Hair transplantation is a preferred surgical intervention to solve hair loss or sparse hair problems. This procedure is widely practised around the world and people evaluate different countries to regain their hair and improve their aesthetic appearance. Turkey and the UK are two of the most preferred countries for hair transplantation. Each of them offers its own unique advantages and offers the know-how and technology in hair transplantation to its patients. In this article, we will compare the hair transplant services, costs and quality in Turkey and the UK, thus helping you make an informed choice towards the hair transplant process.
| UK | TURKEY | |
| 💸Cost | Average cost: £4,000 to £12,000 or more. | Average cost: £1,500 ila £5,000. |
Hair transplant procedures tend to be more affordable in Turkey compared to the UK, making Turkey an attractive option for many people seeking hair restoration. Prices can vary depending on various factors such as the clinic, the surgeon’s expertise, the technique used and the number of grafts required.
The UK has been collecting performance evaluations of its surgeons in the healthcare system by recording patient feedback since 2014. However, this system still lacks certain professional standards and doctors’ evaluations can be subjective. On the other hand, Turkish plastic surgeons receive more medical education than many other foreign colleagues internationally. The country’s large population (84 million) and booming medical tourism sector allow Turkish surgeons to practice more.
The fact that there is an average of 1.22 general surgeons per 25 thousand people in Turkey shows that the surgeon profession is a highly demanded and lucrative profession in the country. This rate is above the average level in the world. Surgeons are in an advantageous position socially and economically. There are many board-certified surgeons in the country who have the necessary qualifications to become a surgeon. At the same time, these surgeons are likely to have more practical experience than their UK counterparts.
The patient has a great influence on the success of hair transplantation; however, it is a known fact that both Turkey and the UK are successful in achieving effective results. When we do a Google search for ‘hair transplant before-after photos’, we mostly come across clearly successful results of Turkish clinics.
Turkey and the UK are known as safe countries. Although before 2020, both countries experienced serious conflicts, the number of terrorist incidents in the UK since January 2020 is more than 5 and 2 times the number of terrorist incidents in Turkey, respectively. In Turkey, the terrorist threat is most intense in the south and south-eastern countryside and border regions. In the UK, terrorist incidents are mostly experienced in densely populated cities.

I researched a lot of hospitals and doctors before my hair transplant operation and I met esteworld hospital with the recommendation of my friends. I met a very caring and friendly team. They were very attentive before, during and after the operation. My operation was also very healthy. Thank you again to all esteworld hospital staff and Burak Hoca
I had a hair transplant at Esteworld on 9.8.2023. I traveled from Australia and was taken care of by the clinic from the moment I arrived. The staff and team were always extremely friendly and professional. Communicating with Hemra from overseas was excellent and Ceylan (English translator) made sure I was well looked after while I was at the clinic. I am still waiting for the final result, but so far everything has gone perfectly.
They follow the process from the first day to the last day perfectly. I had the procedure on the recommendation of a friend and I can recommend it to those who have hair problems with peace of mind. Thank you very much to the Esteworld family.

After 10 days of my beard and moustache transplant experience, I can confidently say that this clinic offered the highest level of service I have ever experienced.

With the advice of my doctor friend and the research I have done, I decided to do beard transplantation in this center. From the doctor to other health personnel about the process, they were warm, friendly and answered my questions. As soon as you go, someone who will take care of you does not leave you during the process and guides you together at every stage. After the process is over, they do not stop communicating, they are in constant communication and inform what needs to be done. I thank all the employees again.
I am glad I chose Esteword 🙂 🙂 🙂
