A hair transplant in Antalya starts from €1,250 at Soraca Med, as an all-inclusive package with the procedure, hotel nights, transfers, medication and your first wash. Most patients need between 2,000 and 4,000 grafts, which costs about €1,250 to €3,000 depending on the size of the area and the technique. You usually need three days in Antalya and can return to desk work after one to two weeks. This guide explains exactly what you pay for, how your graft number is planned, and what happens on each day of your trip. Every treatment plan at Soraca Med is reviewed by our plastic surgeon, Dr. Gökhan Bacak.

Average Hair Transplant Cost in Turkey
Across Turkey, prices range from very cheap offers to premium clinics. Price differences mainly reflect who performs the procedure, how many patients a team treats per day, the technique and what the package includes. Antalya is generally priced similarly to Istanbul for the same level of care, with the advantage of a quieter city, a short airport transfer and many direct flights. For a wider comparison of prices across the country, read our guide to hair transplant cost in Turkey.
Hair Transplant Cost in the UK vs Turkey

The NHS states that a hair transplant in the UK can cost anywhere between £1,000 and £30,000, and that it is not available on the NHS because it is cosmetic surgery. Larger sessions in the UK are often priced well above £5,000. In Antalya, a complete package for a similar number of grafts usually costs a fraction of that, even after adding flights.
| UK | Antalya (Soraca Med) | |
| Typical pricing | Per session or per graft, travel not included | Package from €1,250 |
| Hotel and transfers | Not applicable | Included |
| Consultation | Often charged separately | Included |
| First wash and aftercare kit | Varies | Included |
A lower price is only a good deal if the medical standard is the same. Compare the team, the graft plan and the aftercare, not only the total.
Hair Transplant Cost Per Graft
Some clinics quote a price per graft, often between one and a few euros. At Soraca Med we price a package for your planned graft range instead, so you know the total before you travel. Per-graft quotes can look cheaper but rise if more grafts are taken on the day. If you compare a per-graft offer with a package, always ask for the maximum total price and the services included.
Factors That Affect Hair Transplant Cost
- Number of grafts: the main factor; a larger area needs more grafts and more time.
- Donor quality: a dense donor area allows a larger session; a weak one limits it.
- Technique: DHI usually costs more than FUE because implantation with pens takes longer.
- Unshaven procedure: working without shaving the head takes more time and skill.
- Combined areas: adding the crown, beard or eyebrows changes the plan.
- Package level: the number of hotel nights, PRP sessions and extra services.
Hair Transplant Cost by Graft Number

| Grafts | Who it is usually for | Price guide |
| Up to 2,000 | Temples and hairline, early recession (Norwood 2 to 3) | €1,250 to €1,500 |
| About 3,000 | Hairline and front third (Norwood 3 to 4) | €1,500 to €2,000 |
| 4,000 to 5,000 | Front, mid-scalp and part of the crown (Norwood 4 to 5) | €2,000 to €3,000 |
| More than 5,000 | Advanced hair loss, often in two sessions | Personal quote |
A graft contains one to four hairs, so 3,000 grafts usually means 6,000 to 8,000 hairs. The goal is not the highest number of grafts, but the right density in the right place, with enough donor hair left for the future.

Why Hair Transplants Are Cheaper in Turkey
Lower operating and staff costs, the exchange rate and the high number of procedures performed every year all lower the price in Turkey. The country has a large number of experienced hair transplant teams, which creates strong competition. This does not mean every clinic has the same standard. Read our article on why medical treatment is cheaper in Turkey to understand where the difference comes from.
Why Many Patients Choose Antalya for a Hair Transplant
- Short transfer: the clinic area is close to Antalya Airport.
- Direct flights: many UK and European airports fly directly to Antalya.
- A calm city to recover in: after the procedure, you rest by the sea instead of in a busy city.
- All-inclusive packages: hotel, transfers and aftercare are arranged for you.
- Clear communication: patient coordinators help you before, during and after your trip.
Hair Transplant Procedure Step by Step

