Cost of Hair Transplant

A Dollar and Half A Graft
A Dollar and a Half for FUE

Why clients come to Darling Buds, India?

You have done enough research and would know that Hair transplant cost in countries like USA, Brazil, Canada, UK, Bahrain, Dubai, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand and European countries like France, Switzerland, Spain, Germany ranges from USD 6,000- 22,000.

With the downswing in economy, it has become difficult for the average client to afford a hair transplant at such costs.

For the past 5 years, hair transplant services in India have become a force to reckon with as far as quality, and better care are concerned.

Due to these reasons, clients suffering from hair loss are increasingly looking Eastwards towards India for their hair transplant. This great demand has increased the number of transplant procedures being done at premiere centers in India like at Darling Buds.

Therefore, Indian doctors today do more hair transplant procedures per capita than all European countries put together.

What are the reasons for this Boom? Read on-

1. Doctors from India have long been considered in the UK,  USA, Canada , Australia and NZ as the most skilled.  Every family in these countries has at one time or the other been treated by an Indian family physician or they have been treated by a specialist of Indian origin  in a larger hospital. India is known the world over for its compassionate doctors, caring nurses and quality care.
2. In the past few years, Indian hospitals and day care centers like Darling Buds are recognized  as favored destinations for those considering medical travel overseas  for cosmetic surgeries like hair transplant.
3. Still rates in India for hair transplant are the most competitive in the world. A Dollar and Half A Graft at Darling Buds is the longest a dollar can be stretched!
4. ‘Big Mac’, from NZ, and a client at “Darling Buds” wrote this in the testimonial book- “ I love India for plastic surgery because- I got an Indian doctor with US training and standards of care, at Chinese rates!” This says it all.
5. The cost of Hair Transplant in India is on average a dollar per graft to a dollar and a half at reputed centers like Darling Buds. For this tame price you get a world renowned and experienced  doctor who will give you results.  FUE is costlier than FUT (strip). However, the price differential is not as much as at other centers which have still not fully learnt the technique of FUE. They take more time and hence they need to be compensated with more fees. However, FUE shall always be marginally more expensive due to the higher rates of disposables . But never should you for once think by any stretch of imagination that FUE is a better procedure. Both techniques have their own set of usage in select client groups. Many a times both techniques complement each other like in Dr Tejinder Bhatti’s trademarked FLUTE technique which brings home the best of both the worlds. Indulgence of some centers (so called FUE onlt centers) in one technique alone may be detrimental to the interests of a vast majority of clients since this is more because of the physicians limitations than anything else. Here is where you should exert caution. We at Darling Buds do more cases by the FUE technique today, but firmly believe that FUT (strip) still remains the gold standard by which all other methods in the years to come shall be compared.

Should cost be the only reason to choose your Doctor?

No, cost may not reflect the competence of a hair transplant center when trying to locate a doctor in India on the world wide web. The following need to be taken into account-

1. Read the “About Us” page carefully – Credentials never lie. Whatever a doctor may post on his profile, he cannot write fake information on his “About Us” page. Read about the doctor’s credentials- not only on his website but also google his name and see the results. Choosing the right plastic surgeon is 75% of decision making when travelling abroad for a hair transplant.
2. www.ahrsindia.com Check out the website of the Association of Hair Restoration Surgeons of India which hosts the names of the best in the field. The founder members of the association are regarded as the ‘Big Daddies of hair restoration in India’ and hair transplant cost in India amongst these doctors is usually the same.
3. Visit Hair Forum @ www.besthairtransplants.ning.com   Read more about your doctors’ contributions on this peer reviewed  International Forum 
4. www.ishrs.org  Is your doctor accredited by the ISHRS (International Society of Hair Restoration Surgeons) Find out on the website if the doctor is listed.
5. Are the technicians of the doctor accredited by the ISHRS? The names would be there on the same website above.
6. Does the doctor hesitate in showing photographs of his center and the facilities offered?
7. Lastly call the doctor’s office and request to speak to him personally.
8. Ask for travel advice and arrangements for stay. The best centers will take care of you from the time you land in the country till your flight departs back home.
