What’s the hair transplant cost in Pakistan?

Pakistan is among the lesser-known destinations for medical tourism. Although the country has a deficit of medical doctors, it is among the known destinations for hair transplants. In addition, it is an emerging medical tourism destination.

Pakistan has some benefits like all hair transplant surgeons can speak English. Many of them also have international exposure to hair transplant surgery.

However, the main reason anyone would consider hair transplant or follicular unit transplantation (FUT/FUE) in Pakistan is the hair transplant cost.

1. Hair transplants cost in Pakistan is lower at first glance, but there are hidden expenses

It would be naive to think that hair transplant costs would be significantly lower in Pakistan. Generally, clinics in Pakistan have very untransparent pricing.

In Pakistan, hair transplants cost ranges up to £5,000 (converted from USD).

In Poland, at our hair transplant clinic, the charge for the procedure of transplanting hair follicles can be as cheap as £2,400.

And it’s done by the award-winnning Dr Marwan Saifi.

Do not expect any additional free services in Pakistan.

In Pakistan, it is common practice to add other costs to the final receipt like the cost of consumables used during surgery, service cost of nurses, and other helping staff.

Unlike Pakistan, prices in countries like Poland are very transparent, and one can know beforehand how much things will cost. Hair transplant clinics would provide many additional services in Poland for free, which may even include overnight stay facilities.

2. Travelling to Pakistan may be a hassle

The total hair transplant cost depends on the travel costs, too. For example, travelling to Pakistan from Europe or the US may be difficult.

This is because very few good airlines operate between Pakistan and Europe, and quite often, people have to take connecting flights via the gulf countries.

Likewise, finding the right place to stay may be challenging. Though Pakistan has beautiful places to visit, but they are far from cities where hair transplant clinics are located.

At Europe Surgery, our hair transplant surgeon can walk you through your journey, providing specialist guidance whenever needed, and we’ll also provide you with accommodation so you can begin your recovery journey after your hair transplant surgery.

3. There can be security issues in Pakistan

It is especially true for Westerners, as they are often the target of violent crimes. This is not to say that Pakistan is unsafe, but relative to Europe or countries like Poland, it is much less safe.

Additionally, some people may also face some issues due to cultural gaps. Pakistani cuisine, language, and cultural practices are quite different from Europe.

Some may enjoy these differences. However, many may find it difficult, especially when visiting the Pakistan for a hair transplant.

4. Unlike in western countries, the risk of post-cosmetic surgery complications is higher

It is another crucial thing to understand. Regretfully, hair transplant clinics and hair restoration specialists sometimes fail to take adequate precautions resulting in local infections.

However, at Europe Surgery, we take cosmetic surgery incredibly serious.

As a result, the rate of post-hair transplant complications in Pakistan is much higher when compared with Europe or Poland. When searching the internet, you can find many reports of severe hair transplant complications in Pakistan.

It appears that many clinics in Pakistan do not follow high hygiene standards. Additionally, in Pakistan, there is a greater risk of antibiotic-resistant infections.

If you go to Pakistan for a hair transplant, you might save some money, but the quality would be compromised.
