6 / 801 results- Is a hair transplant in Turkey safe? Clinics in Turkey describe their own work as safe when it is done in a licensed clinic by an experienced surgeon, and they also agree that quality varies a lot between clinics. All of that comes from the clinics themselves rather than from independent regulator or complication data, so any judgement rests on the specific clinic and surgeon, not on the country.
- Is it cheaper to get a hair transplant abroad? Hair transplants abroad can be cheaper, but quality and follow-up care may suffer.
