Dr. Mehmet Demircioglu and Diamond Hair Clinic in The Walrus
Scores of Men Are Travelling to Istanbul for Hair Transplants. Is It Worth It?
Diamond Hair Clinic did not pay for or sponsor this coverage.
The Walrus follows Tyler J. McInnes, our patient from Canada, who travelled to Istanbul for a hair transplant at Diamond Hair Clinic in September 2025. Andrew Seale’s report describes his consultation with Dr. Mehmet Demircioglu, hairline planning, surgery and recovery.
Tyler says his trust in Dr. Mehmet Demircioglu grew during their consultation. When he asked for 500 more grafts, Dr. Mehmet Demircioglu advised against adding them because of how they would look. The report follows Tyler’s recovery too, including his first haircut six months after surgery.
Dr. Mehmet Demircioglu’s perspective
My advice to Tyler also reflected a conservative approach to his donor area. I wanted to preserve donor capacity in case his hair loss progresses and he considers another procedure in the future.
