No.

I first went to one clinic two years ago (LASIK MD in Montreal), I didn't go for since they were using a quaint method which worried me, the total cost would have been CAN$ 3,500. I went to a second clinic a year later the Florida Vision Institute, which used a more advanced method, they turned me down because they don't like to operate on people with amblyopia, they would have charged US$ 4,500.

The cost varies depending on the method, the quality of the doctor, if you're doing both eyes, and your specific eye issues. I have both myopia and astigmatism, in both eyes, so that elevates the cost.

Alternatively you can do a simple google search.
Average cost of laser eye surgery is $2500 per eye, but ranges between $300 an eye and $4000 an eye. In order to cover both eyes, you have to multiple by two:

You have a lot of aggression by the way. I was not even speaking to you, yet randomly you are calling me a liar. If what I'm saying doesn't make sense to you, consider asking for a clarification and explaining why you're perplexed, rather going "lol liar dumbass gymcell me I'm so smart and I never had these problems". Good for you. But my experiences based on two different clinics are correct and are backed up by a simple internet search.

What? I didn't even quoted your post just expressed my experience with LASIK and its price.

I had astigmatism from the birth and it was a complication with LASIK but everything went perfectly. Not sure about myopia.

I just went, did a check and made a 5 minutes surgery in a few days.

2900€ for PRK in Belgium.

That's not cheaper. You should stop posting on anything that involves money, math, or science.

2900 Euros (let's pretend that cost is correct, they typically charge a different price to everybody), add $1,300 for a round trip plane ticket, makes $4,500, which is exactly the same cost as doing it in the USA. So it comes out to be the same cost, not including the cost of hotels, taxis, taking a week off, et cetera.

I am not going to pay more money to do the surgery in Belgium.

Regardless though -- please stop posting about money. You do well financially because your mother and your government covers most of your bills. That's not insightful. It's very well known that kids do better financially when parents pay for everything.

It's well known that laser eye surgery companies list the lowest possible price on their website. The charge then potentially goes up drastically depending on what your condition is. Since you don't have myopia, you paid a lower price.

I am happy for you that you were able to get adequate treatment that you needed at an affordable cost.

As for not quoting my post, you wrote:
"lol at your surgery prices..."
I'm the only one who listed surgery prices, so it's obvious who you're referring to.

********

Regardless, I do not feel like debating the issue further with two antagonistic individuals who are interested in fighting. It's not interesting to me, nor to others. I've done my research on what things cost. I can get some of these but maybe not all, so I will consider the priorities carefully and make up my mind in the next few weeks.

This is what things cost, all figures approximate:
Hair transplant: US$ 7,000, because my mother won't be paying half
Braces: US$ 6,000
LASIK, US$ 4,500
Hernia surgery $2,000
Having more confidence: $75 for a bottle of good whiskey

Some of it may be covered by health insurance or subsidized by health insurance. I'm going to think about it.

So now even my money is not real.

I've never had sex with a woman, I've never had a relationship, and I have never earned any money.

I've been lying about everything on this forum for now 7 years.
What will you say next? I was never bald? My hair transplant pictures are fake?
That you never went to the moon.

Again, you're the only one who has a problem with me.

That's the worst lie of all.

You lied about paying 4500 euro for a hair transplant, you lied about how many women you've slept with (or rather "forgot the truth" on a topic you are constantly and consistently completely clear on) and now you get all pissy when someone exposes it, I'm not the one with a problem here. So you had 4 times more money than the cost of a hair transplant, yet needed mummy to pay for it, and you think this isn't at all suspicious? Then it turns out you casually made a lot of money, as a student, from something that people struggle to make money from even if they treat it as a full-time job, I mean f***, why not just pick online poker, or winning a scratchcard, make it at least interesting if you're going to be fantastical.

Many people are sick of your sh*t and they don't want to bother tangling with you (and have done in the past, but your delusions brush it under the carpet) and keep thinking I'm the only one that has a problem with you. You are so deluded you can't tell when someone's stepping past the point of simply disagreeing with you, into the more personal area of disagreeing BECAUSE it's you (unreliable).

