Important Information
Medical disclaimer and the limits of this information
Please read this carefully. It sets out what this website does and does not provide, who is responsible for your clinical care, and why nothing here should ever replace advice from a qualified doctor.
This website is not monitored for urgent medical issues and must never be relied on in an emergency. If you have a medical emergency, or you believe your symptoms are serious, do not wait for a reply from us.
Call your local emergency number or go to your nearest emergency department immediately. If you are recovering after a procedure abroad, also follow the specific emergency instructions given to you by your treating clinic.
A facilitator and patient advocate, not a medical provider
Unal Cakar is an independent, USHAŞ-licensed health-tourism facilitator and patient advocate. He is not a clinic, not a hospital and not a doctor. He does not diagnose, does not treat, does not prescribe and does not perform any procedure, and he does not give medical advice.
His role is to help international patients identify, and coordinate with, independently selected accredited clinics and licensed surgeons in Türkiye. All examinations, clinical decisions and treatment are carried out by those independent providers, who remain solely responsible for the care they deliver.
General information only — not medical advice
Everything published on this website is provided for general information purposes only. It is not medical advice, a diagnosis, a treatment recommendation or a clinical opinion, and it must not be used as a substitute for a consultation with a qualified healthcare professional who knows your medical history.
Procedure descriptions, indicative "from" prices, recovery timelines and similar content are illustrative and general in nature. They cannot take account of your individual health, history or circumstances, and they may not reflect what is appropriate, safe or available in your specific case.
The free graft calculator is an estimate, not a diagnosis
The free hair-transplant graft calculator on this site produces an indicative, non-diagnostic estimate only. It is based on the standard Norwood and Ludwig hair-loss patterns and on the general information you choose to enter — it is not a medical assessment, not a diagnosis and not a treatment plan.
The figures it returns are approximate ranges intended to help you understand orders of magnitude before you speak to anyone. The graft count that is actually appropriate for you, your candidacy for surgery and any expected outcome can only be determined by a qualified surgeon after a proper in-person examination. Any estimate may change once a surgeon has assessed you.
Suitability and clinical decisions belong to the treating surgeon
Whether a given treatment is right for you, which technique is appropriate, and what results are realistic, are clinical decisions. They can only be made by the treating surgeon at a formal consultation, based on your examination, your medical history and any tests they consider necessary.
Any indicative plan, estimate or written quote shared with you beforehand is provisional. It may change — or a procedure may be declined as unsuitable — once a surgeon has assessed you in person.
What this site does not do
- It cannot identify, confirm or rule out any medical condition you may have.
- It cannot tell you that a particular procedure is right, safe or necessary for your individual case.
- It is no substitute for a consultation with a qualified healthcare professional who can examine you and review your history.
- It makes no promise about the outcome of any procedure; individual results vary from person to person.
Individual results vary — no outcome is guaranteed
Medical and surgical outcomes vary from one person to another. Nothing on this site is a promise or guarantee of any particular result, and no specific outcome can be assured.
Where written guarantees, warranties or revision policies are mentioned anywhere on this site, those are commitments made by the treating clinic and apply only on the terms set out in your own written agreement with that clinic. Your individual results depend on many factors, including your health, your anatomy and how closely you follow the aftercare you are given.
Always consult a qualified doctor before deciding
Before making any decision about a procedure or about travelling for treatment, and before you start, stop or change any medication, speak to a qualified healthcare professional who knows your medical history. If you are unsure, seek a second opinion.
Never disregard professional medical advice, and never delay seeking it, because of something you have read on this website.
No doctor-patient relationship is created
Using this website, contacting Unal Cakar, or being introduced to a clinic does not create a doctor-patient relationship between you and Unal Cakar, who is not a doctor and provides no clinical care.
A treating relationship arises only with the independent clinic and surgeon you choose, once they formally accept you as a patient, and is governed by your agreement with that provider. Any question that requires clinical judgement will be referred to the appropriate qualified professional.
Common questions about these limits
Can you tell me if I am a good candidate for surgery?
No. Unal Cakar is a facilitator, not a doctor, and cannot assess your suitability. Only the treating surgeon can decide that, at a formal consultation after examining you and reviewing your medical history.
Is the graft calculator result my actual graft count?
No. It is an indicative, non-diagnostic estimate based on the Norwood and Ludwig patterns and the details you enter. Your real graft count can only be confirmed by a surgeon after an in-person examination.
Do you guarantee the results shown on the site?
No. Individual results vary and no outcome is guaranteed. Any written guarantee or revision policy is a commitment of the treating clinic, on the terms of your own agreement with that clinic.
Who should I contact in an emergency?
Always contact your local emergency services or go to the nearest emergency department. This site is not monitored for urgent issues. If you are recovering abroad, also follow your treating clinic's emergency instructions.
Acceptance of this disclaimer
By using this website, you confirm that you have read, understood and accepted this disclaimer, including its limits on the information provided here.
If anything is unclear, you are welcome to ask before you commit to anything. Asking a question carries no obligation, and any question that calls for clinical judgement will be passed to a qualified professional rather than answered here.
