Dr. Resul Yaman
Founder and lead hair transplant surgeon·Dr. Resul Yaman Hair Clinic (inside Yaman Surgical Medical Center)
Türkiye
$3,500 for 4,330 grafts Patient reported, May 2026 · Cost detailsBackground
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.
Procedures and techniques
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. The clinic states the surgeon first creates micro-incisions in the frontal hairline and temples, where grafts are placed with the Yaman Implanter, a pen with a non-cutting edge that Dr. Yaman developed; implantation then continues with a standard DHI Choi implanter 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.
Pricing
The clinic does not publish a price on its site (as of October 2026); its cost page gives €1 to €3.50 per graft only as what clinics in Turkey with doctor involvement usually charge, not as its own price 6.
Booking and aftercare
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.
Credentials and memberships
The clinic states his current membership is with the International Alliance of Hair Restoration Surgeons (IAHRS), lists a professional affiliation with the American Hair Loss Association and membership of TÜMSAD, and says the Hair Transplant Network recognized him as a recommended surgeon from 2015 to 2025 7. The same page gives his membership of the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery (ISHRS) as 2014 to 2024, and the ISHRS directory did not list him in October 2026 7. He is also listed on IAHRS's find-a-surgeon directory for Turkey 8.

A 40-year-old man had about 4,510 grafts with Dr Yaman in Istanbul on 28 September 2023, after a quote of $3,250 for 4,000 to 4,500 grafts; he said all-in it was a little over $5k including flights. He called the day after "an A++ experience", then described a rough middle: the donor area looked worse than ever at day 62 and the result looked worse than before at day 91, with awful shock loss. At 10 months he said some areas did not grow as they should but there is enough coverage and he was still growing.

hairtodaygonetmrw82, a Norwood 6, had about 6,000-6,200 FUE grafts (6,186 at $1 per graft) with Dr. Yaman in Istanbul in March 2024, after choosing him over other options and lowering the proposed hairline 1cm. They reported heavy shedding, minor folliculitis and a language barrier with technicians, and at 7 months said "TBH I'm still not looking great" while reserving judgment. By 10 months they had a restored hairline but sparse density and persistent redness, summing up "I don't think it was a total botch job but it could be a lot better."

This user had about 4,200 grafts with Dr Resul Yaman in Istanbul, paying roughly 3,200 USD as they remember it. At 8 months they posted a cobblestoning-type appearance that Nizoral had not improved, and said they have sensitive skin. In comments they described fantastic results and experience and said they would go back, but also said they would now hesitate to recommend him because of the many negative reviews, and would choose a more expensive option if they had the money.

The user went to Dr. Resul Yaman in Turkey in early 2025 and reports about 4,000 grafts (3,500 front, 500 back) for $3,250 USD, which they say included hotel, transport, medication and the transplant. At day 5 they said the donor area was still a little sore and that they had scalp psoriasis. At six months they described a great experience and said they would use him again, but the result was still not perfect and a little patchy, with some issues at two months that seemed to be resolved. They describe themselves as a slow grower. A commenter on their first thread alleged botched jobs by Yaman on Hair Restoration Network, which the user said they had not seen.

This user reports two hair transplants (and a minor beard transplant) with Resul Yaman in Istanbul, starting in 2023, with the first said to be 4,500 grafts ('supposedly'). At 8 months he reported persistent itching, numbness and many spots without growth; by two years and again in a separate post he said the donor was over-harvested and the top lacked density, and that the clinic ignored him after he was unhappy. In his words, 'Yaman is not a good doctor!' Early on, he had said 'I am glad I did' after going through with the surgery.

At 11 months, they said they were “absolutely happy with the result,” particularly for the price, and that the crown was still improving.

LBizzel87 had a roughly 3,000-graft transplant with Dr Yaman in Istanbul on 20-21 December 2023 for $3,250 (about 2.5k GBP), including aftercare, three nights in a hotel, transfers and PRP; it was a second transplant after an earlier UK one of about 2,000 grafts that left him short of density. He reported the experience as "amazing" and tracked growth from 'ugly duckling' at 12 days to 'so thick and fast' by 3-4.5 months. At 12 months he said he was "happy with my 12 month result", crediting crown and mid-scalp improvement to medication rather than the transplant.

raef_tr had 4,700 grafts by FUE with Dr Yaman in Istanbul in December 2023 and says he paid $2.9k in USD cash. He describes himself as Norwood 6 with diffuse thinning and chose to put the grafts into a natural-looking front rather than saving them for the crown. He posted from the day of surgery through six months, saying early on that the doctor did a great job and at six months titling the update 'Happy results with Dr Yaman'. No complications are reported.

Next128 had 3,000 grafts extracted by FUE at the Resul Yaman clinic in Istanbul in 2024 and says a technician did the extraction. He reports that his donor area was severely overharvested, that the clinic did not map the donor to assess an extraction strategy, and that Yaman did not consider his density when recommending 3k grafts. He says he deeply regrets going with him and blames Yaman's technicians rather than researching him enough beforehand. At 5.5 months he reported the donor had improved but had not fully recovered.

West8755 had 3,740 grafts with Dr Resul Yaman in Turkey on 22 October 2022, paying a $3,250 USD package that covered hotel, driver, translator, doctor oversight and medication (he also gave $3,200 in a later post, and $5,350 total travel cost including a $1,700 flight). He said Yaman examined his scalp and designed the hairline and recipient holes while trained technicians implanted. He reported growth coming in nicely at 7 months, a donor area that looked 'like nothing happened' at 12 months, and called it the 'best decision of my life'. A two-year update followed; commenters there mostly praised the result, though one urged buyers to research Yaman because they said his work is inconsistent.
