Oklahoma has a modest hair transplant market centered around Oklahoma City and Tulsa, with a small number of dedicated providers in each metro area. The state's proximity to Dallas, one of the largest hair restoration markets in the South, gives Oklahoma residents access to additional options. Still, proximity bias causes 62% of patients to choose suboptimal local clinics, making it important to compare broadly.

Hair Transplant Landscape in Oklahoma
Oklahoma's hair restoration market is smaller than neighboring Texas but serves the state's population through practices in the two main metro areas:
- Oklahoma City: The largest concentration of hair transplant providers in the state, with dedicated clinics and multi-specialty practices offering FUE and FUT
- Tulsa: The state's second-largest city, with a smaller selection of providers but growing options
- Norman / Edmond: Suburban areas near Oklahoma City where some providers may maintain offices
- Rural Oklahoma: Patients outside the OKC and Tulsa metros typically travel to one of these cities or to Dallas, Texas
What to Evaluate in Oklahoma Clinics
- ISHRS membership: Verify through the official ISHRS directory to confirm the surgeon specializes in hair restoration
- Annual case volume: In a smaller market, ask how many hair transplant procedures the surgeon completes per year
- Technique availability: Confirm whether the clinic offers FUE, FUT, and DHI, as not all Oklahoma practices provide every method
- Dallas comparison: Schedule at least one consultation with a Dallas-area clinic (approximately 3 hours south of OKC) for pricing and recommendation comparison
- Before and after gallery: Request results from patients with similar hair loss patterns and Norwood stages
Cost Expectations in Oklahoma
Oklahoma pricing follows standard US rates, with some clinics offering competitive pricing due to lower overhead:
| Norwood Stage | Grafts Needed | Oklahoma Cost ($4-$6/graft) |
|---|---|---|
| Norwood 2 | 800 to 1,500 | $3,200 to $9,000 |
| Norwood 3 | 1,500 to 2,200 | $6,000 to $13,200 |
| Norwood 4 | 2,500 to 3,500 | $10,000 to $21,000 |
| Norwood 5 | 3,000 to 4,500 | $12,000 to $27,000 |
| Norwood 6 | 4,000 to 6,000 | $16,000 to $36,000 |
| Norwood 7 | 5,500 to 7,500 | $22,000 to $45,000 |
Oklahoma's lower cost of living may result in some clinics pricing at the lower end of the standard US range. Financing plans are commonly available.
Procedure Options in Oklahoma
| Technique | Max Grafts/Session | Recovery | Scarring |
|---|---|---|---|
| FUE | Up to 5,000 | 7 to 10 days | Small dot scars |
| FUT | Up to 4,000 | 10 to 14 days | Linear scar |
| DHI | Up to 3,500 | 7 to 10 days | Minimal dot scars |
All three techniques achieve 90% to 95% graft survival rates. Confirm technique availability with individual Oklahoma clinics during your consultation.
Alternatives to Consider
Oklahoma patients frequently explore:
- Dallas, Texas: One of the largest hair transplant markets in the southern United States, approximately 3 hours from Oklahoma City with extensive surgeon options
- Kansas City, Missouri: Another regional option for patients in northern Oklahoma
- Medical tourism: Turkey ($1 to $2 per graft) and Mexico ($2 to $4 per graft) offer significant cost savings for patients willing to travel
- Non-surgical treatments: Finasteride (80% to 90% halt further loss), minoxidil (40% to 60% regrowth), and PRP ($500 to $2,000 per session) may be appropriate depending on hair loss stage
Know Your Norwood Stage Before Consulting
