Understanding the Difference

Hairline advancement and hair transplantation are two distinct surgical procedures aimed at addressing a receding hairline.

  • Hairline Advancement: Involves lowering the existing hairline by removing a strip of scalp skin from the forehead and suturing the remaining scalp to the forehead. This technique provides immediate results in terms of lowering the hairline.
  • Hair Transplantation: Involves transplanting individual hair follicles from the donor area (usually the back of the scalp) to the balding area. This procedure requires time for the transplanted hair to grow and establish itself, typically taking 12-18 months for the final results to be visible. Achieving the desired fullness may require more than one procedure. This can be frustrating for patients, as waiting for final results can take up to 18 months after the initial transplant and another 12-18 months for any subsequent procedures.
  • Immediate Effect: The primary advantage of hairline advancement is its immediate effect. The lowered hairline is visible right after the surgery, providing a noticeable and rapid change in appearance. Time Comparison - In contrast, hair transplantation requires a significant waiting period for the transplanted hair to grow and achieve the desired coverage. This process can be frustrating for individuals seeking a quick solution to a receding hairline.

Hi There- After carefully reviewing plastic surgeons in Türkiye,I choose Dr. Varsak for his specialty in facial rejuvenation.I am older, I travel from the U.S. and had the facial/neck lift/upper and lower eye done. I must say that I was 110% satisfied, not only with the way I was treated by Dr. Varsak and his staff, but at the beautiful hospital and the great team that took care of me for the two days there and at the beautiful hotel on the same property.

My experience with Dr Varsak and his staff has exceeded my expectations. While the price seemed appealing, I was hesitant about traveling to have facial surgery, specifically, a deep plane facelift.

I recently had a full face lift with Dr. Varsak and his team, and I must say, it was an exceptional experience from start to finish! Dr. Varsak's expertise, kindness, and caring demeanor made me feel at ease throughout the entire process.

I'm 18 days post-op, and in the past two days, I've really started to see the results of my deep plane face and neck lift, and I couldn't be happier! I also had upper eyelid surgery and a slight brow lift for better balance. I reached out to Dr. Varsak's team back in February while researching surgeons and wasn't even sure who to choose at that point. From the beginning, the contact and constant communication with his assistant, Merhi, were amazing. She was incredibly helpful throughout the entire process, putting me at ease even on the day of surgery when I had a few concerns.
