Cost

This is one of the most important issues for all of us searching for the best hair transplant clinics in the world. If you are making search for abroad, than it means price matters for you. Especially the economic damage in the world with increasing inflation during and possible after these pandemic years.

You should also bear in mind that price shouldn’t always be your guide. You can get offers with much lower cost than the average prices, but cheap treatments can cause problems and may mean that there may be some compromise in the skill of the doctor or the quality of the treatment.

Where I’ll find out and compare the hair transplant prices worldwide?

Experience of the Clinics & Surgeons

This is the 2nd very important issue. Experience of the clinics, surgeons, dermatologists, medical stuff, and technicians will be very very effective for getting your hair back. You should choose a reputed surgeon, clinic or hospital for your hair loss treatment and surgery.

Experience also means the number of patients’ that the surgeons and clinics did have. What does it mean? Well a country can have very reputed and high class surgeons and clinics. But if this country is not getting good number of medical tourists for hair transplant surgeries, than the experience may start to fade.

If you do a job for about hundred thousands of times, than you are the greatest one that can do it with even eyes shut when compared to the ones do the same job only hundreds of times. And this means that we should be looking for the countries that has the most annual hair transplant surgeries worldwide. ;)

You should know that in many countries by law, hair transplantation surgeries should be done by dermatologists, plastic surgeons or physicians with medical aesthetics medicine certificate.

The number of plastic surgeons in the country, the number of International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery (ISHRS) members of the country, plus the number of Joint Commission International (JCI) accredited hospitals in the country can give you an inspiration of which country can have the best hair transplant surgeons, clinics and hospitals in the world. But this is not a critical issue, as it may command the price to the upwards.

How I’ll determine it?

Well, we assume that you did narrow your search with a country for a hair transplant, and trying the find best hair transplant clinics and surgeons. What we all do is to make a search on google for “best hair transplant clinics in …”

What you will get is the name and websites of the clinics and surgeons listed on google, plus several ones’ ads. You’ll see them on top. That looks fine. Ok! but how you’ll proceed?

Here comes another group of metrics. In our point of view, you should check out the surgeon or clinic’s;

– Reviews and comments from several authority websites such as Google’s own comments, Trustpilot, Proven Expert, etc. Here you should also bear in mind that several very very good and exaggerated comments may be fake.

On the other hand bad comments should not always mean that the clinic or surgeon is a bad one. You know happy people won’t comment while unhappy ones very greedily hit the bad comments.

– Official website to see what they offer, references, before and afters, website’s design and social media shares (especially on Instagram) to understand their interest and devotion with their job.

– Recommendations or reviews from the insider or local influencer blogs or websites. We always find this very useful because insiders should know and compare all the pros and cons, like us ;) , as they lived in the city for more than 20-30 years, and has experience.

Insider websites or blogs will also inspire you and make you able to narrow your search on Internet from about 40-50 clinics and surgeons to 10-15. Than you should listen to your heart in connection with logic and mind, contact the clinic to understand their service quality, communications skills, their experience, and request free consultation with pricing and offers to decide which one to chose.

Post-surgery Care

This is an important issue. You should ask the clinic or doctor about the post surgery care details. Majority of the good clinics and surgeons offer at least 6 months to 1 year free post surgery care for their patients.

Accommodation + Transfers + Language Assistance

This is an additional or bonus issue. When you get a hair transplant package price including the accommodation at 4-5-star hotels for at least 3 days, transfers from airport, your hotel, the clinic, plus language assistance, than this will be a superb offer to evaluate.

Cost of Living

Cost of living can be an important issue. You may ask “why?”. It is because you’ll stay in the city about 3 days for your hair transplantation. And you’ll have lots of free time for possible leisure activities such as visiting the top sights and attractions, eating out, shopping and night time entertainment. So it would be a good option to choose a city with less cost of living to save money.

To check out the cities cost of living statues worldwide, you can use the Mercer Cost of Living Survey. (see 2020 list from mercer.com) It is a survey that measures the costs of more than 200 items in comparison such as the costs of housing, transportation, food, clothing, house goods, entertainment and more.

Obtaining Visa

The difficulty or easiness in obtaining the visa for the country you’ll visit for your hair transplantation is also another metric. It may not be that important but waiting at the borders of some difficult countries can really be a mess.
