Overview
Financing is available on every MetropolMED booking through Doctours — the balance splits into monthly payments through our lending partners, for terms up to 36 months.
MetropolMED packages range from $2,800 (Premium) to $4,160 (Hybrid Elite), each reserved with a flat $500 deposit, and bundle the procedure, Istanbul airport and clinic transfers, three hotel nights, IV sedation, PRP, laser therapy, elixir therapy, and 12 months of follow-up care.
On a 36-month plan, the Premium tier runs about $64 per month before interest, the VIP tier near $71, the Elite tier around $96, and the Hybrid Elite tier about $102 — figures reflect principal only.
Every deposit and monthly installment runs through Doctours in US dollars on a US-domiciled checkout — no foreign wire transfers, no currency conversion margin, and no markup added for using a payment plan.
MetropolMED is the flagship financing guide's worked example — the $2,800 Premium package at under $65 per month after the $500 deposit — the plan only needs to be set up seven days before surgery, and you do not need to finish paying before flying to Istanbul.
If you've read the canonical Doctours financing guide, you've already met MetropolMED without realizing it. That worked example the guide leans on to prove a plan is doable — a $2,800 all-inclusive transplant, a $500 deposit, roughly $64 a month — is this clinic, the Kartal, Istanbul surgery center whose Premium package became the article's reference point. So the answer to how financing works here is unusually concrete: financing is available through Doctours on every MetropolMED package, with the balance split into monthly payments through our lending partners across as many as 36 months — and the Premium tier is that exact under-$65-a-month figure the flagship post is built around.
Maybe you've kept the MetropolMED page open for weeks, holding the Premium price up against your balance, half-pricing Istanbul flights. On paper it lands — the total is a fraction of a US quote. What stalls you isn't the price; it's the calendar. Do I empty the account in one go, or turn it into a monthly line I hardly notice? That's the honest hesitation, and it's a fair one. It tends to dissolve the moment financing sits on top of MetropolMED's price instead of adding to it.
Does MetropolMED Offer Hair Transplant Financing Directly?
MetropolMED focuses on the medical side — a flat $500 deposit holds your date, and the clinic delivers each tier at one all-in price that covers the procedure and package. Financing is available on every booking; it's simply arranged through Doctours rather than billed by the clinic. Doctours sets up the monthly plan through our lending partners once your deposit clears. What MetropolMED publishes on the Premium, VIP, Elite, and Hybrid Elite tiers is the all-in price, the deposit, and everything folded into the package — the same figure whether you clear it at once or over time.
That's where Doctours comes in as the booking partner. Once the $500 deposit clears, any MetropolMED booking can be broken into monthly payments through our lending partners on the platform. The clinic sits among Doctours' Istanbul partners beside Heva Clinic, Vera Clinic, Dr. Serkan Aygin Clinic, and Vialife Clinic, and the plan terms hold steady from one to the next — only the package price you're spreading moves. MetropolMED operates as a JCI-accredited surgery center under an International Health Tourism authorization (AK-0164) with a separate TÜRSAB travel-agency certification (13032), led by hair transplant surgeon Cemal Karayazi.
How Does MetropolMED Financing Work Through Doctours?
Every step of it stays on home soil. You choose a MetropolMED tier, put the $500 deposit down through Doctours to lock the date and the price, then apply through our lending partners against the balance that's left. Our lending partners approve eligible applicants in minutes — yes or no, your rate, and the monthly figure that comes with it.
Terms run up to 36 months on that balance, with shorter options available depending on your region and eligibility. It all clears in dollars through US-based processors, so nothing gets wired overseas, no exchange-rate skim eats into it, and there's no envelope of cash to carry through the airport. The entire monthly installment plan lives on the very checkout that took your deposit.
One deadline is the only one that counts: the plan has to be live at least a week before the operation. Past that, nothing hinges on your payoff schedule — you fly, you have the procedure, and the installments keep ticking away behind you. That's the whole argument of the flagship Doctours financing guide: what actually held people back was never the sticker on a Turkey package — it was the timing, and a plan settles the timing.
How Much Does a Monthly MetropolMED Hair Transplant Payment Cost?
