Hair transplant for patients from Vienna

The procedure takes place in Istanbul, approx. 2 h 15 min by air from Wien-Schwechat. Consultation, planning and aftercare happen conveniently from Vienna.

From Vienna to Istanbul

At around two hours from Schwechat, Vienna is the shortest connection of all the cities our patients come from. That makes short stays for PRP or mesotherapy appealing too: out on Friday, back on Sunday. For a hair transplant we plan three nights.

Vienna and Istanbul are around 1,242 kilometres apart in a straight line. VIE has regular direct flights; flight time is approx. 2 h 15 min. You book your flight yourself or with our help – we align appointment and pick-up with it.

Your stay when travelling from Vienna

  1. Arrivals hall at Istanbul Airport
    Day 1

    Arrival

    Flight from VIE, pick-up in Istanbul right in the arrivals hall and drive to the hotel.

  2. Our head surgeon works on the patient’s hairline with magnifying loupes
    Day 2

    Analysis and procedure

    First comes a trichoscopy to analyse your hair and scalp, plus a blood test and an ECG. Then your individual hairline is drawn.

    This is followed by the extraction and implantation of the hair follicles. The procedure is carried out under sedation (“Sleep Deep”). Afterwards you receive a PRP treatment.

  3. Follow-up conversation with our head surgeon at the clinic
    Day 3

    Check-up, first hair wash and departure

    The head surgeon personally checks your donor and recipient areas and carries out the first hair wash himself. This is also included in the package.

    You then have your final consultation and receive all the medication and care products you need, with a detailed explanation of how to use them and of your aftercare.

    From the afternoon, after the final check-up, you can travel home.

Frequently asked questions

Can I have a hair transplant directly in Vienna?

The procedure itself takes place in Istanbul, where teams work with these techniques every day. Everything before and after – photo analysis, planning, questions and aftercare – runs via WhatsApp, email and video call from Vienna.

How long is the flight from Vienna to Istanbul?

approx. 2 h 15 min from Wien-Schwechat. In total we plan three nights in Istanbul.

How much does a hair transplant cost for patients from Vienna?

After the photo analysis you get a fixed price for procedure, hotel, transfers, support and aftercare. It is usually well below what the procedure alone costs in Austria. You book the flight from Vienna separately.

How does aftercare work once I am back in Vienna?

You send us photos after fifteen days, four weeks and three, six and twelve months, and the head surgeon reviews your progress. Your coordinator is reachable on WhatsApp any time.

Send photos for analysis

Send us four photos. You will get a medical assessment with method, graft count and fixed price, usually within 24 hours.
