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.

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. Kaan Pekiner is an Ankara hair-restoration physician and ISHRS Full Member whose public chronology records Gülhane Military Medical Academy graduation in 2006, military service and a later manual-FUE practice.
Kaan Pekiner was born in Ankara in 1982 and completed primary and secondary education in the city. He graduated from Gülhane Military Medical Academy Faculty of Medicine in 2006. No separate Turkish residency specialty is verified in the reviewed record, so the formal specialty field remains General Practitioner.
After graduation, a published biography records service as a military physician in the Turkish Armed Forces until 2009. He then redirected his career toward hair restoration and developed practical experience in Turkish hair-transplant clinics, with particular attention to manual FUE.
A secondary professional biography places him as an assistant in Dr. Keser's clinic around 2010–2011 and as an operative surgeon at HairLine Clinic in Ankara from 2011. Some later wording in that same source gives a contradictory clinic-opening year, so the directory does not use that date without stronger corroboration.
Pekiner's current Ankara practice is associated with physician-led manual FUE, dense packing, body-hair transplantation and repair work. The official ISHRS directory lists body-hair transplantation, eyebrow work, FUE and scar revision among his procedures. Those directory entries establish areas of practice but do not by themselves describe the exact operator for every stage of every case.
The official ISHRS profile lists Pekiner as a Full Member, records a 2016 join year and shows attendance at multiple World Congresses. A 2016 conference presentation on manual FUE is also reported. Membership is displayed from the official directory; conference speaking and procedure listings remain separate professional-record items.
Education and career chronology
Current practice and evidence context
Pekiner's record establishes military medical education, later manual-FUE practice and official ISHRS membership. Procedure listings identify areas of work but do not automatically verify each personal operative stage in every case.
- Credential membershipISHRS Full Member; official directory records join year 2016.
- ISHRS procedure recordBody hair transplantation, eyebrows, FUE and scar revision are listed by the official member profile.
- Evidence conflictA secondary biography contains an internally inconsistent clinic-opening year; the date is not published as confirmed.
Operating Model
Pekiner's public record is associated with an Ankara practice centred on manual FUE, body-hair transplantation and repair work. The ISHRS directory lists him as a Full Member and names PHR Clinic as the current web destination.
Patient reports describe multi-day, low-volume procedures with extensive doctor participation, but individual accounts are not a clinic-wide operating policy. The exact division of work should be confirmed in writing for the proposed procedure.
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
What is Kaan Pekiner's formal medical specialty?
The reviewed record confirms graduation from Gülhane Military Medical Academy in 2006. No separate completed residency specialty is published, so the directory records General Practitioner.
Is Kaan Pekiner an ISHRS member?
Yes. The current ISHRS profile lists him as a Full Member, with a join year of 2016.
Does he personally extract and implant grafts?
Several detailed patient reports say that he personally performed most or all of these stages, sometimes with another physician assisting. Because the current official profile does not state a universal workflow, this remains patient-reported.
What is the most important booking question?
Ask whether Pekiner, another physician or an assistant will perform each session of extraction and implantation, and obtain the answer for every planned treatment day.
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.
Hands-on reputation
The strongest public theme is direct physician involvement and multi-day work. Reports differ on whether another physician assists with parts of extraction, making case-specific confirmation important.
Clinic chronology
Secondary biographies contain inconsistent dates for the development of the current practice. Those disputed dates are excluded from the confirmed timeline.
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.
