I Love my New Hairline
WORTH IT
I had a hair transplant about 3 months ago at Smile and I’m already seeing a very good result. I was a little hesitant to get a hair transplant at first but I’m glad I did it eventually. Dr Ali and the technicians were very skillful, experienced, and caring. The post operative follow up is excellent, they diligently follow your hair’s progress and answer questions or concerns. The successful growth of your hair is not just your business, at Smile they make it their business too. It was comforting to see them be concerned for the outcome. Even though this is a popular clinic, I had a dedicated room and team of lovely technicians. In addition to its popularity one of the deciding factors for me for choosing this clinic was the involvement of surgeons in the transplant procedure. My hair type is curly so that was one of the reasons I was a little more concerned about my choices. I also don’t have any scar at all. 2,900 grafts were taken from my donor area, but my back side is so uniform and feels very much like what I had originally even at a very short cut.
The needles for the local anesthesia were very painful. That was the only time I doubted my decision of getting the transplant. I wasn’t prepared for it, never expected it. What made me a bit relaxed was a video I saw right before the surgery where one of the doctors was saying the anesthesia administration was the most painful part of the transplant. I’m glad I heard that.
There was a big difference with the estimate of the level of my hair loss online with the actual physical assessment, though this is understandable I feel like there shouldn’t be that much of a gap anyway. Otherwise what’s the purpose of having the online hair loss assessment. I also didn’t like the fact that I had to sign a document agreeing to a second surgery after a year, this was presented to me in the surgery room as a precondition to proceeding with the procedure. I still believe this was wrong. The doctor tried to explain to me why I may need a second surgery. I don’t have issues with the explanation for the need to a second surgery but that shouldn’t be a precondition for the surgery. This could just be an awareness discussion, a recommendation, or a side note. At the moment it gave me a wrong impression that they were not confident with what they’re going to do. Overall, I’ll give this clinic 5/5 and would recommend it to a family or friend.
