Unshaved Hair Transplantation
Although the standard hair transplantation process, in which the area to be transplanted, is shaved, is not difficult, many people do not look at the idea of shaving their heads. There are even those who gave up hair transplantation for this reason. The unshaved hair transplantation process, which is particularly preferred when planting in a small area, is aimed at avoiding this situation; The aim of the hair is to have a more natural appearance in both the transplantation and healing process and thus the patient can return to normal life more quickly.
Treatment process
1.Regional Trimming:
Regional shaving 1000-1500 grafts are applied in planting will be made. Only a small part of the donor area is shaved. Before the operation, a rectangular area measuring 10 × 5 cm from the nape region is shaved.
2.Full Shaving Hair Transplantation:
Fully shaved hair transplantation is especially preferred for women with long hair and people who prefer to use their hair longer than 15-20 cm. Normal FUE technique is also used for fully unshaved hair transplantation. Fully unshaved hair transplantation is a long-lasting and intensive operation, especially when compared to normal planting. Hair loss can occur in fully shaved hair transplantation. For complete shaving-free hair transplantation, eligibility is confirmed by the doctor s hair analysis.
Travel, your stay and aftercare
How long do I need to stay in Turkey after the procedure?
Plan for 3 days in Antalya for this procedure. A final check-up takes place before you fly home — you are only cleared to travel after it. Combined procedures can require a longer stay.
When can I fly after surgery?
You are cleared to fly home only after your final check-up — for this procedure typically after 3 days. Do not fly earlier, even if you feel fine: your doctor decides based on wound healing. You are given guidance for the flight.
When can I go back to work and exercise?
For a mainly desk-based job, expect around 2 days . Physically demanding work, sport, sauna and swimming take considerably longer and are cleared individually at your check-up. Going back to full activity too early is one of the most common reasons for a poorer result.
What happens if I have a complication after returning home?
Contact your coordinator straight away — the same person who looked after you in Antalya, by WhatsApp or phone. Send photos of the area; the assessment is made together with the doctor who operated on you. We then work out whether it can be treated where you live — we provide your surgical records and medical reports for that — or whether coming back to Antalya makes sense. For acute symptoms such as severe pain, fever, breathlessness or sudden swelling, go to your nearest emergency department first and tell us afterwards.
