Skin Grafting in Medipol Acibadem District Hospital

Skin grafting using tissue expansion technique is available at Medipol Acibadem District Hospital in Istanbul, Turkey. The procedure may cost around $20,000 USD and is performed by Associate Professor Burak Özkan, a plastic surgeon with 9 years of experience and 900+ procedures completed.

About the Procedure

This two-stage skin grafting method uses tissue expansion for optimal cosmetic results. In the first stage, surgeons place two expanders under healthy scalp tissue. Over approximately two months, these expanders gradually stretch the skin.

The second stage involves removing the expanders and repositioning the expanded scalp to cover balding areas. Patients typically stay in the hospital for three days after the procedure. Weekly follow-up visits monitor progress during the expansion phase.
