Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

If there is a thick scar in the moustache area it will have to be softened a little initially before the transplant to ensure the grafts get good blood supply post procedure.Hairs can definitely be transplanted and the cost depends on number of grafts required to cover the area. It costs between 35-40 Rs per graft.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
