More men are heading to Turkey to cure their baldness, but is it safe? 

Of course the doctors that charge 20k in the US are not gonna say anything good about the doctors in Turkey that charge 3k...

The real problem is that the price of medical care in the US is a scam.

It’s not risky in turkey, the doctors in the USA just want you to spend 5x more in the states 🙄

My son flew to turkey from Texas . He his transplant for $ 2500 . He was there for 5 days and returned home. Everything went well.

We are pleased to be a part of Bryan's amazing transformation, and we thank ABC News for allowing us to share our joy.

Sounds like a doctor who is scared of losing $$$$$ from his expensive prices, meanwhile turkey clinic is state of the art, clean, modern and this doc in the US is still stuck in the 80s

My dad went out there for 10 days. $125 a day all inclusive hotel, flew Turkish airlines (no complaints), did his procedure for $1800 and they gave him a 6 month kit! All worked out. He’s satisfied with his results and looks 20 years younger. The health insurance and care in the US is a scam. I know family members who went to Turkey and Mexico to do oral care for a dirt price and all worked out. Listen, if you got the money, know a connect, do it. These healthcare folks here in the US who talk bad about the idea is preventing you from making a change because they’re gonna “lose” money on their end and it’s not good for business. During this time where America is bleeding heavily on inflation, you gotta approach different avenues. Let’s have an honest conversation here.

I was quoted 30k in Canada and told I could go on a payment plan. I went to Turkey instead and paid 4k CAD. I’m happy with my result. No I’m not a Turkey bot or trying to advertise the clinic I went to.

This is probably no riskier abroad than it is here in the US. Just cause it’s more expensive here doesn’t mean it’s any safer or “better”

I like how American media try to present these abroad procedures like something shady etc to protect their own market while it's the same just cheaper (same with people going to Mexico to buy Insulin for 1/20th the price).

The doctors that do this in turkey not only have state of the art equipment but also have significantly more experience in hair transplants than American doctors. The only reason American doctors are upset is that they are losing money.

I did it in 2020, only $2000.00. And it’s BLESSING.

He looks nice. $3k in Turkey vs $30k in the US. 😮

I got a hair transplant in turkey last year and it was the best decision of my life. Just like this guy I started receding in my early 20’s. I did my research (RU-vid testomonials, Reddit, instagram and even Facebook groups) and found a great clinic. 3k for 3 days in turkey, 5 start hotel W/ breakfast included. Great state of the art facility, and transportation back & forth everywhere. I also got a tour guide as well that showed me around. My results has me looking at least 15years younger and I am now 40. Here in the states they are doing horrible jobs and are asking for 4x the price. Clinics in turkey are doing so many procedures that they are good at what they do. The techs are even better bc they do all the work and it’s usually 2 techs working on you at a time I know 10’people personally that went and everyone looks great. Don’t be fooled, turkey is where it’s at. Just take your time and find a reputable clinic.

I went to turkey and paid 1,800 USD hotel included and now i have a head full of hair. I don't regret it at all.

I'm a Turkish guy who is living in western country, but i can say with my heart the doctors in Turkey has much more experience than here.

US doctors are too greedy that's why we should go abroad. I did my hair transplant in Iran for $1000. It's done so good you wouldn't even notice.

Good for him, the American docs don’t want you to do it because they won’t be able to finance their summer homes 😂😂

The guys post operation interview says it all… dude looks so relieved and relaxed

I guarantee you that clinics in Turkey are much cleaner than the US and the UK. Not only prices but also doctors are really good at surgery.

My nephew went bald prematurely and was feeling depressed because of that. He got the hair transplant in Istanbul and he looks amazing now.❤❤😊😊

I looked into this last year and after sending pics n vids of my donor area, they told me they couldn't do it, not enough donor area. I appreciated their honesty.

I got alot of collegues from Turkey. Most of them 3rd or even 4th generation. Some of them have done the transplant in Turkey. And the result is AMAZING.

Misleading click bait title. A hair transplant is not a cure for baldness; it is a workaround for baldness.

Worked for me! I went to Istanbul 2.5 years ago and am ecstatic about the results !!

That SMILE clinic has been standing out of the Turkish ones. It's like they're the only one with no complaints.

I'll never forget being in the Istanbul airport and seeing all these dudes with bandages on their heads. I tried asking this guy I was in line with, but there was a language barrier. When I got home, I looked it up and found out what it was.

