A radio star has exposed the harsh truth behind Turkish hair transplants.
Many Australian men will travel to Turkey to get the procedure done, because the cost of a hair transplant there is typically lower there than in other countries.
However The Kyle and Jackie O Show director Bruno Bouchet revealed on-air on Friday that the results are far from immediate.
In fact, it typically takes 'four months' for the transplanted hair follicles to begin to grow.
'I thought I'd be coming back looking like Keith Urban,' admitted the radio star, 38.

'They're not getting hair extensions transplanted!' quipped co-star Kyle Sandilands.
Bouchet -who is understood to have not yet gone through with the procedure- is far from the first star to admit to seeking help with thickening their mane.
Last year, Eden Dally showed off his new do after undergoing a hair transplant procedure.
The Love Island Australia star, 30, took to Instagram to flaunt his new hairline one year after surgery at Hair Doctors in Bondi, sharing before and after images of his hair.

'WOW!!! What a difference over a year now since I had this painless procedure done,' he captioned the post.
'I usually don't let things get to me and I usually have very thick skin but once I came off Love Island I got hammered for my receded hairline and after a while I started to notice it and for the first time it got to me.
'The photo on the left I was in a bad head space lost my confidence a bit didn't care about anything and it shows! Twelve months on I'm feeling great.'
Love Island Australia star Eden Dally has showed off the results of his hair transplant after three years of feeling 'insecure' about his receding hairline
In the first image, he showed fans his slightly sparse hairline, and a second image revealed his impressive results a year later.
Hair transplant procedures normally involve transplanting the patient's hair from thicker parts of their hairline to thinner areas.
It can cost between $4,000 to $15,000 depending on how much hair is transplanted during the procedure.

Eden told Daily Mail Australia he underwent a hair transplant after three years of feeling 'insecure' about his receding hairline.
'I had it done because I was getting a lot of comments on Instagram about how my hair was receding, and that I've got a big forehead,' he said.
'At first it didn't bother me, but now three years down the track I was getting the same comments,' he added.

MasterChef star Khanh Ong has also admitted to having sought treatment for his receding hairline.
During a candid Q&A session with his followers on social media last year, the I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! star explained his decision-making process in choosing a clinic and the type of procedure he wanted.
He said, 'I went to a couple of places and they were very like, this is what needs to be done in this amount of time. You have to shave your head for us to do it in the like appropriate amount of time. So I was like, no, well, like this is not like a motorbike service.'
The popular chef eventually chose Brisbane-based Gro Clinics, an Australian clinic recommended by a friend, because they listened to his concerns and worked with him to create a plan tailored to his specific needs.
