More and more men who suffer from hair loss and want to undergo surgery to help them are flying to Turkey for a hair transplant. The clinics there have been doing a billion-dollar business for a long time. But is that safe? Krone+ asked experts about it – and let an Austrian tell the story!
The economic situation in Turkey can certainly be described as tense. So it is understandable that more efforts than ever are being made to attract foreign tourists who come specifically for medical treatment. That is already five times as many as five years ago. Turkey advertises European standards at low prices.
Most clients come for a rhinoplasty, fertility treatment or gastric band. Anyone who can prove such a procedure can now even get a 50 percent discount on the Turkish Airlines flight. And when you stroll through the tourist areas in Istanbul, you immediately notice the large numbers of men with bandages around their heads, some even with a kind of sweatband. They all came to Turkey for a hair transplant, which has now become the largest provider of such procedures in the world.
