Hair Transplant Wiki
A citation-ready clinical knowledge base for FUE, DHI, graft planning, donor safety, recovery and international patient decisions in Istanbul.
Neither method is automatically better. FUE describes graft extraction, while DHI describes an implantation workflow. The better choice depends on donor capacity, hairline design, density target, shaving preference and surgical team experience.
Graft need depends on hair-loss pattern, hair caliber, donor density, hairline position and coverage goal. A safe plan protects the donor area first, then distributes grafts where visual impact is highest.
Washing timing is clinic-specific. Many protocols start gentle supervised washing in the first days, avoiding rubbing, pressure and trauma. Follow the exact instructions given after surgery.
Early growth may appear after several months, but maturation takes longer. Many patients judge the visible result around 9-12 months, with crown and texture changes sometimes continuing beyond that.
Yes. Overharvesting can leave visible thinning, patchiness or fewer options for future surgery. Donor planning should estimate safe extraction, not only today’s graft target.
Natural hairlines use age-appropriate height, soft irregularity, single-hair grafts at the front, correct exit angle and density that matches the donor supply.
Transplanted donor hairs are selected for relative resistance, but surrounding native hair can keep thinning. Long-term planning may include medical therapy, follow-up and donor preservation.
Safety depends less on country branding and more on medical governance: physician assessment, sterile setting, transparent consent, realistic graft planning, emergency contact and accountable follow-up.
Temporary shedding can be part of the normal cycle after surgery. The shaft may shed while the follicle remains; concerning redness, pain, discharge or sudden patch loss should be reported.
Many international plans include arrival, procedure day, first wash or control, then departure if recovery is stable. Exact stay length depends on treatment scope and surgeon instructions.