I know a few guys that went to Turkey for this procedure. They are extremely happy with the results. I must admit that I was impressed.

I know a guy that had his hair done in Kenya and it turned out perfect for him. Countries out there have caught up with technology and are offering greater services at a lower cost.

Yeah, let’s ask a US hair transplant doctor what he thinks about people going to Turkey instead of paying him thousands of dollars more. How biased could he be 😏

I have gone overseas for hospital care for an uncovered pre-existing condition saving 75% including airfare. I have gone overseas for dental work saving 70%. I did it with the help of friends living in one place and recommended by US friend regarding dental work.

I'm from Georgia, next to Turkey, living in the USA, and I can tell you, US will never come nor Georgia or Turkey standards in the medical field. You stay in our hospitals you feel you are in a five start hotel and constant attention where you won't have to be anxious about the medical bill. Living in the USA last 15 years I can tell you, that the only thing I trust is the doctors who do my physicals, if it comes to something like surgery I always fly back to do it, not only because of the money but professionalism and the standards are higher there.

I got my hair transplant in Turkey. I am very happy. I look 10-15 years younger 🎉

I love how happy with the end result. Key note: do what makes you happy here on earth.

as a bald dude I never understand why some man are so insecure about getting bald, I never gave a crap about it and find it so much easier not having hair

As someone living in Turkey, I am really happy that I had the same thing done. Some things don't come back, but there are many things we can bring back.

You know how you hide a bald spot ? Buy a Lamborghini.

My friend had theirs in Turkey from one of the popular clinics and his results are amazing. He was sceptical before going but is so glad he went ahead with it. Once my hair starts to go, I will be going too.

friend went last year to do it, absolutely worth every dollar he said. looking at his hair now its 100% success

He looks great. Glad it worked for him. And he got all of that at a fraction of the cost in the US.

Turkey is a beautiful country. Could make it a trip, enjoy the sights, as well as seeing a doctor.

Screw the American doctor that hyped up the risks. That doctor in turkey is WAY more experienced that than guy. Not to mention has many of the drugs we take everyday are made in foreign countries. We live in a global economy and going to a place that specializes in this treatment is the right choice. I didnt get surgery and went for a hair system and am very happy with the result.

I am from Turkey, I live in Turkey, I have always criticized our government that turned the country into a religious dictatorship, I also acknowledge that we have a lot of problems in a lot of places. Having said all of that, No American doctor should criticize the health care in my country. I know, our health care may also have problems, but it cannot possibly be as nearly bad as what you have in the US. You people have to consider ''Should I risk dying or should I call an ambulance?'', that's something happens only in the US. My advice to people who consider coming here for health related issues, do your due diligence and get as much information about the doctor as you can, then you should be OK, I am pretty sure, 90% of the time a better doctor will be taking care of you here than what you could get in the US, unless you are super rich.

I kid you not, the ad I got for this video was about a Turkish clinic offering baldness treatments 😅

I could give a damn what anyone thinks having a bald head. My confidence is just massively unapologetic. Same for grey hair. I will NEVER cover or replace what i was blessed to lose or gain. #LiveLongEnough

He seems a really good guy. I'm glad he got a great result.

The most powerful country where there citizens can't afford health .dentists. and surgeries..

I had 2 of these done. on in NY and one in Europe. both were great, but europe was way cheaper. zero issues. i'm very happy with my hair today.

Every person who went to Turkie for hair transplant recommends it, plus dental and other medical services, I personally went to mexico last year for dental work and I recommend mexico to everyone I know.

Yes it's safe and I highly recommend to go to Turkey!! I did it back in 2019... 5 years later couldn't be happier with the results. It was about 3x cheaper than doing it here in LA... The clinic I used even covered some of my travel and hotel... Not sure if they do it now though.

$3k vs $30k with the same (if not better) result and I am pretty sure a better service... no brainer.

If I was losing my hair, I would shave my head and save money on haircuts, hair tonics and shampoo!

I did it in Mexico City about 4 years ago... great price, service, and very very happy with the results.

