Cost of Hair plugs
The cost of hair plug surgery depends on the total area where grafting has to be done. As is in the case of most of the cosmetic surgeries, the costs of Hair plugs are quite high and sometimes even unaffordable to common man. The cost also depends on the region and the quality of the clinic or the doctor. Here are some figures which might interest you.
Hair plugs surgery cost in USA : 4$ to 8$ per graft. *
Hair plugs surgery cost in Canada : 3.5$ to 6$ per graft. *
Hair plugs surgery cost in UK : £ 2.5 to £ 4.5 per graft. *
Hair plugs surgery cost in (Eastern European countries) : 1.5$ to 4$per graft. *
Hair plugs surgery cost in Australia and New Zealand : 4$ to 7$ per graft.*
Hair plugs surgery cost in India, China, Malaysia etc (South Asian countries): 1.25$ to 3.5$ per graft.*
Hair plugs surgery cost in Dubai: The costs here are highly variable, There are clinics which charge just 1$ per graft and also some high profile clinics like Alvi Armani whose charges start from 6$ up to 20$ for VIP patients.
* Note: All the above figures specify only the mid 80% range of the prices. The lower and higher 10% may be highly variable.
The charges per graft also varies according to the number of grafts, for example a clinic might charge 4$ per graft for the first 2000 grafts and 3$ henceforth. Since the cost is dependent on the geographical region so a 3$ per graft charging clinic in Ukraine might give you a far more better implant than the 4$ per graft charging clinic in USA and the trip to Ukraine a bonus (Many clinics provide staying facility)
Well, I assume that you have got a fair enough idea after seeing these figures. I would not advice you to undergo the surgery at the lower end prices because once the surgery is undergone then in case the surgery turns out to be unsuccessful it would be difficult to do the surgery again in the same hair region. More over the output is proportional to the input most of the times. Since this is a cosmetic surgery we cannot claim medical insurance. So while deciding on the plans choose wisely a best bet would be the one which is affordable and also give you a natural look.