- Photo assessment: you send photos of the front, top, crown and back of your head.
- Consultation: the doctor examines your hair loss and donor area and designs your hairline with you.
- Preparation: blood tests, shaving if needed and marking of the donor and recipient areas.
- Local anesthesia: the donor and recipient areas are numbed. The injections are the only part most patients feel.
- Extraction: grafts are taken one by one from the back and sides of the head.
- Implantation: channels are opened or grafts are implanted with DHI pens, following the natural angle of your hair.
- Dressing: a light bandage on the donor area and your aftercare instructions.
The whole procedure usually takes six to eight hours, with breaks. You go back to your hotel the same evening.
Your 3-Day Hair Transplant Trip in Antalya
| Day | What happens |
| Day 1 | Arrival at Antalya Airport, VIP transfer to your hotel |
| Day 2 | Consultation, blood tests and the procedure |
| Day 3 | Check-up, first wash, aftercare training and flight home or extra rest day |
Bring a loose button-up shirt for the procedure day, and avoid alcohol and blood-thinning supplements before surgery unless your doctor says otherwise.
Hair Transplant Recovery Timeline
| Time after surgery | What to expect |
| Days 1 to 3 | Mild swelling of the forehead, tight scalp, small crusts |
| Day 6 | The NHS notes you can usually wash gently by hand from this point |
| Days 10 to 14 | Crusts are gone; most people are back at work after 1 to 2 weeks |
| Weeks 2 to 8 | Shedding of transplanted hairs; this is normal |
| Month 4 | New hair usually starts to appear |
| Months 6 to 9 | Clear improvement in density |
| Months 10 to 18 | Full result |
For the first month, avoid heavy exercise, swimming, saunas and direct sun on the scalp. Sleep with your head raised for the first nights and never scratch or pick the crusts. Read our full guide on hair transplant pain, results and recovery.
Unshaven, Women’s and Second Hair Transplants
Unshaven hair transplant: if you cannot take time off or want to keep your hair long, an unshaven or partly shaven procedure may be possible, usually with DHI. It takes longer and is usually priced higher. Read more about the unshaven hair transplant.
Hair transplant for women: women more often have diffuse thinning than a receding hairline, so a diagnosis comes first. A transplant can work well for a high forehead, a widening parting or hair loss after traction. See our page on hair transplant for women.
Second hair transplant: some patients need a second session to add density or cover the crown. A second session is only safe if the donor area still has enough hair. Read our guide to a second hair transplant in Turkey.
Who Is Not a Good Candidate?
The NHS explains that hair transplants suit permanent, inherited baldness and are not usually suitable for other types of hair loss, such as alopecia areata. Surgery may also not be the right choice yet if your hair loss is changing quickly, if your donor area is thin, or if you expect full density over a very large bald area. In these cases the doctor may recommend medical treatment first, a smaller plan or waiting. A clinic that sometimes says “not yet” is a clinic that protects your future donor hair.
How to Choose a Hair Transplant Clinic in Antalya
Antalya has many clinics, and the difference between them is not always visible on a website. Before you book, ask:
- Which doctor examines me and designs my hairline?
- Who performs the extraction, the channel opening and the implantation?
- How many patients does the team treat on the same day?
- How many grafts can my donor area safely give, now and in the future?
- What happens if more grafts are needed on the day? Is there a maximum price?
- How will you follow my results after I fly home, and for how long?
- Can I see before and after photos taken at 12 months or later, of hair loss similar to mine?
The International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery (ISHRS) warns against black market clinics where unqualified technicians perform surgery. Clear answers to these questions are the best protection.
After You Fly Home: Month-by-Month Care
| Period | What to do |
| First 2 weeks | Wash exactly as shown at the clinic, sleep with your head raised, avoid touching the grafts |
| Weeks 2 to 4 | Return to light exercise when allowed; avoid swimming, saunas and strong sun |
| Months 1 to 3 | Expect shedding and a temporary “ugly duckling” phase; keep sending progress photos |
| Months 4 to 12 | New hair grows and thickens; you can cut and style your hair normally |
| After 12 months | Assess the result with your doctor; discuss medication to protect native hair if needed |
Patience is part of the treatment. Many people judge their result too early, before the new hairs have thickened.
Risks and How We Reduce Them
The NHS lists bleeding, infection, reactions to the anesthetic, grafts that do not take and visible scarring as possible risks, and notes that hair can continue to thin around the transplant. You reduce these risks by choosing a doctor-led team, a realistic graft plan, gentle graft handling and by following your aftercare carefully.
Myths and Facts About Hair Transplant Prices
| Myth | Fact |
| “More grafts always means a better result.” | The right number of grafts placed well matters more than the highest number. |
| “All clinics in Turkey are the same.” | Standards, teams and patients per day vary widely between clinics. |
| “DHI is always better than FUE.” | Each technique has strengths; the choice depends on your hair and goals. |
| “The result is visible after a month.” | New hair usually appears from about four months, with full results at 10 to 18 months. |
| “A cheap package is a good deal.” | Very cheap packages often save on doctor time or care, which can cost more later. |
How Your Donor Area Sets the Limit
The back and sides of the head are the donor area. Hair here is usually resistant to the hormone that causes male pattern baldness, which is why it keeps growing after transplantation. However, the donor area is limited. A careful plan takes only what can be removed without making the back of the head look thin, and keeps a reserve for the future if your hair loss continues. This is why two people with the same bald area may receive different graft numbers.
Preparing for Your Hair Transplant
- Avoid alcohol for a few days before the procedure
- Tell the doctor about blood thinners, supplements and any medical conditions
- Do not cut your hair very short before the consultation unless asked; length helps the doctor assess your hair
- Bring a loose button-up shirt and a loose cap or hat
- Plan your return to work for one to two weeks after the procedure
Choosing Between Shaved and Unshaved
| Shaved | Partly shaved | Unshaved | |
| Visibility after surgery | Most visible | Less visible | Least visible |
| Efficiency | Highest | Medium | Lower, takes longer |
| Best for | Larger sessions | Medium sessions | Small sessions and hairlines |
| Price level | Starting level | Higher | Usually highest |
What to Expect in the First Year
| Month | What you usually see |
| Month 1 | Crusts gone; transplanted hairs shed |
| Months 2 to 3 | The “ugly duckling” phase; little visible change |
| Month 4 | First new fine hairs |
| Months 6 to 8 | Clear improvement in coverage |
| Months 10 to 12 | Hair thicker and longer |
| Up to 18 months | Final density and texture, especially at the crown |

