Hair Transplant Costs
According to web.md, the average price for a hair transplant session ranges from $5,000 to $25,000. In the state of Texas, the average is said to be approximately $8,500 to $15,000.
Primary factors that can influence hair transplant costs are:
- The amount of hair being transplanted in a given session.
- The degree of hair loss or the more extensive the patient's hair loss on the Norwood scale, the more hair he or she will need.
- A surgeon's experience and dedication to hair transplantation as a specialty and industry and board accreditations.
- Depending on the hair surgeon's geographic location, large metropolitan areas are naturally more expensive because of the cost of living.
- The technique used to transplant your hair. Usually, FUE is more demanding time and staffing-wise and, therefore, often costs more than FUT donor strip harvesting.
- Patient expectations or cosmetic goals. Some patients desire and often demand more hair for added density and fullness than others.
- Regulations and patient safety—Certain countries subside the hair transplant industry and loosen patient protections and recourse to encourage discount medical tourism.

It's important to note that hair transplants are typically considered cosmetic procedures and are not covered by insurance. When considering a hair transplant, it's crucial to research thoroughly, consult with qualified professionals, and factor in all associated costs, including travel and aftercare if applicable.
Dr. Daniel McGrath underwent an exhaustive 1-year fellowship with a top hair transplant surgeon. He experienced further training as a surgeon with one of the larger US hair transplant specialty medical practices over 20 years ago. He has since dedicated his professional focus exclusively to medical and surgical hair restoration. Dr. is a past president of the American Board of Hair Restoration Surgery (ABHRS), and he is one of less than 200 hair surgeons worldwide certified as a diplomate of the ABHRS. As recognition for his dedication and contributions to assuring excellence in hair restoration, Dr. McGrath received the Fellow designation from the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery, a designation only given to 150 hair transplant surgeons worldwide.
