Skin grafting for burns in Istanbul typically costs from $6,200. Total costs depend on the burn area size, graft thickness, and required hospital stay duration. Patients save around 81% compared to the US, where this procedure costs $33,000 on average. Pricing generally includes surgeon fees, anesthesia, and initial post-operative care.
Bookimed Expert Insight: Istanbul holds Turkey's highest concentration of JCI-accredited facilities, offering advanced burn care often unavailable in regional hubs. Centers like Anadolu Medical Center, affiliated with Johns Hopkins, provide access to multidisciplinary expertise. Specialized surgeons like Dr. Burak Özkan, recognized by the International Society of Burn Injuries, offer niche techniques such as reconstructive microsurgery for better functional outcomes.
