Your hair transplant consultation should be a two-way assessment. Yes, the surgeon is evaluating your suitability — but you are also evaluating the clinic, the surgeon, and whether they have your genuine long-term interests in mind. These 15 questions will help you get the information you need.
About the Surgeon and Clinic
- Who will perform my procedure? — Confirm it is a qualified surgeon, not technicians supervised by a surgeon who is elsewhere.
- What are your qualifications and specialist training in hair restoration?
- How many FUE procedures do you perform per year? — Volume of experience matters.
- Can I see a portfolio of real patients at 12 months with similar cases to mine?
- Is the clinic registered with the CQC? — Required for UK surgical facilities.
About Your Specific Treatment Plan
- How many grafts do I need and how did you calculate that?
- What density will you achieve and is that achievable in one session?
- How are you planning for my future hair loss? — A surgeon who doesn’t mention this is a red flag.
- Am I a good candidate for surgery right now, or would you recommend waiting?
- What medical treatment do you recommend alongside surgery?
About the Procedure and Recovery
- Will I need to shave my head, or is unshaved FUE an option?
- What aftercare support do you provide and for how long?
- What is your policy if I am unhappy with results at 12 months?
About the Financial Commitment
- What does the quoted price include — is aftercare, PRP, medication included?
- What happens if I need additional grafts — is there a discounted rate for a second session?
A good surgeon will welcome all of these questions. Evasion or dismissal of any of them is a red flag.
