Pricing: 3/5
Transparent pricing is available.
Detailed all inclusive packages are listed.
Aftercare medications, and shampoos are included in the price.
A fixed price for a single surgical session.
The premium package is affordable (Price < 3000€)
The Dr. Ziya Yavuz clinic in Turkey doesn’t have clear pricing on its website or social media profiles.
But, on medical travel agency websites, the Dr. Ziya Yavuz pricing is indicated as follows:
Dr. Ziya Yavuz Pricing Table
| Standart FUE | Sapphire FUE | DHI | Beard FUE | Eyebrow Transplant | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| up to 4500 grafts | $2075 | $2525 | $3375 | $2075 | $1500 |
Dr. Ziya Yavuz’s all-inclusive package details:
- Pre- and post-op consultations and follow-up
- 2 nights at a 4 or 5-star hotel
- Airport, hotel, and clinic transfers
- Post-op care kit consisting of antibiotics, painkillers, anti-swelling drugs, antiseptic serum, hat, neck pillow, and shampoo
- PRP after transplant
- Guarantee certificate
- Dermojet needle-free anesthesia
They offer a maximum of 4500 grafts transplanted in a session, and that maximum graft limit is pretty normal in regular or sapphire FUE sessions. The work’s quality is essential. And we assume the maximum graft count is lower in a DHI session. Please consult the clinic to find out.
Pre-Surgery, Consultation and Booking: 3/5
Scalp condition improved with pre-op instructions for the best result.
1-1 online consultation with the doctor is available.
Detailed hair loss and transplant report provided. (+)
English-speaking customer success and sales specialists available.
Detailed information of phases provided.
We found a little information regarding pre-op instructions on Dr. Ziya Yavuz’s website. These instructions aim to prepare the scalp for the best result. They generally contain nutrition and supplement advice, do’s and don’ts, and some personalized advice. That’s a minus point.
During your free consultation, you meet with Dr. Yavuz himself (according to the promise of the clinic), and he examines your scalp and hair loss. Then you are quoted, and the booking process starts.
Starting the pre-surgery process with Dr. Ziya Yavuz’s hair transplant clinics is very straightforward. You can also get a detailed analysis of your hair loss and transplantation procedures through an interactive tool, but it doesn’t include the expert perspective.
There are English-speaking sales specialists available, too. So international patients will have no problem communicating their needs during the booking process.
There isn’t any specific information on their website regarding the steps of the surgeries, etc. Also, hair transplant surgeries at Dr. Ziya Yavuz Clinic don’t seem to provide any instruction for scalp conditioning pre-and post-op.
Facilities, Services, and Accommodation: 4/5
Transfers are done with a VIP van.
5- star International Hotels included.
3-night accommodation included.
Operation rooms in hospitals/clinics are top-notch.
The hotel and clinic are in the central location.
The clinic picks you up from the airport and handles all transfers in Istanbul with VIP vehicles.
The basic FUE package only includes 2-night accommodation in a 4-star hotel Park Inn by Radisson in Kozyatagi. We think a patient needs a rest day after a hair transplant to recover faster. And most Turkish clinics provide it by default, and that’s a drawback for the clinic.
The patients get their hair transplants in a large hospital with high-end facilities. So, you should expect comfort and attentive staff throughout the whole process. Acibadem Hospital is one the branches of the biggest hospital chains in Turkey and is accredited by the Joint Commission International (JCI). It is equipped with cutting-edge technology equipment.
The hospital, Dr. Ziya Yavuz Hair Clinic, is located in the Acibadem Hospital in Kadikoy. And one hotel option is located in Atasehir (Park Inn by Radisson), and another is in Kozyatagi (5-star Hilton Hotel). Both the clinic and hotel are not very far from tourist places.
Acibadem Hospital, chosen for Dr. Ziya Yavuz for hair transplantation, is only 36km from Sabiha Gokcen Airport (SAW) and 57km from Istanbul Airport (IST).
Physicians and Staff: 3/5
A dermatologist or plastic surgeon is available.
An anesthesiologist for sedation is available.
The surgeon has done over 1000 hair transplants.
3 or more technicians/nurses are part of the operational team.
English-speaking physicians and staff.
Dr. Ziya Yavuz is a medical aesthetic specialist. Our PSR framework requires the surgeon to be either a dermatologist or plastic surgeon since they specialize in hair transplant surgeries.
However, he has over 18 years of experience in hair transplantation and conducted over 1000 surgeries, making him a good choice for hair transplantation.
Dr. Yavuz and his team are medical professionals that are very attentive to patients. Most of the online review praises the staff and Dr. Yavuz’s expertise, which potential patients should take into account.
The surgical work done during the procedure is by Dr. Yavuz himself, with other technicians on his team active in the harvesting and implantation stages. He regularly checks patients’ conditions even if he is not performing his parts.
