What Would be the Cost to Restore Hairline?

This can be treated with the Fleming-Mayer Flap or hair transplants IF you have enough hair that is programmed not to fall out. The balding you have in the future can be extensive. See an experienced hair surgeon to give you the pros/cons of BOTH methods and tell you if you are a good candidate for surgery.

Hair transplant surgeons usually charge by the graft, which can be anywhere from $5 - $12 each. Some charge by the hour, which also varies greatly. But in truth, the cost to restore your hairline will depends on a few factors:


How many grafts you will need (the severity of your hair loss)

How much density you desire

The technique of choice

The surgeon of choice


It sounds like you're suffering male pattern baldness. You were wise to wait until the age of 24 to pursue hair transplant, as being too young (and impatient) could actually prove detrimental in the long run due to the progressive nature of the condition.

 

From your description, it sounds like you are experiencing androgenetic alopecia (AGA, male pattern balding).  You are likely a candidate for hair restoration surgery (hair transplantation) and I recommend that you consult a board-certified dermatologist with extensive experience with hair restoration.  The cost of hair transplantation will depend on your clinical exam (the amount of loss) and your desired outcome. Typically donor hair is taken from the back of the scalp and transplanted to the areas of loss which are typically over the frontal aspect of the scalp and the crown.  There are also other treatment options (ie. Rogaine, Propecia) which are effective for AGA which you doctor can discuss with you as well.
