Beyond the Price Tag

The True Cost of Going Abroad

A lower price per graft can be misleading. When you factor in the full cost of traveling abroad for surgery, the gap narrows significantly.

Round-trip flights
$800 – $1,200
Hotel (5–7 nights)
$500 – $1,000
Time off work (2 weeks)
Varies
Follow-up travel if needed
$800+
Potential revision surgery
$3,000 – $8,000+

When you add it all up, the price gap narrows significantly — and you get the peace of mind of board-certified care, lifetime follow-up, and legal protections right here in the United States.

Plus, we offer 0% financing through Cherry — making Beverly Hills more affordable than you think.

Important to Know

What Happens When Things Go Wrong

We regularly see patients who went abroad and need corrective work. Uneven density, unnatural hairlines, visible scarring, and poor graft survival are common issues we address in our revision practice.

When complications arise after international surgery, patients face a difficult choice: travel thousands of miles back to the original clinic, or find a qualified surgeon locally who can correct the issue. Revision procedures are often more complex and more costly than getting it right the first time.

At Crown Hair Institute, Dr. Truesdale and Dr. Drummond are here for you before, during, and after your procedure — for life. If something doesn't look right, you can be seen the same day. That's the kind of care that's hard to put a price on.
