Hair Transplant Procedure — Frequently Asked Questions

Expert Answers by Dr. Erkam Caymaz, Istanbul

What does a typical hair transplant day look like?

You arrive in the morning, have a final medical check and pre-op blood work, then sit with Dr. Erkam Caymaz to finalise the hairline drawing. Sapphire FUE extraction takes 2-3 hours, followed by lunch, then channel creation and implantation in the afternoon. The full procedure takes 6-8 hours including breaks. You leave the clinic the same day with detailed aftercare instructions.

How does the local anaesthesia work?

Dr. Caymaz uses a needle-free anaesthesia jet system to numb the donor and recipient areas, which most patients describe as nearly painless. Standard lidocaine injections follow once the area is desensitised. The scalp remains numb for 4-6 hours during the procedure; gentle top-ups are given if needed.

Who is in the room during the operation?

Dr. Erkam Caymaz personally performs the hairline design, channel creation, and supervises every step. The implantation phase is carried out by a trained team of 2-3 senior surgical technicians under his direct oversight — the same model used at every reputable international clinic. We only operate on 1-2 patients per day to guarantee surgeon focus.

How are the recipient channels created?

Channels are made one by one with V-shaped sapphire blades at exactly the correct angle (10-45° depending on zone), direction, and depth for each follicle group. Single-hair grafts go in the hairline, 2-hair units in the transition zone, and 3-4 hair units in the bulk zone for maximum density and naturalness.

Can the procedure be done without shaving my whole head?

Yes, in selected cases. "Unshaven" or partial-shave techniques are available for smaller sessions (under 2,500 grafts) and are particularly suited to female patients and professionals who cannot take visible time off. Dr. Caymaz discusses this option during your consultation based on your hair length and graft count.
