Gentle scab removal session. Grafts are now biologically anchored. The patient can wear a loose bucket hat or cap comfortably.

Day 8 to 10: Safe International FlightStep 05

Grafts are fully secured against cabin pressure. Official Fit-to-Fly certificate issued. Patient safely boards return flight to USA, UK, or Gulf.

Frequently Asked Questions by Expats

How many days do I need to stay in Hyderabad for a hair transplant?

A minimum of 7 to 8 days is ideal for an NRI. This ensures you receive the procedure on Day 2, your first professional foam wash on Day 4, and your scab clearance check on Day 6 or 7 before flying back.

Will airport security or cabin crew question my hair transplant?

By Day 7, swelling has resolved and donor bandage is removed. We provide an official Medical Travel Certificate from Cosmo Radiance confirming your procedure, which satisfies airline authorities and airport security when wearing a loose protective hat.

What is the cost saving for an NRI getting a hair transplant at Cosmo Radiance?

In the US and UK, 3,500 Sapphire FUE grafts cost between $10,000 and $16,000 (£8,000–£12,000). At Cosmo Radiance in Hyderabad, the same US-FDA standard procedure costs between ₹95,000 and ₹1,65,000 ($1,150–$1,980), saving over 80% with superior graft survival rates.