Usually three days: arrival, the procedure day and the first wash and check-up.
Is it cheaper to have a hair transplant in Antalya than in the UK?
Usually yes. The NHS says UK prices range from £1,000 to £30,000. In Antalya a complete package often costs a fraction of UK prices, even after flights.
Does a hair transplant hurt?
The procedure is done under local anesthesia. Most patients only feel the first injections and some tightness for a few days afterwards.
How many grafts will I need?
Most patients need between 2,000 and 4,000 grafts. The doctor confirms the number after examining your hair loss and donor area.
When can I go back to work?
Most people return to desk work after one to two weeks, once the crusts have gone.
When will I see the final result?
New hair usually appears after about four months, with full results after 10 to 18 months.
Can I combine a hair transplant with a beard or eyebrow transplant?
Sometimes, depending on your donor area and the total number of grafts. Your doctor decides whether it is safe in one session.
Do I need to shave my head for a hair transplant?
Not always. Unshaved or partly shaved procedures are possible for some patients, usually with DHI, but they take longer and cost more.
How many grafts can my donor area give?
It depends on your donor density and scalp. The doctor assesses this at your consultation so the back of your head does not look thin.
Can I go to work the day after a hair transplant?
Most people take one to two weeks off, because the scalp has small crusts and redness in the first days.
Will I need a second hair transplant?
Some patients choose a second session later for more density or the crown, if the donor area allows.