This is the part MetropolMED is quietly known for — its Premium tier is the very case the flagship guide runs the numbers on. Every MetropolMED package carries a flat $500 deposit, with all-in prices of $2,800 (Premium), $3,040 (VIP), $3,960 (Elite), and $4,160 (Hybrid Elite). The table below shows the remaining balance after that deposit, divided evenly across each term. Every figure is principal on its own; any interest our lending partners apply is disclosed before you sign, and your real rate follows your credit.
MetropolMED Package | Pay in 4* | Monthly (36 mo)* | Monthly (12 mo)* |
|---|---|---|---|
Premium | ~$575 | ~$64 | ~$192 |
VIP | ~$635 | ~$71 | ~$212 |
Elite | ~$865 | ~$96 | ~$288 |
Hybrid Elite | ~$915 | ~$102 | ~$305 |
*Estimates reflect the balance after the $500 deposit, divided evenly across each term — principal only, before any fees or interest from our lending partners. Pay in 4 splits that balance into four equal installments.
Take the Premium package as the anchor, since it's the one the flagship article made its poster child: for the procedure plus airport and clinic transfers, three hotel nights, IV sedation, PRP, laser therapy, elixir therapy, and a year of follow-ups, you land at roughly $64 a month once the $500 deposit is down. That's the entire "under $65" claim made concrete — and the reason the Doctours financing guide reached for this clinic to begin with. Climb the table and VIP sits near $71, Elite around $96, and the Hybrid Elite — the only tier that fuses DHI with Sapphire FUE in one session — near $102.
For context, the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery reports the US average runs $10,000 to $15,000 for the surgery alone — before hotel, transfers, or aftercare, and rarely with a multi-year payment plan attached. Putting a $2,800 all-in Premium package on a 36-month plan at about $64 a month is a categorically different question than financing a $12,000 US procedure — some $335 a month apart, with the hotel, transfers, and follow-ups already inside the price. The Turkey vs United States cost comparison traces exactly where that gap opens up.
What's Included in a Financed MetropolMED Package?
A low monthly means little if the package leaves the trip for you to cover on top of it. With MetropolMED the base is identical across every tier: surgery with the MetropolMED team, airport and clinic transfers, three hotel nights, IV sedation, PRP, laser therapy, elixir therapy, and twelve months of online follow-up. It's a technician-led surgery center staffing 100-plus people with interpreters in fifteen languages. What sets the tiers apart is mostly technique and a pair of regenerative extras.
Inclusion | Premium | VIP | Elite | Hybrid Elite |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Airport & clinic transfers | Included | Included | Included | Included |
Hotel nights | 3 | 3 | 3 | 3 |
IV sedation | Included | Included | Included | Included |
PRP therapy | Included | Included | Included | Included |
Laser therapy | Included | Included | Included | Included |
Elixir therapy | Included | Included | Included | Included |
Online follow-ups | 12 | 12 | 12 | 12 |
Stem cell exosomes | — | — | Included | Included |
DHI + Sapphire FUE combined | — | — | — | Included |
Two things worth flagging. The step up from Premium to Elite mostly buys you stem cell exosome therapy layered into the aftercare — so if that isn't a priority, the Premium tier finances out at the lowest monthly number without giving up transfers, hotel, sedation, or follow-ups. And the Hybrid Elite is the only tier that combines DHI and Sapphire FUE in one session; if a single technique suits your case, a lower tier is the honest like-for-like comparison. Our breakdown of what a Turkey package does and doesn't include is worth reading before you put any money down.
How Does Financing a MetropolMED Package Compare to a US Hair Transplant Loan?
Financing exists on the US side too, usually through outside lenders — the same machinery of approval, term, and monthly bill. What changes everything is the size of the number underneath it. Put a $12,000 US procedure on a 36-month plan at a typical 12% APR and you're near $399 a month with roughly $2,350 in interest riding along. Run MetropolMED's $2,800 Premium over the same window and you're closer to $64. That isn't a sharper deal on the same operation; it's a different order of monthly obligation altogether.
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau argues for judging any loan by its total cost rather than its monthly line — and on that measure, the interest on a US plan alone can outrun what the entire MetropolMED Premium package costs. Because Doctours adds no markup over the clinic's price, your plan rides on MetropolMED's real number, not an inflated one. The price you'd write a check for today is the price you finance — the cost simply gets distributed across the months.
How Do You Get Pre-Approved Before Booking MetropolMED?
