How Much Does a Hair Transplant Cost in Turkey in 2026?
Hair transplant cost in Turkey ranges from £1,547 to £1,547 ($1,951 to $2,205 / €1,805 to €2,040) all-inclusive at MedProper Istanbul. This covers the procedure, surgeon fee, all grafts, hotel, airport transfers, PRP, medications, and 12-month aftercare. There are no per-graft pricing traps and no hidden charges.
By comparison, the same procedure at a Harley Street clinic in London costs £8,000 to £15,000 for the surgery alone — no hotel, no transfers, no PRP included. In the USA, prices range from $10,000 to $20,000 at a private clinic. Even after adding flights, having your hair transplant in Turkey saves 75 to 85 per cent.

Hair Transplant Cost by Graft Count
Most patients need between 2,000 and 4,500 grafts. One graft contains 1 to 4 hair follicles, so 3,000 grafts typically produces 6,000 to 9,000 individual hairs. Here is how graft count affects the price at MedProper versus UK and US clinics.

Key difference: MedProper does not charge per graft. Our pricing covers the full procedure up to the stated graft limit. Whether you need 2,000 or 4,500 grafts with standard FUE, the price is the same. UK and US clinics typically charge £2 to £5 per graft (or $3 to $7), which means the price scales linearly with graft count.
This flat-rate model benefits patients requiring higher graft counts — which is the majority. A 4,000-graft FUE at a per-graft UK clinic charging £3 per graft would cost £12,000 for the surgery alone. At MedProper, the same procedure costs from £1,547 all-inclusive.

