Our Team
Founded by surgeons. Supported by a care team built for international patients.
A premium clinic should not hide the people who make the decisions. Our team pages are written to feel human and medically grounded at the same time.
Founder Spotlight
Dr. Selim Kaya
Co-Founder & Lead Hair Restoration Surgeon
Dr. Kaya co-founded Bosphorus Hair Studio in 2017 after a decade of working between reconstructive surgery and aesthetic hair restoration. He is known for conservative hairline architecture, disciplined donor management, and spending unusual amounts of time on pre-operative planning. Patients choose him when they want a result that looks calm, balanced, and believable for years, not weeks.
“A hair transplant should never be louder than the person wearing it.”
Founder Spotlight
Dr. Leyla Arslan
Co-Founder & Surgeon
Dr. Arslan brings a strong background in dermatologic diagnostics and a meticulous eye for texture, density, and front-facing aesthetics. She leads many of our female, eyebrow, and density refinement cases, and is especially valued by patients who want an empathetic yet medically rigorous consultation experience.
“The best work disappears into the patient’s features.”
Clinical Team
Additional surgeons and physicians.
The rest of the clinical team extends the founder philosophy into daily execution, diagnostics, anesthesia comfort, and patient communication.

Dr. Elif Yildiz
Dr. Yildiz is known for delicate frontal work, minimal-shave planning, and patient education. Her consultations are especially appreciated by first-time travellers who want a clear recovery roadmap.
Dr. Melis Tan

Dr. Kaan Oz
Dr. Oz supervises local anaesthesia comfort, medication safety, and patient monitoring during longer sessions.
Coordinators, nurses, translators, and aftercare staff are part of the outcome.
The clinic includes 80+ staff members, 15+ nurses, multilingual patient coordinators, and recovery support professionals who keep the medical journey clear after surgery day ends.
