for three nights, flight yours to book — or $5,500 for five nights with the round-trip flight paid for inside the price
One flat package at Dr. Yetkin Bayer Clinics in Istanbul: the procedure, three nights of hotel, VIP transfers, and a coordinator you can call in your own time zone for the whole growth year. The clinic’s physicians decide what your case needs.
Real hair transplant results from the partner clinic.
Drag the handle across. These are shot at the angles that actually show hair loss, crown down and hairline front on, not the flattering three-quarter turn. Individual results vary, and yours depend on your donor area and your pattern.
4,900 grafts
Receded hairline and thinning through the front third, rebuilt to a full frame.
These two frames are about twelve months apart.
Case photographs supplied by the partner clinic. Individual results may vary. These images illustrate past cases and are not a prediction of your own outcome.
Two hair transplant packages. The difference is the flight.
The cheapest quote you find will be the one that told you least. So here is the whole list for both tiers, including the parts that cost extra.

One Istanbul clinic. Not a rotating list of whoever quoted lowest.
For hair, Astramedica works with a single partner: Dr. Yetkin Bayer Clinics in Kuruçeşme, Beşiktaş, Istanbul. We are their Official U.S. Patient Coordination Office in the United States, which means your case goes to one named team and stays there. Astramedica does not employ physicians and does not make clinical decisions.
If something worries you at month three, you call a US number, not an international one, and we take it back to the clinic. That is the part of a Turkey trip people most often find they are on their own for.

Questions people ask first
Public-source ranges put a hair transplant session in Turkey at roughly $2,000 to $5,000, compared with about $4,000 to $15,000 in the United States (ISHRS Practice Census, RealSelf, Bookimed, and Medigo). These are general industry averages for planning only — not a quote. Astramedica coordinates two packages: $3,500 covers the procedure at the partner clinic, a 4–5 star hotel for three nights, VIP airport and clinic transfers, and US-based coordination and follow-up, with airfare excluded; $5,500 adds the round-trip flight booked for you and five nights instead of three. Your final price is confirmed by the partner surgeon after a consultation and case review, based on graft count and technique.
Standards vary by clinic, which is why verification matters. Before a clinic joins Astramedica's partner list, we review surgeon credentials, clinic licensing, equipment standards, and aftercare processes. Every medical decision — including candidacy and technique — stays with the independent partner surgeon.
No. Astramedica coordinates travel, timing, and communication. The procedure is performed by an independent licensed surgeon at the partner clinic, and all medical decisions stay with that surgeon.
We review surgeon credentials, clinic licensing, equipment standards, and aftercare processes before a clinic joins the partner list. You can read more on the Clinic Vetting Process page.
FUE and DHI are two common ways partner clinics place grafts. Which technique may suit you depends on your hair-loss pattern, donor area, and the surgeon's assessment.
Many patients stay about 4 to 5 nights, but the exact plan depends on the clinic's schedule, your procedure timing, and what the surgeon wants to monitor after the session.
Results vary from person to person. Astramedica handles the travel and planning; the partner surgeon performs the procedure and makes all medical decisions.
Nine photographs, taken on your phone.
That is the entire first step. The partner medical team reads your hair-loss pattern, hairline, crown, and donor density from them, and comes back with a graft estimate and a plan. No clinic visit, no cost, no obligation to book anything afterwards.
