The FUE technique remains one of the most popular hair transplant techniques. The procedure is performed by making small incisions into which hair follicles taken from the donor area are transplanted. The technique does not imply the need to apply stitches and helps to get rid of hair loss without any consequences for the body. The whole operation takes about 6-8 hours.
When hair transplant is performing, the patient practically does not feel pain. At the same time, after its completion, there are no scars in the bald area. For the scalp, the surgery goes completely without a trace. All scars heal quickly. Full recovery takes place within a month. In addition, during this period, the patient does not feel any painful sensations.
During the operation, hair from other hair areas of the body is used as implants. Grafts produced by the FUE technique contain about 4 follicles, which significantly increases the density of hair in the bald area.
FUE Hair Transplant
The FUE technique is one of the most modern and effective methods of hair transplant. These are innovative developments in which sapphire tips are used, which make it possible to achieve incredible naturalness during the procedure.
The technique using sapphire has long been used in hair treatment. It differs from the standard FUE method in that sapphire is used instead of metal tips. Therefore, the transplant is carried out more accurately and easily. At first, the grafts are collected from healthy places with the tips. Further in the area of hair loss, the surgeon opens the channels to begin the transfer of hair follicles. This stage can be called one of the most important during transplantation. The success of the procedure is influenced by such criteria as the direction and frequency of channels. That is why it is so important that the doctor opens these incisions correctly. When using the Sapphire FUE method, maximum attention is paid to this stage. Thanks to this, the patient can forget about all the risks.
Sapphire FUE Hair Transplant
The procedure is similar to the FUE method. It is based on the use of the Choi implant. The surgeon inserts it into the hollow needle of the implant handle. Next, the needle is inserted into the scalp. The graft itself is inserted quite the doctor only needs to press a special piston. During the procedure, from 2 to 6 implants and about 15 needles can be used. The level of reliability of graft extraction remained the same, but the transplant has undergone changes and has become more dense.
The technique is popular due to the healthy and complete insertion of transplants, in which the hair follicles can boast a high percentage of survival.
At the same time, the procedure is almost painless. The blood supply in the implanted area is not disrupted, and during the transplantation, the patient practically does not experience bleeding.
During recovery, the patient does not suffer from pain. The rehabilitation period does not take much time.
DHI Hair Transplant
The advantages of this technique are especially obvious for women who do not want to lose their hair for a long time. After all, the growth period is quite long. In addition, not every man is ready to lose his hairstyle. This is relevant for people who work in representative professions. If you perform the operation without a haircut, then the fact of the procedure will not be as obvious as when shaving.
Performing an unshaved hair transplant operation, the patient does not lose his long hair. At the same time, recovery takes place quite quickly and patients do not need to wait for their hair to grow back. There are several options for this procedure. In the first case, only a small donor area is shaved. In the second type of surgery, shaving is not performed, but the hair should be long, and only a small number of follicles should be needed for transplantation.
Unshaved Hair Transplant
The process of hair loss in women is seriously different from the same process in men. When performing surgery in women, the most important thing is the transfer of hair from thick hair areas to thin hair areas. The fact is that in women, unlike men, hair can fall out almost all over the head. It is for this reason that it is much more difficult for women to achieve a successful result from a complete hair transplant. The reason lies in the fact that they often do not have donor zones in which the hair grows steadily. However, such modern techniques as the FUE method allow you to achieve successful results, so that every woman can be sure that she will be able to return her hair to its former attractiveness.
An important step to the successful operation is the smart choice of a surgeon who will perform a hair transplant efficiently and achieve the desired result. Before the operation, every woman is obliged to take blood tests, which will allow the doctor to make sure that the patient has no contraindications. But even in such a situation, nothing is impossible for us!
Female Hair Transplant
With constant hair loss in the eyebrow area and with a long process of regrowth, empty areas cannot always be hidden with cosmetics. In this case, you can use an eyebrow transplant. The method is completely safe and has long ceased to be an innovation in the world of plastic surgery.
Today, every girl can use the seamless FUE technique. Thanks to its use on the occipital part of the head, where the donor zone is located, no traces remain after the operation.
Before the transplant, the surgeon discusses with the patient all the details of the operation. The desired shape of the eyebrows emerges. The doctor takes the grafts using a micropunch. Incisions are made in problematic areas, into which grafts are implanted. The future direction of hair growth depends on the quality of the incisions and the choice of the angle when plunging grafts.
The operation lasts up to 5 hours and is completely painless, as it is performed under local anesthesia. The recovery period can take up to 14 days.
Eyebrow Transplant
Beard Transplant
Unfortunately, not everyone has the opportunity to grow a thick beard. The problem may be that facial hair grows unevenly or is completely absent due to genetics. However, do not despair. In this case, you can use a beard transplant.
The most popular method of hair transplant is the FUE method. The procedure is carried out by collecting follicles from the donor zone. Grafts are taken from the occipital region. Most often, the surgeon takes about 2 thousand follicles.
First, the surgeon chooses the area from which he will take the future transplants. When the doctor collects all the necessary amount of hair, he will put the patient under anesthesia and begin direct transplantation, which lasts several hours.
The rehabilitation process takes about 10 days. After this period, you can start cutting your beard hair. After a few weeks, they may start to fall out, but you should not be afraid of it. New hair will immediately begin to grow in that place. After a few months, you will not be able to distinguish transplanted hair from those that have always grown. The result is preserved for life.

