Frequently asked questions
Is hair transplant surgery available on the NHS in Canterbury?
No, the NHS does not fund hair transplant procedures for cosmetic hair loss in Canterbury or elsewhere in the UK. Private treatment is the only NHS-funded option available when hair loss results from medical conditions. Cosmetic procedures must be paid for privately.
How long does recovery take after hair transplant surgery?
Initial recovery typically takes 1 to 2 weeks, during which mild redness and swelling may occur. Most patients return to work within 7 to 10 days. Full results develop over 6 to 12 months as transplanted hair grows and thickens.
Are hair transplants performed abroad as safe as UK procedures?
Reputable clinics in Istanbul, Budapest and Tbilisi employ board-certified surgeons with extensive experience and international accreditation. Patient outcomes are comparable to UK private clinics. Selecting an established clinic with verifiable credentials and patient reviews ensures safety standards equivalent to UK treatment.
What happens if I need follow-up care after returning to Canterbury?
Most clinics provide remote follow-up support via video consultation for the first year post-surgery. Your GP in Canterbury can address any medical concerns. Some patients attend one follow-up appointment abroad around 12 months to assess final results.
How much can I save by having my hair transplant abroad?
Canterbury patients typically save between 60 and 80 percent by choosing Istanbul, Budapest or Tbilisi. A procedure costing 8,000 pounds in Canterbury may cost 1,500 to 2,500 pounds abroad, including all associated expenses like flights and accommodation.