Why not just travel where it's cheaper?

Oh if it's not in the US, the work will be subpar, right?

Lol at these prejudices. According to some people here, having a hair transplant in Belgium is like having one in India.

Lol..Comparing Belgium with India .

India is a country of two type..
One Rich and One Poor.


Also,Indian Medical Education is of very high standards, why because of huge patient's exposure.
Dude,Its 2 Trillion dollar Economy...

What about Belgium..?

30/40% doctors of US are from India.

Also,private Hospitals here are so sophisticated,even an average american man can't afford treatments.

Deluxe rooms in such Hospitals cost more than Five star Hotel.


So funny,I have read comments on Rxpg that even american medical graduate cannot crack FMGE..
which is licencing exam for foreign graduate's in India .

I have seen USMLE book,
It is half of our sylabus.
I can Easily Crack USMLE and get admission in US Medical PG college..

Problem is why to Invest that Money.

Just only in Few things US wins and that things include advance surgeries that mostly not required for maximum people.

And this HairTransplant association fools the Internet telling its an art and all that,promoting only their association doctor's.

My friend's who are Norwood zero laughs when they heard such doctor's claims,
Dude,my few friend are doing Pediatric Neurosurgery,uro surgeon,Neurologist.
Its billion Times difficult than hairtransplant.

One mistake and your patient is dead,end of career..

What about Hairtransplant, almost about more than half doctor's are using technicians for this easy game.

Hair Transplant depends maximum on patient conditions.

Yes..

If you belive that hair follicle insertion procedure is what distincts a Hair Transplant Surgeon..

Try to watch Various Surgeries..
Like normal delivery.

Patients conditions means..
1)Is his hair loss stable
2)Is he not in greater Norwood category.
3)quality of DHT Resistant Follicles in him.
4)how will the patient look after transplant.
If he look better: Success.
If not: Failure.

5)Once i consulted HairTransplant Surgeon,his First word was you will look too better with it because of your face and Frame.
(I was never complimented like such before).
6)Any hair is better than hair.
7)Few men have a sngle layer of sprout hairs on their hairline still they look better after hair transplant.
They get huge increament in FaceValue..
Consider a case example of your hair transplant.

1) Your hair transplant succeeded not because of your surgeon, it did because it was your face and various characteristics of face that help you to get enhance value of such hair transplant.

Look on you tube videos about hair systems,those who have appropriate face and still bald will only look better with hairpiece,
And those who are not,they will look man with a rug.

While conditions certainly play a major role (nobody is doubting whether they do or not) the surgeon plays more of a role than anything. As far as giving it the most natural look, understanding the patients conditions and everything.... They are mutually beneficial to eachother, but there is an old saying it's not the tools it's the carpenter.

I am not against the fact that surgeon is Important..
I am against the claim that only group of surgeon's on Earth are able to achieve that feet.

My junior went through hair transplant, it looks very successful,
The surgeon is 33 years old,
New guy.

According to IMA(Indian Medical Association),
You cannot market yourself with marketing bullshit.

All youtube videos of doctors telling we at this and that,who are excellent in this and that, who have the experience in this and that,

There is high chance that his Medical Registration will be suspended.

MCI and IMA belive that all Doctor's who qualifies to undergo particul task and you have equal knowlege and skills.

So other marketings tactics above mentioned will be considered as unethical practice.

Fred is a prick. Plain and simple. Must be nice to live with your mummy indefinitely and have her pay for your "procedures"

Yet you say people don't care about their hair loss or it isn't important to them when money is an issue.

Newsflash. People have bills to pay and have to support themselves by themselves. With no outside financial assistant and support.

You probably live with mummy and get fed and pay no rent, you use her car. You have it f*****g easy bro.

Newsflash. Not everyone has mommy or daddy to rely on. How old are you anyway? Late 20's? Must be nice not having responsibilities.

Yeah people try to save money for a hair transplant. It's harder to save when you have bills to pay (which you obviously have none)

I honestly hope your thin transplanted hair falls out and balds.

You have such an unsupportive negative attitude.
