Cheap Hair Transplant FUE Factory Mill In Turkey & Iran
Hair transplants breed a new type of tourist in TurkeyIn Turkey, revenue from popular procedures adds to country’s $7B medical tourism industry

“There is a new way to spot tourists in Turkey or in Iran, and it doesn’t rely on catching a glimpse of selfie sticks, maps or cameras slung around their necks.
Instead, look for the black terry cloth headbands and a telltale triangle of red spots on their scalps.” (hair transplant)
Doctors in Europe are feeling the pinch from competition from doctors in Istanbul Turkey and Iran who have set up hair transplant mills. This is similar to what the Russians did in the 1990s when setting up Cataract Mills for eye surgery. These are all FUE procedures and I doubt the ladies performing the FUE are all licensed doctors. It seems they are offering travel packages that cover air fare, hotel and the surgery for a 3 day stay. Of course, there is no guarantee of quality and there is no recourse if something goes wrong when these people return home after the surgery. Infections, if you get one, will have to be treated by a local doctor and if the procedure was not done right, the patient will not know for 8 months, which is the time that it takes for the hair to grow after a hair transplant. I suspect that the quality of the work ranges from good to poor, depending upon the clinic that is chosen. It is a bit of a gamble. Stay away from politics in either country or your stay may be longer than you planned.
I don’t think it’s a bad idea to go to another country as long as the people are skilled, their environment is sterile. What the American doctors,dentists charge in the U.S. is a joke. I had dental work done in Mexico 17 years ago, just as good as the u.s. if you get your info before you go. $2,500 root canal with a crown in the US. Mexico $350. A dental bridge in Mexico $1,200. U.s. $4,600. Funny my actual crowns came from Tuscon Arizona that were cemented in Mexico.
The photo attached with the post is from Iran, not Turkey. Even the image filename state that, and you know it. There are HT clinics in Turkey that are at the same level of those in the US, and maybe even better (not going to name them). Also, there are probably as much bad HT clinics in the US as there are in Turkey. Just because the cost is lower, doesn’t always imply the quality is worse. There are many variables allowing HT clinics in Turkey to do surgeries with lower costs, which is impossible in the US. Employee salaries, regulations, taxes, and real estates, just to name a few. I am not from Turkey, but I hate when clinics discredit those abroad, especially those competing with them in quality.
