Background
Dr. Daniel J. Lee is founder and lead surgeon of Lee Hair Restoration, in Atlanta's Buckhead neighborhood.1 Its about page describes him as double board-certified, with over 25 years of surgical experience and nearly a decade devoted exclusively to hair restoration.1 He also serves on the ABHRS Board of Directors and co-chairs its Oral Exam Committee, which helps certify other hair restoration surgeons.1
Procedures and techniques
The clinic states Dr. Lee performs both FUE and FUT himself, with every FUT procedure planned and performed under his direct care.3 FUE is described as leaving no linear scar, healing instead as small, barely visible extraction sites.4 FUT is described as leaving a thin linear scar in the donor area, which closure techniques aim to help heal flat and stay concealed.3 No-shave FUE is offered, though eligibility is determined per patient at consultation.4 Candidacy is described as depending on stable hair loss, adequate donor hair, and realistic expectations, evaluated across hair loss pattern, donor density, age, and scalp health.5 The clinic also lists exosome hair restoration among its services.2 Non-surgical medical treatments are offered as well, per its FAQ.5 It separately markets services for African American, women's, and transgender hair restoration.2
Pricing
The clinic does not publish per-graft or package prices, stating cost is worked out during consultation; its pricing page cites a general Atlanta-market range of $4,000 to $15,000 or more as market context, not its own quote.6 It also states the procedure is usually elective and not commonly covered by insurance.6 It advises comparing clinics by asking who performs key steps, how grafts are handled, and what follow-up is included.6
Booking and aftercare
The clinic describes a three-step process: a personal consultation with Dr. Lee to evaluate hair loss, goals, and candidacy, then custom hairline design and a one-day procedure, with many patients said to complete consultation to treatment within one week.2 Its FUT page separately states a free 3D consultation is available.3 Stated recovery is usually one to two weeks for FUE.4 For FUT, the clinic describes mild soreness and tightness in the donor area, with return to normal activity within a week.3
