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
- ✓IAHRS – Member
- ✓World FUE Institute – 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.
Biography and Medical Education
Dr. Koray Erdoğan is the founder and medical director of ASMED Surgical Medical Center in Istanbul. His public professional record describes more than two decades in hair restoration, a transition to FUE surgery, and a technique-development and education role in the field.
Erdoğan graduated from Hacettepe University Faculty of Medicine in 1994. The reviewed professional biography says he later worked at Marmara University Department of Thoracic Surgery; it does not document a completed Turkish thoracic-surgery residency, so this directory uses General Practitioner as the formal medical-specialty category.
He entered hair restoration in 2000, established ASMED in 2001 and began using FUE in 2004. The association biography says he later focused exclusively on FUE and developed a sequential manual extraction approach intended to balance donor-area planning, extraction homogenisation and long-term coverage.
His published work also describes the Coverage Value planning concept, the K.E.E.P. graft-placement instrument and the KE-BOT/KE-Hair Analyzer tools. These are recorded as professional and technical contributions described by ASMED and IAHRS, not as independently audited clinical outcome claims.
In 2016 he co-founded the World FUE Institute and subsequently held leadership roles there. The IAHRS profile identifies him as an IAHRS member and lists ASMED's Ataşehir surgical medical centre as his current practice. The directory does not infer personal performance of each operative stage from a technique description alone.
Education and career chronology
Current practice and evidence context
The reviewed material establishes an FUE-focused practice and medical-director role, but it does not reliably attribute hairline design, channel opening, extraction or implantation to Erdoğan personally in every case. Supervision is therefore the only verified involvement stage.
Operating Model
Erdoğan founded ASMED and is presented as its medical director and principal hair-restoration physician. The organisation is a specialist surgical centre rather than a single-room solo practice, and its own biography refers to a wider physician team.
This profile therefore treats ASMED as physician-led while leaving the patient-level division of labour open. A prospective patient should request the named operator for hairline design, extraction, recipient-site creation and implantation for the selected package and date.
This is an operating-model classification, not a quality ranking, safety guarantee or recommendation. The actual team can vary by date, package and patient.
Questions About This Doctor
Is Koray Erdoğan a formally trained hair-transplant specialist?
Hair transplantation is recorded as his field of practice, not as a Turkish residency specialty. The reviewed biography confirms a Hacettepe medical degree and later work in a thoracic-surgery department, but not completion of that residency.
Does Koray Erdoğan personally perform the whole operation?
The official ASMED biography describes him as exclusively performing FUE at ASMED, together with other physicians. It does not provide a universal, stage-by-stage allocation for every package, so full personal performance is not stated as independently verified.
What is distinctive about the published professional record?
ASMED and IAHRS document a long FUE-focused career, the Sequential Technique, Coverage Value planning, instrument and analysis-system development, and leadership connected with the World FUE Institute.
What should a patient confirm before booking?
The name and professional status of the people expected to perform extraction, recipient-site creation and implantation, plus whether the arrangement changes by package.
Public Record and Discussion
We separate official records, provider claims and patient testimony. Discussion themes describe what is publicly documented; they are not findings of clinical fault or proof of treatment quality.
Doctor identity versus ASMED team
Public discussion often treats Erdoğan and ASMED as interchangeable. The evidence supports his founder and medical-director role, but the operator for each stage still needs case-specific confirmation.
Technique and innovation claims
The clinic and association profiles describe named techniques and devices. These are professional-history claims and are not used here as proof of comparative clinical outcomes.
Review scope last checked 29 August 2026. Anonymous reports are treated as testimony and are not converted into verified facts about a doctor or clinic.
