Hair transplants can be dangerous but most hair transplants are pretty safe and most people who do have hair transplants have them without any issues.

However the problems that can sometimes occur after having a hair transplant are bleeding and infections.

Scarring can also occur sometimes but most hair transplants are pretty successful without any issues.

If you do get any bleeding or infections then see your doctor or go to the emergency room or urgent care.

The cost of both a woman's and a man's hair transplant is between $4,000.00 to $15,000.00 depending on how much hair needs transplanted and where you have the hair transplant done.

For a smaller hair transplant the cost is around $4,000.00 to $5,000.00 but if you need more hair transplanted over a larger area then the cost can be as high as $10,000.00 to $15,000.00

That cost for the hair transplant is not covered by most health insurance plans because a hair transplant is considered to be a cosmetic procedure and not a medical necessity.

Medical necessary procedures are usually covered by health insurance but any medical procedure that is considered to be cosmetic are not covered by health insurance.

That means that for the hair transplant you will be required to pay for the hair transplant out of pocket.