Collecting Hair Follicles
The hair follicles are taken from the safe zone, which starts from the neck area and ends at the back of the head. A special low-speed extractor is used to perform the collection. Before starting the sampling, the patient is injected with local anesthesia, which eliminates the possibility of pain during the procedure. The extractor can extract several grafts in one go, while their integrity is preserved.
Preparation of the transfer zone.
At the moment, two main methods of preparing channels are used in practice, in which it is planned to transplant hair follicles from the back of the head.
1. The classical method has been widely used for many years, but is gradually losing its relevance.
2. Innovative puncture technique. The main advantage of this method is minimal damage to the skin and the ideal direction of hair growth.

Puncture Technique
This method is used in our clinic, its practical implementation involves the creation of incisions by using a thin surgical scalpel in those areas where it is planned to transplant hair follicles.
If we combine the incisions of 2-5 mm, then their total length for transplanting 4000 follicles will be 8-20 meters. The recovery period and the number of scars after surgery directly depend on the number of made incisions. Also, the incisions themselves can have a negative impact on healthy hair follicles in the area where the transplant is performed, the result of this may be tissue necrosis. In addition, the use of this method requires a lot of fluid, for this reason, swelling can last 7-10 days after the procedure.

Hair Follicle Transplant
One of the main advantages of the puncture technique is that due to it a natural result is achieved. The key factor here is the angle of hair follicle transplantation. Incisions created using the classical method are larger than hair follicles.
The hair cannot be transplanted naturally because the angle cannot be adjusted — the follicles move in the incisions and may even fall out.
The density of the transplanted hair follicles is also important for a natural and successful hair transplant. When using the classical method, it is necessary to leave space between relatively large incisions so that they heal and this limits the density of transplantation. This means that it is almost impossible to achieve high density and thick hair
Hair follicles transplanted with an extractor through thin channels are placed at the most natural angle and cannot move in them, that is, this angle cannot be changed after transplantation. When the follicles are inserted into the channels, their damage does not occur.
The use of small channels allows them to be located in close proximity to each other, the result is a doubling of density, with the maximum possible amount of 40-50 per 1 cm² of the scalp.
Puncture technique is the best option for those patients who want to get a high-quality result with minimal risks, so they prefer the Plastic Surgery Turkey Group clinic for hair transplant. At the moment, this method is widely used in the leading clinics of the world.
After the procedure is completed, it is recommended to rest for one day, after which you can return to normal mode. The hair will begin to appear from the transplanted follicles 3 months after the procedure, the full result will be in 1 year.
With our help, you can solve the issue of hair transplant once and for all, while having a natural result.

HOW MANY DAYS DO I NEED TO STAY FOR SURGERY IN TURKEY?The first day in Turkey will take you to check in at the hotel, and the next day we will take you to the clinic for abdominoplasty. The operation lasts 4-5 hours, after which you will be left in the hospital under the supervision of specialists for 3-4 days. In the absence of complications, patients are discharged, but for another 5 days it is recommended to observe bed rest. The stitches will be removed approximately on the 9th day.

