Working with a doctor remotely first

International patients usually begin with a remote consultation. A useful consultation reviews medical history, examines donor area photos, discusses realistic coverage and explains technique choice. If the doctor cannot give a structured plan remotely, ask why before committing.

Questions to ask before booking

  • Will a qualified doctor perform graft extraction and incisions, or will technicians do most steps?
  • How is my donor area assessed, photographed and recorded before any planning?
  • What technique is recommended for my case, and why specifically that one?
  • What is the itemised price per graft and what is included in the written package?
  • What is the written policy for complications, follow-up and possible revision?
  • Can I see verified before-and-after cases for patients with similar hair type and case complexity?

Red flags to avoid

  • Quotes given over chat without a written, itemised package
  • Pressure to pay deposits before any medical assessment
  • Refusal to confirm in writing who actually performs the procedure
  • Unverifiable before-and-after photos or scraped reviews
  • Prices significantly below market without a clear reason

Frequently asked questions

What specialty should a hair transplant doctor in Istanbul have?

There is no single mandatory specialty for hair restoration, but dermatology and plastic surgery backgrounds are common. The key is documented focused experience in hair restoration and direct involvement in the procedure, not just supervision.

Will the same doctor I speak to actually perform my procedure?

This is one of the most important questions to ask in writing. In some clinics technicians perform most steps. Confirm in writing which steps the doctor personally performs and which steps the team performs under supervision.

How can I verify a doctor's credentials?

Ask for the full legal name, specialty and registration. You can usually cross-check national medical registers. Be cautious if a clinic refuses to give the operating doctor's name in writing.
