Throughout his career, Dr. Serdaroglu has emphasized the importance of ethical values, setting him apart from commercialized healthcare institutions.

Since 2003, Dr. Serdaroglu has been performing hair transplantation operations, with a special emphasis on the Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) method. He is one of the pioneering figures in Turkey for this technique, inspiring many other surgeons across Istanbul. His motivation to specialize in hair transplantation stemmed from observing the psychological and physical trauma caused by hair loss, particularly in men.

An active participant in the global medical community, Dr. Serdaroglu has been invited to numerous international and national seminars and congresses organized by the Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Association.

Dr. Serdaroglu has also been a speaker at major international congresses, including those in Rio de Janeiro in 2014, Kyoto in 2016, and Miami in 2018. These congresses were organized by the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, further testament to his influential role in the field.

Doctor Serdaroglu was also invited to speak at the 50th ISAPS Congress on his 17 years of experience in hair restoration surgery using the FUE Technique, demonstrating his commitment to knowledge sharing in the aesthetic and plastic surgery community.

Looking forward, Dr. Serdaroglu plans to continue sharing his wealth of experiences on hair transplant surgery at national and international congresses, contributing to the progression of the field and enriching the practice of his fellow surgeons.
