Estecenter Clinic, Istanbul, Turkey ๐ฅ
Estecenter Clinic (Estecenter Plastik Cerrahi Merkezi) is a cosmetic surgery and hair transplant centre located in the Fulya district of ลiลli, Istanbul. Founded by ฤฐbrahim รevik, it has been operating since 2000 and offers DHI and FUE hair transplants, plastic surgery and aesthetic medicine.
The centre claims more than 25,000 hair transplants since 2000.[1] In 2020, it occupied around 1,500 mยฒ with two operating theatres equipped for general anaesthesia, six rooms, ten hair transplant units and about a hundred employees.[2]
Estecenter is headed by ฤฐbrahim รevik, founder, chairman of the board and medical director of the centre.[1][3] The official website also presents two plastic surgeons:
Dr ฤฐrfan Aydฤฑn – plastic and reconstructive surgeon, graduate of Marmara University Faculty of Medicine, specialised at Istanbul University, founding member and former president of the Hair Transplant and Surgery Association[4]
Op. Dr Erkan Yรผce – plastic, reconstructive and aesthetic surgeon, graduate of Hacettepe University, specialised in body contouring: liposuction, abdominoplasty, buttocks and breasts[5]
The official website is available in Turkish, English, German and Arabic. It does not advertise any French-speaking staff.[8]
Who is ฤฐbrahim รevik?
ฤฐbrahim รevik founded Estecenter and chairs its board of directors. The official website presents him as medical director and states that he has undergone several international training programmes, particularly in Europe.[1]
In the Turkish business press, he describes Estecenter as a centre focused on health tourism, receiving foreign patients for hair transplants and cosmetic surgery.[3]
๐ผ Areas of expertise
Estecenter’s official website classifies its treatments into three families: hair transplants, plastic surgery and aesthetic medicine.[6]
Hair transplant: DHI, FUE, beard and eyebrow transplants, hair mesotherapy
Facial surgery: facelift, blepharoplasty, otoplasty, rhinoplasty, chin surgery
Breast and body surgery: breast augmentation, liposuction, fat transfer, gynaecomastia, mommy makeover, BBL
Estecenter practises two hair transplant techniques.[6] In FUE, the surgeon extracts follicles one by one from the donor area, opens channels in the balding area, then implants the grafts. In DHI, the grafts are implanted using an implanter pen, without opening channels beforehand.
The centre also performs beard and eyebrow transplants, as well as hair mesotherapy sessions.[6]
The official website does not publish fixed prices: the cost depends on the number of grafts, the technique and each patient’s case.[7]
An FUE hair transplant takes place in three stages:
Extraction of grafts
Opening hair channels
Implantation of grafts
A stay for a hair transplant in Istanbul generally lasts three days:
Day 1: consultation and scalp analysis
Day 2: hair transplant
Day 3: check-up and first wash
Packages and accommodation
The official website does not detail the contents of packages (accommodation, transfers, hotel nights). These elements vary depending on the procedure: ask for them in writing in your quote.
Good to know: make sure your quote specifies the number of grafts, the technique, the type of anaesthesia and what is included (hotel, transfers, post-operative care).
For accommodation, several hotels are located in the ลiลli district, including the one presented below.

0/5If you are black or people of color just donโt go there.I went there two years ago with 2 friends and it went quite well during the surgery.Then we followed the procedure very carefully and were discussing with one of their sales people called Youssef.We warned him early that we were concerned with the holes we saw in our heard. He was confident that after a year it would grow perfectly and the doctor would call us back.After a year, we tried to contact him again but he wasnt there anymore as for the results : catastrophic for us 3.The picture speaks for itself.Scam center
I got the worst transpant I've ever seen on the Internet. The density is very bad. There were three woman working on me at the same time. One side of my ''hair'' is standing like a cactus, the other looks normal (Im talking only about the front sides on the head. the top front looks like 3 hairs and i got pretty big gaps between my front and the rest of the hair. The woman that made me the ''cactus''-side was mad all the time (I think she wanted to go home - it was an 7hour transplant). I talked to another clinic and they told me, that they probably have thrown away my other grafts because my back doesnt look dense anymore.All in all i would NEVER recommend this clinic. I don't know how they have a 4,7 stars rating. It must be fake! Don't go there!!!

I'm Kevin, the founder of the site. My personal journey has made me understand how important it is to be well informed before a cosmetic, dental, hair or reproductive medicine procedure. Today I want to help those who are considering a medical trip, by offering them information on the procedures, their costs, preparation and post-operative follow-up. Although my articles are written with the greatest care, they in no way replace the personalized advice of a health professional. I invite you to discover my story to better understand my approach.
