Dr. Hakan Doganay

His site states he founded AHD Clinic in Antalya, Turkey, in 2003, and graduated from Selcuk University's medical faculty in 1993 1. Its clinic-branded bio describes public medical postings between 1993 and 2009, including primary care in Antalya and emergency medicine at Serik State Hospital, before he resigned in 2009 to work full-time in hair transplantation 6. His site says he also operates at Lara Anadolu Hospital in Antalya 1.

The clinic states Doganay moved from FUT in 2003 to FUE in 2005, describing him as an early adopter of the DHI pen-implanter technique in Turkey 1. It now uses DHI exclusively for implanting grafts, offering shaven and unshaven transplants for men and women, beard and mustache transplantation, body-hair donor grafts, eyebrow transplantation, and correction of prior unsatisfactory transplants 6. FUE extraction uses 0.7 to 0.9mm punches with transection rate limited to 1 to 2% 4. Sessions are capped at 2,000 to 2,500 grafts within eight hours, and beard hair covers a donor shortfall for about one in five patients, chest hair for roughly 2 to 3% 7. Candidacy is screened on donor capacity, age, and genetic factors, with unlikely-to-be-satisfied patients told so rather than operated on 7.

Citing Turkish legal regulations, the site states it does not publish specific price figures online 3. Its all-inclusive package is described as covering the DHI procedure, a consultation with Doganay, a 3-day stay at a 5-star hotel, and VIP transfers between airport, clinic, and hotel 7. It states it has never issued a "warranty certificate" to a patient, saying such documents have no standing in genuine medical practice 7.

The site offers a free online consultation to build a treatment plan 2. For the initial assessment it asks for scalp photos or a video consultation, then follows a four-step process: consultation to confirm candidacy, pre-arrival lab work and shaving, the operation, and post-operative support running through one year afterward 7. Aftercare is described as pain relievers, antibiotics, and a special shampoo in a complimentary kit, with ongoing WhatsApp, phone, or email contact 7.

Doganay is listed in the IAHRS directory of hair restoration surgeons 8. His site states he obtained a Medical Aesthetic Specialist Certificate through Ministry of Health-run courses in 2004, and is a founding-member contributor to the Turkish Association of Hair Transplant Physicians 1. He does not appear in the ABHRS, ISHRS, or FUE Europe directories checked for this profile.
