Dr. Dogan Turan

Medical Director and Co-Owner·FUECAPILAR

Türkiye

Background

Dr. Dogan Turan is Medical Director and Co-Owner of FUECAPILAR, based in the Avcilar district of Istanbul 1. Per the clinic's bio, he graduated from Istanbul Medical School in 1986 and moved into hair restoration in 1999, founding a private hair transplant center in Izmir 1. He moved that work to Istanbul in 2012 and has co-owned FUECAPILAR since 2018; the clinic states he has performed more than 3,500 hair transplants since 1999 1.

Procedures and techniques

FUECAPILAR describes a hybrid extraction method on Turan's team, using manual and micro-motor punch sized per patient from donor samples taken at consultation 2. Turan personally handles consultation and hairline design and implants every graft himself with the implanter pen, while a named extraction specialist performs the extraction 3. Extraction and implantation are staged through the surgery to limit graft time outside the body, and a digital microscope selects single-hair follicles for the hairline 2. The implanter pen combines channel creation and graft placement into one step, which the clinic says reduces bleeding and trauma versus separate channel opening 2. Hairline design follows a facial-thirds proportion adjusted to the patient, with age-appropriate design emphasized 3. Single-session extraction is capped at roughly a third of the donor area, so very large cases split into two surgeries 12 to 15 months apart, and each doctor is limited to two surgeries per day 3.

Pricing

FUECAPILAR does not publish prices for Dr. Turan's procedures on its site, and states it offers no discounts, though it may add covered hotel nights for group bookings depending on graft numbers 3.

Booking and aftercare

Booking requires a health form approved by Dr. Turan before a date is pre-reserved, followed by a €500 deposit due within three days 3. Patients stay in the clinic's designated hotel from the night before surgery to the day of the post-op wash 3. Follow-up photos are required on a set schedule through 18 months, and the clinic states that if more than 20% of transplanted follicles show no growth by 12 to 18 months, having followed post-op instructions, it will perform a revision surgery 3.

Credentials and memberships

The clinic lists Turan as a member of the International Alliance of Hair Restoration Surgeons, the American Board of Hair Loss, and the World FUE Institute, and as a recommended doctor of the Hair Restoration Network and Belli Capelli 1.
