€3,300 for 4,800 grafts Patient reported, Nov 2025 · Cost detailsBackground
Dr Sibel Ulusan is a founding physician of Dr. Ulusan Clinic in Bayraklı, Izmir 12. She runs the clinic with Dr Zafer Ulusan, an internal medicine specialist and co-founder 1. Her profile says she graduated from Dokuz Eylül University Faculty of Medicine in 1989 3. It says her background includes emergency medicine 3. In 2004 she obtained a Medical Aesthetics Medicine certificate from the Turkish Ministry of Health and began work in medical aesthetics and hair restoration 3. The clinic gives 2,500+ patients from 40+ countries and 20+ years of hair transplant experience, figures it says were confirmed in September 2026 1. The clinic's older website, drulusan.com, gives different figures: more than 4,000 patients from 45 countries 4. That site says the clinic was established in 2009 and moved to a new 500 square metre facility in 2023 4.
Procedures and techniques
The clinic describes FUE and FUT hair transplants 5. It also lists scalp micropigmentation, low-level laser therapy and fillers 67. Both doctors carry out consultations, medical assessments, treatment planning and hairline design 1. The clinic says Dr Sibel Ulusan can personally perform every stage of hair transplantation and trains new team members 1. Who does each stage depends on the package 8. In the "Every stage with Dr. Sibel" option, she does the channel opening, graft extraction and placement herself 8. In VIP Plus she opens the channels, and extraction and placement are by whoever is named in the written plan 8. In VIP, the doctor for those stages is named in the written plan 8. The older site says an FUE procedure takes 4 to 8 hours depending on the number of grafts 9.
Pricing
The clinic does not publish its own prices 8. Its price page shows a comparison of other Turkish clinics' published prices and says these are not Ulusan Clinic prices 8. It says the clinic gives an individual written quotation after assessment 8. The VIP and VIP Plus packages list shampoo, a pillow, tests and medication as included 8. Hotel and transfers can be quoted separately, or patients can arrange travel themselves 8.
Booking and aftercare
The hair transplant page offers a free consultation 5. The clinic advises patients to discuss who will perform each stage during the consultation 1. The older site offers lifelong follow-up care after the operation 10. It promises that hairline design and density planning are agreed with the doctor 10. It does not state a guarantee of results 10.

Few_Delivery_7419 had about 5,100 grafts (5,153 as stated at day 10) with Sibel Ulusan in Izmir in 2024, paying 5,100 USD for the VIP package, where he said she is involved from start to finish. Before booking, he flagged as a red flag that years-old progress pictures from the clinic were being reposted on Reddit as recent. After surgery he reported shock loss in the donor area and worried about transection of his native hair given the density placed. At 4 months he said he was "Pretty happy so far" and expected a little more growth.

Responsible-Cup690 had a 1,300-graft FUE at Sibel Ulusan's clinic in Izmir in 2024. At about 10 weeks (August 2024) they called it an "absolutely terrifying experience", said the donor area looked far thinner than that number would suggest, and reported severe hair loss on the sides and shock loss in the recipient area. They said the clinic attributed it to telogen effluvium, that they believe more grafts were taken than agreed (their own assumption), and that they were preparing a lawsuit. In December 2024 they added that the clinic used their pictures to fake a review. No price was stated.

Askodras had a procedure with Dr. Sibel Ulusan at MedicalHair in Izmir, Turkey in January 2024, ending with 4,446 grafts for $3,500 USD. He said the surgery ran about 12 hours and the numbing was painful, but at day 7 wrote he was "extremely happy with the experience". At four months (May 2024) he was "Super happy with my results so far" and highly recommended her, though he thought only about 1,000 grafts to the crown may not be enough and a second surgery might follow the 1-year result.

This user had about 4,640 grafts (4.6k) with Dr. Sibel Ulusan on 26 December 2024, choosing a conservative plan to leave donor hair for a possible second procedure; no price is stated. At one month he had shed most if not all transplanted hairs, hoping this was the worst of the ugly duckling phase. At 3 months he saw first signs of growth but worried about density and space between grafts, and at 6 months he said he was overall happy though some areas were still thin, saying about 20% more thickness would make him ecstatic.

Puzzleheaded_Fan4524 had about 5,000 FUE grafts with Dr Sibel Ulusan in Turkey in 2023, paying around 5K USD including hotel and transfers, and says the doctor did their extractions and incisions over about 12 hours. They chose her because a friend had gone and was happy. At 14 months they call the operation 'one of the best decisions I ever made', though it takes at least a year to feel the accomplishment; pain was limited to the anaesthesia needles and channel incisions. A later commenter reported a bad experience with the same clinic.

iiaxzerus had a standard FUE transplant with Dr. Ulusan in 2024, plus a micrograft rootcell treatment the next day, and posted a one-year update with photos. He was told 3150 grafts were extracted and the session lasted nearly 10 hours, with two nights in Turkey included in the package. Scabs cleared around day ten, redness lasted until about week five and shedding began a few weeks in. He believes this is the final result and is collecting opinions, without stating an overall verdict.

ogeza, who is from Turkey, had about 4,500 grafts with Dr Sibel Ulusan in Izmir in 2025 for 2,500 EUR, a price he says includes the surgeon's involvement. At 2 weeks he called the experience "really satisfactory" but said he would wait to see the results. A commenter worried about how close together the donor punches were; he says he raised this during the operation and was told the donor had been arranged well, and that he would see how it healed.
