Achtergrond
Dr. Sean Behnam is de enige chirurg bij Dermatology & Hair Restoration Specialists, een solopraktijk in Los Angeles die zich op de site Hair Restoration Los Angeles noemt 1. Hij doet maar één ingreep per dag, en zegt dat het personeel zich daardoor niet opgejaagd voelt 1. Volgens de kliniek volgde hij na zijn medische opleiding een verdere opleiding in haarherstel bij de Distefano Hair Restoration Centers 1. De kliniek stelt dat hij sinds 2008 FUE uitvoert 3.
Behandelingen en technieken
De praktijk biedt FUE, FUT/strip-oogst en megasessies van 4.000 tot meer dan 7.000 grafts, met een vermeld record van 7.300 grafts in één sessie 4. Dr. Behnam zegt dat hij elke extractie met de punch zelf uitvoert in plaats van dit over te laten aan een verpleegkundige of physician assistant 3. Hij stelt ook dat alleen hij de ontvangende openingen maakt en de plaatsingshoek bepaalt, terwijl technici de grafts uit de strip prepareren 2. De punches zijn ongeveer 1 mm, met een vermeld transectiepercentage van ongeveer 0,9% tot 2,1%, en omdat grafts onder de huid krullen, zegt de kliniek dat hij zijn punch tijdens de extractie buigt om ze zonder schade te verwijderen 3. De ingreep gebeurt alleen onder lokale verdoving, en patiënten gaan naar huis met alleen een hoofdband 2. Kandidaten met algemene, diffuse dunner wordende haren worden geweigerd omdat het donorgebied ook is aangetast 6. De dekking wordt gepland met een vermelde formule van ongeveer 25 tot 35 grafts per vierkante centimeter, plus ongeveer 400 grafts voor een nieuwe haarlijn 6.
Prijzen
De kliniek publiceert geen eigen prijs. Haar kostenpagina beschrijft de markt in het algemeen: een haartransplantatie "generally ranges from $10,000 to $17,000 depending on where you live", het type ingreep, reiskosten en het aantal grafts 5. Ze biedt financiering tegen 0% voor maximaal 24 maanden via CareCredit, plus korting bij flexibele planning op korte termijn 5.
Boeken en nazorg
De pagina's noemen verschillende duur voor het consult: de pagina over megasessies noemt een uur, maandag tot en met vrijdag, voor $100 die wordt verrekend met de ingreep 4. De consultpagina noemt het juist een sessie van 45 minuten met Dr. Behnam zelf 6. Het bezoek omvat uitleg over haarverlies, microscopische haaranalyse, berekening van de dichtheid en het in kaart brengen van het haar 6. Na afloop krijgen patiënten het directe mobiele nummer van Dr. Behnam, en hij zegt patiënten in de twee weken daarna graag meerdere keren kosteloos te zien 1.

Icy-Mushroom-1244 had a hair transplant with Dr. Sean Behnam in Los Angeles around August 2023, getting 5,100 grafts split across two sessions days apart, for $25,000 with no hidden fees and all medications and laser treatments included; Behnam also covered 50% of her hotel costs since she traveled from a couple hours away. Across dozens of recommendations posted from mid-2025 into July 2026, she consistently reports being very happy, writing in one two-year follow-up that she is 'happier than I've been in 20+ years' and that 'He did a great job and I regret nothing,' noting Behnam kept checking in with her over that time. She credits the personalized care — Behnam personally handling extractions, requesting daily calls during recovery, and seeing her again the day after surgery — and mentions no complications throughout.

u/rezmanesh had two FUE procedures with Dr. Sean Behnam in Santa Monica for an NW7 pattern with weak donor density, totaling 9,419 grafts (7,271 scalp, 2,148 beard) across the sessions; no surgery dates or price were stated. Behnam had OP spend about a year building up donor density with topicals before operating, and by 10 months post-op after the first stage OP reported NW7-level coverage restored with visibly improved donor density, calling the result 'beyond anything I expected.' OP repeatedly praised Behnam, in one post calling him 'the best—both an artist and a genuinely caring person,' and noted his responsiveness, including an immediate reply to an after-hours text. OP's most recent post confirms a second procedure has since been completed, though no new outcome details are given yet.

