PHR Clinic — Dr. Kaan Pekiner
Ankara, Turkey
Last reviewed
Our take
Editorial summary
Current evidence supports a physician-centered, low-throughput FUE model in which Dr. Kaan Pekiner is directly involved in consultation, hairline planning and graft placement. It does not support repeating the older claim that he performs every surgical stage himself: a detailed February 2026 patient account says an assistant performed the initial extractions and Dr. Pekiner extracted an additional 50 grafts. PHR Clinic does not publish a current stage-by-stage operator policy or a meaningful support-team roster. Multiple 2026 patient reports converge around €4 per graft for full-shave FUE and €4.50 per graft for a partial-shave case, but these are patient-reported prices rather than an official tariff. This profile is an evidence summary, not a recommendation.

Who Actually Performs the Procedure?
- Consultation
- Recent patients describe direct discussion of expectations, examination and treatment planning with Dr. Pekiner (Dr. Kaan Pekiner)Third-party source
This is a consistent patient-reported pattern, not a current clinic-published guarantee for every consultation.
Sources:[5][9] - Hairline design
- Recent patient accounts attribute hairline discussion, drawing and revisions to Dr. Pekiner (Dr. Kaan Pekiner)Third-party source
The evidence is case-based and does not establish a universal written clinic policy.
Sources:[5][9] - Planning
- Current patient and quote reports describe Dr. Pekiner determining graft allocation and, in one case, advising against crown transplantation where miniaturized native hair remained (Dr. Kaan Pekiner)Third-party source
These reports support individualized planning in the cited cases, not a guaranteed decision for another patient.
Sources:[7][5] - Incisions / channels
- Not confirmedNot independently confirmed
Current patient evidence is consistent with Dr. Pekiner performing recipient-side work, but PHR Clinic does not publish a universal current channel-creation policy and the reviewed 2026 sources were not sufficiently explicit to code every case.
Sources:[2][5][10] - Extraction
- Extraction can be shared: one February 2026 patient states that an assistant performed the initial extractions and Dr. Pekiner extracted an additional 50 grafts (Dr. Kaan Pekiner, Assistant)Third-party source
This establishes that delegation can occur. It does not establish how often, which assistant participates or whether a doctor-only option is available.

Surgical Team
- Doctors
- Dr. Kaan Pekiner — Hair-restoration physician; ISHRS Full MemberThird-party source
ISHRS lists Dr. Pekiner as an MD and Full Member. THI does not infer a Turkish plastic-surgery or dermatology residency specialty.
Sources:[4] - Roles
- Dr. Pekiner is patient-reported to lead consultation, hairline planning and implantation, An assistant can participate in extractionThird-party source
The current official website discusses surgeon involvement generally but does not publish a stage-by-stage operator policy.
Sources:[5][9] - Team members
- Not confirmedNot independently confirmed
The current PHR Clinic team page provides no meaningful searchable roster. Current assistant names, qualifications, tenure and case-by-case responsibilities were not established.
Sources:[3][5] - Team continuity
- Not confirmedNot independently confirmed
Physician involvement appears consistent across the reviewed cases, but support-team continuity cannot be tracked because the current team roster and assistant responsibilities are not meaningfully published.
Sources:[3][5][10] - Experience notes
- ISHRS currently lists Kaan Pekiner, MD, as a Full Member, with a join year of 2016, and lists FUE, body-hair transplantation, eyebrow transplantation and scar revision among his procedures.Third-party source
This professional listing does not establish ABHRS status or a Turkish plastic-surgery or dermatology residency specialty.

Assessment
Donor Management
- Published information
Current and historical case evidence is consistent with conservative, future-oriented planning and multi-day graft limits. These examples show planning behavior, not a measurable donor-survival or complication rate.
Third-party sourceThe evidence supports a conservative planning pattern in selected cases, not a guaranteed approach or clinic-wide donor outcome.
Sources:[7][5][9][10]Current crown-planning example: A June 2026 prospective patient reports that Dr. Pekiner recommended approximately 2,300 frontal grafts and advised leaving the crown untreated because miniaturized native hair remained.
Sources:[7]Multi-day workflow: Recent 1,150-, approximately 2,300- and 3,106-graft cases or quotes were spread across two or three days, supporting low daily graft throughput without establishing patients per day.
Sources:[5][7][9]Outcome limitation: Independent longitudinal cases provide useful visual evidence but are self-selected, non-standardized and have no representative denominator.

Pricing
- Pricing evidence
- From EUR 4 per graftThird-party source
PHR Clinic does not publish a current tariff. The €4 and €4.50 figures are converging 2026 patient or prospective-patient reports and should be reconfirmed in a dated written quote. One recent case reports hotel and flights as separate; package inclusions are not generalized from that single case.
Sources:[5][7][8][9] - Other inclusions
- Full-shave FUE: approximately €4 per graft in multiple 2026 patient or quote reports, Partial-shave FUE: €4.50 per graft in one July 2026 patient report, Optional PRP: €300 in one February 2026 patient reportSources:[5][7][8][9]

After treatment
Aftercare
- First wash
- Recent patients report returning to the clinic for cleaning or washing during the first postoperative days.Third-party source
Timing varies between the cited cases and does not establish a single standardized clinic-wide schedule.
Sources:[5][9] - Clinic follow-up
- One February 2026 patient reports returning on the third day for bandage removal and wound cleaning; another recent patient reports a clinic wash before departure.Third-party source
Patient-reported immediate care; not a current official protocol for every case.
Sources:[5][9] - Remote follow-up
- Not confirmedNot independently confirmed
Patient updates indicate continued contact can occur, but a detailed current standardized remote follow-up schedule and response-time commitment were not established.
Sources:[2][6] - Medications
- One February 2026 patient reports receiving antibiotics, stomach medication and pain medication after surgery.Third-party source
This is case-specific and must not be treated as a universal package or medical recommendation.
Sources:[5] - PRP availability
- YesThird-party source
PRP is patient-reported. One 2026 case reports an optional €300 charge; eligibility and current price should be confirmed directly.

Editorial assessment
What Stands Out
- Recent patient reports consistently describe direct Dr. Pekiner involvement in consultation, hairline planning and graft placement.
- Large procedures are reported across multiple days, with low daily graft throughput rather than a single high-graft session.
- Independent patient material includes multiple time-separated and mature cases, although it cannot provide a clinic-wide success rate.
Editorial assessment
Things to Consider
- Current evidence shows that extraction can be shared with an assistant; PHR Clinic does not publish how often delegation occurs or who is eligible to perform it.
- The clinic's current team page does not provide a meaningful named roster or individual support-team qualifications.
- The current €4 and €4.50 per-graft figures are patient-reported rather than an official published tariff.
- Exact daily patient count, concurrency and number of operative teams remain not confirmed. Multi-day surgery must not be translated into a one-patient-per-day claim.
- Independent outcome cases are self-selected and non-standardized; no representative success, complication or satisfaction rate can be calculated.
Editorial assessment
May Suit
- People seeking physician-led planning and patient-reported doctor-performed graft placement.
- People comfortable with a multi-day FUE plan and relatively low daily graft throughput.
- People who value a substantial body of independent longitudinal case material while understanding its selection limits.
Editorial assessment
May Not Suit
- People who require a current written guarantee that the named doctor performs every extraction.
- People who require a complete named surgical-team roster with current qualifications and tenure.
- People who need an official public tariff, fixed package matrix or confirmed one-patient-per-day policy before enquiry.
