Hair transplants can vary from $4,000 to $15,000 in western countries. But it comes down as you move towards the Middle East and Asia. Here’s a global breakdown of the costs:

• US: $4,000 to $15,000
• Canada: $5,000 to $18,000
• UK: £3,000 to £15,000
• Thailand: $2,000 to $7,000
• Turkey: $1,500 to $3,000
• India: $600 to $4,000

Although hair transplant surgery costs are low in Turkey, the treatment, services, and results are as good as in western countries.

The primary reason behind these varied costs is the value of each country’s currency against fiat currencies like the US Dollar.

You may see a vast difference between the starting and the ending price ranges. That’s because several factors can influence the total cost of a hair transplant surgery. Here’s are some of these factors:

Location: As you have already seen in the price breakdown, the area where you are opting for a hair transplant can play a vital role in the total costs.

Since a hair transplant is considered cosmetic surgery, it is not covered by insurance. Hence, many people opt for a hair transplant in Turkey to save costs.

Experience of the surgeon: It is evident that the price increases with experience. If you go for a well-reputed, experienced surgeon, it will cost you more. However, it is advised to not look at the pricing aspect for this. Going through a hair transplant surgery by an experienced surgeon ensures no significant side effects. Hence, it only makes sense to give preference to experience over price.

The type of procedure: There are several hair transplant procedures, FUT and FUE being the top two. The costs of FUT are lower than FUE or DHI procedures. But the thing is, that the FUT process requires cutting a strip of hair from the back of your head, which can be painful. Moreover, there are chances of large visible scars. On the other hand, if you choose FUE or DHI, they are minimally invasive procedures. Hence, the pain and scars are lower.

The number of grafts: The cost of a hair transplant is primarily calculated by the number of grafts you want to be transplanted from the donor site to the recipient site. If you wish for only a single patch of hair transplant, the prices will be significantly less than transplanting hair on the entire scalp.

Travel costs and amenities: The travel and amenities price also adds up to the total cost of a hair transplant. But this again depends on the location as travel, hotel price, food cost, etc., are lower in countries like Turkey.
