Intro
Dr. Ziya Yavuz’s clinic is located at Renewa Clinic in Kadikoy. He performs hair transplant surgeries within the Acibadem Hospital Kadikoy in Istanbul.
Dr. Yavuz sometimes holds meetings in his partner clinic in London (Jeunvie Health and Wellbeing Clinic) to meet with hair transplant candidates, which is very convenient for candidates thinking about flying to Istanbul to get a hair transplant.
Most people learn about him through the BBC’s documentary about hair transplants in Istanbul. If you have time, you may take a look.
✅ What Patients Often Say They Liked:

Pre-Surgery, Consultation and Booking: 4/5
Scalp condition improved with pre-op instructions for the best result.
1-1 online consultation with the doctor is available.
Detailed hair loss and transplant report provided. (+)
English-speaking customer success and sales specialists available.
Detailed information of phases provided.
There are 2 blog articles titled “Guide to Preparing for a Hair Transplant Surgery” and “Before Hair Transplant Operation” on his website, consisting of generic advice for hair transplant candidates. Therefore, we found a little information regarding pre-op instructions on Dr. Ziya Yavuz’s website.
What we mean by “Scalp Condition Improvement” is that a doctor analyzes your scalp and gives you recommendations to prepare your scalp for the best result possible. For example, we know cases where scalp microneedling before hair transplant solves the issue of “scalp fibrosis due to the lack of hair” and “weak microcirculation”.
During your free consultation in London, you can meet with Dr. Yavuz himself (according to the promise of the clinic), and he will examine your scalp and hair loss. Then you are quoted, and the booking process starts.
Starting the pre-surgery process with Dr. Ziya Yavuz’s hair transplant clinics is very straightforward. You can also get a detailed analysis of your hair loss and transplantation procedures through an interactive tool, but it doesn’t include the expert perspective.
There are English-speaking sales specialists available, too. So international patients will have no problem communicating their needs during the booking process.
There isn’t any specific information on their website regarding the steps of the surgeries, etc. Also, hair transplant surgeries at Dr. Ziya Yavuz Clinic don’t seem to provide any instruction for scalp conditioning pre-and post-op.
Facilities, Services, and Accommodation: 4/5
Transfers are done with a VIP van.
5- star International Hotels included.
3-night accommodation included.
Operation rooms in hospitals/clinics are top-notch.
The hotel and clinic are in the central location.
The clinic picks you up from the airport and handles all transfers in Istanbul with VIP vehicles.
The basic FUE package only includes 2-night accommodation in a 5-star Hotel Hilton. We think a patient needs a rest day after a hair transplant to recover faster. And most Turkish clinics provide it by default.
The patients get their hair transplants in a large hospital with high-end facilities. So, you should expect comfort and attentive staff throughout the whole process. Acibadem Hospital is a branch of one of Turkey’s largest hospital chains and is accredited by the Joint Commission International (JCI). It is equipped with cutting-edge technology equipment.
The hospital, Dr. Ziya Yavuz Hair Clinic, is located in the Acibadem Hospital in Kadikoy.
Acibadem Hospital, chosen for Dr. Ziya Yavuz for hair transplantation, is only 36km from Sabiha Gokcen Airport (SAW) and 57km from Istanbul Airport (IST). In addition, his clinic is 32km from Sabiha Gokcen Airport (SAW) and 60km from Istanbul Airport (IST).
Physicians and Staff: 4/5
A dermatologist or plastic surgeon is available.
An anesthesiologist for sedation is available.
The surgeon has done over 1000 hair transplants.
3 or more technicians/nurses are part of the operational team.
English-speaking physicians and staff.
Dr. Ziya Yavuz is a medical aesthetic specialist. Our PSR framework requires the surgeon to be either a dermatologist or a plastic surgeon since they specialize in hair transplant surgeries.
However, he has over 18 years of experience in hair transplantation and has conducted over 1000 surgeries, making him a good choice for hair transplantation.
Dr. Yavuz and his team are medical professionals who are very attentive to patients. Most online reviews praise the staff and Dr. Yavuz’s expertise, which potential patients should take into account.
Sedation done by an anesthesiologist is an option, which may cost extra. However, sedation will make your surgery much more comfortable.

Surgery Methods and Doctor Involvement: 3/5
A doctor performs & supervises all operations.
Bio-enhancements are used for harvested graft preservation.
Only one patient a day accepted / No simultaneous operations.
Needle-free local anesthesia and sedation are available.
Laser-assisted hairline drawing and telogen/miniaturization check.
Medical agency websites indicate that Dr. Yavuz either operates or supervises every stage of the hair transplant procedure.
However, in other sources, we see that Dr. Ziya Yavuz only performs pre-op consultation and draws the hairline.
Since we follow ISHRS hair transplant guidelines, we believe the doctor should perform surgical parts. You can ask the clinic to ensure Dr. Yavuz performs the surgical parts.
Dr. Ziya Yavuz’s hair clinic offers three hair transplant techniques: Sapphire FUE, regular FUE with lateral slit, and DHI. He doesn’t employ Artas Robotic Hair Transplant or FUT techniques.
In each hair restoration package of the clinic, needle-free dermojet local anesthesia is standard, and no extra fee is charged.
However, the clinic doesn’t seem to be utilizing bio-enhancements such as ACell, HypoThermosol, or ATPv, which can be considered a downside compared to other clinics.
According to some patient experiences online, he accepts multiple patients a day and performs simultaneous operations.
Post-Surgery, Instructions and Aftercare: 4/5
Regular post-op doctor consultations are provided.
Re-operation guarantee or lifetime warranty available.
Online post-op instructions are easily accessible.
Post-op ATPv spray provided for increased graft survival.
Medications and shampoos are available.
The day after the surgery, bandages are removed, and Dr. Yavuz examines the patient after the first hair wash. From now on, the clinic reaches out to patients to ask for photos to monitor the healing process.
Dr. Yavuz provides patients with the guarantee certificate, meaning that he stands behind in his work, and if any complication occurs, he’ll handle it.
The clinic’s website includes brief content about post-op hair transplant instructions. It does not have many details, but it is ok since the patient is educated about post-op instructions after the first hair wash.
Online Reviews: 4/5
The clinic has over 500+ online reviews.
Negative reviews are positively handled.
Independent review website ratings 4.5+.
Video testimonials of actual patients are available.
High satisfaction rate.
| Website | Trustpilot Reviews | Google Reviews | Realself Reviews |

