Achtergrond
Motion Clinic, waar Dr. Bahk werkt, is gevestigd in Seocho-gu in het Seoulse district Gangnam en stelt dat ze zich sinds de oprichting in 2003 uitsluitend op FUE-haartransplantaties richt 1. De eigen contactpagina van de kliniek noemt een andere arts, Dr. Sung, als "the Head Doctor for Motion Clinic" 1. Dr. Bahk wordt alleen bij naam genoemd in een getuigenis van een cliënt die hem en zijn staf bedankt voor de zorg tijdens een haartransplantatie, wat niets zegt over zijn rol of positie ten opzichte van die titel 1. De kliniek stelt dat ze een vergunning van het Koreaanse ministerie van Volksgezondheid en Welzijn heeft om buitenlandse patiënten te behandelen, een certificering die voor de praktijk als geheel geldt en niet voor één arts 1.
Behandelingen en technieken
Volgens de kliniek doen haar artsen de verdoving, het uitnemen en de incisies in het ontvangende gebied, waarna verpleegkundigen de grafts plaatsen onder leiding van de arts 1. Motion Clinic zegt dat ze grafts met één haar in de voorste haarlijn plaatst voor een natuurlijk uiterlijk en grafts met meerdere haren verder op de hoofdhuid voor volume, met een beoogde dichtheid tot 55 tot 65 grafts per vierkante centimeter 1. Ze beschrijft uitnamepunches van 0,65 mm tot 1,25 mm en implantatie- en incisiesets van 0,65 mm tot 1,5 mm, waarbij het instrumentarium wordt gekozen op basis van etniciteit en geslacht 1. De kliniek biedt ook non-shave FUE aan naast standaard-FUE met scheren, met een opgegeven dagcapaciteit van 5.000 grafts geschoren of 3.000 grafts ongeschoren 1. Ze zegt dat ze overmatige uitname uit het donorgebied vermijdt en grafts niet opdeelt of splitst, zodat er evenveel worden uitgenomen als geplaatst 1.
Prijzen
Boeken en nazorg
De kliniek zegt dat patiënten uit Noord-Amerika en Europa meestal 5 tot 10 dagen in Seoul blijven, en patiënten uit Zuidoost- en Centraal-Azië of Oceanië 5 tot 7 dagen, waarbij de grafts op dag 5 vastzitten en de korstjes op dag 10 verwijderd kunnen worden 1. Tijdens het verblijf zijn wasbeurten gratis, behalve op zondagen en feestdagen 1. Na terugkeer naar huis beschrijft de kliniek doorlopend meertalig contact, controle van de voortgang en gratis bijwerkbehandelingen onder garantie 1. Motion Clinic streeft naar een overlevingspercentage van 95% en geeft een schriftelijke garantie op een gratis herhalingsingreep als de overleving binnen een jaar onder de 90 procent uitkomt 1.

Crzyhairline1990 had 3,000 FUE grafts with Dr. Bahk at Motion Hair Clinic in Gangnam, Seoul in September 2022, paying around $7,200 during a pandemic promotion. He documented the result across 15+ posts from days post-op through a 3-year-4-month update, consistently reporting satisfaction — calling Bahk 'a magician' and 'a really great artist,' and at the latest update saying 'I am a different person, everyone asks me why I always look so young and unchanged.' Along the way he described a rough 'ugly duckling' shedding phase with real depression and mood drops, and later post-op shedding he attributed to stress, but says the donor scar healed to be barely noticeable and no one could tell he'd had work done. He remains a strong advocate for Bahk and the clinic overall, though he later acknowledged elsewhere that no one can be '100% satisfied after one procedure.'

jsjourneyy had a 3,000-graft FUE, no-shave procedure with Dr. Bahk at Motion Clinic, paying about $11,000 USD, with surgery around January 2025. Early on he called it '10/10 would recommend motion clinic and Dr. Bahk,' praising manager Kim and noting swelling had resolved by day 5; after scab removal he reported losing 5-10% of the implanted hairs, which he treated as expected. By 6 months post-op he remained positive overall, saying he was 'Happy with the result so far and can't wait to see the final product,' while noting his temples were still a bit thin and he'd had some heavy shedding after month one that he was careful to distinguish from shock loss.

Rift-harold had 1,200 grafts with Dr. Bahk at Motion Clinic in Seoul, South Korea, in 2023 for a Norwood 2 hairline at age 27, paying roughly $4,100-4,500 USD (with about $400 back via a veteran's tax return). Across five posts from right after surgery through his 3-month update, he was consistently enthusiastic, calling the density 'amazing,' the hairline natural around his cowlick, and rating it '10/10 recommend' and 'I would definitely recommend.' By his latest update at 6 months, he still described it as 'nice' but noted 2-3 doubled hairs on the hairline, and said his next transplant would go to a different clinic (Laorwong) instead.

OldPeanut3322 had a 1,500-graft hair transplant with Dr. Bahk at Motion Clinic Seoul in 2022, paying $4,000 USD. At the 2-year post-op mark, he described the process as rushed, saying he only remembers Dr. Bahk personally doing the incisions while hair technicians handled implantation, calling their work "a horrible job." He reported poor angulation, multi-hairs in the front, and low density, with no microscopes used to pick finer hairs and mediocre post-op care (no saline spray given). He summed it up saying "i really regretted it" and wished he'd "done more research before coming here."

OP had a 2,600-graft partial-shave FUE procedure with Dr. Bahk at Motion Clinic in Seoul in 2026, reporting at 1 month post-op. He says, "So far I'm happy with the progress," having prioritized a natural-looking hairline over maximum density, while acknowledging the recipient area was fairly large for the graft count. A commenter questioned whether density would hold up given that tradeoff, though this wasn't resolved in the thread.

No complications were mentioned in either update.

real_dingding had a 2212-graft FUE procedure with Dr Bahk at Motion Clinic Seoul on 2024-11-15 (price not stated), first posting on Day 3 to ask the community for feedback without offering a personal verdict. By the 5-week mark (1.2 months post-op) OP reported 2200 grafts, described an ugly-duckling phase with the sides '50-60% shedded,' but said the process had gone smoothly overall and that the 0.5 back-cut scarring was 'almost unnoticeable unless seeing close upfront.' OP explicitly withheld judgment on results, saying they couldn't wait to reach month 4-5 to see actual growth.
