I haven't been able to find a post containing a price list comparing different physicians who are recommended on Hair Transplant Network.com (Ultra-refined & traditional follicular unit grafting).

Has anyone already done this leg work? Although results vary, it would be nice to see a per follicle price list breakdown.

I can start with one group that I've encountered - Ron Shapiro $4.50/ea, Paul Shapiro $4.00/ea. for 2K and under.

I'm esp. interested in overseas quotes - Thailand, Brazil, Pakistan, Turkey, UK, etc... to see some variety. Thanks!

That would be a useful exercise and advantageous to potential patients. Of course, like location, price alone is not a measure of quality, but it is clearly an important factor in the overall decision-making process.

The other thing to bear in mind, especially with overseas quotes, is the fact that exchange rates fluctuate. Speaking as someone from the UK, an HT procedure in the US is now about a third more expensive than it was this time last year, purely because of the fall in the value of sterling against the dollar.

Regards

Hi gryphon i don't think price is as important as choosing the right doc, a ht isn't cheap no matter where you go.I am travelling from uk to have a ht with dr feller in april, and because the pound is alot lower now than it was when i first worked out my price the extra money needed is considerable but i know i'm going to get a good result. cheers mgem

I can say that 3000 graft's in Pakistan by Dr Humayun cost ??1300 in January 2009 , I had 2475 graft costing me just over ??1000.

I believe that most doctors usually charge on average between $4 and $5 per graft for the first 2000, and then the price per graft usually drops somewhat after that depending on the doctor. But be wary of pricing. More expensive does not mean better quality. Here in Ireland there is one doctor (Dr. Collins) who seems to be doing decent work from what I've read about him. However, I believe he is charging a whopping ?‚¬10 per graft (around $13). Now although his work is good, he is not in the same league (IMO) as the likes of Feller, Shapiro, Hasson & Wong etc. And for what Collins would charge for a 2000 graft session (around $26800, I kid you not!), I could get a world class HT in the States or Canada with a top doctor, stay in a plush hotel for the duration, and still have enough change to splash out if I wanted. And like mgem said, price is not the most important thing to consider when choosing a doctor. If you don't have the money to visit a good doctor right now, save until you do. But also remember what I said earlier, more expensive does not necessarily mean better.

Not sure about the grafts but, Dr.Ravindra Reddy and Dr.Ashok from Hyderabad, India charge apprx $1000 for a HT (strip method).

From among the doctors recommended on this forum, in North America, there are a couple of doctors who charge $3 per graft. Most charge between $4 - $5 per graft for FUT. Non-coalition doctors usually charge more, although there are a few who charge $2 per graft, but I wouldn't want them to touch my hair.

In some developing countries, it is much lower, although I have serious doubts about their quality. A few years back, I contemplated on a "medical tourism" trip to India, Pakistan, China, or Brazil. Through emails, and over the phone, I got a few quotes. I think I got a few quotes as low as 50 cents per graft.

However, the quality of work (based on photos) of most of them was horrible! In fact, for several of the patients, they looked considerably worse after the HT than before.
