What It Will Cost
The cost for hair replacement surgery depends 
on the patient and his specific situation and the number of follicular unit grafts to be placed. Keep in mind that a surgeon will not be able to narrow in on an exact number in advance, since there are many variables that come into play, including the extent of the hair loss, the balding pattern and the density and thickness desired. On average, the number of grafts needed can range between 1,000 and 3,000. Although prices can start around $3 per graft, the typical cost will be around $4 to $8 each. The cost per graft variations usually reflects the reputation of the surgeon, the ambiance of the clinic, the number of assistants on staff, and the surgeon’s overhead costs. In some instances, surgeons will reduce the price of a graft if you are buying a large number at one time. In addition, some surgeons are willing to work for a fixed amount for the procedure, which can be approximately $5,000 for about 1,000 grafts.
You can expect to pay between $3,000 and $24,000 for hair transplant surgery, depending on your specific situation and needs.
It is also worth a note that in addition to performing hair transplant surgery on the scalp, the procedure is also available for other parts of the body as well. Hair grafting to fill in a spotty beard or goatee can cost between $3,000 and $5,500, while chest hair transplants can set you back between $5,500 to $11,000. Even an eyebrow restoration is possible. This can cost $3,500 to $6,000. Just keep in mind that hair transplant surgery is considered to be cosmetic surgery. On that basis alone, it is not covered by insurance, so you should plan to pay for the expense out of your own pocket.
Hair Loss In Women
While surgical hair transplant is a very good option for men, it is important to mention that it is not a viable solution for most women. The fact is that many women can have the female equivalent of male pattern baldness, but unfortunately it is because of a different cause that won’t respond in the same way. In women, this condition is generally more hormonal in nature than genetic, and it is also likely to cause thinning throughout the entire scalp rather than just concentrated in one area the way it is in men. Since hair transplant surgery is more effective if it is concentrated in a particular single area, this means that the procedure is not usually suitable for women. In addition, some of the FDA-approved drugs for men are extremely dangerous for females. For instance, Propecia, which is the most widely used prescription for men, can cause birth defects on a fetus. Therefore, it is not prescribed for women at all.
