Background
Dr. Tayfun Oguzoglu founded DrT Hair Transplant Clinic in Ankara, Turkey, in 1998 1. He graduated from Gazi University's Faculty of Medicine in Ankara in 1990 2. The clinic states it has specialized exclusively in hair transplant surgery ever since 3. It later opened a Kyrenia, Cyprus location in 2017; Germany and Austria are also listed as locations, without detail 1. DrT Hair calls its approach boutique and doctor-led 3. Surgery is performed exclusively by Dr. Oguzoglu himself 4.
Procedures and techniques
The clinic offers Sapphire FUE, DHI, Long Hair FUE, and Body Hair Transplantation 3. Sapphire FUE extracts with a micromotor and implants through sapphire-blade channels, which the clinic says gives higher density and suits sessions of 3,500+ grafts 5. DHI implants directly with Choi pens and no pre-made channels, shaving only the donor area 3. The clinic credits Dr. Oguzoglu as a pioneer of Long Hair FUE, its unshaven method 3. Plans are built around hair characteristics, donor capacity, age, and expectations 3, with the hairline confirmed on surgery day.
Pricing
DrT Hair does not publish a clinic-specific price list. A blog post on its site frames Turkish pricing generally, stating an experienced surgeon in Turkey typically charges between $2,000 and $6,000, usually including the operation, transfers, accommodation, and post-operative medications 7. The free online consultation is described as returning a personalized plan, graft estimate, and pricing at no charge 4.
Booking and aftercare
Before surgery, patients stop aspirin or anticoagulants a week ahead, limit alcohol, stop smoking one to two weeks before, and stop minoxidil two weeks before 6. The clinic arranges hotel, transfers, and a private driver on arrival 6. Surgery day runs registration, an in-person consultation with the doctor, and final hairline design, then a roughly six-hour procedure with a lunch break 6. Patients return next day for a professional first wash before most fly home, then follow a 14-day at-home wash plan; the clinic states it continues monitoring results online 6.

Tonytime224 reports that Dr Tayfun Oguzoglu performed a 2,800-graft FUE procedure in 2019. At 60 months post-op, he says he is still losing hair, particularly in the crown, and is considering another procedure before his wedding. He wonders whether removing scabs/crust at days 7–9 and resuming workouts after 18 days may have harmed his result.
