Facts about Asian Hair Transplant in Turkey
Turkey is very famous for its modern hair transplant techniques such as FUE and DHI. The country combines tourism with medical interventions like hair transplant, teeth veneers, smile makeovers, breast lifts, etc. That increases the attractiveness of the country for such operations.
In terms of hair replacement methods, ethnic origins play a major role. Asian hair transplant is a widely practiced procedure in the country.
Let’s find out the facts behind it:
1. There are differences in head type according to ethnic origins, so hair transplantations may vary accordingly. Typically, Asians have round and short skulls. Hair transplantation in Asian men needs more hair than some other ethnicities because Asians have a slightly lower hairline.
Turkish surgeons perform specialized hair transplants designed for Asian patients with advanced hair loss.
2. In general, FUE hair restoration technology is well-suited for Asian patients experiencing male pattern baldness. The ideal follicles for extraction during the follicular unit extraction process are those that are straight and thick, similar to the follicles typically found in Asians.
This unique characteristic allows surgeons to achieve lower transaction rates and higher graft survival rates from the harvested follicles and increases the hair transplant success rate.
3. When it comes to Asian hair transplantation in Turkey, Turkish surgeons take this anatomical feature into thorough consideration when trying to create a natural-looking hairline. Asian hair follicles exhibit a higher metabolic activity compared to their counterparts and require careful protection during the procedure.
These follicles are more susceptible to dehydration, which makes it imperative for doctors to be careful. Plus, Asians are more prone to hypertrophic scars, leading doctors to favor less aggressive donor harvesting methods such as follicular unit extraction.
If you want to learn whether you are a good candidate for Asian hair transplant methods or to get an estimate for your procedure, you can send your photos to our clinic. We can share the approximate number of hair grafts needed to achieve perfect results.
Who is eligible for Asian hair transplant?
This is a very important question. Many people consider that the only true answer to this question is located at hair transplant in Asia. That also makes money an issue to consider.
However, with the advancements in medical tourism, medical science and the health sector, Turkey is among the best choices for Asian facial hair transplant or any kind of hair procedure you can think of. With lower pricing and high expertise on the field, more people with Asian heritage can afford the procedure with a chance of a delightful vacation into it.
Under normal circumstances, a healthy person (male or female) can easily receive hair transplant treatment. However, there are some criterias which you should consider. Above all, the condition of the donor area is very important. It is generally the back part of the head; where hair grafts will be harvested and transformed into the bald area.
Your donor area must be healthy and strong enough. You should also keep in mind that blood pressure, thyroid and type 1 diabetes are among the diseases that may be a blocker to hair transplant procedures.
