Arenamed 5700 Grafts: One-Week Patient Result
Patient case archive: This page records a patient-reported 5,700-graft hair transplant at Arenamed in Istanbul, with photographs shared at about one week after surgery. For city-level context, see our Istanbul hair transplant guide.
Archive Information and Verification
This is an archived patient-reported record, not a clinical study or a measure of the clinic’s average outcomes. This editorial update does not independently verify the original source, photographs, exact graft count or current clinic workflow.
The operation date and the latest photograph date should be read from the recorded case details below. Where a date or follow-up is not recorded, do not infer it from the article’s publication date or an image filename. Early healing photos do not establish final growth.

Case summary
For current pricing factors and questions to include in an itemised quote, see the 2026 Turkey hair transplant cost guide. Historical graft counts and case details are not current clinic prices.
- Clinic: Arenamed, Istanbul
- Grafts: 5,700
- Follow-up point: about 1 week post-op
At approximately one week, photographs can document graft placement, crusting and early healing, but they cannot establish final growth or a survival percentage. The reported 5,700-graft count comes from this patient’s archive and is not a target for other patients. The original photo sequence is preserved below.

How to interpret this patient case
This page is an archived patient case rather than a controlled clinical study. Graft count, technique, timing, pricing and patient impressions should be read as historical case details only where they were recorded in the original account. Hair-transplant outcomes vary with donor density, hair calibre, recipient-area size, surgical planning, healing and the progression of future hair loss.
The Arenamed gallery is labelled at roughly one week after a reported 5,700-graft procedure. Images at that point document early placement and healing, not mature growth or final density. Use only later dated photos, if present, to assess how the appearance changed over time.
Useful points to compare
- Starting hair-loss pattern and donor density
- Reported graft count and recipient-area coverage
- Donor extraction pattern and visible thinning
- Hairline design, direction and density distribution
- Time elapsed between surgery and each photograph
One-week update
The patient reported undergoing a 5,700-graft procedure at Arenamed and shared this photo set at approximately the one-week mark. At this stage, the main value of the images is documenting early healing and the distribution of the transplanted and donor areas.
What can be assessed at one week?
At this stage, the photographs mainly document placement, donor extraction pattern, crusting and early healing. They cannot be used to judge final density or hair growth. Meaningful cosmetic growth needs to be assessed over the following months.
Because 5,700 grafts is a high reported graft count, donor management is one of the most important parts of evaluating this case. Early photographs can show how extraction was distributed and how much recipient-area coverage was attempted, but they cannot establish the long-term donor appearance or final cosmetic density.
What to look for in a 5,700-graft case
- Donor preservation: whether extraction appears evenly distributed rather than concentrated in one zone.
- Coverage strategy: how the grafts appear to be allocated across the frontal area, mid-scalp and crown.
- Hairline planning: whether the design looks appropriate for the patient’s starting pattern.
- Healing stage: crusting and redness at one week are part of the early postoperative picture, not a final result.
- Long-term reserve: a large first session makes remaining donor capacity especially relevant if future hair loss continues.
