Wondering about your hair transplant cost? Hair transplant surgery can cost anywhere from $2000 to $20,000 so there really isn\’t a set price for everyone.

However, this article will lay out the factors involved in determining the price, so you can get a better idea of what kind of cost you may looking at.

Factors that determine hair transplant cost:

#1 Type of Surgery

There are basically two different types of transplant surgery – the FUT or the FUE. The FUT (follicular unit transplantation) is the more common type of surgery where a strip is cut from the back of your head and the hairs are harvested from this strip.

The advantage is that you can get a lot of grafts done per session this way – so results can be dramatic. This is the most affordable type of surgery.

The FUE (follicular unit extraction) is a newer type of transplant that not all doctors will do. It involves harvesting individual hairs from the back of your head and transplanting them into balding areas (this is a less invasive type of surgery).

This is much more labor-intensive – so the price per graft will be higher. I\’ve seen it be almost double the price per graft of a FUT surgery in some cases.

#2 Number of Grafts Needed

This again, will vary with the person and your surgeon can give you an idea of how many grafts you\’ll need. If you\’re just starting to go thin on top, you can probably get away with 800-1000 grafts.

But if you\’re seriously thin or balding, you may want to do 2000+ grafts. Since hair transplant costs are usually estimated in price per graft, if you need more grafts you\’ll be paying more for your transplant.

#3 Skill of Your Surgeon

The best surgeons will charge more – that\’s just the way it is. They can because they are the best and in high demand.

So if you go with a world-famous hair transplant surgeon, you\’ll probably be paying a few cents more per graft than if you go to the discount transplant guys down the street.

However this is one area where you really don\’t want to skimp. I\’d recommend you find the absolute best surgeon you can. He\’s more likely to give you a more natural look and be up-to-date on the latest transplant methods. This is, after all, something you\’ll be living with for the rest of your life.

#4 Number of Sessions You\’ll Need

Most guys only do one session. However if you are completely bald and you really want to see a dramatic change, you may need a few sessions. This means more of the surgeon\’s time and so the cost will go up.

So those are some things that factor into the cost. For most guys, they definitely feel it\’s worth the investment since a transplant can give you back your own naturally growing hair. But take your time, do your research and really make sure this is the right decision for you.
