In short
Costs for Face Transplantation are quoted case by case. Expect around several weeks in hospital and many months away from home. Fidinda shares your reports with suitable hospitals and compares their plans and quotations before you decide.
Face transplantation is extremely rare and is usually not available to international patients. In most cases advanced reconstructive surgery is the realistic option, and we can request opinions on it.

Frequently asked questions
How much does Face Transplantation cost?
The cost depends heavily on your condition and the hospital, so we don't publish a standard price. Send your reports and we will ask suitable hospitals for a written quotation.
How long will I need to stay abroad?
The hospital stay is typically several weeks, and most patients are away for many months. The doctor confirms when it is safe to travel home.
Can a family member travel with me?
Yes. Most patients travel with a family attendant. We help with the attendant's visa and accommodation near the hospital.
Is the price on this page final?
No. These are general estimates for planning. We ask hospitals for a written quotation based on your own reports, showing what is included and what is not.
What do I need to send first?
Your latest reports, scans (CD or images), doctor's notes and a list of current medicines. Send what you have; we will tell you if anything else is needed.
