Traction alopecia on temples (edges) please give me an estimated quote for hair transplant. (photos)

Question

My edges (temples) have been bald since childhood. This is a direct loss due to tight pigtail ponytail hair styles done on me by my mother. My hair loss is not due to any genetic of hormonal issue. I haven't experienced any other hair loss aside from the loss on my temples. I will travel outside of the U.S for a cheaper price! Please help me. I would like to be able to wear my hair in any style with confidence. I'm ready to get this procedure done as soon as possible.

hair transplant in your case will restore the hairline. You will need to have a  suitable donor area. You will need between 1500 to 1800 hair follices to restore the a good density. The best way to do it is using the ARTAS to harvest the hair. It performs the FYE method robotic. Cost will be around 8000 dollars.

This history and the location is classic for a genetic problem called 'Triangular Alopecia'. It can be easily transplanted, as this is the best treatment for it. It is not caused by pulling of your hair but it is a genetic issue.

Hello
What you have is a typical turban traction alopecia. It is difficult to give any price , since pricing depends on the geographical location, and experience of the doctor. In India, generally such a transplant will cost about 1500-2000 USD
