What happened. Hakan Çalhanoğlu confirmed he underwent a hair transplant at Cosmedica Clinic, where Dr Acar treated him. The Inter midfielder said he takes the jokes from teammates and opponents in good humour, including a recent jibe from Luka Modrić in the derby.
- Cosmedica said the work focused on the hairline, plus a small section of the crown.
- The clinic used the DHI Micro Sapphire technique, with around 4,500 available grafts.
- New growth is generally expected between the fourth and sixth months, with full results up to a year.
“Yes, I got a hair transplant.”
— Hakan Çalhanoğlu
Çalhanoğlu's focus stays on Inter and Turkey, while the procedure's final result will only emerge over the coming months.
