His Personal Hair Loss Journey
Unlike many surgeons, the specialist suffered from androgenetic alopecia personally. During his education in medical school, he started experiencing progressive hair loss. While studying in medical school he read the scientific literature regarding androgenetic alopecia, its mechanisms, and medical treatment. Although he personally used various medications, it was clear that he could not permanently restore his hair.
As hair replacements became more common in Turkey, he decided to undergo an intervention in 2009. Personal experience with hair loss helped him understand the impact of baldness not only on the appearance of a person but on the confidence as well. The importance of hair loss problems made him decide to specialize in follicles transplantation procedures.
After undergoing his own surgery in 2009 he joined the clinic where he was operated on as an assistant physician. Two years later in 2011, he opened his own hair transplant clinic in Istanbul.

Founder of Yaman Surgical Medical Center
In 2018, the Turkish physician founded his own boutique hospital in Istanbul called Yaman Surgical Medical Center. His hair clinic works under the same roof in this multidisciplinary medical center, which also includes:
Having such medical center provides additional safety for his patients and comprehensive medical assistance if it is needed.
Innovation by a Hair Transplant Surgeon in Turkey
During all his professional career, he has been making an effort to increase the survival rate of the hair grafts and to increase patient safety.
Low-Speed Modified Micromotor
Back in 2012, the Turkish doctor invented the low-speed modified micromotor in order to reduce trauma in the process of donor harvesting.
In that period, he performed short extraction and implantation procedure when around 1000 grafts were extracted and immediately transplanted. Later, when graft preservation solutions and temperature-controlled storage became widespread practice, he adjusted the protocol to it, however, he continued using the same low-speed extraction to reduce the trauma of donor site.
Development of the Yaman Implanter
With the popularity growth of DHI hair transplant method, the doctor developed his own Yaman Implanter in 2015. This instrument was designed to ensure controlled graft implantation while reducing the trauma of the procedure especially in the areas requiring special care like frontal hairline.
The 3SE Methodology
By 2022, he introduced his own treatment methodology – 3SE – Three Steps to Excellence, which is aimed to make hair grafting procedure more safe and predictable.
Safest Examination
The first step of this methodology starts from the examination, which is performed with the help of 3D scanning technology invented by the physician himself. The characteristics of hair, donor capacity, target density, and distribution are examined before the surgery. During the implantation process, allocation of grafts for every anatomical zone and each square centimeter is followed to achieve proper density and natural look. Such approach makes it possible to create highly personalized treatment plan.
Safest Extraction
During the process of the graft harvesting, the specialist continues using the low-speed extraction approach in order to reduce the trauma of the donor site and scalp itself. Special attention is paid to preventing the over-harvesting and preservation of the donor area.
Safest Implantation
As of 2024, having improved his surgical skills for many years, our doctor has made a new step forward in the implantation protocol by introducing Yaman Hybrid Implantation Methodology. It became the third step of 3SE methodology and is aimed at improving accuracy of the graft placement, natural look, and survival rate of the transplanted hair.
Unlike the standard DHI technique when only one type of the implantation was applied to the whole scalp, the hybrid methodology is based on adjusting the surgical technique according to the characteristics of the recipient area.
- The frontal area is created using the sapphire blades for making recipient sites and implantation using the Yaman Implanter. This approach enables to control direction, angulation, and density of the hair and make hairline natural.
- The crown (vertex) is transplanted using DHI Implanter pen, which makes it possible to implant the grafts into thick scalp tissue while preserving the whorl pattern.
