The Good Ones

The better a surgeon is does not mean that he or she will charge you more, but you might have to pay a little extra because they are usually very popular and overbooked. Bear in mind that there are some surgeons who charge outrageously over the market price. Even though they might be good, it’s pointless to pay for more than its worth.

Be cost-savvy, do some research beforehand and know the average costs plus the hidden costs for the entire procedure. In most part of the country (U.S.) where there are good surgeons, the average costs per graft is around GBP 2 to 5. This price is meant for the top surgeon’s skill and expertise.

If you manage to find the right surgeon, make sure he or she is the one doing the transplant for you. There are many hair transplant clinics that have branches operated by other less experienced surgeons. Insist on the surgeon based on their reputation and portfolio.

Hair Grafts / Sessions

Usually your surgeon will charge you based on the amount of grafting you will need but some clinics might offer you a fixed charge for each session. Each session will usually costs around GBP 1,000 to $7,000. The clinics that charge by session can adapt the patient’s needs and his budget by adjusting the number and length of the hair transplant sessions. I recommend that you choose based on the amount of grafts if possible because you can actually determine how many grafts you will need and estimate the costs more accurately.

Example of A Basic Hair Surgery Cost If you are having moderate hair loss, let’s estimate that you will need around 2000 grafts, it will be like

GBP 5 / per graft X 2000 grafts = GBP 10,000.00

So, the basic cost really depends on the amount of grafts you will need. The more hair you have lost, the more you will have to pay. So I suggest, don’t start too late!

Maintenance

Maintenance is another hidden costs that most people tend to leave out. Every transplant including the newest method like Follicular Unit Extraction requires some maintenance. Although it’s not likely to cost much, it’s best to set aside GBP 800 for the maintenance care. Your doctor might ask you to get

  • Vitamins
  • Hair stimulating drugs like Minoxidil
  • Some special hair care products

Set aside some allowances for maintenance care. Although your new hair is DHT resistant, other factors like poor diet and stress can agitate hair loss. So it’s best to keep your investment in good care.

Additional Expenses

If you have to travel elsewhere to seek a good hair transplant surgeon, then you will have to add up the

  • Costs of traveling
  • Accommodation
  • Food
  • Revisits

In most cases, your doctor will ask you to return for a checkup after a few weeks and if you are staying somewhere far, then that is another additional cost to you. Speak to your doctor about it if you do not want to stay too long for a revisit.

Look for Financing and Packages 2023

If you really need to get it done without worrying about paying a huge sum of cash up front, you can always ask the clinic whether they provide financing options. Most good clinic nowadays understands the high cost customers are facing and they offer financing plans. Also, make sure you do your research on the various clinics before choosing one that fits the bill. If you intend to travel quite far for hair transplant, then look for special clinics that offer travel packages and rebates. Some of them provide air flights plus accommodations at very attractive rates.

Comparing Hair Transplant Cost with the Rest

Hair replacement might sound pretty expensive to you. But if you can afford it, it’s a very good choice for you since it’s a long lasting investment. Comparatively speaking, if you were to take Propecia, Rogaine and other hair loss products every month to maintain your hair, you will need to spend around GBP 800 per year.

As you have to take it for as long as you need, on average you will have to spend around GBP 15,000 for 20 years. Further to that, there is not guarantee that these products can help you maintain your hair. A good hair implant surgery costs much less in the long run. Furthermore, you won’t need to worry about the possible side effects or forgetting to take your medications. It’s a good way to keep your dependency off your medications.
