“Hair transplant Turkey cost” is one of the most searched phrases by men in the UK. A fair comparison looks beyond the price at who does the work, how the donor area is protected and how natural the hairline will look. This New City Clinic guide explains the cost and the checks.
How much does a hair transplant cost in Istanbul?
The estimated package price for a hair transplant at New City Clinic in Istanbul is €1,500. It covers the procedure in a licensed facility, the hospital stay where needed, hotel accommodation and airport transfers; pre-operative tests, coordination and interpreting are included according to the package. Flights are not included. The final written quote follows a free assessment of your photos, reports or images by a physician.
FUE or DHI, and how many grafts?
In both methods follicles are taken one by one from the back of the scalp; the difference is in implantation. FUE suits larger areas, DHI is often preferred for density and the hairline. The number of grafts depends on the extent of hair loss and on your donor area; over-harvesting leaves the back of the head thin, so the number is planned for the long term.
What to check before booking
Ask for the name of the hospital and check that it is licensed by the Turkish Ministry of Health, the full name and specialty of the doctor, and a written quote that lists hospital, doctor, tests, nights in hospital and hotel, transfers and interpreter. Be cautious with offers that cannot name the hospital, promise guaranteed results or ask for a deposit before a physician has seen your case.
Travelling from the UK
Direct flights from London, Manchester, Birmingham, Edinburgh and other UK airports take around four hours. Plan about 2–3 days in Istanbul so that your doctor can check you before the flight. You receive your reports in English for your GP, and a New City Clinic coordinator follows your recovery remotely once you are home.
