It is based on the amount of hair that has to be transplant and how much work the Dr. has to do. Generally insurance is not cover this procedure is not considered a medical necessity. Hair transplantation surgery does have some arrests considering it is surgery, however the rest are very rarely life-threatening. They usually include infection with the risk of bleeding. Scarring or hair growth that doesn’t look natural can also be something that happens at times.

Some people get inflammation or infection on their scalp, this is called folliculitis and it occasionally happens with some people. Antibiotics are usually an effective cure for this. Sometimes the transplanted hair can suddenly fallout, the term for this is called shock loss. The good thing is, if this does happen to the rare person is usually not permanent.
