I had an FUT procedure at the Black Clinic with Dr. Shin-Je Lee. I was a 5 on the Norwood scale and received 2,400 grafts into the recipient area. My hair was thinning very quickly which I tried to compensate with longer hair to cover the area but wind, sweat basically resulted in my scalp being very visible.

The experience from beginning to end with Dr. Lee was excellent and I am already thrilled with the results.

Dr. Lee was always extremely responsive to my emails and questions and I can see why he received such a high rating on the WhatClinic website.

I had one procedure previously in China, and the difference in skill set was enormous. Instead of taking the strip directly from the back of the head, Dr. Lee took the strip working from the side of the head to the back which increased the strip length and as such the number of donor grafts. This technique also allows for a further strip to be taken from the other side in the future should I decide I want increased density. Taking the hair from the side meant I was not moving into the danger zone where eventual thinning could show a transplant scar so already a step above my previous experience in China.

In China the incision and closing were performed by the doctor, however, the implants were placed by the staff. Dr. Lee, on the other hand, placed all the grafts during my procedure and again the difference is remarkable and is not simply putting hair anywhere per my experience in China. Dr. Lee demonstrated care in the placement of hairs which will ultimately result in the best aesthetic. When I say placement, I mean single hairs being placed towards the hairline whilst double and triple hairs placed further back to create eventual density, and I think it is this understanding and attention to detail that will create the result I am hoping for.

Immediately after the surgery the recipient area was not too noticeable, and although there were blood spots these too were not bad and as such I was back to work on the Tuesday after a Friday surgery and would say not many people would have noticed, The area since (within 10 days) is now completely clean with no visible signs of the procedure, so really happy.

Should I have another procedure I will definitely choose Dr. Lee and the team at the Black Clinic, and want to thank you so much for your support and work.​
