What 4,000 grafts costs in Turkey.
This is where the flat package stops being flat. 4,000 crosses the band most clinics quote against, and it is also where the donor area becomes the limit rather than the budget.
Above the band, so the price moves.

Prices are indicative; only a clinic's written quote applies to you. Turkish figures are conservative midpoints of the ranges clinics publish on their own sites, not surveyed medians, and they carry no sample size. Non-USD figures are converted at indicative rates and rounded. Sources and method: research and price sources.
Read the table as the floor rather than the answer. It is anchored on a 2,500 graft session, and 4,000 sits above the band that figure covers at most clinics. We do not publish a 4,000 graft figure because we have no set of published clinic prices at that count to stand behind, and a modelled number dressed up as a measured one is the thing this site exists to avoid. Ask for the count and the price together, in writing.
Front, mid scalp and a start on the crown.
4,000 grafts treats an advanced pattern: Norwood 4 to 5, where the hairline and mid scalp have merged into one thin area and the crown has opened. It is the first count at which a surgeon can reasonably address the whole top of the head in a single plan.
Two practical consequences. The day is long, nine hours or more, and some clinics split it across two consecutive mornings to keep graft survival up; ask which, because it changes your hotel booking. And the extraction is a serious draw on the donor area, which is why the honest constraint at this count is anatomical.
A surgeon should measure your donor density and tell you what it can supply before quoting 4,000. A clinic that quotes the count from a phone photograph, without that measurement, is quoting a price rather than a plan.
Common questions.
Is 4,000 grafts done in one day?
Some clinics do, some split it across two consecutive days. Both are normal. What matters is that the plan is agreed before you fly, not decided on the morning.
Does 4,000 grafts cost more than 3,000?
Usually yes. 4,000 sits above the standard package band at most Turkish clinics, so it is the point where the headline figure moves rather than holds.
Can my donor area supply 4,000 grafts?
That is a physical question about your own scalp, not a pricing one. A surgeon should measure donor density before quoting the count, and some cannot supply it.
