Dr. Sahar Nadimi
Haarchirurg·Chicago Hair Institute
Chicago, Verenigde Staten
$15.000 voor 1.500 grafts Gemeld door een patiënt, sep 2025 · Details over de kostenAchtergrond
Sahar Nadimi doet haarherstel bij Chicago Hair Institute, samen met dr. Raymond Konior 4. Daarnaast heeft ze haar eigen praktijk voor faciale plastische chirurgie in Oakbrook Terrace, Illinois en Schererville, Indiana 2. Ze werkte ongeveer tien jaar nauw samen met Konior en ontwikkelde onder zijn begeleiding haar vaardigheden in haarherstel 2. Haar eigen site omschrijft haar als een van de relatief weinige vrouwelijke faciaal plastisch chirurgen in het land die zich richten op voorhoofdsverkleining en haarherstel 2. Haar bio bij Chicago Hair Institute voegt toe dat ze binnen de kliniek een apart traject heeft opgezet voor vrouwen met haaruitval 1.
Behandelingen en technieken
Haar bio bij de kliniek stelt dat ze elke ingreep zelf uitvoert, zowel kleine als grote 1. De lijst met haarbehandelingen van de kliniek omvat FUE, oogsten met een donorstrip, haarlijnchirurgie, de lateral slit-techniek, megasessies, de stick-and-place-techniek, haarherstel voor transgender personen en trichofytische sluiting, plus herbehandeling en behandeling voor vrouwen 4. Tijdens de ingreep wordt plaatselijke verdoving gebruikt, volgens de FAQ 3. De FAQ stelt ook dat de oorspronkelijke dichtheid meestal niet kan worden hersteld omdat er maar een beperkte hoeveelheid donorhaar beschikbaar is, terwijl dichte plaatsing wordt aangeboden aan patiënten met een sterke donorreserve 3. In één gedocumenteerd geval wilde een patiënt met een zeer hoge haarlijn aan de voorkant een natuurlijkere, vrouwelijke uitstraling; het plan van Nadimi, een pretrichiale browlift gecombineerd met een trichofytisch haarlijnherstel, zou een vrouwelijke, natuurlijk ogende haarlijn en duidelijker gedefinieerde wenkbrauwen hebben opgeleverd 1.
Boeken en nazorg
Haarconsulten beginnen online: patiënten sturen foto's in vanuit een aantal aangegeven hoeken, waaronder het donorgebied en een gemarkeerde gewenste haarlijn, plus een intakeformulier over medische voorgeschiedenis en doelen 4. Nadimi en Konior bekijken die informatie voordat een live videoconsult wordt ingepland 4. De kliniek streeft ernaar binnen vijf dagen te reageren 4. Ze zegt dat ze bij het bezoek in de kliniek vaak al kan beginnen met de behandelplanning 4. Over de periode daarna beschrijft de FAQ het ongemak tijdens de genezing als doorgaans gering, te verlichten met een vrij verkrijgbare pijnstiller zoals ibuprofen 3. De standaard disclaimer vermeldt dat resultaten niet gegarandeerd zijn en dat sommige foto's in de galerij van modellen zijn, niet van patiënten 4.
Kwalificaties en lidmaatschappen
Nadimi is actief lid van de American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, volgens haar bio bij de kliniek 1. Haar eigen site vermeldt een dubbele board-certificering van de American Board of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery en de American Board of Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery 2. De FAQ van Chicago Hair Institute omschrijft daarnaast beide chirurgen als gecertificeerd specifiek in haarchirurgie, zonder die board te noemen 3.

- man 1.500 grafts ingreep 2025
- very comfortable experience, daily checkups bron ↗
- worth it for her reputation bron ↗
- only criticism: her prices bron ↗
- unsure if she operated personally bron ↗
- saw her as a rising star bron ↗
In 2022, behairfull was undecided about a hairline repair and described Dr. Nadimi as 'a rising star in the community,' having been quoted 1500-1800 grafts at 'her price per graft is $9.' In September 2025 he went ahead with her for a second HT to fix a prior transplant, receiving 1500 FUE grafts for roughly $15,000 (~$10/graft). He called the experience 'very comfortable with daily checkups after' and felt it was worth it for her reputation, saying 'the only criticism I can find' was her prices, though he was only somewhat sure she performed the surgery herself ('She did, at least from what I can tell') since he 'fell asleep for a good part of it.' He never posted a longer-term follow-up despite repeated requests.

