Background
Dr Fares Seffen practices as a hair transplant specialist in Tunis, Tunisia, at Résidence Nessma Medical in Berges du Lac 2 1. The clinic states he trains his own team of medical assistants in hair transplant techniques 1. Its team page states he has been chief physician at the "Jugurtha" aesthetic medicine and hair transplant centre in Tunis since 2012 2. The clinic describes its space as built in a "refined boutique style" with waiting areas, complimentary drinks and artwork, next to an operating theatre it says meets high technical standards 5.
Procedures and techniques
The clinic lists FUE, eyebrow, beard and moustache transplant, PRP, minoxidil and finasteride therapy, restorative/constructive transplant, and intimate-area transplant among its treatments 1. For FUE, the clinic states Dr Seffen uses manual sharp punches of 0.75-0.95 mm rather than motorized extraction, which it says avoids deep sectioning of the graft or heating the skin, with recipient sites made using a micro-needle 4. The clinic's FUE page states the pre-op consultation includes a capilloscopy and densitometry exam, with anticipation of future loss stressed in planning 4. The clinic states extraction pace runs 400 to 700 grafts per hour, and that procedures are sometimes worked by two surgeons at once on either side of the scalp 4. The clinic's FAQ frames candidacy for full restoration around donor density relative to the balding area, with advanced alopecia and a limited donor area yielding only partial restoration 3.
Pricing
Booking and aftercare
The clinic states booking can start with an online form or a free video consultation over FaceTime or WhatsApp, during which Dr Seffen assesses the hair situation and drafts a quote 3. It recommends a preoperative consultation the day before surgery, mandatory if the patient was not seen in the prior two months 5. Its patient-stay page states foreign patients typically plan a 3 to 4 day stay, including a day after surgery for a check-up 5. The clinic describes a 15-month postoperative follow-up with scheduled review visits 5.
Credentials and memberships
The clinic states Dr Seffen is registered with the Tunisian national council of the order of doctors, registration number 19953 1.

Mountain_Elk_7262 reports a 2025 procedure with 4,000+ grafts for 4,200 USD, including first-day PRP and airport rides. They say Seffen performed the incisions and about one-third of extractions, with an assistant completing remaining second-day extractions. They were happy overall and liked the hairline design and donor healing, but later reported thin transplanted coverage, visible scalp after showering, major keloids in transplanted areas, and an expected need for another transplant. They also report difficulty receiving lidocaine while in pain and a missed airport pickup reimbursed only after asking.

The reporter had a 2025 procedure with Dr. Fares Seffen: 4,000 grafts over two days, for paid 4200 USD, with PRP on the first day. They said they were happy and satisfied with the results, but would most likely choose somewhere else for a future procedure to improve density and cover the remaining top of their head. They also said the assistant's second-day extractions looked slightly more picked, and reported not receiving the mature hairline they requested and slow provision of requested lidocaine.

- NW5
Princ3ssgldy is a NW5 considering Fares Seffen, quoted at approximately €1 per graft; they said travel and hotel would still make it about half the alternative's price. They said most reviews seem very good, but questioned whether they reflect the real experience. Their concern was a negative report they saw describing a rushed, painful process mostly performed by technicians; they did not report having surgery with Seffen.

- 3,500 grafts
- surgeon performs procedure himself, not technicians source ↗
After being quoted 4,500 grafts by two Turkey clinics (Cosmedia and Idels of Med), OP was considering Dr Fares Seffen in Tunisia, who suggested 3,500 grafts instead to let the donor area heal, with a second session possible later. OP said the price was roughly the same as the Turkey quotes, though no exact figure was given. OP favored Seffen's approach, noting 'it's less grafts but at least he does the operation himself and not just technicians.' As of the thread OP had not yet had surgery, and a later commenter's question about the eventual cost and results went unanswered.
