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
- ✓ESHRS – 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
Melike Külahçı is currently recorded as a Anesthesiology & Reanimation associated with Transmed Hair and Cosmetic Surgery Clinic in İstanbul. The stages presently supported by the evidence record are Supervision. Hairline Design, Channel Opening, Extraction and Implantation remain not yet verified.
This classification applies only to the evidence reviewed for this profile. A clinic may change teams, packages and responsibilities over time, so a prospective patient should obtain the operator for every stage in writing for the proposed treatment 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.
Biography and Medical Education
Specialist Dr. Melike Külahçı is an anesthesiology and reanimation specialist, founder and medical director of Transmed, and a long-standing hair-restoration physician with documented leadership roles in ISHRS and ESHRS.
Transmed's current physician page states that Külahçı graduated from Istanbul University Cerrahpaşa Faculty of Medicine in 1987 and later completed Anesthesiology and Reanimation specialist training at the same university. An older ISHRS profile lists 1984 instead; the directory uses the current first-party graduation year while recording the discrepancy for editorial review.
She undertook clinical work at the University of Erlangen and later in German hair-surgery clinics before returning to Turkey. In 1994 she founded Transmed Hair and Cosmetic Surgery Clinic in Istanbul.
Her official profile reports approximately 10,000 hair-transplant operations, extensive physician and nurse training, more than 100 conference appearances and research awards. These scale statements are provider-reported unless separately corroborated.
