Istanbul Care — Istanbul, Turkey

Established in 2009, Istanbul Care is a medical travel company in Istanbul's Ataşehir district. The organization coordinates aesthetic and medical treatments for international patients. It operates through a single-building facility with four specialized departments. As a medical tourism coordinator, it connects patients with contracted surgeons at partner hospitals across Turkey.

Accreditations and Quality Standards

Istanbul Care works exclusively with facilities authorized for medical tourism. The organization and its partner hospitals hold several international certifications:

• JCI (Joint Commission International) accreditation
• TEMOS international healthcare certification
• ASPS (American Society of Plastic Surgeons) recognition
• ISO 9001:2015 quality management certification

Partner facilities undergo regular evaluations for compliance with global healthcare protocols. All procedures are led by board-certified surgeons and specialists.

Hair Restoration and Trichology

The clinic focuses on hair restoration for both men and women. Dr. Tuğba H has performed over 4,000 procedures during more than 8 years of practice. Munire Salman, an ISHRS member since 2011, specializes in trichology and female pattern hair loss.

Restoration techniques include:

• FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) for individual graft harvesting
• DHI (Direct Hair Implantation) using specialized pen tools
• Sapphire FUE for precise, small-incision graft placement
• Beard and eyebrow transplantation

Treatment planning includes detailed donor mapping and graft placement under local anesthesia.

Dental and Cosmetic Dentistry

The dental department provides smile restoration through the Hollywood Smile program. This cosmetic transformation combines veneers, crowns, whitening, and orthodontic treatments. For missing teeth, the team offers the All-on-X method.

All-on-X restores a full dental arch using four to six strategically placed implants. The clinic reports implant success rates often above 95%. Surgeons frequently use Nobel Biocare systems for these solutions. Standard removable dentures are also available, typically requiring three to six visits over several weeks.

Plastic Surgery and Weight Loss

Dr. Asil B brings 25 years of experience to procedures like rhinoplasty and facelifts. For body contouring, the clinic offers mega liposuction. This removes significant fat volumes in one session for high-BMI patients.

Weight loss surgery options include:

• Sleeve Gastrectomy (gastric sleeve)
• Roux-en-Y gastric bypass
• Gastric Balloon – a non-surgical option
• Laparoscopic gastric banding

Specialists provide 24/7 medical assistance to monitor patients throughout their surgical journey.

• English
• German

The 24/7 support model means patients can reach assistance at any time during their stay.