She had her hair transplant with Dr. Sean Behnam at Hair Restoration Los Angeles / Dermitology & Hair Restoration Specialists around August 2023, receiving 5,100 grafts to the front scalp for a stated $25,000 USD; Behnam personally extracted the grafts in the morning, with technicians implanting them the same afternoon. Across dozens of posts recommending him from December 2024 through April 2025, her assessment stayed consistently positive — calling him 'a great surgeon,' 'over the moon with the results,' and at her one-year mark, 'I feel fucking great.' She credited him for meeting with her twice before surgery, not being pushy or sales-focused, using smaller extraction tools she felt caused less damage, and personally committing to handle emergencies if grafts were dislodged. No complications or negative outcomes appear anywhere in her reports.

u/quemaspuess had an FUE hair transplant with Dr. Sean Behnam (spelled 'Benham' by the poster) in Santa Monica, CA, receiving 2,067 grafts into his mid-scalp around 2022; no price is stated. Soon after surgery he said Behnam 'messaged me every morning to see how I feel' and that 'I can’t imagine having chose someone else,' rating him 'Benham is 10/10. He’s the nicest guy you’ll ever meet and I have exceptional results.' At the one-year mark (2023) he reported he was 'amazed by the results' and that 'the work speaks for itself,' though he noted the transplanted hair grew in noticeably darker than his natural hair. In a 2024 follow-up comment he remained positive, saying Behnam 'was so kind and thorough throughout the process, and did a great job on my head.'

OkDefinition983 had a two-day, roughly 5,100-graft procedure with Dr. Sean Behnam in Los Angeles in 2023, paying $25,000 total, and became one of the subreddit's most frequent recommenders of him over the following year of comments. They describe Behnam as designing his own extraction tools, personally performing extractions himself, and keeping grafts chilled to maximize survival, crediting this for a donor area that 'typically heals up quite well.' At 11-12 months post-op they reported 'excellent coverage and density' and said 'I wouldn't change a thing,' with no complications ever mentioned. They repeatedly steered other prospective US patients toward him, at one point writing 'If I had to do it all over again I would go to him in a heartbeat.'

He reported being fed and monitored during the procedure and never left alone afterward, with an 'incredible follow-up' through appointments, calls, and video calls. In later posts he called the clinic 'one of the best I have known,' said he 'highly recommend[s]' Dr. Behnam, and described maintaining direct communication with the doctor to follow up on his recovery. Most recently he summarized it plainly: 'I had 3,500 hair grafts, and I had a very good experience.'

OP had a two-day, 5,700-graft procedure with Dr. Sean Behnam in 2024, paying $27,500 (~$7.40/graft for 3,700 grafts, with Behnam adding roughly 2,000 more at no extra charge), and reported Behnam personally performed all extraction, site creation, and placement. OP called it 'He truly changed my world!' and, at 7-month follow-ups, reiterated 'Best decision of my life' and that Behnam 'couldn't have done a better job or been more professional.' No complications were mentioned across any of the three posts. A couple of commenters (not OP) questioned the authenticity of the reviews, but OP's own reporting was consistently and strongly positive.

Posting three near-identical updates on 2023-07-16 at 7 months post-op, he says he 'could not be happier with the results,' crediting Behnam's unhurried consultation, his advice against a lower hairline, and his continued personal responsiveness (texts answered months later). No complications or negatives were reported.

From day one through his 8-month update he reported consistent satisfaction, saying the process had 'exceeded my expectations' right after surgery and, by six months, that he 'don't regret my decision to go with Dr Benham at all,' also describing Benham as very communicative after the procedure. No complications were mentioned at any stage.

They called the beard extraction 'same level of pain' as the back of the head, and posted right after surgery that they 'Cant wait to see the results!!!' Two separate commenters asked for an after-photo update in 2025 — one weighing Behnam after being quoted 'an absurd rate' elsewhere — but OP never replied or posted an outcome, so no final result or verdict is available.
