I think its more dependent on the availability region, rate of hair loss, type of treatment, cost and how far you wish to go to get one. Prices could range from 4000-20000USD in western countries. I know that there are places in Turkey that offer hair transplant at a cheaper price (from what I vaguely remember).

From what I have read hair transplants are permanent, this is due to the fact that hair around the back of the head which is used for the transplant are not effected by DHT similar to that of body hair. Di-HydroTestosterone (DHT) is the main cause of hair loss on the top of the head, but hairs that are not effected by this hormone are used and therefore should not fall out.

If you can afford it, I recommend you go ahead.

I could count on 2 hands the amount of people I know who went to Turkey for hair transplants. That seems to be the place.
