Dr. Resul Yaman

The clinic describes Dr. Resul Yaman as a hair specialist who graduated from Cerrahpasa Faculty of Medicine in 2005 1. He works out of a boutique multi-specialty hospital he founded 4. By its own account, he developed hair loss as a student in 2003, worked as an assistant physician at a hair clinic from 2008, had his own transplant in 2009, and opened his clinic in Istanbul in 2010 2. The clinic states the surgeon personally examines each patient, creates the hairline and conducts the surgical steps himself 3. It states his standard is that a transplant still recognizable a year later means the procedure was performed incorrectly 4.

Extraction uses manual, non-motorized punches, including a half-rotator punch for most patients at up to 3,500 grafts a day, said to suit curly hair better than motorized punches 5. Implantation uses the Yaman Implanter, a non-cutting-tip pen Dr. Yaman developed 9. In the frontal hairline, he also cuts recipient sites with sapphire blades himself; a standard DHI Choi pen is used in the crown 3. On candidacy, the ideal age is after 25, body hair can serve as a secondary donor source, and an unshaven option exists for some patients 3. Large cases can run up to 4,000-4,500 grafts a day, split across two days if needed 6. They can also run as a two-stage procedure a year apart, to allow donor-area recovery 3.

The clinic prices its package at €1 to €3.50 per graft 6. It includes consultations, blood tests and PRP, medication, a shampoo and lotion kit, a hotel stay, and transfers, with flights excluded 6. It runs one standard price policy, choosing technique by age, hair type and scalp condition, not budget 6.

Booking starts with a free online consultation covering hair loss pattern, donor area and expectations from scalp photos 4. Before surgery, it runs blood tests, an ECG and other clinical tests 4. Afterward, recovery and growth are checked regularly through the first year 4. Growth starts around six months and increases over the next six, with results assessed at twelve 3.

The clinic states Dr. Yaman has been featured in industry publications: the Hair Transplant Network, the International Alliance of Hair Restoration Surgeons and the Hair Restoration Social Network 7. He is also listed on IAHRS's find-a-surgeon directory for Turkey 8.
