About
With over a decade of experience in surgical hair restoration, Dr. Ahmed Altan is recognized as one of the new-generation leaders in MicroFUE — an advanced form of follicular unit extraction utilizing a 0.7mm punch for exceptional precision and minimal scarring.
Based at Aestepool Clinic in Istanbul, Türkiye, Dr. Altan has earned a reputation for combining cutting-edge technique with artistic hairline design and individualized treatment planning.
Dr. Altan believes that every patient deserves a personalized, natural, and undetectable result. Each procedure begins with an in-depth consultation where he designs a bespoke hairline tailored to the patient’s unique facial proportions, hair characteristics, and expectations. His meticulous approach ensures that even close observers cannot distinguish a transplanted hairline from a naturally occurring one.
To maintain the highest standards, Dr. Altan performs no more than two procedures per day, allowing him to devote maximum attention to each patient. During surgery, he personally opens all recipient sites (channels), ensuring optimal angle, direction, and density for natural growth. His trained, in-house team—personally educated by Dr. Altan—assists with extraction and implantation under his direct supervision.
Dr. Altan’s expertise extends beyond primary hair restoration. He is highly skilled in reconstructive procedures for patients who have experienced poor results from previous transplants, skillfully rebuilding natural hairlines and improving overall density.
He routinely performs dense packing procedures of up to 4,000 grafts per session and, where donor availability and scalp circulation allow, achieves implantation densities of 65–70 follicular units per cm².
For Dr. Altan, hair restoration is not merely a medical procedure—it is an art form. His mission is to deliver world-class results that restore both hair and confidence, setting a new benchmark for the future of hair restoration surgery.
