Whether you have chosen to opt for a hair transplant at our clinic in Istanbul or you are planning to travel to our hospital in Izmir for a breast augmentation, making sure that you’re travelling with the right documents, clothes and information that you need can make or break your trip.

Male pattern baldness has become a growing problem in today’s society, with more and more men seeking treatments and solutions for this loss. This isn’t a modern issue, however – in fact, this has been going on since as early as the 1900s, with the industry-acclaimed Norwood Scale coming into effect as early as the 1950s. The first version of the scale was created by Dr James Hamilton, but by the 1970s it was revised by Dr O’Tar Norwood to become the scale that we utilise today.

The FUE results timeline will be one of the things you are most interested in if you are considering a hair transplant. FUE is also known as Follicular Unit Extraction and refers to a type of hair transplant process. FUE has received a lot of media attention, which has only increased since ex-Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney had this procedure. FUE is the preferred choice of celebs for a reason, though, and that’s because it promises the best rate of success. Here at Longevita, we have vast experience in this procedure, providing safe and successful results. Below, we will explain the FUE recovery process, as well as giving you an understanding regarding the results you can expect, and when you can expect them. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to get in touch.

You’ve finally done it – you’ve taken the plunge and undergone the hair transplant you have been putting off for years. You’ve had the transplant procedure, you’re recovered from the anaesthesia and you’re questioning what exactly you have to do next. Looking after your head of hair in the days after a hair transplant procedure is particularly important, particularly considering the sensitivity that the treatment can cause. Ensuring that you take proper care of your hair and scalp after a hair transplant not only reduces the risk of developing complications and consequently increases your chances of successful results, promoting the fastest and best quality hair growth.

As with any cosmetic procedure, following an FUE or FUT hair transplant, you will need to follow your surgeon’s aftercare instructions. In some cases, this may be as simple as resting for a few hours to allow your scalp to settle post-surgery. In others, it may require further medication to reduce swelling or ease any discomfort or pain depending on how their body reacts.