Some warning is valid but I think a lot doctors in the US unnecessarily bash their foreign counterparts’s skill level because they want to keep their clients who would otherwise seek same medical care at the fraction of the cost

don’t listen to the butthurt American doctor who charges crackhead fees and is losing a shitton of customers to Turkish doctors. Turkey has some of the best medical universities and training in the world. Dr. Oz is Turkish! It is also a very safe and touristic country so you will be in good hands if you decide to go through this operation in Turkey. My uncle, boss and several friends have done this operation in Turkey with perfect results.

Went to Istanbul in January 2023 for my hair transplant. Amazing results 13 months later. Cost $3000 all in and I got a vacation out of it. The clinic I went to looked like a typical Canadian hospital. These north American doctors are just pissed they're losing business.

Turkish hairlines? Im out 😂

I had hair transplant surgery and eye laser surgery in The Netherlands. Both clinics are filled with Turkish people. They're just very specialised in these fields.

There are so many insecure men around. Dudes- just go bald, workout, maybe get some tattoos- own it. Bald is best! I actually was once so afraid of going bald and considered the same thing. Than I shaved my head and even razored it, and it’s magnificent! I loved it so much, I’m getting laser hair removal on my head to slow the growth as much as possible and have the cleanest, baldest head. It’s amazing to wake up every morning!

I think it's pretty obvious it's a hair transplant. He's happy and he's convinced himself that hair equals confidence then I guess that's okay. He clearly looks happier. The headline makes it sound like he's got some disease that needs to be cured when it's a natural occurrence. It's not like he's dying.

Lets look at dental tourism for example, and just realize that an average Bulgarian, Hungarian, Mexican, Russian, or Colombian (who makes $700-1000 a month) has WAY better teeth than an average American. It's not rocket science or something outside of reach. US is just so insular, so it's hard to realize there is a world beyond. Sure, many things US does way better, but not medical care (in 99% of routine issues). I had my teeth (a crown) messed up by a respectable dentist in Chicago, whom I paid $8000 out of pocket, ended up loosing a tooth and needing an implant, which I got in Mexico City at a state of the art dental office with a US educated dentist, Swiss materials and German equipment for under $2000. Same, I imagine for hair transplants. Let your politicians continue calling you a commie bastard for wanting affordable healthcare for yourself and your kids, as these politicians pocket legalized bribes from the insurance industry.

Im happy for this dude, that hes now happy with his looks and didnt get robbed out of 10s of thousands from a US doctor lol.

Brian hasn't addressed his veneers

is usa safe with the mass schootings ?

I think he got FUT (not FUE). FUT is generally much cheaper in the US as well. While they did show his very impressive results in the front, I am curios to see the scarring in the back? FUT May mean you can’t have very short hair in the back that may reveal the grafting harvesting area and the scar. I’ve seen some very bad and ugly scars from FUT (just people on the street or at the gym). I personally would opt to more advanced FUE harvesting method, preferably with the robot Artas. For more natural look and less scarring (even though scarring can be there as well.. )

I've been shaving my head since i was 18, but only in my late 30s did i notice i no longer had much to shave up top.

I'm sorry but I will travel oversea any day for a fraction of the price because the US is OVERPRICE!!

I’m beginning to bald and I’m only twenty-two, feel so fortunate these types of operations are out there

My friend went to Turkey for a hair transplant, and came back with a fantastic head of hair. He said the process is sort of painful,. but the end result is amazing. My friend was in his early 40s ,....& now he looks so much younger with his hair transplant. He said it was so much cheaper in Turkey than in the USA. He himself, was in the medical profession, he has a medical degree earned in the USA. He left the USA nearly bald, he would shave his head, because his hair looked patchy, and like peach fuzz. Now his hair is full and thick. I was impressed. I'm already 70,....and I have lost my hair in front and on the top, but I have thick side hair, and around the back,...I even have a long thick ponytail. I wear a hat all the time. Having hair loss, means you develop a "chrome dome",.....the bald part, the bare skin is shiny,...and I do not like the look of it. But at age 70,....well maybe it is not worth it. I am retired, and not working. No one I know cares,...not my wife or friends. I hate being so vain. But with having hair, you do look younger.

Go Brian, what a wonderful transformation

Happy for you Brian, you look great. I am not shy to say had mine done for 12 hours and happy for the result. When I started loosing my hair I felt depress and unhappy till I had it done, my body, my money my choice, I don't really care what others say and by visiting Istanbul I was able to know how good people and hospitable they are.

