What a hair transplant and rhinoplasty package is

This stay pairs two different sittings in one Istanbul trip: follicular units taken from the scalp donor and placed into a thinning hairline, mid-scalp or crown, and a primary rhinoplasty that changes the shape of the nose. Extraction is FUE with a small punch. The nose is closed when the paper still fits, open if the tip needs that view. It is not a ladies hair sitting, not filler in either site, and not a packed hairline plus a millimetre-perfect profile from a photograph.

The written offer from your treating hospital or clinic should confirm the scope for this combined package: the FUE map and the nose sitting named after assessment, a hospital night after the rhinoplasty. Who extracts, who implants and who operates on the nose belongs on the paper, not in a slogan.

Who this package is for

Surgeons usually consider adult men with patterned scalp loss and a usable donor, whose facial growth has finished, who want a change to a primary nose, and who accept that the two sittings are sequenced, not squeezed into one lunch hour. If the donor is modest, the hair plan may stay conservative so the bank is not emptied in the same week as a general anaesthetic. A previous nose job, rib grafts, or a very weak tip often needs a revision rhinoplasty quote, not this pair.

The date is often postponed if a racing hair loss will outrun one sitting, if active scalp disease is present, if the team has asked you to stop smoking, or if a long-term condition makes a general anaesthetic less safe. Send daylight photographs — scalp front, top, sides and the donor at the back, plus nose front, both profiles and from below — without a filter. Suitability is confirmed in Istanbul before anyone operates. Beard, eyebrow or PRP work in the same stay is not assumed.

Over-harvesting the donor to chase a packed hairline in the same week as chasing a social-media nose in millimetres is refused; that is a clinical limit, not an upsell.

Theatre, anaesthetic and nights in Istanbul

Plan five to seven days in the city. That window covers the in-person assessment, the two sittings as sequenced on the paper, the hospital night after the nose, the first hair wash, the nasal splint coming off around day seven, and clearance to fly. Two or three nights belong to a hair-only outpatient stay, not this pair. The hospital night sits inside those days; it does not replace them. Leave room for an extra night if the team asks.

The nose is under general anaesthetic. The hair session is under local anaesthetic, with or without sedation, and is usually four to eight hours. The two are not assumed to share one theatre list: the written plan names the order of days. Discharge is signed by the team — it is not an advertising date.

Recovery after you fly home

The first weeks are dual care: scalp rules (no gym sweat, no tight hat, no scratching) and nose rules (splint until it comes off, no glasses that press on the bridge, no sleeping on your front). Sleep as you were shown so grafts are not crushed. Shock loss in weeks two to four is expected on the scalp; transplanted hairs often shed before they grow. New hair is often seen around month three or four; density builds between six and twelve months. The nose you see when the splint comes off is not the final one; nasal shape settles over three to twelve months. Desk work is often one to two weeks if the surgeon agrees. None of that is a density or millimetre guarantee.

Red flags after you return — spreading redness on scalp or nose, pus, a temperature that persists, a sudden heavy nose bleed, pain that is getting worse, or breathlessness — mean a local clinician or A&E first, then your coordinator. Take the discharge note with you.

Questions from you

These notes answer questions people raise before they accept a written treatment plan. They describe what that plan should make clear. They are not a promise that any partner hospital uses a particular technique, device or payment arrangement. With your consent, an enquiry may be shared with an authorised healthcare partner.

How much donor hair can safely be taken, and what reserve should remain?

The permanent donor zone is the hair at the back and sides that resists pattern loss. Capacity is not a follicle count per square centimetre on its own. Hair calibre, curl, the contrast between hair and scalp, and how much of that zone may later be exposed all belong in the written plan. Taking more than that zone can thin the donor area and make the small round FUE marks easier to see. A high graft slogan does not measure the reserve that is left. Source: ISHRS position statement on physician practice.

Why is FUE, an implanter pen, or another approach being proposed?

ISHRS treats taking tissue from the donor area and making the recipient sites as separate surgical steps. FUE describes removing grafts one by one from the back or sides. DHI, or a Choi implanter, describes how a prepared graft is placed. It is not a second operation that replaces FUE. The written plan should name the harvest instrument and the placement instrument separately. Source: ISHRS position statement on physician practice.

Who will diagnose, design, harvest, make the sites, place the grafts and follow up?

The ISHRS board statement revised on 13 July 2024 says that diagnosis, planning, donor harvesting, hairline design, recipient-site creation, management of medical problems and aftercare are to be done by a licensed physician trained in hair restoration. In some countries a physician assistant or nurse practitioner may work within the limits of that licence and under that physician’s supervision. ISHRS regards a surgical step performed by an unlicensed person as unethical. Graft placement is not a separate bullet in that list, so the written plan still has to name who places the grafts. Ongoing loss of your own hair does not cancel the transplant, and longer-term medical follow-up should be written down as well. Source: ISHRS position statement on physician practice.

How will my nasal breathing be examined before surgery?

AAO-HNS guidance asks that nasal blockage be assessed on its own when a change in shape is being discussed. A written examination should separate the contribution of the septum, the inferior turbinates, the internal nasal valve and the external nasal valve. “The septum is bent” does not cover those four. Source: AAO-HNS rhinoplasty guideline.

How will the airway be protected or corrected while the shape changes?

Taking the bridge down too far can narrow the internal valve. Weakening the tip cartilages can spoil both the shape and the breathing. A cosmetic reduction and any valve or septal repair belong in the same written plan, so one is not discovered later as a side effect of the other. Source: AAO-HNS rhinoplasty guideline.

