Hair Transplant experience, London

Hi guys
I would like to share my personal experience with hair transplant that I have taken abroad,

I get in touch with one clinic because they offer me half price cheaper than
in London where I live,
I take some photos of my hair send by email and doctor count that about 1200 units need for transplant,
I have longer hair so I choose FUT because want to cover transplant plases with my natural hair and dont
cover it with hat,
so I book a date for transplant, bought a fly ticket and cross my fingers ;)
the people from the clinic they say that they provide transport for free both ways,
driver will wait for me at the airport and they book a 4 star hotel
for me with 50% discount for clinic guests,
after when I arrive I spot taxi driver with clinic name on the piece of paper, so far so good, driver was very
nice guy to talk to... journey around 60 miles, he drop me off at the hotel which was very high standard,
in the evening clinic call me and they say that tomorrow I cannot eat any breakfast because they have to take
my blood and do some tests but I can
come down, take whatever I want for breakfast
and hotel staff will pack everything for me so I can eat later at the clinic,
next day I done that and in few minutes came lady from the clinic to pick me up,
at the clinic doctor he take some photos, blod, they done some tests, no longer than 30 min
and when I realise I was in the middle of surgery, everything feel fast and professional,
they take stripe from back and put some stiches... everything no longer than 40 min,
after they offer me tea and some food because I would be laying another 3-4 hours while they transplant my hair,
time fly very fast - 8am I came to pick up my breakfast, 8:15am they pick me out,
8:30am we get to the clinic, till 11:30 they already take stripe, about 16:00 we been already on the way to hotel,
next day they pick me up, we get to the clinic wash my head and take out my bandage 30 min and done ,
so at this point I been ready to fly back home but I stay 3 more days to recovery- actually I didnt have to
but I want to,
they ask me when is my fly and send the driver to pick me up to airport, again free transport,
hair transplant cost me £1 for graft so £1200 + hotel I stay there 4 days with 50% discount £40 a night so £160,
'4 star very high standart hotel' + fly ticket both ways in january £40 ryanair
all together £1400 , clinic in London they want £3000,

the service was so good that I start work for them, now looking for people in London who thinking about
hair transpland, we can meet for a coffee, have chat, I'll take some photos of your hair and
you get instant price from the doctor !

Hi Michael,

So, where did you have your hair transplant?

4 awesome repairs with SMG
If it was one of them holiday and cosmetic surgery trips they sound way too risky to me. Hair transplants are a serious procedure and lengthy research is needed before pulling the trigger.

This is almost a mirror image of my experience with super conman Malcom Mendelsohn! except I had the good sense to tell them to get stuffed and I fled home without them touching my head.

Have you got any Photos of the work you have had done? What is the Clinic called? What was the name of your Surgeon? How many Technicians were working on you?

If something is too good to be true, generally it is. If you did have a HT done there, I hope your expectations in respect of results are met.

Yes, scottdanny, and quite remarkable that Michael's doctor can give a price after looking at some pics from a mobile phone!

Hi guys
oh yes I just forgot few details... the transplant was in Poland,
it might sound for some people risky go to other country for hair transplant but they same professional like everywhere eles,
they doing FUT, FUE and BHT , I choose fut because I have longer hair and I could cover all transplant places with my natural hair and was the cheapest one as well which was very important because DHI want to charge me 3k for FUT and 5k for FUE, couldn't afford pay that much,
next to me where doctor and 2 technicians, next room there was about 6 technicians cutting grafts under microscope,
I dont have photos but Im sure clinic have some before surgery and if someone is interested can see me live :)

why I am saying that is the clinic have now more customers from UK, they know that market is big here and as I am living here we come up with an idea to advertise a bit... so new customers can meet me 'locally' for a chat,
clinic is doing about 3-4 HT a week,
english webside is on his way... now is only polish

personally I am very happy from the results and service,
would never recommend something or someone doggy, this is just great way to save money.

ps. and the bull shit guys, there no one charge you any money before, you pay after surgery... so do bull shit have any point here ?

Hi Lafaille,

Welcome to this site!

I'm sure nobody meant to imply there was anything 'doggy'.

Let us hear more of your own experiences, it's actually quite entertaining!

Hi Staffie

well actually I finish my story in the last post, all the important detalis are there...
but you been very surprise that someone can give you a price from the picture... well yes they can and its very easy,
usually you have 60 grafts your own hair every centimeter, during transplant they can fit only 40 grafts every centimeter so they can fit 400 grafts every square centimeter,
yes you can get that from the photo