HOW DO I UNDERSTAND THAT I NEED A TUMMY TUCK, AND NOT JUST LIPOSUCTION?Abdominoplasty is a plastic surgery aimed at removing excess skin and fat from the abdomen, possible stretch marks in this area, as well as restoring weakened muscles. The procedure is not to lose weight, but to remove excess skin and fat that may remain after rapid weight loss or repeated pregnancies. Therefore, if you see flabby skin or excess fat deposits when examining your body, you can safely sign up for a consultation with us.
-
IS LIPOSUCTION DONE WITH ABDOMINOPLASTY?Rarely, abdominoplasty is performed separately from liposuction. This is due to the fact that liposuction, which is a procedure of aspiration of fats from certain parts of the body, helps to form a silhouette, preventing an unnatural appearance of the abdomen after surgery. It is important that the doctor assess whether there is a need or whether liposuction is indicated in combination with abdominoplasty in each case.
-
WILL I HAVE MY ABDOMINAL MUSCLES STITCHED (DIASTASIS SUTURED)?With classical abdominoplasty, in addition to the main ones, another incision is made around the navel, since it cannot be removed. The abdominal muscles are exposed and stitched, bringing them closer, thinning the waist and eliminating abdominal diastasis. Then the removed skin is finally separated from the patient`s body, and what remains of the tissue is pulled down and reconnected with the incision, closing the wound. Stitching of the abdominal muscles is not required only for mini-abdominoplasty.

WHAT IS THE RECOVERY PROCESS AFTER ABDOMINOPLASTY?The postoperative period is considered by many to be the most difficult part of abdominoplasty, since recovery can be relatively long. On average, it takes a patient from 10 days to gradually return to normal activities. Highly qualified surgeons recommend avoiding large efforts and activities that require excessive stress and exertion for four months after surgery. During the rehabilitation period, the patient must strictly follow the doctor`s prescriptions, including treating scars.
-
IN HOW MANY DAYS WILL I RETURN TO A NORMAL LIFESTYLE?After abdominoplasty, the patient needs at least 10 days of complete rest. In some cases, doctors prescribe complete rest for at least 15 days. After this time, the patient can return to work, but full recovery takes from 2 to 4 months. With individual physiological characteristics of the patient, the recovery process may take longer. Rehabilitation is also longer if other operations, such as liposuction and mammoplasty, were performed shortly before or together with abdominoplasty.
-
WILL I HAVE A BIG SCAR?During abdominoplasty, scarring cannot be avoided. It is usually not very large and is located at the base of the abdomen, just above the groin area. But it is easy to hide it under underwear and even under a bikini, especially with mini-abdominoplasty and classical surgery. In addition, over time, the scar becomes less bright. The size of the scar depends on the amount of skin removed during the operation, but experienced surgeons always try to minimize the traces of abdominoplasty.

IS IT POSSIBLE TO GET RID OF THE SCAR AFTER ABDOMINOPLASTY?So that the scar does not become more noticeable than it should, or a keloid does not form, which is an excessive growth of tissue, it is important that the patient has a good rest and does not make any effort to the abdominal area during recovery. After the operation, the doctor will give recommendations for rehabilitation, as well as prescribe special creams or ointments that will help make the scar as invisible as possible. Modern cosmetics help not to completely get rid of scars, but to make them barely noticeable.

WHAT ARE THE COMPLICATIONS AFTER ABDOMINOPLASTY?The patient has a list of recommendations from the attending physician. Most of the possible complications are associated with non-compliance with medical advice during rehabilitation and ignoring visible signs of deterioration of health. Risks that are likely to be encountered: • Purulent inflammation. It is observed when hygiene and antiseptics are not observed during dressing; • Violation of the integrity of the stitch. It is possible with the assumption of physical exertion in the postoperative phase; • Edema. It happens after any operation, but if the swelling does not subside for a long period, it is important to consult a doctor immediately; • Lymphorrhea (fluid accumulates in the subcutaneous tissue in the area of the scar and a focus of inflammation forms when the capillaries rupture; this occurs when ignoring the need to wear compression underwear). In the Plastic Surgery Turkey Group clinic, where competent plastic surgeons with extensive practice and many years of experience work, the risk of complications after abdominoplasty is almost zero. Clear and consistent compliance with the recommendations allows you to avoid negative consequences and even shorten the rehabilitation period.