Dr. Ziya Yavuz does not offer soft sedation anesthesia done by an anesthesiologist. Some patients may have hair transplant trypophobia or experience stress and anxiety before the hair transplant surgery. In this case, sedation is pretty helpful for the doctor and patient.
And following the operation, Dr. Yavuz examines the patient and is active in every stage of the process.

Surgery Methods and Doctor Involvement: 3/5
A doctor performs & supervises all operations.
Bio-enhancements are used for harvested graft preservation.
Only one patient a day accepted / No simultaneous operations.
Needle-free local anesthesia and sedation are available.
Laser-assisted hairline drawing and telogen/miniaturization check.
Medical agency websites indicate that Dr. Yavuz either operates or supervises every stage of the hair transplant procedure.
However, in other sources, we see that Dr. Ziya Yavuz only performs pre-op consultation and draws the hairline.
Since we follow ISHRS hair transplant guidelines, we believe the doctor should perform surgical parts. You can ask the clinic to ensure Dr. Yavuz performs the surgical parts.
Dr. Ziya Yavuz’s hair clinic offers three hair transplant techniques: Sapphire FUE, regular FUE with lateral slit, and DHI. He doesn’t employ Artas Robotic Hair Transplant or FUT techniques.
In each hair restoration package of the clinic, needle-free dermojet local anesthesia is standard, and no extra fee is charged.
However, the clinic doesn’t seem to be utilizing bio-enhancements such as ACell, HypoThermosol, or ATPv, which can be considered a downside compared to other clinics.
Post-Surgery, Instructions and Aftercare: 4/5
Regular post-op doctor consultations are provided.
Re-operation guarantee or lifetime warranty available.
Online post-op instructions are easily accessible.
Post-op ATPv spray provided for increased graft survival.
Medications and shampoos are available.
The day after the surgery, bandages are removed, and Dr. Yavuz examines the patient after the first hair wash. From now on, the clinic reaches out to patients to ask for photos to monitor the healing process.
Dr. Yavuz provides patients with the guarantee certificate, meaning that he stands behind in his work, and if any complication occurs, he’ll handle it.
The clinic’s website includes brief content about post-op hair transplant instructions. It does not have many details, but it is ok since the patient is educated about post-op instructions after the first hair wash.
Since Dr. Ziya Yavuz does not perform bio-enhanced hair restoration, he does not provide post-op ATPv spray, which increases the graft survival rate. The spray is very common in the UK and US.
Online Reviews: 4/5
The clinic has over 500+ online reviews.
Negative reviews are positively handled.
Independent review website ratings 4.5+.
Video testimonials of actual patients are available.

Firstly, Dr. Ziya Yavuz Hair Clinic isn’t listed on Trustpilot, which can be a red flag for many patients. But according to us, it’s ok not to have a profile on the platform if you use other reliable platforms to get objective patient comments.
Other than that, the clinic’s total number of reviews from different platforms isn’t more than 400. The reviews are overwhelmingly positive, and ex-patients have a high satisfaction rate. They also have a testimonial and clinic discovery video that BBC shot.
Some of the good reviews are as follows:
Some of the bad reviews are as follows:
Before and After Photos: 3/5
Before/After photos available.
Natural-looking results (especially hairline).
Graft survival over %90.
No overharvesting.
The surgery technique is indicated.
Dr. Yavuz’s website has a dedicated page for before-after photos, but it surely lacks content. It only shows 5 patients, and there isn’t any information regarding the used hair transplant technique or graft count.
The clinic has more before and after photos on Instagram. What we like about the clinic’s Instagram page is that it shares good results along with mediocre results, and most clinics only share good results.
The results seem natural. The clinic saves donor hairs for future hair transplants. Keeping precious donors is important since Androgenic Alopecia is a progressive condition; DHT sensitive hairs would continue falling.
Conclusion
Dr. Ziya Yavuz Rating
Dr. Yavuz’s hair transplant is affordable compared to hair transplants in Europe, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
We expect the clinic to show its prices and package details on its official platforms. However, Dr. Yavuz does not share them; if he follows the transparency trend and puts them on the official website, our rating increases.
A pre-op meeting with the doctor and his involvement in the hair restoration surgery is a big plus for the clinic. Most hair mills let technicians handle the job.
In the BBC documentary about Dr. For Yavuz’s hair transplant, we get an objective opinion about the clinic’s procedures. It’s a very reliable source and shows how trustworthy the clinic is.
Online reviews and natural-looking & unfiltered before and after photos are pretty promising. Even though some results are moderate, it is normal. You can’t get a good result from each patient. Sharing every kind of result online improved our trust in the clinic.
Our objective rating for the clinic is 3.4/5.0 according to our Price-Service-Result (PSR) framework.