Firstly, Dr. Ziya Yavuz’s Hair Clinic profile on Trustpilot is unclaimed, meaning the company hasn’t claimed their Trustpilot profile and might not know it exists. However, there are 2 patient reviews there.
Other than that, the clinic’s total number of reviews from different platforms isn’t more than 400. The reviews are overwhelmingly positive, and ex-patients have a high satisfaction rate. They also have a testimonial and clinic discovery video that the BBC shot.
✅ Some of the good Ziya Yavuz Clinic reviews are as follows:
I was referred by an agency to Dr. Yavuz’s Clinic for a hair transplant. I had a great experience there with him and his team, and a year to the day since I had the procedure, my hair is back better than ever.
From the moment I entered the clinic I was greeted by a lovely lady that explained everything, I then met the Doctor and he talked me through everything that would happen in the procedure. I then met the technicians who were also nice and caring.
The procedure itself was (mostly) painless, and the next day I was given all the information I needed about aftercare as well as the products that were included.
After I returned home the clinic was always quick to respond to any questions I had during the growth phase, and this was really important to me and helped me to feel at ease.
Overall it was a fantastic experience that I am grateful for, and I would recommend Dr Yavuz and his team to anyone looking for a transplant.
Kieran O – Google Review – May 2026 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Dr. Yavuz is fantastic, as many others have said in their reviews his clinic is top-notch. His assistant, aside from being super helpful and incredibly responsive (answers at 5am her time!), she has a great sense of humor, and that kind of helps give the whole clinic a really good vibe, which also makes the process so much less taxing on the nerves. My consultation was insightful and useful. The doctor advised options for both conservative treatment and operation. While I decided to cancel the operation last minute (my bad), the team was very understanding and I can say with confidence that I’d definitely go back again and probably will plan another trip in a few months after I see the results of the conservative treatment which he prescribed. I highly recommend Dr. Yavuz and his clinic!
Vai – Google Review – 2025 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I only have great things to say about Dr Yavuz and his team.
Spencer H. – Google Review – 2026 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Amazing service and advice .
Thoroughly professional and efficient and of course it’s important to say how happy I am with the results
Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend
❌ Some of the bad Ziya Yavuz Clinic reviews are as follows:
The transplanted hair didn’t take root properly either, only growing weakly in a small area of my head. A second operation is unfortunately not possible because there is no suitable hair left in my donor area. I would never recommend going to this clinic; you can find many hair transplant centers where you can get “real” results and avoid suffering for the same price. These types of clinics steal people’s hopes and health for the sake of profit, so I advise you to stay away from such commercial establishments for your own health.
Berat C – Google Review – April 2026 ⭐️
Hair transplant surgeons chattering and giggling throughout the operation. The result: A battered donor area.
Kai L. – Google Review – December 2025 ⭐️
Joke of a company… I didn’t even bother to go past the admin side. Lack of response to my questions, take forever to answer questions and simply leave u feeling frustrated. I’ve since found another much more professional clinic. Hope Dr Yavuz knows how useless his admin team are!!! All I got was this is the price do you want to book. Nothing about how many grafts I’d need, what would be best for me etc!!!
Willie – Google Review – 2024 ⭐️
Before and After Photos: 3/5
Before/After photos available.
Natural-looking results (especially hairline).
Graft survival over 90-95%.
No overharvesting.
The surgery technique is indicated.
Dr. Yavuz’s website has a dedicated page for before-and-after photos, but it surely lacks content. It only shows a couple of patients’ results, and there is no information regarding the used hair transplant technique or graft count.
The clinic has more before and after photos on Instagram. What we like about the clinic’s Instagram page is that it shares good results along with mediocre results, and most clinics only share good results.
The results seem natural. The clinic saves donor hairs for future hair transplants. Keeping precious donors is important since Androgenic Alopecia is a progressive condition; DHT sensitive hairs would continue falling.
Conclusion
Dr. Ziya Yavuz Rating
Dr. Yavuz’s hair transplant is affordable compared to hair transplants in Europe, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
We expect the clinic to show its prices and package details on its official platforms. However, Dr. Yavuz does not share them; if he follows the transparency trend and puts them on the official website, our rating increases.
A pre-op meeting with the doctor and his involvement in the hair restoration surgery is a big plus for the clinic. Most hair mills let technicians handle the job.
In the BBC documentary about Dr. Yavuz’s hair transplant, we get an objective view of the clinic’s procedures. It’s a very reliable source and shows how trustworthy the clinic is.
Online reviews and natural-looking & unfiltered before-and-after photos are pretty promising. Even though some results are moderate, it is normal. You can’t get a good result from each patient. Sharing every kind of result online improved our trust in the clinic.
Our objective rating for the clinic is 3.6/5.0 according to our Price-Service-Result (PSR) framework.
