Dr. Ekrem Civas

The clinic, Civas&Akpinar in Ankara, states it was founded in 2003 1. Dr. Ekrem Civas completed his dermatology residency and performed his first FUT transplant in 1999 2. The clinic's site describes him as a Clinical Associate Professor of Dermatology 2. Dr. Umit Akpinar partnered with him in 2020 1. The clinic's own pages conflict on who performs surgery: one states the doctors personally perform every procedure 3. Another describes named nurse technicians, one with 20 years of experience, doing extraction and implantation under doctor supervision 1.

The clinic offers FUE and DHI 3. It describes its own "Custom Blade FUE" method using titanium-coated blades sized to the patient, replaced every 150-200 incisions 4. It says it uses an anesthesia protocol developed for the clinic, described as virtually pain-free, and follows ISHRS-recommended limits against overharvesting 3. Ideal candidates have stable hair loss, sufficient donor area, and realistic expectations 5. It says it first runs a scalp analysis and may offer finasteride, minoxidil, or laser therapy instead of surgery 3. It books one patient a day, which it says reduces graft transection from fatigue 1.

Men's transplants start at €1.75 per graft, with a €4,500 flat package for up to 2,500 grafts over one day 6. The same per-graft rate applies to 3,000 to 3,500 grafts over one day, or 4,500 to 5,000 grafts over two days 6. Women's procedures, unshaven FUE, and repair work are €2.50 per graft, beard €5,000, eyebrow €4,000, stem cell treatment €2,500 6. The package includes a 4-star Ankara hotel, transfers, and an aftercare kit 6. It says the price holds even if graft count exceeds the estimate; card payments carry a 10% fee 6.

Consultations can be online or by video using scalp photos, history, and medications 5. In-person consultation with the doctors happens on the morning of surgery, or a day earlier on request 3. A 10% deposit secures the daily slot; balance due on the day 5. The team says it performs the first post-op hair wash the next day 3. Follow-up runs mainly via WhatsApp for up to a year, with a coordinator available 24/7 1.

Dr. Civas holds FISHRS status with the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery, and is listed by the American Board of Hair Restoration Surgery and the International Alliance of Hair Restoration Surgeons 2.