Brian was a great participant in this story. Happy it worked well for you.

I’ve followed this guy on his RU-vid channel I was totally rooting for him. This must have been filmed several years ago before the transplant

can they take butt hair and transplant it as well , then i might consider , because my butt hair tickles me all night long and i cant sleep

Happy for Bryan especially for me having a hair problem just happy to see someone get what they wanted!

Turkey is AMAZING for medical & cosmetic surgery!

That looks super painful. If it works I want some and this patient looks great with his new hair.

So glad people have more affordable options.

Had it in 2016.. very good results at a very reasonable price! This particular sector in Turkey had a lot of experience with so so many patients from all around the world.. Men fly to istanbul just to do this..

I lived in Turkey for 5 years , it is one of the best countries in terms of medical esthetics , Hair , teeth , and nose fixing …. Millions go there yearly , and it’s super cheap . What makes a doctor better is practice , well turkish doctors planted hair way more than US ones , so don’t hesitate and go . The US doctors want you to pay 30k instead of 3k ( all included )

My old boss had it done and after 10 years he lost most of it and he had a very strange area at the back of his scalp where the hairs were removed. Worst part is that you can still 100% see the plugs and it makes you look vain and insecure that you can't cope, accept and love your true self. He was the nicest guy too. This video should show the back of the head and instead comes off like a commercial.

Had a transplant in turkey at the same clinic in the video in september 2022 and have amazing results. No complaints, amazing results

It looks great! Don’t you need to keep doing the treatment though? I’ve seen people that have got I done but it starts to thinning again after a while.

I admittedly don't know too much about this - but if the existing natural hair "died" and fell out in that area - why doesn't the transplanted hair also fall out ? Or does it eventually and this is a temporary "fix" ?

Many Somali men went and most of them got curing hair and they look amazing.

In an age of Instagram, Tik Tok, dating apps, you can't blame someone for caring how they present themselves. It's confidence but also how people treat you as well. In this case he did not pull off the baldy well, he has a egg shaped head. I think he made an excellent choice.

An American dentist told me I had to remove my tooth due to chronic infection. A Mexican dentist told me to try mouth wash twice a day. It's been 3 years already and I still have my tooth and no infection.

I think that damn near every man can pull off a bald head. There's nothing special about Michael Jordan's or Samuel Jackson's bald head. It is just a matter of doing it and letting the world get used to seeing it. The critical part is for the man to get over any insecurities he may have about it. If enough men start rocking bald heads, people will get over it and even embrace it.

You look great! So happy it worked out so well for you ❤

As a Turkish person i'm shocked with the amount of people bragging our healthcare system is... Shocking? I barely get appointments. People say they get appointments for at least a year in the news. I heard 10 years for God's sake. So it's weird how Westerners get good healthcare but we, our citizens, suffer a lot more. At least they are happy and health through. That's quality.

Its always our doctors saying "NO DONT GO ITS DANGEROUS"...."JUST PAY OUR OUTRAGEOUS PRICES!"

As a skinhead, I can't imagine why anybody would want to have hair.

Any type of alopecia is tough. Scarring alopecia like Lichen Planopilaris is a nightmare.

I had hair transplant 1 month ago here in the us but by turkish doctors. Price like $1,200 more than flying abroad but half the price than many other American clinics i went to

Got mine done less than 2 years ago. Best decision I made so far and save some money for 2 holidays abroad.

That degree behind the U.S. surgeon is what you're paying for when you pay for surgery in the U.S. A medical degree in America is a license to charge whatever you can get away with.

As a woman I can personally say if a bald man looks fit and has a nice muscular build, he's definitely more attractive than a guy with a full head of hair and an unfit body.

Name of clinic?

I can not blame these men who breakdown and cry because their hair is thinning away. It’s horrible! But what is also horrible is the extraordinary amount of money hair transplant doctors charge in the United States compared to Turkey, India, Pakistán, Buenos Aires, Mexico, and Iran. Those countries charge a fraction and the results are usually stellar! But be patient in following their post-surgical treatments and time for it to grow for the optimum results. Turkey’s clinics are quite exemplary, top notch, and worth the plane ride ticket besides those clinics treating you like a king with accommodations and thorough treatment. I recommend getting a hair transplant because your confidence and looks only rise from there!!

Great Story!!!! God Bless Brian and the doctor
