A hair transplant in Turkey usually costs a fraction of the UK or US price, and at Soraca Med in Antalya packages start from €1,250. What you actually pay depends on three things: how many grafts you need, the technique, and what the package includes. As a guide, about 2,000 grafts cost €1,250 to €1,500, 3,000 grafts €1,500 to €2,000 and 4,000 to 5,000 grafts €2,000 to €3,000 at our clinic. This guide explains each price level, what is realistic for your hair loss, and how to tell a safe clinic from a cheap one. Every treatment plan at Soraca Med is reviewed by our plastic surgeon, Dr. Gökhan Bacak.
How Much Does a Hair Transplant Cost in Turkey?
Most reputable clinics in Turkey price hair transplants as a package rather than per graft. A package normally includes the procedure, medication, the first wash, hotel nights and transfers. The NHS notes that in the UK a hair transplant can cost anywhere between £1,000 and £30,000, depending on the extent of hair loss, the type of procedure and the clinic. In Turkey, a complete package for the same number of grafts usually costs several times less.
| Package element | At Soraca Med |
| Starting price | From €1,250 |
| Technique | FUE, Sapphire FUE or DHI, chosen for your hair |
| Anesthesia | Local anesthesia, sedation available |
| Procedure time | Usually 6 to 8 hours, in one day |
| Time in Antalya | Usually 3 days |
| Hotel and transfers | Included in packages |
| First wash and aftercare kit | Included |
| Final result | 12 to 18 months |
Hair Transplant Cost in Turkey by Number of Grafts
A graft is a follicular unit of one to four hairs. The number you need depends on the size of the bald area, the density you want and, most importantly, how much donor hair you have.
| Grafts | Typical area | Price guide at Soraca Med |
| About 1,000 | Temples or a small part of the hairline | Starting package, from €1,250 |
| About 2,000 | Hairline and temples, early recession | €1,250 to €1,500 |
| About 3,000 | Hairline and front third | €1,500 to €2,000 |
| About 4,000 | Front and mid-scalp | €2,000 to €3,000 |
| About 5,000 | Front, mid-scalp and part of the crown | €2,000 to €3,000 |
| 6,000 or more | Advanced hair loss | Only if your donor area allows; personal quote |
1,000 Grafts Hair Transplant Cost in Turkey
1,000 grafts is a small session, often used to rebuild receding temples or refine a hairline. Because the team, operating room and aftercare are the same as for a larger session, small procedures are usually priced at the starting package level rather than at a lower per-graft rate.
2,000 Grafts Hair Transplant Cost in Turkey
2,000 grafts is a common choice for Norwood 2 to 3 hair loss. It can restore the hairline and temples with good density. At Soraca Med, expect €1,250 to €1,500 depending on the technique.
3,000 Grafts Hair Transplant Cost in Turkey
3,000 grafts covers the hairline and the front third of the scalp for most patients with moderate hair loss. This is the most frequently planned session size. Expect €1,500 to €2,000 at our clinic.
4,000 Grafts Hair Transplant Cost in Turkey
At 4,000 grafts the plan usually extends from the hairline into the mid-scalp. Your donor area must be dense enough to give this many grafts without visibly thinning the back of the head. Expect €2,000 to €3,000.
5,000 Grafts Hair Transplant Cost in Turkey
5,000 grafts is a large session for Norwood 4 to 5 hair loss. Not everyone can safely give 5,000 grafts in one day. A careful doctor checks donor density first, and may suggest combining scalp and beard grafts or planning a second session later.
6,000 Grafts Hair Transplant Cost in Turkey
Offers of 6,000 grafts or more in one session should be approached carefully. Few people have enough donor hair, and over-harvesting can leave a patchy donor area that cannot be repaired. If you need this many grafts, a two-stage plan is usually safer. Your price is calculated in a personal quote after your donor area has been assessed.
Per-Graft Price or Package Price: Which Is Better?
You will see two ways of pricing in Turkey. Some clinics quote a price per graft, for example one or two euros per graft. Others, including Soraca Med, quote a package for your planned number of grafts. Both can be fair, but they hide different risks.
| Per-graft pricing | Package pricing | |
| How the price is set | Number of grafts multiplied by a graft price | One price for a planned graft range |
| Advantage | Looks transparent for small sessions | Total trip cost is clear before you travel |
| Main risk | The final bill rises if more grafts are extracted on the day | Packages can hide fewer included nights or services |
| What to ask | “Is there a maximum price?” | “Which graft range and which services are included?” |
The most useful number is not the price per graft. It is the cost per planned and safely achievable graft, together with who performs the procedure and what aftercare you receive. A cheap quote that assumes 5,000 grafts from a donor area that can only give 3,000 is not a bargain.
