Surgeon — named
FLAGGED
with a caveat Measured · 82%
M1 · Facility & health-tourism licence 1 · 20%
UNVERIFIED No MoH or USHAŞ certificate is shown for this clinic, and JCI/ISO appear only in generic market-comparison copy about the whole Turkish market rather than audited to Sapphire, so accreditation disclosure is effectively absent. source ↗
M2 · Operating surgeon named + verifiable 4 · 22%
UNVERIFIED Dr. Büşra Yakupoğlu, MD is named (Çanakkale Onsekiz Mart University, 2014–2020), but no ISHRS or ABHRS match was found, so who operates is named yet not directory-confirmed. source ↗
M3 · Technique disclosure 4 · 10%
UNVERIFIED FUE, DHI, Sapphire FUE, Manual FUE, Stem Cell and FUT are described with single-crystal sapphire-blade and micromotor detail, keeping method disclosure high but below top for lack of a role map. source ↗
M4 · Claim / graft honesty 3 · 14%
UNVERIFIED No 'unlimited', '100%' or guaranteed-graft claims, but a '96% success rate' and an aggressive '5,000 graft costs USD 2,250' headline hold the score at mid-band. source ↗
M5 · Price transparency 5 · 8%
UNVERIFIED Prices are published — 3,000 grafts $1,500–3,500, a '5,000 graft USD 2,250' and Sapphire FUE $1,900–2,000, all-inclusive — giving full price transparency. source ↗
M6 · Aftercare & revision policy 2 · 8%
UNVERIFIED It claims aftercare and a 'two-year' guarantee, but no formal written revision or warranty document was located and revision is only hinted at in a testimonial, pulling the score low. source ↗ · provisional
Editorial · 18%
E1 · Professional corroboration 2 · 6%
UNVERIFIED editorial — No ISHRS, ABHRS, IAHRS or FUE-Europe standing is disclosed and there is no directory match, so society corroboration is low. source ↗
E2 · International-patient path 3 · 6%
UNVERIFIED editorial — Multilingual staff and interpreters, WhatsApp/video consult, transfer and hotel are offered, but there is no written consent or structured remote follow-up, holding it at mid-band. source ↗
E3 · Operator transparency 2 · 6%
UNVERIFIED editorial — The address is an office tower (Quasar/Fairmont, Fulya) rather than a hospital, with no legal entity or registration, and the same surgeon (Dr. Yakupoğlu) and street address (Büyükdere Cd. No:76) also appear under MedArt Hair — a shared surgeon and address across two brands, not disclosed as related — holding the score low. source ↗

What this register does NOT measure We do not rate the result of a transplant, a surgeon's skill, graft survival, complications or "who's better". We verify structural facts: the health-tourism authorization, the operating surgeon, the technique, the claims, the prices, the aftercare — and where something is unconfirmed, we say so.
