Under three weeks after, he reported an easy recovery and was happy with the results, with some rivers in the crusts he did not expect to matter. At 5 months he was very pleased with the results so far, and at 9 months he said the staff were nice, he was never worried, and he would rather repeat the procedure than have a tooth pulled.

HyruleDaddy had a 3,942-graft FUE with Dr Emil George at Scandinavian Hair Institute in Norway on 2 October 2025, a 12-hour procedure that left him exhausted; he said he paid extra for the additional grafts and "paid 5 figures" without naming a currency. On the day he asked to lower the temples and the doctor was hesitant because it needed one more assistant, who was called in. At 3.5 months he saw a lot of new growth in previously sparse areas, and at 7 months and 10 days he said it was "Heading in the right direction it seems" with hair still thickening.

kim_Bagge had 3,300 FUE grafts to the front and mid-scalp with Dr Emil George in Norway in 2025, paying 3 EUR per graft, 9,900 EUR in total, for the transplant only with flights and hotel separate. At 8 months he was very happy with how things were developing, with the hairline established and natural and the donor area not noticeable. At 12 months he says he is really happy with the work and that it was one of the best decisions he has made; he says Dr George answered every question, often within an hour at first, though after half a year replies on WhatsApp could take a couple of days.

dannyboy2379, a 45-year-old Norwood 6, had two FUE surgeries with Dr Emil George at Skandinavisk Hårinstitutt in Oslo (first on 19 January 2024, a second a year later), 8000 grafts in total, paying around 180000 NOK for both (100k and 90k NOK per surgery in a later post, noting pricing has probably changed). He took finasteride/dutasteride and oral minoxidil. At 10 months after the second surgery he praised the doctor and team and reported compliments and regrowth; at his 2-year follow-up he said he is pretty happy, describing a very natural hairline, though the crown still needs about 6 more months and he might do a touch-up for midscalp density.

- daily contact with doctor and clinic in recovery source ↗
- would highly recommend the doctor source ↗
PositiveReviewsOnly had 2200 grafts with Dr Emil George on 3 April 2026, paying 112k NOK in total (a 25k NOK deposit and 87k NOK later), and posted an invoice image. They chose him after research and consultations at other clinics, citing his experience and natural-looking results. They called it a very positive experience, praised the professionalism from the video consultation onward and daily contact with the doctor and clinic during recovery, and would highly recommend him. Commenters questioned the post because the account is brand new and the text reads generic; the user said they are a genuine patient and reused text from a Google review. No results beyond early recovery are shown.

Chissa8 had around 3500 grafts to the temples and crown with Dr Emil George at the Scandinavian Hair Institute in early March 2025, for $8500. At 6 months they say they are very happy with the results so far. They had wanted to shave only the donor area, but the surgeon recommended shaving the thinning areas too; they went along and say in hindsight they would shave it all. They say blending the shorter new hair with the existing longer hair worked out okay after a few months.
