The price of hair restoration is going to vary based on several factors.  Some of these factors are based on the extent of your hair loss and some are based on the locality you live in.  There are also differences dealing with the amount of existing hair you have for a donor area and the skill and experience of the surgeon and clinic.  There are several thing that make a difference for hair restoration prices so when comparing the cost of hair implants you need to take this into consideration.

Hair restoration costs are going to be much higher in the larger metropolitan areas of the country.  For example, New York and LA have very high costs for the hair implant procedures compared to other cities such as Atlanta and Denver.  The main reason for this is the number of people who can afford the cost of hair restoration in these area versus how many can afford the procedure in second tier cities that are still large.  Another geographic effect is how important fashion is in the area.  Both LA and New York have large numbers of people who are in the entertainment business.  In general people in entertainment are very concerned about their looks.  Thus they are willing to pay a lot to look younger and this drives up the cost of the hair transplant procedures.  It is all market driven.


Another variable in the cost of hair transplants is the experience of the surgeon. A person with a newly minted plastic surgery degree is going to charge less than someone with twenty years of performing the procedures. Whenever you are dealing with cosmetic surgery you never want to fore go experience for price. A bargain basement price will usually give you a bargain basement result. It will look like you bought your new hair at Wal-Mart which will not impress anyone.

Also when deciding on a clinic it is important to see before and after pictures to understand what kind of results to expect. If the surgeon doesn't have any pictures or very few then I would be very leery.  Cosmetic surgery is all about looks and a physicians before and after books is his or her most important item.

Depending on some of the variables above you can expect to pay between $3 and $6 per graft.  Of course you can expect to pay the lower price in smaller clinics away from the entertainment hubs.  Some of the most sought after surgeons will charge even more than the highest amount.  But of course saying that Dr. Z did your hair implants can be worth a lot for bragging rights.

The number of grafts will also depend on several factors mostly having to do with the size of the area to be covered and the desired thickness of the resulting hair coverage.  Generally speaking you expect anywhere from 600 grafts on a hair line job to over 4000 for a scalp with large patches of male pattern baldness.  Taking these number together you get a range of between $1800 to over $20,000 or even much more.

Is it worth it?  You bet.  What would it be worth to get 15 years of your youth back.  Studies indicate men and women with hair loss tend to be judged 10 to 15 years older than their actual age.  Make a commitment today to find out all about hair restoration  and hair implants.  You deserve to look as young as you feel.  Start your quest for the new you today.

I suggest you continue to learn more about hair restoration and hair implants before you make a hasty decision. Visit some clinic, most will offer a free consultation, and find out what you could expect as the results from a hair restoration procedure. You will probably be surprised at how good you can look and how fast the change can take place.

Hair is an important part of how you look and your self esteem.  Don't short change yourself and live the rest of you life not enjoying who you see in the mirror.  Rediscover the man or woman of your youth and start to live again.