If this is a revision, will earlier records be reviewed, and where would a graft come from?

If septal cartilage has not already been used, it is the first source to look at. When the septum is not enough, ear cartilage is used for the tip and rib cartilage for larger structural support. A rib graft leaves an extra wound and pain. Ear cartilage can change the contour of the ear. A second source should not be chosen until the old note, and where any previous graft was placed, is known. Source: AAO-HNS rhinoplasty guideline.

If I bleed, develop an infection or cannot breathe properly after I fly home, who follows that up and who pays?

The NHS asks people having cosmetic surgery abroad to get in writing where a complication would be reviewed, what further surgery and a return journey would cost, and whether the clinic’s insurance covers the patient. Travel insurance usually does not cover surgical complications. Follow-up after surgery in the UK is the surgeon’s responsibility. A clinic abroad may not offer the same follow-up or a doctor in your own country. The NHS uses 7–10 days after facial surgery as a planning window before flying, because of clot risk. Your own surgeon gives the personal clearance. Bleeding that will not stop, sudden narrowing of the airway, fever and a wound that opens need prompt review. A photograph is not a substitute for examination and endoscopy. This page does not say that any partner pays for revision surgery or the flight. Source: NHS advice on cosmetic surgery abroad.

Can my existing hair shed temporarily after a transplant?

Yes. ISHRS describes temporary “shock loss” (telogen effluvium) in which existing, non-transplanted hairs may shed after a hair transplant; it can make the area look thinner for a time. This is different from the temporary shedding of transplanted hairs that can happen before later growth begins. ISHRS says the native-hair shedding is typically temporary, but this does not predict what will happen in an individual case. Ask the doctor responsible for your care what shedding to expect and when a change should be reviewed. Read the ISHRS FUE guidance for its description of native-hair shedding after surgery.

Can rhinoplasty temporarily affect my sense of smell or taste?

Yes. Nasal swelling and crusting can temporarily reduce smell and taste while the inside of the nose heals; NHS hospital aftercare guidance says this often improves over the following weeks. An altered sense of smell is also listed among possible complications, so persistent, worsening or otherwise concerning changes should be discussed with the surgical team rather than assumed to be routine. Follow the nose-care instructions you were given and do not put anything inside the nose unless advised. NHS nasal surgery aftercare and NHS rhinoplasty guidance.

Why can my nose look uneven while swelling is going down?

Swelling does not always settle evenly, so the nose can look temporarily uneven as healing progresses. The shape seen when the splint comes off is not the final contour; refinement takes months and can continue for up to a year. That does not prove that an irregularity is only swelling, so raise a new or persistent concern at follow-up, and contact the surgeon sooner if you have worsening pain, bleeding, fever or breathing difficulty. ASPS rhinoplasty recovery overview.

How long does tip swelling last after rhinoplasty?

There is no single date when tip swelling disappears. Initial swelling often improves over the first weeks, while the finer nasal contour can take many months to emerge and may continue refining for up to a year. Skin thickness and the operation performed can affect the pace, so the early shape should not be treated as the final result. Keep scheduled reviews and ask the surgeon to assess swelling that is worsening, one-sided with increasing pain, or accompanied by fever or breathing problems. ASPS rhinoplasty recovery guidance.

When can I wear glasses after rhinoplasty?

Wait until your surgical team says glasses can rest on the bridge; there is no safe universal date for every operation. Pressure on the nose can matter while the bones and tissues are healing, and the plan may differ depending on what was done. Ask whether you should use cheek or forehead support and for how long. If you have already worn glasses and notice new pain, a change in shape or breathing, contact the team for advice. UC Davis rhinoplasty aftercare.

When is it too early to judge whether I need revision rhinoplasty?

It is often too early to judge the final shape in the first weeks or months because swelling can hide the result and nasal contour may continue to refine for up to a year. A concern about breathing, healing or a sudden change should still be raised promptly; waiting for swelling to settle is not a reason to ignore symptoms. The surgeon who knows what was changed can review the operation and healing before discussing whether revision is appropriate. ASPS rhinoplasty recovery guidance.

How accurate is a 3D rhinoplasty simulation?

A 3D simulation can help you and the surgeon discuss a goal, but it cannot guarantee the nose you will have after surgery. In one small study of 40 patients, reviewers preferred the actual postoperative result to the simulation in most cases, even though the authors considered simulation useful for communication and planning. Real healing, anatomy and surgical judgement affect the result, and a simulation does not show every functional or recovery issue. Ask the surgeon which parts of the image are achievable aims, what may differ, and how breathing will be assessed separately. Three-dimensional imaging study in rhinoplasty.

Example wording from Estethica’s “Warranty Certificate”

The following is an example of wording in a hair-transplant certificate issued by Estethica. The graft-count placeholder is left blank, as it is in the supplied document:

With your consent and acceptance of the operation, your hair transplant operation was performed with ........ grafts and the operation got completed. As long as you fully fulfill all procedures correctly before and after surgery, you will not experience loss of any graft implanted. We guarantee that the number of grafts implanted are accurate and that the implanted hair will grow in a healthy way.

This quotation reproduces Estethica’s document wording and its statement is conditional on following the procedures before and after surgery. It is the issuer’s wording, not a guarantee by Just Clinic Istanbul or an unnamed clinic. It does not show that this certificate is included with, or applies to, any package discussed on this page. The supplied certificate does not state lifetime cover, a refund or free repeat surgery.
