Dr. Jorge Cortez
Chirurg en oprichter van HMR·Hair Medical Restoration (HMR)
Mexico
$2,30–$3 ≈ €6.100–8.000 ruwe schatting voor 3.000 grafts Per graft · Details over de kostenAchtergrond
Jorge Keity Cortez Barrón is de oprichter van Hair Medical Restoration (HMR), met vestigingen in Tijuana, Hermosillo en Monterrey in Mexico en in Scottsdale in de Verenigde Staten 1. De kliniek stelt dat hij meer dan 15 jaar ervaring heeft als specialist in haarherstel en omschrijft hem als een board certified haartransplantatiechirurg in Tijuana, zonder te noemen welke board hem certificeerde 1. Hij werkt bij HMR samen met een team van andere chirurgen 1.
Behandelingen en technieken
HMR biedt FUE-haartransplantaties, Direct Hair Implantation (DHI), baardtransplantaties en wenkbrauwtransplantaties aan 1. Volgens de FAQ worden FUE en DHI als één proces behandeld: bij FUE worden grafts één voor één uit het donorgebied gehaald, en bij DHI worden ze met een instrument nauwkeurig geplaatst 2. De prijspagina beschrijft FUE-extractie als uitgevoerd met een micropunch en noemt het de "preferred and safest method" 3. De FAQ schrijft de extractie, het bewerken van de grafts onder een microscoop en de implantatie toe aan "our specialists" en niet aan Cortez zelf, met lokale verdoving en een ingreep van 6-8 uur 2. De beoordeling van kandidaten is een persoonlijk consult over de gezondheid van de hoofdhuid, het donorgebied en de verwachtingen; de kliniek raadt aan dat patiënten eind 20 of ouder zijn en dat het haarverlies gestabiliseerd is 2.
Prijzen
Voor de vestigingen in Mexico noemt HMR gemiddelde kosten voor een FUE-transplantatie van rond $2.990, ongeveer $2,3 tot $3 per graft, met $3.240 als totaal voor 1.000 grafts 3. De kliniek omschrijft de prijs als een compleet pakket zonder verborgen kosten, met onderzoek vooraf, de ingreep, een kit voor na de ingreep, nazorg en een conciërgeservice voor patiënten, met financiering via een externe aanbieder 3. De kliniek stelt dat de uiteindelijke prijs afhangt van het aantal grafts, de verdeling, het aantal sessies, de haardichtheid en het ontwerp 3.
Boeken en nazorg
De eerste stap is een online consultformulier, dat het medische team van HMR beoordeelt om te bepalen of iemand geschikt is, voordat er een persoonlijke offerte volgt 3. De kliniek regelt privévervoer van deur tot deur: patiënten worden opgehaald bij de grens, het vliegveld of het hotel en na de ingreep teruggebracht, omdat de verdoving patiënten te suf kan maken om te rijden 2. Ze raadt aan daarna 3 tot 5 dagen vrij te nemen van werk 2. Ze adverteert met gratis levenslange opvolging als onderdeel van het pakket 3.
Kwalificaties en lidmaatschappen
De gepubliceerde kwalificaties van Cortez zijn een beroepsvergunning, een masterdiploma in esthetische chirurgie en een specialistencertificaat in esthetische en longevity-geneeskunde, elk met een registratienummer, plus een vermeld lidmaatschap van de International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery en de International Trichoscopy Society 1.

hairburner4 had FUE with Dr. Cortez at HMR in Tijuana in November 2022 — 2600 grafts, paying just under $6k (later specified as $2.30/graft, ~$5,980). Across a series of self-posted updates from 3 to 10 months, he described a mostly smooth process with a hard patch around month 2 and 'slow progress' on density after month 6, but affirmed at each stage he was 'very happy with the results' and 'don't regret it.' In separate threads through 2026 he continued recommending Cortez/HMR to other prospective patients, repeatedly saying he 'had a good experience.'

KyleWilson_ had 1,900 grafts with Dr. Cortez at HMR in Tijuana in November 2025, paying about $2 per graft (about $3,800) including a one-night hotel, transport, a PRP session and lunch. He said the staff were super friendly, he had zero issues at week 10 and the clinic said his 3-month photos looked great. At 6 months he said his results look good so far, he is still anxious about the final outcome, and he "couldn't recommend them enough"; he planned updates at 8 and 12 months.

