Hair transplant
Hair Transplant Surgery in Istanbul
Every hair transplant at this practice is personally planned and performed by Dr. Arslan Musbeh. One patient per day. Every essential surgical stage performed by the surgeon.
The medical assessment, surgical planning, hairline design, graft extraction, recipient-site creation and implantation are personally performed by Dr. Arslan Musbeh. FUE, Sapphire FUE and DHI are surgical techniques — Dr. Arslan Musbeh selects or combines the appropriate method after personally evaluating the patient's donor capacity, hair-loss pattern, hair characteristics and long-term needs.
What makes a hair transplant surgeon-led?
Dr. Arslan Musbeh personally performs every essential surgical stage: donor assessment, hairline design, extraction and implantation. This direct surgeon involvement means that transection rates, graft survival and the naturalness of the result reflect the skill and judgment of the surgeon who planned and performed the procedure from beginning to completion.
Individual surgical planning
Before any procedure is planned, Dr. Musbeh conducts a trichoscopic assessment of the donor area, evaluates the pattern and likely progression of hair loss, and reviews the patient's medical history. The surgical plan — graft count, extraction density, hairline position, implantation angles — is derived from this individual assessment.
Long-term donor preservation
The donor area is a finite, irreplaceable resource shared between every procedure a patient will ever have. Conservative extraction — never more than 50% of available follicular units from any given area — preserves options for future sessions and prevents the visible thinning that results from over-extraction. This principle guides every surgical plan.
The one-patient-per-day model
Operating on one patient per day allows unhurried consultation, careful hairline design and meticulous surgical execution. It is the manner in which private surgery has always been practised, and it is the model that produces the most consistent results.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How many grafts will I need?
The number of grafts required depends on the extent of hair loss, the size of the recipient area and the target density. Dr. Musbeh calculates this individually during consultation, based on trichoscopic assessment of the donor area and the patient's hair characteristics.
How long does the procedure take?
A typical session takes 6–9 hours, depending on the graft count. The one-patient-per-day model ensures that the procedure is not rushed.
When will I see the final result?
The final result is visible at 12 months. New growth begins at 3–4 months and continues to mature until month 12.
Is the procedure painful?
The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia. Post-operative discomfort is typically mild and managed with prescribed medication.
