Erkam Caymaz

  • 14 years of experience
  • 5378+ treatments performed
  • Turkey, Istanbul, Dr. Erkam Caymaz's Hair Upload Clinic
  • "I graduated from medical school in 2010 and specialized in cardiovascular surgery. My training was built on microvascular anastomoses—suturing blood vessels under a microscope where a 0.1-millimeter error could end a life. I loved the discipline. I loved the pressure. But I slowly noticed something that unsettled me: in the chaos of emergency surgery and intensive care, the patient rarely remembers your face. You save their life, but you are a ghost in their survival story.

    In 2012, a 31-year-old man was recovering in my ICU after a successful valve replacement. His vitals were stable, but his heart rate refused to settle. The nurses said he would not look in the mirror. He had lost his hair years earlier, and the hospital gown made him feel stripped of his identity. One morning, I sat beside him and asked what was wrong. He said, 'Doctor, you fixed my heart. But when I go home, my daughter will still ask why Daddy looks sick.'

    That night, I studied his chart again. Tachycardia with no cardiac cause. It was shame. Pure, physical shame. I referred him to a dermatologist for a hair system temporarily, and within a week, his heart rate normalized. His cardiologist colleague laughed at me. 'You are a heart surgeon. You are worried about hair?' I told him: 'His heart was beating 120 times per minute because of a mirror. I fixed the valve. Someone else needs to fix the mirror.' Read more..

    Our Protocols
    1. Dual-Hand Harmony Protocol™

    The Concept: Technical Precision for Natural Flow. Description: "Nature is not perfectly symmetrical, but it is perfectly balanced. Single-handed surgeons often struggle with the 'opposite side,' leading to inconsistent hair angles. Dr. Caymaz uses his ambidextrous mastery to adapt to the natural curve of your head using both hands. The result is not an artificial mirror image, but a consistent, natural flow where every hair grows in perfect harmony with your unique features."

    ⚠️ Exclusively available in the VIP Packages.

    2. The Architect Touch™

    The Concept: Dr. Caymaz Designs, The Team Builds. Description: "The most critical step of a hair transplant is the 'Channel Opening'—it determines the angle, density, and direction of your future hair. In this protocol, Dr. Caymaz personally acts as the Architect of your surgery. He opens every single channel himself to guarantee a masterpiece, leaving only the placement to his expert specialists."

    ⚠️ Reserved for VIP Elite Patients only.

    3. Solo Focus 1/2™

    The Concept: Undivided Attention, Peak Performance. Description: "We reject the 'factory line' approach. To ensure peak cognitive and physical precision, Dr. Caymaz accepts a maximum of one VIP operation per day. This protocol guarantees that your surgery is never rushed and you receive the doctor’s undivided energy, focus, and artistic dedication from start to finish."

    ⚠️ Limited Availability: Only 2 slots per day via Private Booking.
