Estimating the Cost of Hair Transplant Surgery
August 5th, 2009 admin

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

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...
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? Personally, if you’re going for maximum hair growth

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...
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...
Dr. Bessam Farjo, one of the United Kingdom’s leading hair transplant surgeons, wants to set an age limit for men seeking hair transplant surgery . His plea stems from a rise in the number of teenage boys who want to address their waning hairlines early. Perhaps a little too early. “Hair loss can be quite unpredictable in its early stages,...
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...
I’m approaching the 3 month mark after hair transplant surgery and I’m starting to get some pimples in the receipeint area. My question is if i pop them will it hurt the grafts? I know that they say at 10 days you would have to surgically remove the follicular units and that you cannot lose them, but what damage

If Hair Transplant is so safe, why do clinics require patients to sign “disclaimer” before surgery? I was quite freaked out seeing the paper basically saying ‘Oh, BTW, you could die and it won’t be our fault’. Not the best thing you do right immediately after popping Valium and right before heading for the chair....
