Hair transplant: what it costs and who is a candidate
A bald man is considering surgery. He has worked out that two procedures at one of Turkey's best clinics would cost him around €7,000-8,000. His dream was Dr. De Freitas, but it is more expensive and the waiting list is long. A dermatologist has already confirmed that he is perfectly operable with two surgeries.
Cost is one thing; eligibility is another. Not everyone qualifies: you need a sufficient supply of donor trinc, usually at the back and sides of the head. Some clinics offer transplants using body hair (armpits, chest and even the pubic area), although results vary.
Is it worth it for health reasons? The patient argues that baldness forces him to protect himself from the sun every day, so the investment pays off in the long run. The €7,000-8,000 estimate for two operations seems realistic, but extras (travel, accommodation, post-operative medication) can push up the bill.
