$3,500
for three nights, flight yours to book — or $5,500 for five nights with the round-trip flight paid for inside the price
A flat package priced by 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 and two extra nights.
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.

Graft count, method, and whether you are a candidate at all are the partner physician’s call.
Hair transplant recovery, month by month.

Timings are typical, not promised. Growth rate varies by person.
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
Essential ($3,500) covers the procedure at Dr. Yetkin Bayer Clinics, a 4–5 star hotel for three nights, VIP airport and clinic transfers, and US-based coordination and follow-up; you book your own flight. All-inclusive ($5,500) adds the round-trip flight, booked for you inside the price, and five nights instead of three. Both prices are set and collected by Dr. Yetkin Bayer Clinics. Astramedica's coordination fee is paid up front and counted toward the package price, so the total you pay is $3,500 or $5,500, not the fee on top. For public-source cost ranges in Turkey and the US, see the hair transplant cost guide.
Standards vary by clinic, which is why verification matters. Before coordinating hair cases with Dr. Yetkin Bayer Clinics, we reviewed its surgeon credentials, Ministry of Health licensing and international health tourism authorization, equipment standards, and aftercare process. 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.
So your case goes to one named team and stays there. For hair, Astramedica is the US patient coordination office for Dr. Yetkin Bayer Clinics. The checks we run on partner clinics are on the Clinic Vetting Process page.
FUE and DHI are two common ways of placing grafts, and the partner clinic offers both. Which technique may suit you depends on your hair-loss pattern, donor area, and the surgeon's assessment.
3 or 5 nights, depending on the package: Essential covers three hotel nights and All-inclusive covers five. The exact schedule depends on the clinic's plan, your procedure timing, and what the surgeon wants to check 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.
