Is it worth investigating overseas options for a hair transplant? I guess what I'm asking is this...Are there any technologies or techniques only used outside of the US that makes it worth the time, effort and money to travel overseas for a procedure?
Answer: Cost and follow up In general hair transplant overseas can be less expensive. The techniques should be the same but the results can vary. Even in the United States techniques should be the same but the results can vary.Follow up with your doctor may be an issue if you are traveling overseas. Recourse with a doctor may also be an issue (if you have issues) if you are traveling overseas.No matter what cost or country you have your surgery, a bad hair transplant surgery is like herpes. It's for life.

Answer: The technology is similar. What varies is the oversight. Have you heard of horror stories from other countries cosmetic surgeries? The USA has them also but not at the same rate/frequency. The regulation and oversight here is very high. Now some developed countries are on par to the USA, so its not like any place outside of here is risky.

Answer: US vs overseas Hair Transplants The advantages in places like Turkey and Iran is price per graft. Quality may or may not be good but how do you deal with a poor hair transplant done in Iran or Turkey> In the US, you can file a complaint with the medical board of the state where the doctor practices and in California, the State must investigate your complaint. You have legal recourse, which means that you can sue a doctor who does not do it right, or get your money back. But what recourse is there is such places as Turkey or Iran where the hair transplant mills exist? When something goes wrong, who do you go to? In California if anything ever went wrong, you come to see your surgeon and some are always available 24/7 for patients on their cell. how do you check out the reputation of overseas medical services? I don't know the answer here. Look at the web reference below. Is the quality good? I can't tell.

Answer: Need to travel abroad for hair transplant? I see you live in Los Angeles. While there are many excellent hair transplant surgeons in many countries around the world, I doubt that you would receive better care or have a better end result than you could have right in your home city--to say nothing of the state of California--from any one of a number of well-respected surgeons. And there is a lot to be said for knowing that your doctor is not an ocean or two away when you'd like to have a follow-up visit after the surgery.