Hair Transplant Cost in Turkey vs the UK, USA and Europe
| Country | Typical situation |
| United Kingdom | The NHS states that a hair transplant can cost anywhere between £1,000 and £30,000. It is not available on the NHS because it is cosmetic surgery. |
| United States | Clinics usually price per graft, and larger sessions often cost several times more than a Turkish package. |
| Western Europe | Prices are usually closer to UK levels than to Turkish levels. |
| Turkey (Soraca Med, Antalya) | Packages from €1,250, including hotel and transfers. |
Flights and a few nights in Antalya add a small amount compared with the difference in procedure price. What you should compare is the complete cost of the result: the procedure, travel, aftercare and the chance of needing a repair later.
Hair Transplant Cost by Technique: FUE, Sapphire FUE and DHI

| Technique | How it works | Best for | Price level |
| FUE | Grafts are removed one by one and placed into channels opened with steel blades | Most types of hair loss | Starting level |
| Sapphire FUE | Channels are opened with fine sapphire blades, allowing very small, dense incisions | Dense packing and precise hairlines | Slightly higher |
| DHI | Grafts are implanted directly with a Choi implanter pen, without opening channels first | Unshaven procedures and hairline detail | Usually higher |
The tool matters less than the team. Graft survival depends on careful extraction, how long grafts stay outside the body and how gently they are handled. Read more about Sapphire FUE and DHI hair transplant.
What Is Included in a Hair Transplant Package in Turkey?
- Consultation with the doctor and hairline design
- Blood tests before the procedure
- The procedure under local anesthesia
- Medication, shampoo, lotion and a neck pillow
- First hair wash and aftercare instructions, usually the day after the procedure
- Hotel accommodation, usually 2 to 3 nights
- Airport, hotel and clinic transfers
- Follow-up by photos after you return home
Ask what is not included. Extra hotel nights, additional PRP sessions, medication after you go home and the cost of any extra grafts are the most common extras.
Why Is a Hair Transplant Cheaper in Turkey?
Lower clinic running costs, lower staff costs, the exchange rate and the very large number of procedures performed each year all reduce the price. Competition between clinics also keeps prices low. The quality of the result is not determined by the country, but by the team you choose. Read more in our article on why medical treatment is cheaper in Turkey.
Is It Safe to Get a Hair Transplant in Turkey?
It can be very safe when a qualified medical team performs it in a licensed clinic. The risk comes from very cheap offers where technicians, not doctors, perform most of the procedure. The International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery (ISHRS) runs a campaign against such unlicensed clinics, and its members regularly repair results from them.
Warning signs of an unsafe clinic:
- A price far below every other clinic
- “Unlimited grafts” or very high graft promises without a donor assessment
- No information on who designs the hairline and who performs the critical steps
- Many patients treated by the same team on the same day
- No clear aftercare or contact after you return home
How Many Grafts Do You Need?

| Hair loss stage | What it looks like | Typical graft range |
| Norwood 2 | Mild recession at the temples | 1,000 to 1,500 |
| Norwood 3 | Deeper temple recession | 1,500 to 2,500 |
| Norwood 4 | Recession plus thinning at the crown | 2,500 to 3,500 |
| Norwood 5 | Larger connected bald area | 3,500 to 4,500 |
| Norwood 6 to 7 | Advanced hair loss | 4,500 or more, often in two stages |
These are typical ranges, not promises. Your donor density, hair thickness and colour, and future hair loss all change the plan. A good surgeon also plans for the future: if you are young and your hair loss is still progressing, a lower, conservative hairline protects you from an unnatural look later.
Who Is Not a Good Candidate?
According to the NHS, hair transplants suit permanent, inherited baldness and are not usually suitable for other types of hair loss, such as alopecia areata. A transplant may also not be the right step yet if:
- Your hair loss is very recent and changing quickly
- Your donor area at the back of the head is thin
- You expect the density of a full head of hair over a large bald area
- You have a scalp condition or a medical problem that has not been checked
In these cases your doctor may suggest medical treatment first, a smaller plan or no surgery at all. An honest “not yet” is a sign of a good clinic.
