Our take

Editorial summary

Hair of Istanbul publishes a multidisciplinary, multi-team model. Its current material assigns suitability, donor strategy and hairline design to plastic surgeon Dr. Ahmet Dilber; anesthetic care to Dr. Barış Adaklı; and recipient-site planning, channel creation, intraoperative medical supervision and postoperative follow-up to Dr. Mahmut Satekin. Implantation is described as a surgical-team stage. The reviewed public material does not clearly identify who routinely performs FUE extraction, and it does not publish an exact current daily patient range or concurrency count. A clinic-produced 2025 report provides useful case-volume and complication figures, but it is not peer-reviewed or independently audited. The THI score remains withheld pending calibration of the planned 25-clinic cohort.

Patient volume
Not confirmedNot independently confirmed

An exact current daily patient range, maximum and simultaneous-team count were not found. The clinic's report states 1,250 procedures from January 1 to December 6, 2025; dividing that figure by calendar days produces about 3.7, but that arithmetic is not a published working-day average, daily cap or concurrency measure.

Procedure roles

Who Actually Performs the Procedure?

Consultation
Current clinic material assigns medical suitability, donor assessment and long-term surgical planning to Dr. Ahmet Dilber, within a wider multidisciplinary assessment pathway. (Dr. Ahmet Dilber)Publicly documented

This is clinic-published role information, not independent observation of every consultation.

Sources:[2][9]
Hairline design
The medical-team page assigns hairline design and complex or revision planning to Dr. Ahmet Dilber. (Dr. Ahmet Dilber)Publicly documented

The role is attributable to the clinic and should be reconfirmed for the individual booking.

Sources:[2][3]
Planning
Dr. Ahmet Dilber is assigned suitability, donor and long-term planning; Dr. Mahmut Satekin is assigned recipient planning. (Dr. Ahmet Dilber, Dr. Mahmut Satekin)Publicly documented

The clinic publishes complementary planning roles rather than one doctor owning every stage.

Sources:[2][9]
Incisions / channels
Current official role descriptions assign recipient-site or channel creation to Dr. Mahmut Satekin. (Dr. Mahmut Satekin)Publicly documented

This is current clinic-controlled role disclosure and is not a guarantee for every booked case.

Sources:[2][9]
Extraction
Not confirmedNot independently confirmed

The clinic publishes FUE harvesting technique and punch-size information but does not clearly name the person or professional role that routinely performs physical graft extraction. THI does not infer that a named doctor or technician performs it.

Sources:[6][9]
Implantation
The clinic's current workflow describes implantation as a surgical-team stage under medical supervision. (Surgical implantation team)Publicly documented

The public material does not provide a complete current roster or person-level qualifications for the implantation team.

Sources:[2][9][7]
Supervision
Dr. Mahmut Satekin is assigned intraoperative medical supervision, while anesthesiologist Dr. Barış Adaklı is assigned anesthetic risk, sedation where indicated and monitoring. (Dr. Mahmut Satekin, Dr. Barış Adaklı)Publicly documented

The roles are clinic-published; continuous presence at every moment is not inferred.

Assessment

Donor Management

Published information

Current clinic material treats donor hair as a finite resource and describes density, reserve, caliber, future loss and previous extraction footprint as planning inputs. The published planning framework is substantive, but the physical extraction operator and independent donor-outcome denominator remain unconfirmed.

Publicly documented

This supports an attributable planning framework, not a clinic-wide safety or outcome rate.

Sources:[2][9][6][8]

  • Donor planning inputs: The official workflow describes donor density, reserve, hair caliber, future loss and recipient priorities as planning inputs.

    Sources:[2][9]

  • Punch-size disclosure: The 2025 report states 0.80–0.85 mm punches in its cohort, while the current FUE guide describes an approximate 0.7–1.0 mm range. These are clinic-published ranges, not a universal patient-specific specification.

    Sources:[9][6]

  • Revision planning: The revision page emphasizes residual donor density, prior extraction footprint and staged correction where appropriate.

Remote follow-up
The clinic publishes structured remote follow-up, and a selected September 2026 patient report describes WhatsApp progress checks after returning home.Third-party source

Medications

PRP availability
YesPublicly documented

One PRP session is listed as a package inclusion; THI makes no effectiveness conclusion from availability.

Editorial assessment

What Stands Out

  • The clinic publishes named physician responsibilities across suitability, donor planning, hairline design, cardiovascular assessment, anesthesia, channel creation and postoperative medical follow-up.
  • A current official price schedule provides graft bands and package inclusions rather than requiring reliance on third-party price listings.
  • The clinic's 2025 report publishes case counts and adverse-event figures while explicitly limiting its selected-subset graft-retention estimate.

Editorial assessment

Things to Consider

  • The person or professional role that routinely performs physical FUE extraction is not publicly confirmed.
  • Implantation is team-performed, but the complete named technical roster, individual qualifications and patient-specific continuity are not published.
  • The 1,250 procedures reported for January 1–December 6, 2025 describe a multi-case institutional model; exact current daily volume and concurrency remain unknown.
  • The annual report is clinic-produced and not independently audited. Its selected-subset 98.2% retention estimate is not a clinic-wide success rate.
  • Independent patient evidence includes positive long-term and negative follow-up accounts, but no reliable denominator establishes frequency or causation.

Editorial assessment

May Suit

  • People seeking a multidisciplinary model with clearly published doctor roles for planning, anesthesia and recipient-site creation.
  • People comfortable with team implantation and willing to confirm the extraction operator and booked team in writing.
  • People who value current public package pricing and a formal follow-up schedule.

Editorial assessment

May Not Suit

  • People who require one named surgeon to perform extraction, channel creation and implantation personally.
  • People who require a complete named technical-team roster or a current official daily-patient and concurrency policy before enquiry.
  • People who require independently audited clinic-wide success, graft-survival, complication or revision statistics.
