5 tips to choose the cheapest place for hair transplant
Often people think that cheap hair replacement means poor quality and are afraid to have the procedure at a lower price. Of course, it may take place. However, there are a lot of great offers that can save your money and bring the great result. Below you can find some recommendations, that may help you to choose the best place for cheap hair transplant and minimize risks:
- Check the clinic's certification. You need to get maximum information about a particular hair transplant center. It must have certifications and accreditation that approve the high standards of medical services.
- Doctor's experience. Always check a doctor's CV and find info about his/her education, experience, additional training, and international practice. Some highly-experienced doctors may have thousands of hair transplant on his/her account.
- Choose the most appropriate country. While selecting the cheapest country to get a hair transplant, it is important to understand which region is the most appropriate for you depending on travel time and budget. In some cases, the ticket charges to some countries can increase the total price of hair transplant significantly. Bookimed Care Department provides an assistance to book tickets and accommodation at the lowest price. So, you save time and money.
- Request before and after photos. Before choosing a clinic for hair transplant, it is important to understand what the result you can expect. Before and after photos of patients can help you with this task. If you do not like the outcome, better continue searching for another doctor or a clinic.
- Read patient's reviews. The experience of real people will help to choose the cheapest place for hair transplant without quality loss. You can also read verified feedbacks on Bookimed website.
What does the affordable hair transplant cost depend on?
The price for a hair transplant is individual. Some clinics (like Turkish ones) offer hair transplant package prices, so a patient does not need to worry about any additional charges. But other facilities often provide the initial hair transplant cost, so the final expenses are often higher. There are such factors which affect the hair transplant price:
- Price policy of the country/clinic. If you want to find the cheapest hair transplant in the world, pay attention to countries with affordable price policies. Obviously, that the USA, Canada, Germany, Switzerland and other countries offer expensive medical services because the income of local citizens and social standards of living are very high. Choosing Turkish, Indian, Thai, or hospitals of Eastern Europe, you can save 20-50 % of your money.
- The hair transplant technique. The most common hair transplant methods are FUE and FUT (or strip). The last one is cheaper than FUE because of scarring possibility and higher injury rate. The robotic FUE-ARTAS will be the most expensive one due to the high accuracy (up to 99%) and the greater number of grafts transplanted per one procedure.
- Baldness stage. The higher hair loss grading is, the more grafts are required. The hair transplant will get much cheaper if your area of baldness is small. Only a doctor can say the volume of operation and calculate the final cost.
- Plastic surgeon's experience. As a rule, reputable doctors ask for higher fees. You can choose a specialist with less outstanding reputation and get a cheap hair transplant. But previously, carefully read their CV and patient reviews.
What does the low-cost hair transplant include?
In most of the cases, the hair transplant price includes:
- the procedure itself
- doctor's fees
- required medical consumable materials.
Some clinics offer hair transplant packages which cover expenses for transfer, language assistance, accommodation, and meals. Such "all-inclusive" offers allow saving 10-20% additionally and receiving low-cost hair transplant.
To sum up, the cheapest places for hair transplant without the quality loss are some clinics in India, Turkey, Lithuania, Poland, and the UAE. They have all appropriate certificates that confirm the high level of medical standards available at affordable prices.

Trying to get hair replacement procedure in the USA is not only expensive and behind the expertise that other countries like South Korea or in my case, Turkey, are known for. From day one, Bookimed was extremely responsive and answered all my questions quickly and expertly, while getting me the best price for my hair replacement procedure. I was initially given a quote for Istanbul Plastic Surgery Clinic, but later given an even better rate and consultation with Adem & Havva Hair Clinic. I went with the FUE hair method which is less costly than the newer DHI method, and I believe just as effective, although a little more recovery is needed by about a few days with FUE method. Do your homework on what you want done for your needs and balance the price and see what works for you. Remember that two prices are offered for either procedure: "Shaven head" and "Unshaven head," With the shaven head being the cheaper cost but I believe more sanitary. Unshaven method does look better while you heal (you keep your regular hair) but I just believe removing all hair to allow doctors a clean base for the hair procedure is the best way to go, and cheaper and more sanitary too without sacrificing quality. Your cost will vary depending on your consultation with BookImed that includes sending them pictures with specific instructions. But ultimately the amount of hair grafts you need will determine the final cost. But BookiMed will work to find the very best deal for you based on procedure you've chosen. But compare other clinics if you feel better to see that Bookimed will give you the best rate for comparable procedures from other clinics. I recommend getting to Turkey about 3-4 days early so you can sight see this beautiful country before your hair procedure. They will arrange all transportation and hotel accommodations for you if you wish extra nights and will pick you up at airport and take you to your hair procedures. I cannot stress enough that my visit and my procedure was excellent and I highly recommend Bookimed for hair and even plastic surgery procedures ( I will do a chin lift next). It has only been a week since my procedure was done and can post pics based on my current status of healing. But I have not suffered any issues or side effects and my scalp and hair are healing and growing properly. The clinic will follow my hair process for one year to ensure my hair grows out well and I am completely satisfied. I hope this review helps many of you out there. I want to give a special thank you to Dr. Hassan Jabar from Bookimed, Maryum our hair nursing consultant and coordinator, Serpil Kargin, the Adem and Havva Hair Clinic Office manager, and finally our driver, Mr. Zafer who was very kind and helped me with all my transportation and covid testing needs to return back to the USA.