The quickest way to find out whether MetropolMED financing fits is to get pre-approved through our lending partners before you settle on dates. Since the right lender depends on where you live, ask your Doctours patient coordinator to identify the local partner lender for your region and start the pre-approval. The check runs in a couple of minutes and returns the exact term, rate, and total repayment you'd get on the package you have in mind. APR runs from 0% to 35.99%, set by our lending partners, not Doctours.
Pre-approval commits you to nothing. No procedure booked, no deposit locked, and you're free to move between tiers — or clinics in the network — after the numbers are in front of you. A free Doctours assessment is the natural place to start: it pins down your recommended graft count, technique, and Norwood stage, then lines up clinic options with all-in pricing. A side-by-side look at Turkey financing options shows how MetropolMED measures up against the other Istanbul partners.
What Should You Confirm Before Locking In MetropolMED Financing?
The right plan should feel like room to breathe, not a regret that surfaces on next month's statement. Get a few things down in writing before you commit.
Total repayment, not just the monthly. Our lending partners publish the APR and full repayment once you're approved. If the total climbs well past the sticker, you've answered a different question than the one you asked.
Prepayment terms. Early payoff is usually penalty-free with our lending partners, but get that confirmed against your own plan.
Cancellation and rescheduling. Through Doctours, a US-based care team handles refund and rescheduling talks with MetropolMED directly — so you're never untangling a refund with an Istanbul clinic and a lender at the same time.
Currency and payment channel. Deposit and installments alike move in US dollars through US-based processors — no exceptions on the platform.
The right tier. If you want the DHI-and-Sapphire Hybrid Elite or an exosome tier, confirm that's the package your plan is built on before the deposit clears.
Before you bank on installments, confirm your address qualifies. Our partner-lender plans reach patients in the United States and Canada only, and even there approval isn't automatic — the lender runs a soft credit check on each application. Anywhere else, or if the answer comes back no, MetropolMED is still bookable: settle it in full, or spread it interest-free through Doctours layaway, which is open to everyone regardless of country.
The Bottom Line
MetropolMED and Doctours work as partners on each booking: the clinic sets a $500 deposit and one all-in price per tier, and Doctours arranges financing on the balance. Through Doctours, financing is available on every package — Premium at $2,800, VIP at $3,040, Elite at $3,960, Hybrid Elite at $4,160 — as a monthly payment plan through our lending partners running up to 36 months: about $64 a month for Premium, near $71 for VIP, around $96 for Elite, roughly $102 for Hybrid Elite. Dollars throughout, a US checkout throughout, and nothing added for choosing to pay across time.
You've already sized up MetropolMED. What's left isn't a doubt about the procedure — it's whether the timing works without upending your budget, and a 36-month plan rewrites that question. This isn't wait, save, book next spring. It's book now, carry $64 to $102 a month, and let the rest of the year run on as planned. Looking after yourself was never something that needed the perfect month to justify.
You've turned this over long enough. The plan was already waiting.

FAQs
Does MetropolMED offer hair transplant financing directly?
Not on its own. The clinic's model is just a $500 deposit at booking with the balance due by surgery day — no in-house lender, no clinic installment plan. The monthly option is supplied by Doctours, the platform MetropolMED books through, via payment plans through our lending partners that stretch up to 36 months.
How much is a monthly MetropolMED hair transplant payment?
That comes down to tier and term length. Over 36 months you're looking at roughly $64 a month on the $2,800 Premium, about $71 on the $3,040 VIP, around $96 on the $3,960 Elite, and near $102 on the $4,160 Hybrid Elite — all before interest. The figures are principal only; our lending partners spell out any interest before you commit.
What is the deposit for a MetropolMED hair transplant?
Every tier — Premium, VIP, Elite, Hybrid Elite — reserves with the same $500. You pay it in US dollars through Doctours to hold your date and price, and it's the leftover balance that gets divided into monthly payments through our lending partners.
Can I have my MetropolMED procedure before I finish paying?
Yes. All that's required is having your monthly payment plan through our lending partners active at least seven days ahead of your date — finishing the payments first isn't part of it. You go in for surgery on schedule while the balance keeps paying down month by month.
Are MetropolMED financing payments in US dollars or Turkish lira?
US dollars, start to finish. Deposit and every installment run in USD through our lending partners, so there's no overseas wire, no conversion spread, and no reason to travel with a stack of cash.
