Achtergrond

Dr. Kayihan Sahinoglu werkt in zijn eigen kliniek in Atasehir, Istanbul, Turkije 1. Volgens zijn ISHRS-profiel studeerde hij geneeskunde aan de Istanbul University en begon hij in 1996 met haartransplantatie in Baltimore, Maryland, voordat hij zijn kliniek in Istanbul oprichtte 2. Hetzelfde profiel zegt dat hij sinds 1986 anatomie doceert aan de Istanbul University Medical School 2. De website van de kliniek zegt dat hij meer dan 5.000 haartransplantaties heeft uitgevoerd, terwijl het ISHRS-profiel meer dan 4.000 noemt 12. De kliniek zegt dat internationale patiënten 85% van zijn patiënten uitmaken 3.

Behandelingen en technieken

Volgens het ISHRS-profiel voert hij uitsluitend FUE uit, dicht geplaatst met 35 tot 50 grafts per vierkante centimeter 2. De homepage van de kliniek zegt dat hij maar één patiënt per dag behandelt en noemt extractie door de chirurg zelf als een van de redenen om voor hem te kiezen 1. De kliniek zegt dat hij op één dag 2.500 tot 3.000 grafts oogst, en 4.000 tot 5.000 grafts over twee opeenvolgende dagen als het donorgebied dat toelaat 3. Zijn ISHRS-profiel vermeldt ook baard-, wenkbrauw- en littekenbehandelingen en medische behandeling van haaruitval 2.

    howling-at-the-sun travelled from the US for an FUE of 2,400 grafts with Dr. Kayihan Sahinoglu in Istanbul in late November 2024, paying 1.8 euro per graft plus 100 euro for the airport transfer and about 70 euro per night for the hotel. Before booking he liked the conservative graft estimate and dealing with the doctor directly. At 6 and 8 months post-op he wrote that he 'could not be happier' and called it 'An extremely positive experience from beginning to end.'

    Moist_Permit6513 had 3,400 grafts over two days (2,000 then 1,400) with Dr. Kayihan Sahinoglu in Istanbul in 2024 for around $8,000, with hotel and car service separate. Two weeks after surgery they were 'satisfied overall'; at 10 months they said the front looks great but the middle is 'not as good as I hoped for', with a gap near the crown. They add that the surgeon is very slow to respond because he does everything himself.

    Terrible_Trouble177 had not had surgery with Dr Kayihan Sahinoglu in the reports we hold. In November 2024 he said the doctor quoted about 3200 grafts at 1.8 euros per graft, but complained that WhatsApp replies were very slow. In December he said he was unsure about going ahead because the doctor prefers a conservative, natural hairline while he wanted a more aggressive one, adding "not saying that he is not a good doctor". By January 2025 he had a transplant booked for the following week in Istanbul and was asking about the hotel, which he said costs 72 euro a night but 479 euros on the day of the transplant.

    tyronne26 completed a transplant with Dr Kayihan Sahinoglu in Atasehir, the day before posting, paying 1.8 euro per graft for 3100 grafts (5580 EUR), though the doctor had initially stated 3270. He wrote that the doctor ticked every box of expectation and elsewhere called him just amazing. This is a one-day post-op impression, so no results are reported.

    Accomplished_Dig_660 did not have surgery with Dr. Kayihan Sahinoglu. Through the referral company Healthtravels they were quoted 2,800 grafts at 1.8 euro per graft (5,040 euro) over 3 days, and they ended up choosing a Bangkok surgeon instead. They noted that when they contacted the clinic themselves they never got a reply, and that Sahinoglu has no real patient stories floating around, positive or negative.

    imjustwondering30 has not had surgery and is comparing four Turkish options at Norwood 7, on finasteride and minoxidil, with a budget of around 5500 USD. For Dr Sahinoglu he lists a quote of 2400-2800 grafts for about €4300-5040, alongside quotes from HLC, Dr T and Bicer. He asks why he should pick one and avoid the others and gives no verdict on Sahinoglu.

    Odd_Technician_1676 had only a consultation with Dr Sahinoglu in Istanbul, who advised that his donor area is too thin and in low quantity, so he is no longer a good candidate. He calls it a hard pill to swallow, gives no verdict on the surgeon, and asks for second opinions. No procedure was performed and no price is stated.

    Baeyb, a Norwood 2 with a healthy donor area, was choosing between Dr Kayihan Sahinoglu and another surgeon for September 2025. Sahinoglu quoted 5k USD for 2,500 grafts including airport transport to a hotel within walking distance of the clinic, against 10k USD for 2,500 grafts from the other. They found him well respected but with little information and few reviews online, and had not had surgery.

    This user, Norwood 5, had a first procedure with Dr Kayihan Sahinoglu in Turkey around May 2022 at $1.5 per graft (graft count not given). At 7 months they saw definite improvement and wrote "I recommend this Dr.", saying he is hands on and sees one patient a day. In 2024 they said they had had 2 procedures with him and after a year of the second they were kind of unhappy with the density.

    Denactor was choosing between Dr Kayihan Sahinoglu and Dr İlhan Serdaroğlu and had not had surgery with either. They report Sahinoglu's price as 1.8 euro per graft with accommodation not included, against about 1.3-5 euro per graft for Serdaroglu. They say both responded with the exact number of grafts needed and are reputable, and that Sahinoglu does everything including channelling but plants with his nurses. They think the outcome is about the same and asked whether it is worth paying extra.
