My initial experience with the clinic for my hair transplant was positive. The consultation, the surgery itself, and the arrangements for local transport and accommodation were handled professionally. The immediate aftercare was also satisfactory in the first weeks following the procedure.
Issues with Final Result:
The long-term results of the hair transplant have been disappointing. It has become clear that the density of the transplanted hair is not sufficient, and critically, a significant number of hairs were implanted at an incorrect angle and/or direction, leading to an unnatural appearance.
Post-Result Communication & Resolution Offer:
Once I raised these concerns regarding the disappointing result—specifically the low density and incorrect hair growth direction—the clinic’s communication became very difficult. Contact was severely delayed, and I had to follow up repeatedly.
After much persistence, I was eventually offered a second procedure to address the density issue, but at a cost of €600. I do not consider this a fair resolution. A second surgery is a significant commitment, involving another uncomfortable procedure and a long recovery/aftercare period. Furthermore, this second procedure, as offered, would not resolve the issue of the incorrect hair direction, which is a key part of the poor result.
Finally, I believe that having to pay an additional fee to correct an unsatisfactory initial outcome is inappropriate. I requested an alternative solution or a full, comprehensive plan to correct the issues, including the poor direction/angle of growth, but unfortunately, I have received no further response or offer of an acceptable alternative.
Conclusion:
While the process of the consultation and surgery was initially smooth, the overall value and professional standard of care are severely undermined by the unsatisfactory final aesthetic result and the subsequent extremely difficult, unhelpful, and unprofessional communication from the clinic when attempting to seek a fair correction. Potential patients should consider the possibility of being left with a poor outcome and little to no reasonable recourse or support.
