Some patients travel to save money on the procedure; some do not have access to hair transplant surgeons locally; and some, such as many of our patients here at Limmer Hair Transplant Center (LHTC), travel to receive care from expert surgeons and hair transplant technicians. Comprehensive care from an experienced hair transplant specialist and clinic staff can make traveling for your surgery an appropriate and exciting option.

Even though hair transplant surgeries may not be as invasive as other cosmetic surgeries, you always run the risks of side effects. Any time you cut into the skin to perform an operation there’s a chance that the wound could become infected, no matter how small.
