I am just curious to know how much hair transplant surgeons earn in the United States vs. rest of the world!!

Sorry if this is not a legit question.

well, I'm sure wen u include overhead and malpractice insurance its pretty close compared to those doctors that don't have the same expenses. which is why US doctors rip their patients off usually which is why most go to Europe.

I don't understand why you're saying that it's about the same without overhead and insurance but your also saying US doctors rip off patients?

If a Dr. U or an F charges $8/ graft. For 6000 grafts that's a cool $48k/ day.

Several DO and MD doctors with primary care credentials, without going through the actual gruesome general surgical or plastic surgery residency; this seems as a lucarative career option. And I am not sure is there is actual accredited fellowship in the US. I may be wrong.

I doubt whether overhead expenses are significantly more compared to other subspecialties. Malpractice insurance - given the exhaustive blanket consent form absolving the physician from any responsibility in case of an adverse event - claims could be a rarity.
