subject: How Much Is Hair Restoration Surgery Supposed To Cost [print this page] If you're wondering how much is hair transplant surgery, it's important to do your research before going into a clinic. May clinics will try to hide their prices or try to convince you their prices are low when really they are significantly higher. If you take the time to find out which clinics offer low prices and also offer incredibly high quality work, you are likely to be very satisfied with your selection.
Man and women who are searching for the cheapest hair restoration options often find it easier to fly from their home city to a different city in order to find a clinic that offers a much better deal for their money. I know that I traveled from my home city to southern California for my procedure, because even with my travel costs and my hotel, I ended up saving a lot of money.
The expertise of the surgeon is another thing you need to take into consideration. Without an experienced surgeon, you may be able to get a low price for the work, while at the same time getting less for your money that you should have because if the work is not completed correctly, you'll probably have to have corrective surgery later on. Ideally, you can be sure that your surgeon is experienced and comes highly recommended and will be able to complete the procedure without potentially making mistakes or causing problems usually encountered by less-experienced surgeons.
It's important to note that a lot of the clinics out there will split your naturally occurring hair grafts, this means you are getting less hair for the price you pay. For example, a follicular unit that normally is 1-4 hair can be split into individual hairs. This means that you can pay up to 4 times as much for the same number of hairs to be transplanted. Even if they say they charge a low price for their grafts, you could end up paying 4 times as much in the end for the same result.
With a clinic that offers a flat-rate pricing structure and that does not split hair grafts, you can expect to pay as little as $.60 per hair or $1.50 per graft, where other clinics charge as much as $4 per hair for the same result. Based on this example, it's probably easy to see how important it is to find an honest surgeon that has your needs in mind and is not just trying to get as much money out of you as possible.
For many men the decision to have this cosmetic surgery is a decision that you will make after taking several factors into consideration, and that's perfectly normal. The fact you are losing hair can be difficult to come to terms with, and the ability to rectify the problem and have your hair replaced professionally is something many men are happy to pay for if the price is right.
So, before going in for surgery, make sure to do as much research as possible, but just know that there are clinics out there that offer incredibly good pricing and that also offer very high-quality work.
