Notable

A board-certified plastic and reconstructive surgeon (Marmara University medical degree; specialty training at Akdeniz University) who has worked exclusively in FUE since 2009. One of his Google reviews is written by a practising plastic surgeon in Dubai who chose him as a peer — a form of professional endorsement that is hard to manufacture.

Sources & verification

Compiled into the 2026-08-14 dataset build. No separate re-verification date is recorded for this clinic. Placed by verification, never by payment.

Editorial note: VERIFIED. ISHRS profile 51520 fetched and resolves as 'Ilhan Serdaroglu, MD | Hair Surgeon | Istanbul, Turkey'. Site live (HTTP 200). Plastic-surgery specialty and society memberships are consistent between the ISHRS record and the clinic site. Reddit cross-check found patient posts referencing him in a results context (including a '6-Month Results with Dr. Ilhan Serdaroglu (Istanbul)' post), adding a third independent surface without contradicting anything in the entry. Two important handling notes retained: (1) there are TWO Google Business listings at the same address (4.8 from 236 and 4.7 from 143) — these are reported SEPARATELY and must never be summed, because split listings inflate apparent review volume; (2) neither the site nor the ISHRS record states whether Dr. Serdaroğlu personally performs extraction and implantation or delegates to technicians, so NO surgeon-performed claim is asserted on his behalf — the silence is reported as silence. One older 1-star review concerns a hotel-booking logistics failure rather than a clinical outcome and is labelled as such. No price published.
