Hair Transplant Cost and Recovery

I have been struggling with my hair loss for most of my life. I just turned forty and I am tired of being bald. It’s affected my life in a very profound way. I wear a baseball cap whenever I can and even my kids ask me why I always wear a hat. My wife suggested that I get a hair transplant if it will make me happier. So here I am.

The cost of a hair transplant varies greatly from city to city throughout the United States. Prices range from as little as $3.00 to as high as $8.00 with the standard being around $5 to $6 per follicular unit graft. If and when you speak to a hair restoration specialist, be sure to ask about additional fees including anesthetics, surgical facility costs and follow-up care as they may not be included in the procedure fee.
