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
No accepted hair-restoration credential membership has yet been verified for this profile.
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
Op. Dr. Selahattin Tulunay is an Istanbul Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery specialist whose public biography traces medical education from 1974–1981, specialist training from 1982–1987/88 and a long surgical career that includes hair transplantation.
Selahattin Tulunay entered Istanbul University Istanbul Faculty of Medicine in the 1974–1975 academic year and graduated as a physician in 1981. In 1982 he entered Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery training at Istanbul University Cerrahpaşa Faculty of Medicine.
His personal biography says he received the specialist title in November 1987, while a current clinic biography summarizes the training period as 1982–1988. The profile preserves the more precise November 1987 date and notes the one-year summary difference rather than treating the sources as identical.
Tulunay began military service at Gülhane Military Medical Academy in 1988. Later provider material describes senior hospital roles, including seven years as a chief physician and direction of plastic and reconstructive surgery across several hospitals, but does not provide a complete institution-by-institution chronology.
His current service record includes hair transplantation as well as broader plastic surgery. A clinic profile places him in a medical-director and surgical-supervisor role for hair-transplant operations. Provider claims of more than 40 years' experience, operation totals and success rates are not used as independently verified performance measures.
