Below you will find which areas a partial transplant covers, how the price is set, who it makes sense for and what may happen later in the areas that are not transplanted. Your doctor will always give you the most accurate information for your own case.
What is a partial hair transplant?
Hair loss does not always affect the whole head. In some people only the hairline recedes, in others the temples open up, and in others the crown thins. In a partial hair transplant only that area is planned; the grafts taken from the donor area are placed in the thinning or bald area.
The areas most often planned are:
- Hairline: The area that frames the face and is noticed most. Details are in our article on hairline transplant cost and graft numbers.
- Temples: Receding temple points change your facial expression. We cover this detail in temple point restoration.
- Crown (vertex): Because this is where the hair swirls, it is planned differently. You can find how many grafts may be needed in how many grafts you need for a crown hair transplant.
- Mid-scalp: The thinning area between the front and the crown; it is often planned together with the front.
How is the cost of a partial hair transplant set?
Many clinics quote prices by the number of grafts. So people researching a partial transplant often think “small area, fewer grafts, lower price”. At Hairpol the calculation does not work that way: you are not charged per graft, and the price is set by the technique and the type of package.
The number of grafts, on the other hand, is a medical decision independent of the price. Taking into account the needs of the area to be transplanted, the capacity of the donor area and the characteristics of the hair follicles, we plan for each person the medically appropriate maximum number of grafts that can be safely taken without harming the donor area. So even for a small area there is no pressure to keep the graft count low and weaken the result.
With cash payment, the all-inclusive package for patients travelling from abroad costs $2,500£1,900€2,250CA$3,500. There is no graft limit in the package; it includes the guarantee certificate, 2-3 nights in a 4-5 star hotel in the city centre, VIP transfers, an aftercare kit with medication, a 24/7 VIP patient manager and 12 months of monthly follow-up through our mobile app. Full details are on our hair transplant cost and hair transplant package pages; we compare market prices and hidden fees in hair transplant cost in Turkey 2026.
Who does a partial transplant make sense for?
A partial transplant can be a good option for people whose hair loss is confined to one area and whose donor area is sufficient. The main points the doctor looks at when deciding are:
- How your hair loss is progressing: If hair loss is still progressing, areas that look healthy today may thin later. The plan is based not on how things look today, but on how they are likely to look in the future.
- Donor area: Because another area may need a transplant later, protecting the donor area comes first.
- Age: The minimum age for a hair transplant is 22, and 25 or older is preferred. At a young age it is harder to predict where hair loss is heading; we cover this in hair transplant in your 20s.
- Front and crown together? If both areas are thinning, the order of priority and the distribution of grafts are planned together. Details are in front and crown hair transplant together.
If the area is small, an unshaven transplant may also be an option. The doctor decides at the examination whether it suits you; details are on our unshaven hair transplant page.

What happens to the areas that are not transplanted?
In a partial transplant, grafts are placed only in the planned area. Hair loss may continue in your natural hair in the untreated areas, so over time some patients need a second session for the same or a different area. We explain when small corrections help in hair transplant touch-up.
Your doctor assesses whether you need medication to slow hair loss in the untreated areas; finasteride 1 mg can be started 2 months before the procedure or 10 days after it.
At Hairpol, the guarantee certificate guarantees that the transplanted hair grows in the transplant area and is valid for 18 months from the procedure. The certificate does not cover areas that were not transplanted; for it to apply, you need to share your photos and follow the aftercare instructions. See all the conditions here.
Choosing a technique for a partial transplant
Hairpol performs Sapphire FUE, DHI and Manual Punch Long Hair FUE. The transplant may be carried out by the doctor or by the team under the doctor’s supervision. Which technique suits you is decided at the examination, based on the size of the area, your hair density and your donor area. Because the price is also set by the technique, always ask which technique is recommended in your quote. To get to know our clinic’s physician, visit the Dr. Barış Duman page.
