Background

Dr. A. Muttalip Keser is a specialist in esthetic, plastic, and reconstructive surgery, graduating from Ankara University Medical Faculty in 1991 and training in plastic surgery at Ankara Numune Education and Research Hospital from 1992 to 1997 1. He founded the Derma-Plast esthetic surgery center in Ankara in 1998; the clinic states FUE was added there in 2003 and describes him as the first person in Turkey to perform the technique 1. It states he spent about 20 months developing his own extraction needle through university-affiliated departments in Turkey and the USA before it was patented 1. The clinic states he has performed FUE on more than 2000 patients from nearly 30 countries 4 and performs the whole procedure himself rather than delegating it 2.

Procedures and techniques

The clinic describes FUE performed with a self-designed needle under 1mm in diameter (0.7-0.9mm), patented in Turkey in 2003 3. Donor hair is trimmed to about 1mm, the areas are locally anesthetized, and the needle is inserted 6-7mm at the hair's natural growth angle so each unit comes out as a small cylinder before extraction 3. It states no incision or suturing is used and punctures heal within a few days with almost no visible scarring 3. Larger cases are divided into multiple days of 500-700 grafts each, about two days apart, its stated optimum 2. Density is described as 60-80 follicular units per cm2 3. Donor hair can be taken from any part of the head, and the clinic states body hair can also be moved to the scalp or vice versa 3.

Booking and aftercare

Before surgery, the clinic asks patients to stop aspirin, anti-inflammatories, herbal supplements, alcohol, and smoking for about a week, stating that smoking impedes wound healing 6. Minoxidil is paused three weeks out, though finasteride can continue through surgery 6. Patients bring blood test results from within six months and avoid a haircut beforehand so the area can be assessed 6. Afterward, the bandage comes off the next day, hair is washed with a Providone-Iodine scrub for two days, and an ophthalmic pomade helps scabs clear over five to six days 5. Razors are avoided on the treated area for a full year, though clipper haircuts are allowed after one month 5. The clinic states patients are expected to keep updating Dr. Keser or his team on hair growth after surgery 2.
