Cost Comparison - The Cost of a Hair Transplant Versus the Price of a Hair Piece

ByCasey Corine Hutson

As a woman I cannot understand why any man would waste his money on a hairpiece that clearly looks fake instead of investing in a modern day hair transplant. The price of that hairpiece might cost you a date as well as your dignity because when your glue line shows or the hairpiece has faded three shades lighter than your hair, trust me it doesn't look natural. Toupees belong in the past! There is no reason a self-respecting individual should put themselves through the vicious cycle of a non-surgical system by putting on a hairpiece.

The cost of a hair transplant is so much less than the price of a hairpiece. When a toupee costs $1200 for initial installation and on average $500 a month for maintenance, you are looking at paying at least $6,000 a year to have and upkeep a toupee. If you wear this toupee for 4 years you have just spent $24,000 and then what happens after 4 years? Do you go through the trials and frustration of a hairpiece and pay another $24,000? And that's looking at the average cost, sometimes it can be twice as much for upkeep. You do the math.

On the other hand, the average cost of a hair transplant is $12,000. If performed by a full-time hair specialist some people will only need one surgery and a person gets their own hair growing and it looks completely natural with a soft hairline and density. For many people one surgery is all they will ever need and in comparison that is half the cost of only 4 years with a hairpiece. Even if one surgery did not accomplish the density you had hoped for and you need a second surgery, which if performed by a good hair surgeon two should suffice, you have just spent $24,000. The good news is you won't have to pay $24,000 every four years and you will have your own natural looking hair back. No glue. No upkeep fees. No is my hair still on questions, just natural hair you can't wait to show off.

Cost alone should make a hair transplant the obvious choice, but even if that doesn't do it then the idea that your toupee is not as discreet as you want to believe should convince you. For one thing, the amount of time you will spend in and out of the hair facility to do the upkeep on your hairpiece is ridiculous. You will be in and out every couple of weeks, and time is money. Oh, and along with your time and your money, what you are getting in return is a toupee. If you have a hair transplant surgery it takes between 4 to 6 hours and then about two weeks of recovery time. That's it.

Now that we've looked at the cost of a surgical transplant and a non-surgical hairpiece, the important thing for someone to look into before committing to anything should be to do plenty of research before committing to a non-surgical method because it will cost you around $6,000 a year. For instance, a young man at 25 who gets a non-surgical system and is now 30 has now spent $30,000 and is still bald. However, another 25-year-old man who understands the advantages of a modern day hair transplant will save money and have his own hair.

My hair transplant surgery was ruined by Dr Nicholas F Agnesi of Hairline Clinic in Akron and Independence Ohio. He disregarded my specific wishes, wiped the pattern that I drew for him off my head, and got the hairline all wrong.

Dr Nicholas F Agnesi also harvested the wrong hairs from the base of my skull. The hairs he took don't grow well at all. They never have. Not even when I was a teenager. He should have taken the hairs at least on inch higher. They grew much longer and more consistent. Everyone agreed that I had plenty of donor hair but Dr Agnesi didn't bother to take the best hairs. He just rushed through the job and took the wrong hairs at the base of my skull.

When I let Dr Agnesi know what he did wrong, he said that he might be willing to replace the bad hairs after I talk to the president of Hairline Clinic Rob Hoffman. It had to be his call. But when I talked to Rob Hoffman at the Akron location, he refused to even look at the bad work. He just pretended everything was fine and refused to do anything about it. No fix. No refund.

I knew those hairs would never grow well. But they would take up space and make a future transplant (a fix) more difficult. So I was left with no choice but to rip all those bad grafts out myself before they healed. It was a nightmare but I got it done. Now I'm out thousands of dollars and I have nothing to show for it but a bad memory and a nasty scar at the base of my skull.

Dr Nicholas F Agnesi also works for Advanced Hair Restoration of Ohio.

Now I'm talking to an attorney and trying to find a new HT doctor who will do what I wish, take their time and pay attention to detail.
