Why revision is harder
Scar tissue, altered anatomy and limited remaining tissue make revision prp therapy a specialist job. Choose a surgeon who does revision work specifically and ask to see their revision cases.
When to wait
Tissues usually need to settle fully before revision — often many months after the first operation. Operating too early can compromise the result. A good surgeon will tell you to wait if you should.
Bring your records
Gather your original operative notes, what was used (implants, grafts, technique), and a clear account of what you want changed. The more your revision surgeon knows, the better they can plan.
Choosing a revision surgeon
Volume and honesty matter even more here. Verify the facility and surgeon, ask specifically about revision experience for prp therapy, and get the plan in writing.
About PRP Therapy in Turkey
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy uses concentrated growth factors from your own blood to stimulate cell regeneration. A small blood sample is drawn, centrifuged to concentrate platelets, and then injected into target areas to promote healing, collagen production, and tissue renewal.
Turkey's clinics offer PRP as both a standalone treatment and as a complement to hair transplants, facelifts, and skin treatments. The natural approach appeals to patients seeking regenerative medicine without synthetic fillers or chemicals.
The treatment takes 30-45 minutes with minimal discomfort. PRP is commonly used for facial rejuvenation (the "vampire facial"), hair loss treatment, and post-surgical healing. A series of 3-4 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart is typically recommended for optimal results.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is PRP safe since it uses my own blood?
PRP is one of the safest cosmetic treatments available because it uses your own blood components, eliminating the risk of allergic reactions or rejection. Minor side effects include temporary redness, swelling, and bruising at injection sites.
When will I see PRP results?
Initial improvements in skin texture appear within 2-3 weeks. Full results develop over 2-3 months as collagen rebuilds. For hair loss, visible improvement in hair thickness typically appears after 2-3 sessions (8-12 weeks).
Does PRP work for hair loss?
Yes, PRP has shown significant effectiveness for androgenic alopecia (pattern hair loss). Studies show increased hair density and thickness after 3-4 sessions. PRP is particularly effective when combined with hair transplant surgery to boost graft survival rates.
How many PRP sessions do I need?
For facial rejuvenation: 3-4 sessions, 4-6 weeks apart, with annual maintenance. For hair loss: 3-4 initial sessions, then every 6-12 months. Results build with each session as collagen and tissue regeneration accumulate.
How much does PRP therapy cost in Turkey?
PRP therapy in Turkey costs €200-€600 per session. A recommended course of 3-4 sessions costs €600-€1,800 total. This is 50-70% less than UK prices (€400-€1,000 per session).
How long should I wait before prp therapy revision?
Usually until the tissues have fully settled — often many months after the first procedure. Your surgeon will advise based on your healing.
Is revision prp therapy more expensive?
It can be, because it's more complex and time-consuming. Get a written quote after an assessment rather than relying on a headline price.
What should I bring to a revision consultation?
Your original operative notes, details of what was used, photos, and a clear description of what you want changed.
Can any prp therapy surgeon do revision work?
No — choose one who does revision specifically and can show revision cases. It's a different skill set from a primary procedure.
