Getting a Hair Transplant in Thailand - The Good and
the Bad
It is commonly knowledge that many people travel to Thailand to been seen for
plastic surgery and for hair transplant procedures. They are known for providing
the very best in medical care so they are leading the industry in these areas.
However, there are some good and bad issues to be aware of
 before you head off
to Thailand.
Since Thailand offers such amazing health care services, they offer surgeons
who have trained in Europe or North America. They are certified in specialty
areas including hair transplants. Many of them belong to the International
Society of Hair Restoration Surgeons. They offer the same types of hair
transplant procedures as the United States. You can choose from FUE, micro or
mini transplants, FUT, or a combination to get the best results. Thailand
surgeons do take on other procedures that many United States surgeons don’t
including beard transplants and body hair construction.
The process of scheduling a hair transplant in Thailand is very simple. You
can fill out the paperwork and then soon be scheduled for the surgery. You won’t
have to wait for weeks or months as you do in North America. Probably the most
common reason individuals choose to have their hair transplant done in Thailand
is the difference in the cost. Almost all insurance companies refuse to cover
such procedures so the individual has to pay it on their own.
The cost in the United States ranges from $2,500 up to $10,000 depending on
the procedure and the number of grafts to complete. If you chose to do it in
Thailand, you can cover the surgery, your travel including
 hotel and still be
saving a considerable amount of money. Many people choose to schedule a vacation
in Thailand prior to the hair transplant as an added bonus.
The largest drawback to getting a
hair transplant in Thailand is the distance you are from the surgeon should
you experience any complications. It will be hard to schedule another trip so
soon to see them if you need to. Most people are willing to take that chance
though because hair transplants and cosmetic surgeries are safe, easy, and cost
less than in the United States. If you decide to do this, make sure you take the
time to do a reference check on the surgeon, get any questions you have answered
before you schedule the procedure, and talk to others who have used that same
surgeon. Try to schedule some vacation time in Thailand as well!
