Dr. Furqan Raja
Named lead surgeon·Dr Raja Hair Restoration
Leeds, United Kingdom
From £4,000 Per procedure · Cost detailsBackground
Dr Furqan Raja is a UK hair transplant surgeon who runs Dr Raja Hair Restoration, with clinics in Leeds and London 12. The Leeds clinic is at Unit B, Spectrum Park, Whitehouse Street, Hunslet 2. The London clinic is on Harley Street at The Private Clinic, where the site says he offers consultations and surgery 3. A second surgeon, Dr Umair Khan, also works at the practice 24. A former MANUAL page says he graduated in Medicine and Surgery from Leicester University in 2013 5. The same page says he trained in Trauma and Orthopaedics at King's College Hospital and did Core Surgical Training in Manchester 5. It says he worked at The Private Clinic of Harley Street before joining MANUAL 5. That MANUAL page has since been removed 6. The ISHRS profile still links to MANUAL's website, at the same Leeds address 7. The site does not say when he started hair restoration 8.
Procedures and techniques
He specialises in FUE and FUT 8. The clinic also lists DHI as an FUE variant, beard and eyebrow transplants and non-surgical treatment 2. The FUT page describes a female case of traction alopecia along the hairline 9. The clinic says FUT can be done without shaving the donor area 9. The IAHRS listing says he personally performs donor harvesting and recipient site creation 10. The clinic's FUE page says every FUE procedure is personally performed by a specialist surgeon 11. Who places the grafts is not stated 11. The site's results gallery names the surgeon who performed each case 1.
Pricing
The clinic publishes four fee tiers, each a starting price 12. Under 1,000 grafts starts from £4,000 12. From 1,000 to 1,500 grafts starts from £5,000 12. From 1,500 to 2,000 grafts starts from £6,000 12. Over 2,000 grafts starts from £8,000 12. A case of about 3,000 grafts falls in the top tier, and no exact figure is given 12. The clinic says pricing follows the treatment plan, not per-graft rates 12. The fees page does not list what is included 12. The London page says international patients get 5-star accommodation and airport transfers, without saying whether this is in the fee 3.
Booking and aftercare
The surgeon consultation costs £100 and is redeemable against the surgery fee 12. Graft numbers are confirmed at an in-person consultation 12. Patients can first complete an online pre-assessment with photos 11. FUE aftercare includes preventative medication, scalp relief treatment, hair growth support such as minoxidil, and follow-up care 11. No guarantee, waiting time or aftercare period is published 12.
Credentials and memberships
The ISHRS lists him as an Associate Member, a member since 2025 7. He is in the FUE Europe member directory as Furqan R. Raja MbCHB MRCS (Eng) 13. The IAHRS lists him under Europe, with a practice at 98 Harley Street 10. His site says he is a member of the Royal College of Surgeons and of the British Association of Hair Restoration Surgery 8. The former MANUAL page describes him as a GMC-registered doctor 5. The clinic reports awards from the Prestige Awards and the GHP Global Excellence Awards in 2025 8.

At 2 months he was extremely pleased and at 6 months he called it the best decision he has made, with the right side thickening faster than the left and final results still pending. He praised the team as helpful and the day as smooth.

No_Brilliant7463 had a 2015-graft FUE with Dr Furqan Raja at the Leeds clinic and posted a 12-month update; no cost is stated. They describe him as calm and professional, say the team checked in regularly, answered questions quickly and made adjustments when needed, and single out Louisa for medication and follow-ups. At 12 months they report a natural hairline, good density and a well-healed donor area, saying "I couldn’t be happier with the outcome."

- male surgery 2025
- healed really well by day 14 source ↗
- donor area looks impressive source ↗
- lot of shock loss around month 2 source ↗
- right side a bit sparse early on source ↗
- thicker on one side at 5 months source ↗
SlimSloane posted updates after a transplant with Dr Raja in London in 2025 and said the cost was £5.5k. Graft counts vary across their posts (about 1700, 1500 and 1250), so no single figure is given here. At day 14 they had 'Healed really well'; at 5 months the result was thicker on one side, and at 10 months they described a lot of shock loss around month 2 while the photos showed strong density. They described the approach as conservative and natural and gave no written overall verdict.

Throwawayrandom234 has not had surgery. He was assessed by video call and photos by Dr Raja and by another London clinic, and both said he needs two transplants. He was quoted £7.6k for 6k grafts across two procedures (the thread does not say which clinic gave the quote) and asked others whether that is reasonable. He gave no opinion on Dr Raja.

- has produced great results source ↗
mazz-ah92 had a consultation with Dr Furqan Raja while shortlisting UK surgeons (Reddy, Mittal, Raja) and has not had surgery. Raja quoted around 2500 grafts for the frontal third and advised medication only for the rest for now. He said all three have produced great results but that Raja 'felt a bit quiet, practice didn’t seem the most organised', and by the end of the thread he leaned heavily towards another surgeon, Dr Mani.

- surgeon has good reviews, though not many source ↗
- quote rose from advertised range at consultation source ↗
- felt like false advertising pressuring spend source ↗
MelodicProject6732 had only a consultation at Manual clinic's London site, where Dr Furqan Raja has good reviews though not that many. The website said £4-6k depending on grafts, but at the consultation he was told he probably needed 1800 grafts and that after a price revision it was about £7000. He found this dubious and said it felt like false advertising meant to pressure people into spending more, and that what he experienced "doesn’t exactly inspire confidence". He was torn between staying in the UK and flying to Turkey.

Hairtransplantadvice commented in April 2026 that they like Dr Furqan Raja's results and found him a very personable doctor. They did not say they were a patient and gave no prices or graft counts.

- phone consultation said not eligible source ↗
Nugget8x55 has not had surgery and is considering Dr Raja's clinic. After a phone consultation told him he was not eligible as a diffuse thinner, an in-person second opinion with Dr Raja said he could absolutely have a transplant; the plan discussed is about 4000 grafts in two operations roughly six months apart, with 10% off the second and 2 years of free minoxidil and finasteride. He says these people do seem good and he felt reassured talking to them in person, but he cannot afford it yet and is still looking at other clinics.

CatFine3388 (Norwood 4) asked in August 2023 whether a £8k quote for 2000 grafts from The Private Clinic in London, with Dr Furqan Raja, was a rip-off. They also had a Leeds quote of £7.5-£9k for 2500-3000 grafts. They gave no verdict on Dr Raja and had not had surgery.
