Once you have lost a substantial portion of hair due to hereditary factors or an accident, such as a burn, the only remaining option is to replace the missing hair. However the hair transplant costs heavily your options can be either of a temporary nature, such as the use of wigs and concealers, or a permanent surgical solution. Hair transplantation happens to be one of the most effective ways of surgical hair transplant and the only permanent solution with satisfactory results.

When inquiring about hair restoration, one of the first questions to come to mind is how much a hair transplant costs. Each procedure is different, specified to meet the needs of the individual patient, hairline matched to the symmetry of their unique face, bone structure and hair transplant costs per grafts. As these details vary from person to person, so does price. Thus, there is no average for hair transplant cost.

But before arriving at an opinion to go through hair transplant surgery, it’s better to consult with a doctor who will give you a clear understanding about the hair transplant price for surgery.

The following are some of the factors that can lead your hair plantation cost :

Hair fall is a genetic condition that causes the hair follicles in the affected area of the scalp to miniaturize. When this happens the best way to get hair growing is to transplant hairs from the donor  area of the scalp. Here I am going to describe the procedure involved during hair transplant surgery, which is really quite simple.

Plan the surgery. The hair restoration doctor will spend considerable time with you determining your desired outcome and hair plantation price : how much hair you want and where you want it.

• • Removal of hairs from the donor area [Permanent zone]. Men usually do not lose hair at the back of the head so this is where the living hair follicles will be removed from.(Donor Area)
  • Preparing hair units [grafts] for the transplant procedure. Each individual hair follicular unit needs to be cleaned and prepped for insertion. This is usually done by assistants while the surgeon is inserting hairs which have already been prepared. There are usually several hundred or a few thousand transplanted so this can take a while.
  • Implantation of the hair follicles. This is the most skilled intensive activity as the placement of the hair will determine the overall results. The hair surgeon will be very careful to be sure to match the directional growth pattern of the existing hair so the new hairs will tend to lay in the same direction as the surrounding, existing hairs.
  • It is a teamwork which includes permanent, well trained and qualified Assistants. Prolonged hours of work for each (case) procedure.
  • Some techniques (FUE, Body hair transplants)consume a lot of time of Doctor’s (Surgeons) up to 6-8 hr/day
  • Recuperation is not a very long-term problem anymore. The procedure is usually done in one day and thereafter for postoperative precautions have to be followed for 3-4 weeks.
  • The hair growth will take approximately 8 months to 18 months for complete presentation which can be managed as normal original hair without any side effects.
