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, hair transplants for women, eyebrow, beard and moustache transplant, restorative and reconstructive transplant, PRP, and minoxidil and finasteride therapy among its treatments 1. For FUE, the clinic states each graft is harvested with a 0.7 to 0.9 mm punch, manual or motorised depending on skin thickness and hair curvature, and that recipient sites are created with custom blades calibrated to each graft, with Dr Seffen personally performing the design, anaesthesia, extraction and recipient sites 4. The clinic's FUE page states Dr Seffen reviews the patient's photos and replies personally with feasibility, a proposed strategy, an estimated graft count and a quote, and that the hairline is drawn on the day and approved by the patient in front of a mirror, accounting for the likely progression of hair loss 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. Its homepage states the clinic treats one patient a day 1. 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. The homepage also names him a member of three learned societies, the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery (ISHRS), the European Society of Hair Restoration Surgery (ESHRS) and the World FUE Institute (WFI), and says he attends their events and workshops several times a year 1. He did not appear in the ISHRS public directory in October 2026, which lists only members who opt in.

Mountain_Elk_7262 had about 4,000 grafts with Dr Fares Seffen in Tunisia in 2025, paying $4,200 including a PRP round and airport transfers, split into 2,600 grafts one day and 1,400 the next. He said Seffen made all incisions and extracted about a third of the grafts himself, while a technician did the rest on day two when Seffen was not there for most of it. He first wrote he was happy and satisfied, but later said the transplant area is thin, he has keloids only in the transplanted areas, and he will need another transplant; he summed up that "he's alright, but there are others I would consider first above him for roughly $1 a graft". He also reported Seffen reimbursed a missed taxi only after being asked.

Prudent_Lecture4149, a man, paid $4,200 for about 4,000 grafts with Dr. Fares Seffen in Tunisia in 2025, including PRP and airport transfers, split over two days (2,600 then 1,400). He says Seffen did all incisions and about a third of the extractions, with an assistant finishing day two. He says he is 'happy and satisfied with the results', liked the natural hairline design, but questioned the density compared with Dr. Patty. His complaints were that lidocaine was rationed when he was in pain, the promised airport driver never showed (Seffen reimbursed the cab when asked), and that Seffen refused a mature hairline and beard grafts.

- 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.

In February 2024, Acceptable_Hat_7410 commented while shopping quotes for a planned second hair transplant, comparing several providers. They report that Dr Seffen and Dr Meddeb (another Tunisia-based surgeon) assessed them as needing approximately 3,000 grafts, versus Sule Hair Transplant's quote of 2,000 grafts (1k beard, 1k donor) for 2.2k euro after only a 5-minute assessment. No booking, surgery, price, or outcome with Seffen is described — this is a consultation-stage comparison only, raised to argue that Sule's quicker, cheaper quote 'sounded false.'
