Hair transplant surgery is an aesthetic procedure and thus not covered by any health insurance policy. It is usually perceived as a big investment and many hair loss patients immediately turn it down as a potential treatment option. However, the affordability of hair transplant surgeries has improved over the past few years, as has their quality. Unlike other non-surgical hair restoration methods, hair transplantation is a permanent solution, delivering guaranteed aesthetic results. The cost of hair transplant surgery is usually quoted in $ per graft and it can vary between $3 and $10 per graft, with $5-$6 being the average. The factors affecting the price per graft include the extent of the surgery and the number of sessions required, the technique used and the location and reputation of the clinic and the…

Hair transplant surgery is, besides wearing wigs and using concealers, the only method of hair restoration that produces guaranteed results that everyone will notice. If you use medicinal drugs or believe in magic and employ herbal remedies to regrow your lost hair, it can take years to see any results and most likely you will be the only person to...
Good day. I would like some information regarding the cost of FUE hair transplantation, any possible risks involved with this type of surgery, and where the best clinics are located. Also, I was advised that I might need around 2,550 grafts or hairs transplanted, but I can’t remember which term was used. What’s the difference

This question comes from a member of the Hair Restoration Discussion Forums and Social Community: What is the open donor harvest technique used in a follicular unit transplantation (FUT) hair transplant procedure? How does it differ from harvesting a normal strip from the universal donor zone? Although the open donor harvest technique is described...
There’s no doubt that men and women with hair loss considering surgical hair restoration are concerned about cost. After all, hair transplant surgery is an expensive investment and should be considered carefully before jumping in, especially if multiple procedures are needed to meet your long term hair restoration goals. Hair transplant costs will...
From the initial consultation to the final stages of hair growth, the typical hair transplant patient will endure a roller coaster ride of discomfort, elation, concern, and eventual satisfaction. Like anything else, one patient’s experience cannot accurately predict another’s. Thus, discomfort during and after surgery, growth timelines, and...
If you undergo an FUE hair transplant procedure before FUT strip, is your total availability of grafts decreased? For example, if I had 6,000 grafts available via strip, and I undergo a 2,000 graft FUE surgery, would I still have the 4,000 left (via strip or FUE) if necessary?

Dear Dr. Rassman. I was wondering roughly how many grafts, single to double hairs, would be required to fill an area of 2 inches? I have straight medium weight, dirty blond hair. The average hair density is 1250 hairs per square inch (or 600 follicular units). So a 2 square inch area would contain about 2400 follicular units. For the appearance of...
Hair surgery, like any other surgery, has its limitations and potential risks. Not everyone is a good candidate, since you need to have a sufficient hair density in the donor area. People suffering from diffuse hair loss – female pattern baldness – are usually bad candidates. The biggest risk you take once you have decided to go ahead...
Follicular unit extraction (FUE) hair transplantation has becoming increasingly popular over the last couple of years for balding men in particular who don’t want the traditional linear scar that comes with follicular unit transplantation (FUT). While we believe the FUE procedure has a place in surgical hair restoration, its benefits are often overhyped...
Hi Dr. Rassman, I’ve had a hair transplant a month ago. Is it still possible for me to scratch my implanted FUE out? Thank you I would usually say no, but I have seen some strange results and methods of hair transplants over the years. Not all FUE (follicular unit extraction) is the same and not all hair transplants are the same. If you are...
