11 · Frequently asked

Common questions, answered.

If your question isn't here, our team responds within 2 hours during working hours.

Is a hair transplant in Turkey safe?

Yes. Your procedure is performed at Liv Hospital Ulus — a JCI-accredited hospital and part of MLP Care, Turkey's largest private healthcare group. 135+ countries served. A fully equipped multi-specialty hospital, not a standalone clinic.

Is the procedure painful?

Local anaesthesia throughout — patients typically feel no pain. Mild post-op discomfort is managed with standard medication.

How many grafts will I need?

Receding hairline: 1,500–2,500. Thinning crown: 1,500–3,000. Full coverage: 4,000–6,000. Each graft contains 1–4 hairs. Precise estimate in consultation.

Are there hidden costs?

No. Transparent pricing from the outset. Your complete package is shared before you commit — what we quote is what you pay.

What is recovery like?

Daily activities resumed within days. Healing over 7–10 days. New growth begins months 3–4; full result 8–12 months.

Why choose Turkey over other countries?

Turkey performs more hair transplants than any other country. Hospitals like Liv Hospital at 60–70% lower cost than UK, Germany, or US — supported by the Turquality programme.

Will my hair transplant look natural?

Yes. Dr. Hamid plans the hairline manually for each patient — angle, density and direction are matched to your existing hair. The Sapphire FUE and DHI techniques produce smaller, more natural channels than older methods. Most patients tell us friends and family did not notice they had a transplant after 6 months.

Can I fly home the next day?

We recommend staying 3 nights minimum so the medical team can perform the official first wash on day 3. The flight itself is safe from day 2, but the first wash, post-op briefing and aftercare kit handover happen on day 3 at Liv Hospital. Many patients combine the trip with light sightseeing.

What happens if the result is not what I expected?

At month 12 we conduct a final review. If density in any transplanted area is below expectations, BergemHealth covers a complimentary touch-up session at Liv Hospital — including your flight and 3-night hotel. This guarantee applies to all FUE, Sapphire FUE and DHI procedures booked through us, with no time limit on requesting the touch-up assessment.
