Spanker i have to disagree with "If you cant afford the top range of that, you can't afford a transplant IMO."
Price is what kept me from getting a transplant from about 2008-2005. I just didn't have $10,000+ laying around to get my hair fixed. (also i didn't want a strip scar)
If i had known i could get my hairline fixed for only $4000 I would have had it done years ago and i wouldn't have had to live with the insecurities of a receding hairline and giant forehead for so long. My doctor has the cheapest FUE prices I've seen and yet does excellent work. Then again some doctors on here do at best a mediocre job yet they charge a ton of money.
