Our case studies document individual patients rather than idealised averages: the Norwood or Ludwig stage at presentation, the donor density measured on the morning of surgery, the graft count actually placed, the technique chosen for each zone, the number of days spent in Istanbul and photographs taken at fixed intervals afterwards. Reading them is the most useful way to calibrate expectations, because the same graft count produces very different coverage depending on donor capacity, hair calibre, curl and the size of the bald area. Each case names the clinicians involved — hairline design by founder Şule Ölmez, channel incisions by Dr. Enver Kayıkçıoğlu under the surgical supervision of Medical Director Dr. Selahattin Tulunay, sedation by Dr. Zafer Ersin Ünlüer — and follows the same 8-step protocol. Timelines in the photographs match the biology rather than marketing: shedding in weeks 2–4, first growth at month 3–4, 40–50% density at month 5–6, 60–80% at month 7–9 and the mature result between month 14 and 18. Cases cover Sapphire FUE, DHI and Hybrid plans, mega sessions above 5,000 grafts, unshaven procedures within the 1,700–1,800 graft daily limit, women's hairline lowering, beard and eyebrow work, and repair of poorly executed transplants from other clinics.

Yes, all published with patient consent, taken at the clinic under consistent lighting at fixed intervals. No stock or supplier images are used.
Coverage depends on donor density, hair calibre, curl and the surface area being covered. A thick-haired patient at 3,500 grafts can look denser than a fine-haired patient at 5,000.
Yes. Repairs of over-harvested donor areas and unnaturally straight hairlines are a real part of our workload and they are documented alongside first-time procedures.
Meaningful change appears from month 3–4 after the shedding phase, with 40–50% density around month 5–6. Anything published as a final result is at least 12 months post-op.
Send photos through the free assessment and we will point you to documented cases at a comparable stage and donor capacity, along with the plan and total for your own case.
