Hair transplant before and after: patients' own results
Clinic galleries are picked by the clinic. These are results that patients posted themselves on reddit (r/HairTransplants and r/tressless), with photos, at least nine months after surgery (what patients reported before that is on the recovery timeline). The photos stay on reddit: each result links to the original thread, where you can also read the comments.
638 people, one result each (their latest), 135 doctors from our directory named. Newest first; we don't sort by how happy people are.

How to read these
These are people who chose to post, not a clinical study, and nobody checked the photos for lighting, angles or styling. Who posts, and how often, is up to each patient, so the mix is not representative. A doctor appears only when the patient named them; when a thread only names a clinic, the doctor is left blank. How many results a doctor has here says more about how many of their patients use reddit than about the doctor. Graft counts, technique and timing are what the patient wrote. Threads removed from reddit are left out. "The patient sounds…" is our reading of their own words in that thread.
See what patients reported month by month after surgery, what a transplant costs, or compare doctors' credentials, published prices and patient reports in the directory.
SaveMyHairline is an independent hair transplant doctor directory: published prices, checked credentials and real patient reports, with sources — and no clinic can pay to appear.