Hair Transplant Cost for Women
Women usually have diffuse thinning rather than a receding hairline, so they need a careful diagnosis before surgery. When a transplant is suitable, for example for a high forehead or a thinning parting, many women prefer an unshaven or partly shaven technique. Read more about hair transplant for women in Turkey.
Do You Need Medication After a Hair Transplant?
Transplanted hair from the back of the head is resistant to the hormone that causes male pattern baldness, but your existing hair is not. Many men therefore discuss medication with their doctor to protect the native hair around the transplant. These medicines have possible side effects and are not right for everyone, so they should only be used after a medical consultation. PRP sessions are sometimes offered to support healing and native hair, although the evidence for them is still limited.
Your Hair Transplant Trip to Antalya Day by Day
- Day 1, arrival: transfer from Antalya Airport to your hotel.
- Day 2, consultation and procedure: examination of your donor area, hairline design, blood tests and the procedure under local anesthesia.
- Day 3, first wash: check-up, first hair wash and a clear explanation of your aftercare routine.
- Day 3 or 4, flight home: most patients fly home with a cap and their aftercare kit.
After you return home, you send photos at set times so the team can follow your growth.
Hair Transplant Results and Recovery Timeline
| Time after surgery | What to expect |
| Days 1 to 3 | Mild swelling of the forehead, small crusts, tight scalp |
| Days 7 to 10 | Crusts wash off; most people return to desk work after 1 to 2 weeks |
| Weeks 2 to 8 | Transplanted hairs shed; this is normal |
| Month 4 | New hair usually starts to appear |
| Months 6 to 9 | Clear change in density |
| Months 10 to 18 | Full result |
The NHS advises that grafts are not secure for the first 2 weeks and that you may be told to cut down on exercise in the first month. Do not touch the grafts, follow your washing routine exactly, sleep with your head raised for the first nights and avoid swimming, saunas and direct sun until your doctor allows.
How to Compare Hair Transplant Quotes from Turkey
When you have two or three quotes, put them side by side and check:
- Graft plan: how many grafts, for which area, and is that number safe for your donor area?
- Team: who examines you, who designs the hairline, and who opens the channels or implants the grafts?
- Patients per day: how many patients does the same team treat on your day?
- Technique: why is FUE, Sapphire FUE or DHI recommended for you specifically?
- What is included: hotel nights, transfers, medication, first wash, PRP and follow-up.
- Extras: what happens to the price if more grafts are used on the day?
- Aftercare: how do you contact the clinic after you go home, and for how long?
- Realistic photos: before and after photos of patients with hair loss similar to yours, taken at 12 months or later.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a hair transplant cost in Turkey?
At Soraca Med in Antalya, packages start from €1,250. About 2,000 grafts cost €1,250 to €1,500, 3,000 grafts €1,500 to €2,000 and 4,000 to 5,000 grafts €2,000 to €3,000, depending on the technique.
How much does a 2,000 grafts hair transplant cost in Turkey?
At our clinic, about 2,000 grafts cost €1,250 to €1,500 including the procedure and package services.
How much does a 4,000 grafts hair transplant cost in Turkey?
About 4,000 grafts usually cost €2,000 to €3,000 at Soraca Med, provided your donor area can safely give this number of grafts.
Can I get 6,000 grafts in one session?
Only a small number of people have enough donor hair. For most patients, a large plan is safer in two stages, so the back of the head does not become visibly thin.
Is DHI more expensive than FUE?
Usually yes, because DHI with implanter pens takes longer and needs more trained staff. The best technique depends on your hair, not on the price.
What is included in a hair transplant package in Turkey?
Usually the consultation, blood tests, the procedure, medication, the first wash, hotel nights and transfers. Always ask what is not included.
How long do I need to stay in Turkey for a hair transplant?
Most patients stay about three days: consultation and tests, the procedure, and the first wash and check-up.
When will I see the final result?
New hair usually appears from about four months. Full results are visible after about 10 to 18 months.
Is a hair transplant permanent?
Hair taken from the back of the head is resistant to hair loss and normally keeps growing. Your own non-transplanted hair can still thin over time, which is why some patients use medication to protect it.
