Sex reassignment surgery in Dr. Cinik Hair Hospital

Dr. Cinik Hair Hospital is a private facility specializing in hair restoration and aesthetic surgery. Dr. Emrah Cinik established it in 2002. The hospital now operates four branches across Istanbul and London. Its flagship clinic is in Istanbul's Beşiktaş district. A medical team of 280 staff members manages high-volume patient care.

Accreditations and Achievements

The hospital holds several international quality certifications. It has JCI (Joint Commission International) accreditation – a global gold standard for healthcare quality. Organizations such as ISAPS, ASPS, and AAAHC also recognize the facility. Its ISO 9001 certification covers quality management systems. Since opening, the clinic has treated over 50,000 patients from more than 80 countries.

Hair Restoration and Alopecia Treatment

The hair restoration department treats various forms of hair loss, including androgenetic alopecia and alopecia areata. Specialists use trichoscopy – a handheld dermoscopy device – to magnify the scalp up to 100x for precise diagnosis. When active shedding is suspected, surgeons perform a Hair Pull Test to measure severity.

The clinic offers several hair transplant methods and non-surgical therapies:

• Sapphire FUE: Surgeons use sapphire blades for graft extraction to minimize tissue trauma.
• DHI (Direct Hair Implantation): Grafts are placed without pre-opened canals.
• Manual FUE: A surgeon extracts grafts by hand using handheld tools.
• Mesotherapy: Vitamins and minerals are injected into the scalp to stimulate growth.
• Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT): Red light devices aim to improve hair density non-surgically.

Dr. Emrah Cinik leads the department. He has over 15 years of experience in hair restoration and hairline design.

Plastic Surgery and Body Contouring

The surgical department provides aesthetic interventions for the face and body. Specialists perform 35 different procedures in hybrid operating rooms equipped for complex cosmetic surgeries.

Available surgical and aesthetic options include:

• Rhinoplasty: Standard nose jobs, tip-only corrections, and Asian rhinoplasty techniques.
• Liposuction: Traditional suction methods and VASER liposuction using ultrasound.
• Gynecomastia Correction: Male breast reduction using liposuction, excision, or both.
• Facelifts: Traditional lifting, Mini Facelifts with short scars, and One-Stitch Facelifts.
• Body Lifting: Full body lifts, tummy tucks, and mommy makeover packages.

Most liposuction patients return to light activity within two weeks.

Technology and Diagnostics

The clinic uses specialized equipment for diagnostic assessment and surgical procedures. During VASER liposuction, surgeons use ultrasound probes to liquefy fat before extraction. For hair restoration, the hospital provides red light helmets and combs for LLLT treatments. These technologies are built into personalized treatment plans created during the initial consultation.
