These are hair transplant before and after photographs of individual patients at Hair of Istanbul. Each set follows one person’s own process — the number of frames, the stages recorded and the length of the follow-up differ from case to case, because every treatment plan is different.
Nothing here is retouched or borrowed. Every set carries the graft count, the technique and the date of the procedure, and every photograph is published with the patient’s written consent.
4,500 grafts, FUE, Norwood 5 — before and 18 months after a single session.
3,400 grafts · FUE · Slit · Norwood 2 · single session · United States
Procedure: September 2024
Afro-textured hair transplantation requires advanced experience and precise planning due to the curved structure and unique angles of the follicles beneath the skin. The procedure aims for natural curl direction, balanced density, and donor-area preservation. Every treatment is individually planned.

How to read a hair transplant before and after timeline
Transplanted hair sheds between the second and sixth week; that is expected, not a failure. Regrowth becomes visible from around the third month, most of the density arrives between months six and twelve, and the final texture settles between months twelve and eighteen. A photograph taken at month three and a photograph taken at month twelve are not comparable — which is why every frame here is dated. The same sequence of shedding and regrowth is described in the StatPearls review of hair transplantation (NCBI Bookshelf).
Frequently asked questions
Why do hair transplant before and after results differ so much?
Donor capacity, hair calibre, the stage of loss at the time of surgery, the number of grafts and age all change what is achievable. Two patients with the same graft count can end with visibly different density.
When do the transplanted hairs start to grow?
They shed between the second and sixth week, regrowth becomes visible from around month three, and the result continues to thicken until months twelve to eighteen.
Are these photographs retouched?
No. They are taken at the clinic, published with the patient’s written consent, and each frame carries the number of days since the procedure.
How many grafts were used in the published cases?
The three published sets are 4,500 grafts (FUE, Norwood 5, single session), 4,300 grafts and 2,000 grafts (women’s hair transplant, single session).
Can I follow one patient day by day?
Yes. One case is documented with 279 dated photographs from the day before surgery onward — see the day-by-day archive.
