Is hair transplant procedure the same in USA and Mexico?

Your doctor may speak Spanish in Mexico, otherwise the surgery "should" be the same as in the U.S.  If you are concerned about the quality of doctors or the techniques, it is highly variable even in the SAME CITY.

In general, the overall technique will be similar in the USA and Mexico, but it's important to remember that there is a whole lot more to achieving a great result than simply the 'recipe' for doing transplants.Hair Transplants differ a bit from office to office even in the same city. The way we do hair transplants is different than the way hair transplants are done just a few blocks up the street.  This is so important to be aware of so patients ask the right questions when they visit their surgeon's office.Questions to think about or ask?1. Does the office to FUE or strip or both?2. What instruments are used to remove grafts by FUE?3. What instruments are used to make recipient sites (needles or blades)?4. How close does the doctor like to pack the grafts? What density does he or she hope to achieve?5. Who takes the hair from the back of the scalp - the doctor? a robot? the technicians?6. Who makes the recipient sites (holes) in the front or top of the scalp - the doctor? the technicians?No two surgeons do hair transplants exactly the same!

Modern hair transplant involves grafting hairs as follicular units, handling the grafts carefully to ensure survival, and planning and designing hairlines that will stand the test of time. The International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery holds regular educational meetings. If your doctor is a member and has adequate experience and training-that is a good start.

A Hair transplant is not a Pepsi i.e the same thing in different stores.  It is very dependent on the method and approach to the procedure. You can get people that do everything right, or those that do everything wrong.  So many variables exist in a hair transplant that it is good to first do a lot of research on the place you want doing your transplant.

A hair transplant is a hair transplant no matter what country you are in.The techniques for this are well defined and the doctors hopefully will follow the Standard of Care no matter what country they are in. We have an International society (ISHRS) where doctors from all over the world come and share their experiences. If anyone has a 'better mousetrap' they can present it at the annual meeting and publish it in medical journals as it is the responsibility for every doctor to educate their colleagues. So to answer your questions, a Hair Transplant in the US should be identical to a hair transplant in Mexico. What differentiates the two may be the experience and the skill of the doctors and their surgical team. The techniques must all fall within the Standard of Care and that is a world-wide standard.
