1,000 grafts hair transplant: cost, results and who had it
What a transplant of about 1,000 grafts costs and looks like, from two kinds of source: the prices clinics in our doctor directory publish, and what patients wrote about their own procedure on reddit (r/HairTransplants and r/tressless). We counted 41 people who had surgery and stated a graft count between 900 and 1,100, each person once.
What 1,000 grafts cost: published per-graft prices
Per-graft prices that doctors in each country publish on their own websites, multiplied by 1,000. A range is the cheapest to the dearest published rate in that country, not an average. Package prices without a graft count are left out here; the country pages show them.

Figures from the last two years, as patients wrote them (currency as stated). Not an average and not a price list: inclusions and exchange rates differ, and a doctor is named only when the thread names them. Prices rise with a doctor's reputation, so compare like with like.
Who had about 1,000 grafts
Too few of these people stated their Norwood stage to break it down. See graft counts by Norwood stage.
Technique, where they named it: FUE 13, FUT 3 (16 people).
Crown: 1 of these people's own threads mentions the crown in the title. How far 1,000 grafts go depends on how they are split between hairline, mid-scalp and crown; ask the clinic how many it plans for each zone. How many grafts patients put in the crown.
From patients' own posts, as extracted from the thread: one person counts once, whatever their number of updates. These are people who chose to post, not a clinical sample.

Frequently asked
How much does a 1,000-graft hair transplant cost?
It depends mostly on the country and the doctor. The table above multiplies every published per-graft rate by 1,000, per country, with the cheapest and dearest rate shown rather than an average; the patient figures show what individual people say they paid. For a number you can rely on, ask the clinic for a written quote and what it includes.
Is 1,000 grafts enough for me?
Whether it is enough depends on your donor area, how far your loss has gone and how dense you want the result, so a surgeon decides after examining you. Compare graft counts by Norwood stage.
Can 1,000 grafts be done in one session?
That is the surgeon's call, based on your donor area and their technique. Ask how many grafts they plan to move in one day and who performs each step.
