, and slightly longer for some surgical procedures. Your coordinator gives you an exact timeline covering the consultation, treatment day, and first post-op check before you travel.
12Do you arrange hotel accommodation and airport transfers?
Yes. Our all-inclusive packages include hotel accommodation and private VIP airport transfers, and our international patient desk coordinates your arrival, treatment schedule, and departure so everything runs smoothly.
13Is Dr. Cinik Clinic safe, and are the doctors qualified?
Dr. Cinik Clinic operates from a modern, hygienic facility in Istanbul with an experienced medical team and thousands of completed procedures. Every treatment is carried out by qualified doctors and specialist staff following strict clinical and safety standards.
14Can I get a free online consultation before I travel?
Yes. Share a few photos and your medical history and our team provides a free online pre-assessment with a treatment recommendation and estimate. Final suitability and your detailed plan are confirmed during your in-person evaluation.
15What languages does your team speak?
Our international patient desk supports patients in English, Arabic, French, and many more languages, so you can plan your treatment and ask questions comfortably at every step of the journey.
16Is post-operative follow-up included?
Yes. Every treatment includes structured follow-up with recovery checkpoints, aftercare guidance, and direct access to the patient team for medication, care protocol, and progress reviews even after you return home.
