Early life and career
Erdogan was born in the province of Gemlik in Bursa, to Abdullah, a lawyer, and Nuray, a housewife. Erdogan attended Hacettepe University in 1988, receiving his medical degree from the Faculty of Medicine in 1994. After completing his qualifications from Hacettepe University, he went on to Kastamonu to complete his obligatory medical service.
After he completed his service, he started to work as an assistant in the Department of Thoracic Surgery at Marmara University. Following this, he became a member of the Acibadem Hospital Group, working in the Intensive Care Unit.
In 2000, Erdogan began to develop his skills in the field of hair restoration in private medical clinics. In 2001, he founded his own hair transplantation clinic, and continued to do research and work in this field. In 2004, he developed his own technique for Follicular Unit Extraction.
Erdogan still continues work in this field at his own clinic ASMED in Istanbul, Turkey.
Sequential Technique in FUE
Through the FUE hair transplant technique developed by Erdogan, individual follicles are extracted one by one, and then transferred directly to the recipient area individually under local anesthesia.
During the surgical procedure, the individual hair follicles are extracted directly from the donor area using tiny punches. They are then quality checked, and immediately placed in micro-sized slits within the recipient (balding) area, resulting in less damage to the scalp, and less scarring. The technique also shortens the time of transfer of the grafts from the donor area to the recipient area, thereby protecting the integrity of the graft.
Graft Calculator
Graft Calculator is an application that provides the opportunity to calculate and help identify the areas where more hair is required. As a result, the surgeon can obtain better coverage, and create a more homogeneous look.
It also helps the medical staff in estimating how many grafts a patient will needs for their procedure, and the approximate cost.
Workshops and meetings
Erdogan was host to one of the largest international scientific FUE meetings in the world in Istanbul. Other events, conferences and seminars attended are listed below:
