Senior Member California Posted August 25, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted August 25, 2015 Just an FYI 1 USD today, is equivalent to Indian Rupees 66.17. This is an all time high for the US Dollar. What this means for HT Patients from the Western countries is that hair transplant in India is getting cheaper. To put this into perspective, Darling Buds India/Dr. Bhatti charges INR 89 per graft for FUE. (Hair Transplant Cost in India, FUE Cost, Price) With the rising US Dollar value, that translates to $1.35 per FUE graft! World class HT.......very affordable price......as good as it gets!

Senior Member California Posted August 26, 2015 Author Senior Member Share Posted August 26, 2015 :eek: so right now Dr. Bhatti is offering grafts for $1.35? Hi HTsoon, Yes, that is correct. Dr. Bhatti's pricing is in Indian Rupees and with the recent appreciation of the US Dollar, the current pricing is at $1.35 per graft (FUE).

Senior Member Shadow of the EMpire State Posted September 19, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted September 19, 2015 It's very important not to let price impact your decision too much. Remember: this is a surgical procedure, not a TV set; getting a bargain should not be a main consideration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Mick50 Posted September 19, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted September 19, 2015 For most guys price is always going to impact their decision in an ideal world sure we'd all love to have 20000 euros to spend but not all of us can afford that kind of dosh ,I think it's great that there are docs like Dr Bhatti who offer affordable options Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member lileli Posted September 19, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted September 19, 2015 Many of us on this forum would not have been able to afford a hair transplant if not for affordable options overseas. Dr Bhatti offers high quality fue. Not bargain quality Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member FEDCBA Posted September 20, 2015 Regular Member Share Posted September 20, 2015 I am curious, what does it entail going to India to see Dr. Bhati? How much would an airline ticket cost, hotel room, etc? Also, after the procedure? What are the follow ups like? What does that entail? Do I have to stay in India long? If I was to go to India, I would probably go and spend a week being a tourist before doing the procedure and head back, or do I have to stay for how many days after the procedure? Can I fly in the air soon after? Etc? Any replies, greatly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Rawkerboi Posted September 20, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted September 20, 2015 (edited) Irony is, Indians still find Dr.Bhatti quite expensive, many can't afford! He should give some concession to Indians Edited September 20, 2015 by Rawkerboi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Bhatti's rep California can give you a better idea with current exchange rates. I didn't stay long because I didn't want to be away from my family so I arrived on a Saturday, had my procedure on Monday and left on Thursday.

Senior Member fortune11 Posted September 20, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted September 20, 2015 India is actually a very affordable option for HT . The only thing I would say is the rupee being so low is not a "deal that won't last long" type situation. The $ is likely to continue to remain stronger against most emerging market currencies , including India, at least for the next few quarters. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FUT #1, ~ 1600 grafts hairline (Ron Shapiro 2004) FUT #2 ~ 2000 grafts frontal third (Ziering 2011) FUT #3 ~ 1900 grafts midscalp (Ron Shapiro early 2015) FUE ~ 1500 grafts frontal third, side scalp, FUT scar repair --300 beard, 1200 scalp (Ron Shapiro, late 2016) http://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/eve/185663-recent-fue-dr-ron-shapiro-prior-fut-patient.html --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
