Local prices read on 6 October 2026 from each clinic's own website. Turkey figures from the Foxpare price index, reviewed 4 October 2026.
Short answer. Two Texas clinics — one in Dallas, one in Austin — publish hair transplant prices on their own websites, and both price per graft. The Dallas clinic states "$4.50 to $6.50 per graft"; the Austin clinic states "the price ranges between $3.50 and $6" per graft, "not including the cost of medicine and post-op care". Neither publishes a package total. On Foxpare's price index, the 33 Istanbul clinics that publish package prices start at a median of €2,390 (≈ $2,683 USD), with the middle half starting between €2,000 and €2,940; most of those packages include the hotel and airport transfers. Whether the difference is worth a 12-hour flight depends on three things the price tags don't show: who performs each step, what is included, and how many grafts you actually need.
What Texas clinics publish
Foxpare records only prices that a clinic states on its own website, quoted as written, with the page and the date. We do not calculate a "Dallas average" or an "Austin average" — two clinics are not a market — and a published rate is not a quote: both clinics below say the final figure depends on your consultation and on how many grafts you need.
| Clinic (own website) | City | Published price, as stated | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dr Jennyfer F. Cocco, MD — 8305 Walnut Hill Ln. Suite 120, Dallas, TX 75231 | Dallas | "The cost of a hair transplant can range from $4.50 to $6.50 per graft, with the price decreasing for those opting for larger numbers of grafts in one session." | Per-graft range; the page says patients may need "anywhere from 500 to 800 grafts for minor coverage, to 3000 or more for extensive hair loss"; tax not stated; plastic surgery practice |
| MAXIM Hair Restoration — 811 Trinity Street Suite A, Austin, TX 78701 | Austin | "With MAXIM, the price ranges between $3.50 and $6, depending on the transplant's complexity."; "$3.50 (starting cost per graft in Austin) x quantity of grafts needed = total transplant cost (not including the cost of medicine and post-op care.)"; "the cost per graft decreases as the number of grafts increases" | Per-graft range from a clinic blog article, not a fee schedule; medicine and post-op care extra; the same article also makes a claim about the "average" per-graft cost in Austin, which we do not treat as data; multi-location chain |
Sources: drcocco.com/hair-transplant-dallas-tx/ · maximhairrestoration.com/blog/austin-hair-transplant-cost-austin-maxim-hair-restoration/ (both read 6 October 2026). Three further Texas clinics we checked (Dallas Hair Transplant Center and AdvancedYOU Hair Restoration in Dallas, Flycatcher in Austin) publish no price of their own — their cost pages describe what Dallas or Austin clinics "may charge" or charge "on average", which is a statement about the market, not a price; four further clinics could not be read. If you are a Dallas or Austin clinic with published prices we missed, tell us and we will add the page.
What Turkish clinics publish
As of 4 October 2026, 38 clinics on Foxpare publish an all-in package price (the remaining providers quote after a consultation). Entry prices run from €891 to €4,500; the overall median is €2,350 (≈ $2,638). For Istanbul alone — 33 of those clinics — the median entry price is €2,390 (≈ $2,683) and the middle half start between €2,000 and €2,940. The published Istanbul packages are typically priced per procedure rather than per graft, and most include the hotel stay and airport–hotel–clinic transfers; what each one includes is listed per package on the price index.
Two things Turkish prices do not tell you, and that we show separately: who performs each step — of the 50 providers that publish package details, 11 state on their own site who opens the channels, extracts or places the grafts; the other 39 do not say — and the clinic's Ministry of Health record status (listed facility, authorised agency, or no match). Turkish law reserves channel opening to a physician and allows certified assistants to extract and place grafts under supervision; the rules are explained article by article in our guide to Turkey's hair transplant regulation.
Comparing like with like
- Per graft vs per package. Both Texas clinics price per graft, and both say the rate falls as the graft count rises; Istanbul packages are mostly flat prices with a graft limit or "any graft count". Ask both for a written quote at your graft count, including every fee.
- Tax. Sales tax does not apply to medical procedures in Texas, and neither clinic states tax on its price page; the Austin clinic does state that medicine and post-op care are not in its per-graft total. Turkish package prices on Foxpare are the amounts the clinics publish; ask whether anything is added at payment.
- Travel. Dallas/Fort Worth has non-stop flights to Istanbul (about 12 hours); Austin is one stop. Add the fare, the days off work and a companion if you want one; most Istanbul packages include 2–3 hotel nights and transfers, which Dallas or Austin quotes do not need to.
- Follow-up. Revision or touch-up work is easier locally. Ask any Turkish clinic what happens, and who pays, if you need a correction.
- The surgeon. In Texas you can check a physician on the Texas Medical Board licence lookup (tmb.state.tx.us) and ISHRS membership at ishrs.org. In Turkey, ask for the physician's name and certificate and check the facility's Ministry record on Foxpare.
Health insurance and hair transplants
US health insurance does not cover cosmetic hair transplantation; the full cost is out of pocket whether you choose Dallas, Austin or Istanbul. That is why it is worth comparing total out-of-pocket cost — procedure, medication and aftercare, travel and follow-up — rather than the headline figure.
Questions to ask both clinics
- What is the total price at my graft count, including tax, medication and aftercare?
- Which physician opens the channels, and who extracts and places the grafts?
- How many operating rooms is that physician responsible for on the day?
- What is included in the package — hotel nights, transfers, PRP — and what is not?
- If I need a correction, what is the policy and the cost?
