Perhaps a decade or two ago, travelling to India for a medical procedure might have been a taboo. People, especially from a developed country might still have had reservations about travelling to Asia for treatment. But today things have changed drastically.
Owed to the availability of world-class healthcare services provided by some of the hospitals, and also the availability of top-notch doctors, and affordable costs, today India is a hotspot for medical tourists. In fact, India doctors are considered to be at par with the best doctors in the world, in terms of experience and training.
Earlier medical tourism in the country was restricted to patients from the neighbouring countries, the Middle East and Africa. But today patients from Europe and the U.S. are looking to India especially for cosmetic procedures that are not covered by insurance in their home countries.
Medical tourists are coming tothe country for a variety of advanced procedures ranging from spine and brain surgery, cancer treatment, in vitro fertilisation (IVF), joint replacement surgery, heartand liver transplant, and bone marrow transplants.
Hair transplant procedures available in India
Both the follicular unit transplantation (FUT) and follicular unit extraction (FUE) methods are available for hair transplant in India for all.
Surgeons are trained in both FUE and FUT. FUE involves harvesting follicles one by one by using micro-punchesfrom the patient’s donor site, and implanting them into the area of hair loss.Clinics also offer body hair transplant, which allows follicles to be harvested from other sites on the body like beard, chest and the upper back.
While, FUT involves extracting a strip of scalpfrom the back or sides of the head, dissecting it into individual grafts, andtransplanting them in the bald spots.
Why choose India
Thousands of patients suffering hair loss and baldness come to Indian clinics each year to avail their services. While cost is a major factor determining people’s decision to look east for these treatments, it is also the quality of surgeons and the availability of excellent facilities that makes India a preferred option.
In terms of cost, a transplant will cost about - Rs 30,000 to Rs 1, 00,000 (depending onthe number of hair grafts), which is roughly about $450-$1500. The cost is significantly lower than many countries in the West. In the U.S. for instance, such a procedure will come up to about $4,000-$16,000, which makes it unaffordable for many people.
Secondly, the surgeons in India are experienced to deal with the specific needs of patients from different racial and ethnic groups. The facilities available in the clinics in the metros like Delhi or Mumbai are as good as those available in the best clinics in the U.S. In fact many hospitals meet therequirements of U.S. health standards like Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
Thirdly, India has a lot to offer if you are looking at your hair transplant surgery as step to begin a new chapter in life, and recuperate peacefully while your new follicles settle. Within a small budget you can afford the services of an experienced surgeon and clinic, and also a holiday alongside to recuperate, if you are so inclined. India can be a truly eclectic experience; you can choose to relax on a houseboat in the backwaters of Kerala, live like a royal in Rajasthan, or take in the majestic Himalayas in Kashmir.
The important thing is to do thorough research on the doctor and the clinic, and look up the testimonials on their website. You must also share your medical history with the surgeon and set a consultation on Skype or over the phone. It is also advisable to check the clinic’s credentials and ensure they have facilities for you to stay before and after surgery. Else find a hotel in the vicinity. Do your due diligence, and choose a time of the year when the weather is pleasant as it gets very hot in the summer in most cities.
