A striking video recently posted on social media has captured the attention of netizens worldwide, showing dozens of men with fresh hair transplant marks seated on a Ukrainian Airlines flight returning from Turkiye. The footage, shared by a content creator on May 6, reveals rows of male passengers whose scalps display dense transplant scars, a visual now humorously dubbed “Turkish hairlines” in a play on “Turkish Airlines.”
The video highlights a common sight for many returning from hair transplant surgery in Turkiye, the world’s leading destination for the procedure. The content creator described the scene as “the most common landscape in Turkiye,” referencing the country’s prominence in the hair transplant medical tourism market.
Netizens reacted with mixed feelings. Some expressed sympathy, noting that “hair loss is a great stress for men” and commended those undergoing the surgery as “courageous.” Others responded more casually, sharing that such scenes are frequently encountered and encouraging light-heartedness.
According to the Turkiye Health and Tourism Association (THTC), Turkiye accounts for about 60% of the global hair transplant medical tourism industry. With over one million visitors annually seeking hair transplant surgery, the country expects this number to rise to 1.1 million this year, reinforcing its status as a hair transplant hub.
This surge underscores not only the popularity but also the increasing awareness of hair transplant recovery journeys and the transformative before and after results that many patients seek in Turkiye.
