Who will perform my initial consultation, procedure and follow up? Answer: Dr. Vories will meet with you -- or if you prefer-- you and your spouse for the initial consultation, which is complimentary. Together, you will discuss your expectations, a recommended course of action and a treatment plan. On the day of your procedure you’ll meet other members of our surgical team, comprised of three surgical technicians. Dr. Vories is involved at every stage of the process and follow-ups will be with him as well.
Will my results look Pluggy? Answer: Absolutely not. The “Pluggy / Baby Doll” look of methods used decades ago was caused by grouping large numbers of hair follicles and placing those groups some distance from each other. The Transfollic Technique® precisely transplants individual hair follicles, which restores a soft, closely-spaced and natural looking hairline.
What much does the procedure cost? Answer: Hair restoration surgery has become very affordable. The cost of each procedure varies with the extent of thinning area to be restored, and is determined by Dr. Vories during your consultation. A typical patient’s restoration cost ranges between $5000 and $7500, with no interest financing available from Care Credit and Chase.
Minimum surgical fee (under 1000 grafts) $4000.00. 1000 grafts @ $5.00 per graft $5000.00 - usually hairline cases only. 2000 grafts @ $5.00 per graft $10,000.00 -usually covering hairline and mid-scalp. 3000 grafts @ $3.00 per graft (over 2000 grafts) $13,000.00 -usually covering hairline, mid-scalp and crown. 4000 grafts @ $3.00 per graft (over 2000 grafts) $16,000.00 -usually denser coverage of hairline, mid-scalp, and crown, dependent upon donor density. 5000 grafts @ $3.00 per graft (over 2000 grafts) $19,000.00 -most density possible in hairline, mid-scalp, and crown, dependent upon donor density.
