FUT Hair Transplant Cost in Islamabad

The cost of FUT hair transplant in Islamabad is typically around PKR 95000. The total cost of a hair transplant depends on the number of grafts, level of baldness, donor density and complexity and can range from PKR 95,000 to PKR 160,000.

These figures are estimates, not fixed quotations. At Hair Transplant Islamabad, Dr. Adnan Bashir examines the scalp and calculates the required follicular-unit grafts before confirming the final price.

FUT Hair Transplant Cost in Islamabad

One of the prime things that determine the cost of hair transplant in Pakistan is the number of grafts.

Estimated Graft Requirement Price Estimate
Starting FUT procedure From PKR 95,000
1,000 grafts PKR 100,000 to 110,000
1,500 grafts Around PKR 115,000
2,000 grafts PKR 120,000 to 125,000
3,000 grafts PKR 130,000 to 160,000

Royal Cosmetic Surgery has quoted general hair transplant prices, which are between PKR 95,000 and PKR 160,000. As estimates vary from page to page on the web, patients should check with the clinic for pricing for FUT.

What Does the Quoted Price Include?

Avoid a cheap FUT hair transplant in Islamabad without requesting a written quotation. Do you include?:

  • Surgeon and medical-team fees
  • Local anesthesia
  • Operating-room charges
  • Hairline planning
  • Donor strip harvesting
  • Graft preparation and grafting in, pot or grafting out.
  • Preoperative medical tests
  • Prescribed medicines
  • Wardrobe and removal of sutures
  • Postoperative appointments
  • Supportive treatments (PRP, etc.).

The best rate advertised does not necessarily reflect the final treatment fee. The surgeon’s involvement, precautions taken in the handling of the graft, and postoperative care is more significant than just a discount.

What Makes the Final FUT Cost?

Required Hair Grafts

A bald spot at the crown and mid-scalp and a balding hairline will need more grafts than a small receding hairline. The more grafts, the more surgical and technical work will be needed.

Donor Hair Quality

The surgeon checks the donor density, thickness of hair, flexibility of the scalp and safe donor zone. If the donor area is limited, or weak, then it can be difficult to get enough grafts for the recipient area.

Hair-Loss Pattern

Hair transplantation does not prevent any further hair loss, whether progressive male or female pattern hair loss occurs. The surgeon needs to take into account natural hair changes with time.

Primary or Corrective Transplant

If the unnatural hairline, sub-optimal graft growth, scarring or loss of scalp from prior surgery necessitates more careful planning, the overall expense of the procedure will be higher.

Surgeon’s Experience

The key factors in the natural hair restoration process are hairline design, follicular-unit handling, the direction of the hair grafts and long-term management of the donor area. These skills have the potential to impact pricing and outcomes.

How Does FUT Work?

The follicular unit transplantation (also known as FUT or the strip method) is a surgical process that involves removing a narrow strip of scalp that has hair follicles.

Incisions are closed resulting in a linear donor scar. The strip will then be subdivided, using magnification, into individual follicular-unit grafts. These grafts are placed in strategically planned recipient areas, where their hair will blend seamlessly with the surrounding hair.

FUT can give a large number of grafts in one procedure and will create a linear donor scar. The scar may be visible around the hair, but its end form depends upon the hair.

FUT or FUE | Which Is More Cost-Effective?

Grafts are derived from a single strip of donor tissue and FUT is often more affordable. When using FUE, follicular units are extracted one at a time, meaning that it takes longer to harvest them.

FUT FUE
Donor strip is removed Grafts are extracted individually
Leaves a linear scar Leaves numerous small extraction scars
Often provides a high graft yield Useful for selected patients wanting short hairstyles
Usually less donor shaving Donor shaving is commonly required
May have a lower starting price Often has a higher price

If there is a great number of grafts, it can be helpful with FUT, but with FUE, there is no single linear scar.

Cheap is not always the best option when it comes to FUT. Dr. Adnan Bashir is able to evaluate donor density, existence of scalp laxity, hairstyle, scarring history, and hair loss future before making a recommendation for either FUT or FUE.

Advantages & Limitations Of FUT

Some of the possible advantages of a FUT hair transplant are:

  • Grafting of numerous grafts at the same time.
  • Use of permanent donor areas is efficient.
  • When well planned, natural looking placement occurs
  • Regularly shaved with a limited amount of hair for selected patients
  • Hair loss on the crown or crown area.
  • Affordable procedures cost more than FUE procedures.
  • Long-lasting growth from surviving grafts

The linear scar is the main drawback. FUT might not be right for the person who has an extremely short cut in their hair, tight scalp, poor healing or raised scars. There is no such thing as a truly scarless hair transplant and no surgeon will say that he/she can give you unlimited hair transplants, 100% density, or results that will be the same for everyone.

Recovery and Results

After a FUT operation, the area may feel tender, swollen, scabbed over, tight and feel numb at times. Surgery is performed and sutures or staples are taken out as directed by the surgeon.

Transplanted hairs will often fall out in the first few weeks. The new growth will generally develop slowly in the subsequent months. There may be improvements in density and maturity of the hair for about 9 to 12 months.

Patients should protect the grafts, avoid scratching and pause strenuous exercise as instructed. If suffering from increased pain, pus, fever, excessive bleeding or worsening redness, this should be reported promptly.
