Beard & hair transplant for patients from Austria

Patchy beards can be filled, an undefined cheek line can be shaped. For patients from Austria we organise the whole stay in Istanbul – from photo analysis to aftercare at home.

The beard line is drawn before the beard transplant

Every year many people travel from Austria to Istanbul for a beard transplant. Flight time from Vienna, Graz and Linz is between 2 h 5 min and 2 h 20 min.

The ÖGK and private insurers in Austria usually do not cover cosmetic hair transplants. So you pay yourself – and with us a fixed price that already includes hotel, transfers, support and aftercare.

Beard alone or together with scalp hair

Some patients come for the beard only; many treat beard and hairline in one trip. Whether both fit into one session depends on how many grafts your donor area can give. When grafts are limited, scalp hair comes first – we discuss this openly.

All about Beard & hair transplant

Your stay

  1. Arrivals hall at Istanbul Airport
    Day 1

    Arrival

    Airport pick-up and drive to the hotel. In the evening your coordinator calls to go through the next day.

  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.

Questions about this treatment

Does a transplanted beard look natural?

Yes, when angle and direction are right. Beard hair is set very flat and follows the natural growth direction of each zone of the face.

Can I do beard and scalp at the same time?

Often yes, as long as your donor area gives enough grafts for both. We check this from your photos and tell you honestly what should take priority.

When can I shave again?

After about ten days, once the scabs are gone. Wet shaving with a blade only after checking with the doctor.

Does the ÖGK cover a hair transplant?

Usually not, as it counts as a cosmetic procedure. Exceptions are rare and concern hair loss after accidents, for example.