SparkyBrads had 2,900 grafts (FUE) at HMR Tijuana in September 2024, paying $6,470 USD ($2.30 per graft with a cash discount). He says Dr. Cortez did the hairline design, implantation and PRP, while another doctor did the extraction. He reports severe swelling and heavy shedding (about 85% of recipient hair lost from months one to three), with density picking up around 4.5 months. At 6 months he called it the "best thing I ever did" and at one year said he was "so glad I did it".

DarthRhinoceros had 2,900 grafts to the hairline and mid-scalp with Dr Jorge Cortez at HMR Tijuana in February 2024, at $2.30 per graft (about $6,670), as the first of two planned transplants. He described the clinic as "as clean as I would expect from any high-end US clinic" and recovery as unexpectedly easy. At 15 months he said roughly 100-200 short hairs from that transplant had neither grown nor fallen out and were removed by his next surgeon, and that he felt the hairline turned out "a bit straight". He graded the experience "a solid B", said he would choose Dr Ratchathorn from the start if redoing it, and still called Cortez a reasonable choice if the patient gives a lot of hairline direction.

u/Capt_Mercy had his 2nd hair transplant (his 1st was FUT in Canada) done as FUE, 2000 grafts, with Dr. Cortez at HMR Tijuana in 2024, paying around $4,100-4,400 USD including hotel and airport transport. His updates trace an arc from Day 7 scab removal, through a rough Day 35 'ugly duckling' stage with vertex shock-loss, to a 7-month result he calls 'way happier' than his prior, pricier Canada experience, also praising the clinic as more professional. He couldn't confirm Cortez personally worked on him (sedated, eyes covered) but rated the donor-area healing better than his previous FUT.

u/heyitsjuan12 had a 1,000-graft transplant with Dr. Jorge Cortez at HMR Tijuana on 2025-06-25, paying $2,300 after being quoted $3,500 for 1,500 grafts. He reported smooth recovery with no issues around scabbing, and by his 5-month update said 'man I'm truly happy with the results thus far'; a 5.5-month photo update in December showed continued progress with no complaints. By 2026-06-03 he was back for a second HT with Cortez to add density, commenting he's a 'good doctor.'

OP (u/RoyalBlu88) had FUE with Dr. Cortez at HMR Tijuana in 2024, quoted a 3,000-graft package at $6,900 but billed for 3,100 grafts ($7,130 total), and said he found no puncture marks for the included PRP. In his June 2024 post he called himself 'happy with the result' and praised the clinic's responsiveness, but by 90 days (August 2024) he was more mixed, saying growth was slower than hoped even though native hair had recovered from shock loss. At his final update, about a year and a half post-op, he said 'I think HMR did a good job!', reporting continued crown coverage improvement and offering to share a current photo.

dm-me-bible-verses got just over 1500 FUE grafts from Dr. Jorge Cortez at HMR Tijuana in January 2022, paying $2.3 per graft with a few extra grafts thrown in free. At about 6 weeks post-op they said they were 'Super satisfied,' and by 5 months they rated the result 'a 4.7/5 star,' reporting zero pain, sleep trouble, or swelling in the first week — their one nitpick being that Cortez 'could have spread out the harvested area a little more.' Over a year later, still positive, they were urging another prospective patient to 'do it,' calling HMR 'the best choice I have ever made.'

He had FUE with Dr Jorge Cortez at HMR in Tijuana on July 23, 2022, and reports 2,750 grafts at $2.3 per graft; he gave the all-in cost as $6,600 on day 1, later $6,325 and, at 6 months, '6,700 and some change' (where he also wrote 2,700 grafts). He described the experience as 'Solid experience overall' on day 1 and 'Wonderful experience' elsewhere, and at 4 months said he was overwhelmed and excited by the growth. His main complaint was donor-area itching in the first month; he says the donor healed in about 2 weeks with full regrowth by 10 weeks. At 6 months he said the transplant had changed many little things in impactful ways.

u/swooshpdx had a 3,000-graft transplant with Dr. Jorge Cortez at HMR (technique and price not stated), reporting at 3.5 years post-op that it was 'a decent job of restoring my hairline.' He followed Cortez's advice to skip minoxidil on the transplanted hairs but now regrets it, saying 'I should've stayed on it.' Now planning a second transplant for density, he's weighing whether to return to Cortez or find a surgeon better suited to his curly hair, and in a separate thread leaned toward Cortez again mainly for practical reasons (Oregon travel, shorter waitlist) rather than a stated preference on results.
