Does surgery for hair transplant count as deductible and travel costs associated with it?

Only if deemed medically necessary.   According to the IRS, Publication 502, Medical and Dental Expenses, you generally cannot include medical expenses for cosmetic plastic surgery procedures such as face lifts, hair transplants, hair removal (electrolysis), and liposuction.
