To compare the prices for each technique I am taking the price from Dr Bisangas site.
FUT:
The first 2000 grafts at €3.00
All additional grafts at €2.00
FUE:
The first 1000 grafts at €5.00
All additional grafts at €3.00
3,500 grafts:
FUT costs €9,000
FUE costs €12,500
Comparing that with Dr. Feller:
FUT: 3,400-3,600 graphs $14,000
FUE: $10 per graph - 3,500 grafts = $35,000
Dr. Farjo:
Quote from email: "For strip surgery we charge GBP 5 per follicular unit for the first 1000 units, GBP 2.50 for the next 1000 and GBP 2 thereafter."
"For FUE it is GBP 6 per Follicular unit."
3,500 grafts:
FUT: GBP 10,500
FUE: GBP 21,000
To put each into Euro for a better comparison:
3,500 grafts using FUT technique:
Dr. Bisanga: €9,000
Dr. Feller: €10,854
Dr. Farjo: €13,052
3,500 grafts using FUE technique:
Dr. Bisanga: €12,500
Dr. Feller: €27,135*
Dr. Farjo: €26,075
*Apparently Dr. Feller would only consider doing about 1,000 FUE graphs and recommends FUT as the best option in the majority of cases.
There is a large price difference for the FUE procedure.
What are the main reasons that FUE is more expensive?