Turkish Airlines operates direct flights from seven US cities: New York JFK (10 hours), Chicago O'Hare, Los Angeles, Washington Dulles, Houston, Miami, and San Francisco. Return fares range from $500 to $800 in economy and $1,500 to $2,500 in business class.
Why Are Hair Transplant Prices Lower in Turkey?
Turkey's hair transplant costs are lower than the UK and USA because of four structural factors — not because of inferior quality.
1. Operating costs are 60-70% lower. Staff salaries, hospital overheads, medical supplies, and rent in Istanbul are a fraction of London or New York equivalents. A board-certified surgeon in Istanbul earns a competitive salary by Turkish standards, but it is 3-5x less than a Harley Street equivalent. These savings are passed directly to patients.
2. Volume creates economies of scale. Istanbul performs an estimated 5,000 hair transplants per week. This volume means clinics negotiate bulk pricing on supplies, operate at near-full capacity, and develop specialised systems that reduce per-procedure costs. Individual surgeons accumulate experience 5-10x faster than their UK or US counterparts — performing 300 to 500 procedures per year versus 30 to 50.
3. The currency advantage. The Turkish lira has depreciated significantly against the pound and dollar over the past decade. Costs denominated in lira (staff, facilities, supplies) are converted at favourable rates when priced in GBP or USD. Imported surgical instruments and implants are priced at market rates regardless of location, so these remain constant — but they represent a minority of total procedure costs.
4. Government support for medical tourism. Turkey actively supports its medical tourism sector through tax incentives for healthcare providers, simplified visa processes for medical travellers, and investment in healthcare infrastructure. This public-private alignment drives prices down while maintaining quality standards.
Red Flags: How to Spot Overpriced or Underpriced Clinics
Too cheap (under £1,000 / $1,300)
Technician-only procedures with no surgeon supervision
Per-graft pricing that appears low but escalates ("from £0.50/graft" = £2,000+ once they assess you need 4,000+ grafts)
No named surgeon on the quote
Budget hotels and group transport (not private VIP transfers)
No post-operative aftercare or follow-up
Too expensive (over £3,500 / $4,500 for standard FUE)
Celebrity clinic premium without corresponding quality improvement
Per-graft pricing at £3+ per graft
Mandatory add-ons (PRP charged separately at £300-£500, hotel not included)
MedProper pricing (the sweet spot)
All-inclusive, transparent, no hidden charges
Named board-certified surgeon
JCI-accredited hospital environment
4-5 star hotel included
PRP, medications, aftercare kit included
12-month follow-up included
Is It Worth Going to Turkey for a Hair Transplant?
The numbers speak clearly. Even at the conservative end — a £1,547 MedProper FUE versus an £8,000 UK procedure — you save £6,350. That saving covers return flights 25 times over.
But cost is only part of the equation. Turkey's other advantages include:
Surgeon experience. MedProper surgeons perform hundreds of hair transplants annually. Most UK surgeons perform fewer than 50. Experience correlates directly with graft survival rates and natural-looking hairline design.
Technique availability. Sapphire FUE and DHI are standard at MedProper. Many UK clinics still primarily offer standard steel-blade FUE.
All-inclusive convenience. One price, one booking. No coordinating between surgeon, anaesthetist, hospital, hotel, and PRP provider. MedProper handles every detail.
Short travel time. Istanbul is 3.5 hours from London — closer than many European holiday destinations. Direct flights from the US take 10-11 hours.
The main trade-off is that your long-term follow-up is remote (via WhatsApp and video call) rather than face-to-face. MedProper provides 12 months of remote aftercare, and any complication requiring in-person assessment is covered under our aftercare guarantee.
Financing Your Hair Transplant
MedProper does not offer direct financing, but the all-inclusive price from £1,547 makes it accessible through several routes:
Medical finance providers: Companies like Credabl, Omni Capital, and Chrysalis Finance offer personal medical loans at 0% or low APR for cosmetic procedures abroad.
Credit cards: A 0% purchase credit card can spread the cost over 12-24 months interest-free.
Personal loans: High-street banks offer personal loans from 3.9% APR.
Savings: At £1,547, the MedProper price is often lower than what UK patients have already spent on unsuccessful treatments (minoxidil, PRP courses, scalp micropigmentation) over 2-3 years.
For US patients, medical credit providers such as CareCredit and Prosper Healthcare Lending offer similar options.
Is Turkey really cheaper for hair transplants, or are there hidden costs?
Turkey is genuinely cheaper due to structural cost differences (lower overheads, higher volume, currency advantage). At MedProper, our all-inclusive price covers everything: surgeon, grafts, hotel, transfers, PRP, medication, and 12-month aftercare. There are no hidden charges. The only additional costs are your flights and travel insurance.
Is a cheap hair transplant in Turkey safe?
Price alone does not determine safety. A £1,650 all-inclusive hair transplant at a JCI-accredited facility with a board-certified surgeon is safer than a £3,000 procedure at an unlicensed clinic with no named surgeon. The key criteria are: JCI or TEMOS accreditation, named board-certified surgeon (not just technicians), transparent pricing, structured aftercare, and verifiable patient results.
Why is hair transplant so cheap in Turkey compared to the UK?
Four factors: lower operating costs (staff, facility, supplies), economies of scale (5,000+ procedures per week in Istanbul), the lira-to-pound exchange rate, and government support for medical tourism. Quality is not compromised — MedProper uses the same instruments, techniques, and safety protocols as leading UK and US clinics.
How much does a hair transplant cost in the USA?
In the USA, a hair transplant costs $10,000 to $20,000 at a private clinic, depending on technique and graft count. Many US clinics charge $5 to $8 per graft, so a 3,000-graft procedure costs $15,000 to $24,000. At MedProper, the same procedure costs from $2,100 all-inclusive — a saving of 79 to 91 per cent.
Should I get a hair transplant in Turkey or the UK?
Both countries have skilled surgeons. The key differences are cost (75-85% less in Turkey), experience volume (Turkish surgeons perform 5-10x more procedures annually), and the all-inclusive service model. The trade-off is that long-term follow-up is remote rather than face-to-face, though MedProper provides 12 months of video and WhatsApp aftercare.
Do I need to pay per graft in Turkey?
Not at MedProper. Our pricing is per procedure with a maximum graft allowance (4,500 for standard FUE, 4,000 for DHI, 6,000 for Mega Session). Whether you need 2,000 or 4,500 grafts, the price is the same. This protects you from cost escalation — a common issue with per-graft pricing models in the UK and USA.
Is it worth flying to Turkey for a hair transplant?
For most patients, the answer is clearly yes. A £1,650 MedProper FUE versus a £10,000 UK procedure saves you £8,350 — enough to cover flights 35 times over. Istanbul is 3.5 hours from London (closer than Tenerife) and 10 hours direct from New York. You also benefit from surgeons who perform hundreds of procedures per year and a comprehensive all-inclusive package.
What is the best time to get a hair transplant in Turkey?
Any time of year works. Many patients prefer autumn and winter because wearing a hat post-procedure is more natural, and sun exposure during early healing is lower. Spring is also popular. Summer works fine with appropriate sun protection — MedProper provides a hat and SPF products in the aftercare kit. Avoid booking during the 2 weeks around major Turkish holidays (Eid periods) when clinic capacity may be reduced.
How long do I need to stay in Turkey for a hair transplant?
The standard MedProper itinerary is 3 to 4 nights. Day 1: arrival and consultation. Day 2: procedure. Day 3: post-op check and PRP session. Day 3 or 4: departure. Mega Session patients (2-day procedure) stay 4 to 5 nights.
