CALL US INSTEADHair Transplant Doctor • Gro Clinics Australia
I completed 8 years of surgical training around Australia before joining Gro in 2024. I continue my work assisting in private surgical practice, alongside my role in hair restoration.
Before you book a consultation, get the facts. Dr Gamze Aksakal, hair transplant doctor at Gro Clinics Brisbane, walks through what is involved with a hair transplant, how a natural hairline is designed, and what recovery really looks like, so you can make an informed decision.
Inside the Procedure
Dr Gamze Aksakal, hair transplant doctor at Gro Clinics Brisbane, walks you through a procedure from planning to aftercare.
Suitability & Timing
Dr Gamze Aksakal, hair transplant doctor at Gro Clinics Brisbane, explains how suitability and timing are assessed for each person.
What to Know First
Dr Gamze Aksakal, hair transplant doctor at Gro Clinics Brisbane, on setting realistic expectations and why long-term planning matters.
"The first hour of procedure day is spent discussing goals and recovery. My focus is to prioritise a natural, age appropriate hairline with high density graft placement. You’ll be supported by me at each step of the journey." - Dr Gamze Aksakal
Precise Follicle Placement
Every graft is placed individually using single implanters, allowing Dr Gamze to control the exact angle, depth, and direction of each follicle.
Donor Area Preservation
Dr Gamze uses a refined extraction punch, grafts are removed with minimal impact to the surrounding tissue. This protects your donor area for potential future procedures.
Careful Planning
Dr Gamze plans each procedure around your facial proportions and long-term hair loss, so the result still looks natural as you age.

Recovery is usually quicker and more comfortable than most people expect. You can go home the same day, and any mild tenderness or swelling typically settles within a few days. Tiny scabs form around the transplanted grafts and naturally flake away over 7–10 days. Most people are back to their normal routine within a day or two, with only a few simple aftercare steps — gentle washing, avoiding strenuous exercise, and keeping the area out of direct sun for the first couple of weeks. Your team will give you a clear, step-by-step aftercare plan and stay in touch throughout your healing.
Look for a doctor who performs hair restoration regularly, can show you real before-and-after results from their own patients, and takes the time to assess your hair properly rather than rushing to a quote. A good practitioner will be honest about what's realistically achievable, explain the technique they recommend and why, and answer your questions without pressure. Credentials and experience matter — but so does feeling genuinely listened to. A thorough, unhurried consultation is one of the best signs you're in the right hands.
Most people take around 3 to 5 days off, though it depends on your job and how visible the treated area is. If your work isn't physically demanding, you could return within a couple of days. The main considerations are the small scabs that are visible for the first week or so and avoiding heavy lifting or strenuous activity early on. If you'd prefer more privacy during the initial healing, booking your procedure before a weekend or a short break gives you extra recovery time.