- team very clean and meticulous bron ↗
- would highly recommend her bron ↗
- donor scarring barely noticeable bron ↗
- chose her over NYC surgeons who didn't stand out bron ↗
- wait for regrowth is killing me bron ↗
OP first inquired about Dr. Nadimi in October 2022, when Chicago Hair Institute quoted FUE at $9/graft; he went on to get 1,600 FUE grafts from her in January 2024, traveling from NYC and paying $16,000 total ($10/graft). He called her 'one of the best,' said he would 'highly recommend' her, and praised her team as 'very meticulous,' noting 'You can tell their team is the best too just by how clean everything is immediately after the surgery.' By 10 days post-op he had only minor flaking and donor scarring he described as not noticeable to others; by 1 month he reported shedding most of the transplanted hair and called the wait for regrowth difficult ('yeah the wait is killing me haha'), but never returned to post a final result.

- 1.250 grafts ingreep 2025
- staff exceeded expectations bron ↗
- team amazing, supportive, made them feel at ease bron ↗
- procedure was smooth and pain-free bron ↗
- chose Nadimi's per-graft pricing over flat-rate competitors bron ↗
OP booked with Dr. Nadimi in October 2024 for an April-timeframe procedure, choosing her over alternatives like Munib Ahmad or Dr. Zarev because her per-graft pricing beat their flat rates; surgery ultimately happened 2025-01-27, 1,250 grafts to the crown, paid at $10/graft (~$12,500). OP described the day-of experience as smooth and pain-free, calling the team 'amazing, super supportive' and saying staff 'truly exceeded expectations,' with no complications reported. As of two days post-op, no results had been shared yet, so outcome quality itself remains unreported by OP.

u/Suitable-Matter-6151 chose Dr. Nadimi in April 2023 after comparing her to Konior, Shapiro, Panine, and Hassan & Wong, calling her 'Koniors protege' and noting she was 'very responsive to her email' with online video consultations. By August 2023, after his own surgery, he rated the donor area 'nearly undetectable' and said the transplanted area looked 'nearly indistinguishable from the rest of my hair.' In November 2023 he summed up the experience as 'Overall super happy and just wish I would have done it sooner,' likening it to 'getting Konior level work for cheap.' His final update in May 2024, on 1,500 FUE grafts done in 2023, says 'Went great. Result is excellent,' with a soft, natural hairline and no visible scarring.'

She sums it up as '10000% recommend her,' with no complications reported.

FALSECHARLATAN had his transplant with Dr. Nadimi in 2021, using roughly 1,900+ grafts and paying $16,000 (a separate post of his cites $14,000 for the same procedure with her, 'here in the states'). Early on, in an October 2021 post-op thread, he was simply following her aftercare guidance, saying he'd 'double check with her per usual.' By a 2024 post he said the result 'improved my MENTAL health' enough that he felt the price was fair; at his most detailed update, 2.5 years out, he called it overall 'the best money I've ever spent,' but by his own admission is also 'not pleased with it long term,' citing regret over not getting more grafts and thinning now appearing in the transplanted area.

pmarct had a consult with Dr. Nadimi around mid-January 2026 and booked a procedure about five months out (around June 2026), after weighing her against another surgeon at her clinic and against going abroad, including Dr. Pekiner. He said he 'ultimately didn't want to go abroad and felt better about nadimi over the new guy due to her experience,' and noted 'everyone at that office was kind and friendly.' By December 2025 he had already said he was 'going to Nadimi in a few months,' and as of a July 2026 comment on another surgeon's review thread he still described himself as considering Nadimi.

Rage_Bug posted in April 2026 that they had a hairline-refinement surgery scheduled with Dr. Nadimi for 1,500 or more grafts at $11 per graft. By July 2026, commenting in a thread mainly about a different surgeon, they said they 'had a HT earlier this year with Dr. Nadimi but was considering Dr. Khatib.' No graft count, final price, technique, complications, or overall outcome verdict were given for the completed procedure.

This patient had a 1,200-graft FUE transplant with Dr. Nadimi, mainly to the temples, and posted an update 23 days post-op in 2025. They reported shedding over the prior week followed by short, thick, dark new hairs appearing sooner than expected, though they weren't sure if this was early regrowth or broken hairs. No cost or complications were mentioned. Overall they called it a "great experience btw!"

u/catoah27, a 33-year-old on finasteride for about 10 years with hairline/temple recession, is weighing Dr. Nadimi against Dr. Panine and has a consultation with Nadimi booked for October, with a budget around $25k for an estimated 2,250 FUE grafts. He hasn't had surgery yet, but based on his research he says 'Nadimi is the superior surgeon,' while noting her $11-per-graft pricing is 'a bit steep.'
