Hair Transplant Turkey vs. Canada: Why Istanbul Leads the World in Hair Transplantation
Dr. Gökay Bilgin & Dr. Mehmet Erdogan
Turkey Offers Global Patients a Clear Cost and Access Advantage
Hair transplant Turkey costs typically range from $2,000–$5,000, often as part of all-inclusive hair transplant packages. By contrast, hair transplants in Canada can cost £9,000–£19,000+ depending on the case. Istanbul offers patients not only affordable treatment but also one of the highest concentrations of expert surgeons worldwide. Combined with a mature medical-tourism ecosystem covering accommodation, transfers, and interpretation, patients benefit from shorter wait times and seamless coordination.
Patient Testimonials from Canada
Paul B.
"The fact of having been well advised before my stay; the taking care of the trip from the airport to the hotel; the surgical team as well as the advice of the doctor on site gave me confidence; the help of an interpreter to accompany me in my language during the day of surgery; the management of the stay at the hotel. In short, everything was done to make the experience pleasant."

R.B
"Unbelievable experience! I had an incredible experience at Smile Hair Clinic. I was very nervous for my procedure, but they made me comfortable the entire time. I flew in from Vancouver, Canada based on extensive research on the clinic. Not only did the actual operation day go well, but the communication before and after the procedure has been incredible. They do a great job of preparing you for what is to come with their in-depth guide and kits that include shampoos, lotions, etc. I’m 12 days post-op and I can see a hairline I haven’t had in probably 7 years. I’m beyond excited, and as of right now - I’d recommend this clinic to everyone!"
