Medical Specialty
The official medical specialty is recorded separately from hair transplantation. “Hair Transplant Specialist” is not used as a medical specialty; it describes a clinical focus or role, not a Turkish residency branch.
Credential Membership
- ✓ABHRS – Diplomate

- ✓ISHRS – Member
Techniques
Technique labels are tracked separately from medical specialty and operative responsibility. A check mark identifies a technique verified in the current research record; a question mark means it has not yet been verified for this doctor.
Doctor Involvement
These five stages are tracked separately. A check mark means the doctor’s personal involvement is verified; a question mark means the public evidence is not yet sufficient to confirm that stage.
Procedures
Procedure types are shown only where the doctor's current record supports them. Unverified beard, eyebrow or revision work remains marked with a question mark rather than being inferred from clinic-wide services.
Operating Model
Şahinoğlu's ISHRS record connects medical education at Istanbul University, hair-transplant practice beginning in Baltimore in 1996, a later Istanbul clinic and long-standing anatomy teaching.
The directory record also covers corrective work, eyebrows, scars, FUE and FUT. Those procedure listings describe scope; they do not establish who performs every technical action in each current case.
The most frequent English questions concern FISHRS and ABHRS standing, one-patient-per-day scheduling, contact reliability, medication expectations and whether Şahinoğlu performs the technical stages himself.
This is an operating-model classification, not a quality ranking, safety guarantee or recommendation. The actual team can vary by date, package and patient.
Biography and Medical Education
Prof. Dr. Kayıhan Şahinoğlu is an Istanbul-based physician, former Istanbul University Anatomy academic, founder of a physician-led hair-restoration clinic and a long-standing ISHRS Fellow and ABHRS Diplomate.
Şahinoğlu studied medicine at Istanbul University Istanbul Faculty of Medicine. The assembled directory record places graduation in 1983; Istanbul University's academic system identifies him as a former professor in the Department of Anatomy, Basic Medical Sciences.
The current ISHRS profile states that he began practising hair transplantation in Baltimore, Maryland, in 1996 and later founded his own clinic in Istanbul. It records ISHRS membership from 1997 and lists FUE, FUT, eyebrow, beard and moustache transplantation, scar revision and medical hair-loss management among his procedures.
The official ISHRS profile lists him as a Fellow Member and ABHRS Diplomate. The current ISHRS Fellows list independently retains his FISHRS designation, and ISHRS committee records document continuing education and workshop roles.
His academic and clinical records also include hair-restoration publications on beard construction and eyebrow transplantation published in 2002 and 2003. These articles are bibliographic evidence of longstanding surgical scholarship, not proof of current outcomes.
ISHRS publishes procedure-volume and experience figures in the physician's self-submitted profile. The directory treats those figures as provider-reported and does not convert them into a ranking or quality guarantee.

What do reviews of Kayıhan Şahinoğlu actually tell us?
Search results include the official clinic, ISHRS and ABHRS-related records, conference material and multiple patient discussions. Individual reports describe one-patient-per-day care and different experiences, but they do not independently audit every current procedure.
