Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a 3000 graft hair transplant cost in NZ?
A 3000 graft hair transplant in New Zealand costs $24,000-$36,000 for FUE, $18,000-$30,000 for FUT, and $30,000-$45,000 for DHI in 2026. Wellington prices start from $18,000, making it one of the more affordable regions for larger procedures.
What can 3000 grafts cover?
3000 grafts covers significant hair loss, typically Norwood scale 4-5. This includes: full frontal hairline plus mid-scalp, complete crown restoration, or comprehensive coverage of the entire front two-thirds of the scalp. Provides approximately 6000-9000 hairs.
Is 3000 grafts done in one session?
Yes, 3000 grafts can be done in one session with FUE, though it's a full-day procedure (8-10 hours). Some clinics prefer splitting into two sessions for patient comfort. FUT can harvest 3000 grafts more quickly in a single session.
How much does 3000 grafts cost in Wellington specifically?
In Wellington, 3000 graft hair transplants cost $18,000-$33,000 depending on the technique. FUT is typically $18,000-$27,000, FUE runs $22,000-$33,000. Several Wellington clinics offer competitive pricing and payment plans starting from $400/month.
What's the recovery time for 3000 grafts?
Recovery follows a similar timeline to smaller procedures but the donor area takes slightly longer to heal. Initial recovery: 10-14 days. Return to work: 7-10 days. The larger area means more scabbing initially. Full results visible at 12-18 months.
Is 3000 grafts enough for full head coverage?
3000 grafts provides excellent coverage for most patients with Norwood 4-5 hair loss. For very advanced hair loss (Norwood 6-7), you may need 4000-5000+ grafts. Your surgeon will assess your specific needs during consultation.
