Türkiye

Background

Dr. Taner Karahan runs a single-surgeon practice in Uskudar, Istanbul, with no separate clinic brand attached to his name 1. Per the practice site, he has 9 years of experience in hair restoration surgery, preceded by 8 years in emergency room medicine 1. The site also states he has performed more than 1,000 operations over his career 1. It also states he limits himself to one operation a day so he can be present through every stage and evaluate the result with the patient afterward 1.

Procedures and techniques

The practice describes DHI (Direct Hair Implantation) as his specialization, while also stating that the doctor's and team's experience and focus matter more to a successful outcome than the technique chosen 1. Alongside DHI, the site lists FUE, PRP therapy, beard and mustache transplant, and eyebrow transplant among its services 1. Its own package descriptions are inconsistent about who performs which procedure: the top FUE package and the DHI package are both listed as performed by Dr. Karahan himself, while a middle FUE package is labeled only as under his supervision 1.

Pricing

No prices are published on the practice's site. Its three package cards describe inclusions rather than cost: hotel accommodation, internal transport, a full medical kit, a PRP session and a washing session are bundled into the top FUE and DHI packages, with the DHI package's graft count listed as 3000 to 3800 hairs 1. Currency and amounts are not stated anywhere on the site.

Booking and aftercare

The practice offers a free online consultation ahead of booking 1. The aftercare elements named in the package inclusions are a washing session and a PRP session bundled into the FUE and DHI packages 1. The site also promotes Dr. Karahan's English fluency as a way for international patients to communicate with him directly 1.

Credentials and memberships

The credentials highlighted on the site belong to the support team rather than to Dr. Karahan himself: nurses and technicians are described as holding Turkish Ministry of Health certifications and diplomas in surgical dermatology 1. No board membership or professional society credential is stated for Dr. Karahan on the site.
