A hair loss professor's journey at H-hair Clinic in Gangnam, Seoul, Korea

 I first heard about H-hair clinic in Gangnam, Seoul, Korea through my trusted plastic surgeon, who noticed how deeply my hairline had receded and how pronounced my M-shaped temples had become. As a university professor in my mid‐fifties, I stand before students and colleagues every day—yet I felt my thinning hair made me look older and undermined my confidence before each lecture.

Initial Consultation

On the day of my first visit, the H-hair team welcomed me warmly. They photographed my hairline from front and side angles under consistent lighting, then invited me into a private consultation room. There, Dr. Kim (the lead surgeon) gently reviewed my medical history—emphasizing my genetic predisposition to androgenetic alopecia—and discussed my lifestyle, daily routines, and even my lecturing schedule. We agreed that I needed a natural‐looking hairline with a modest forward shift, while keeping the donor area completely unshaven so I could continue teaching without visible signs of surgery.





Treatment Planning

After outlining the non‐shaven Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) technique, they drafted a digital hairline design that complemented my facial proportions and restored a youthful forehead contour. An initial estimate of 3,500 grafts was given, but during scalp mapping they discovered additional healthy grafts in the donor zone. To achieve optimal density—especially at the M-temple recesses and the sparse crown—they ultimately scheduled 4,100 grafts.

Surgical Day

On the morning of the procedure, I arrived early to the sleek, state-of-the-art clinic. The medical team administered local anesthesia and meticulously harvested grafts one follicle at a time from my occipital donor area—no shaving, no linear scar. Throughout the six-hour session, they maintained constant communication, ensuring I remained comfortable. Each recipient site was created at precise angles to mimic natural hair growth, resulting in a soft, irregular hairline and seamlessly filled temples.








Postoperative Care and Management

Immediately after surgery, I received detailed instructions:

Wound Care: Gentle saline sprays and light scalp washing after 24 hours.

Medications: Daily oral finasteride to block DHT, and twice-daily topical minoxidil to enhance blood flow.

Lifestyle Adjustments: Temporary avoidance of strenuous exercise for two weeks, and sun protection recommendations.

The clinic scheduled follow-up visits at  1 month, 6 months, and 12 months, each including high-resolution photos and trichoscopic assessments. At every visit, the team adjusted my topical regimen and nutritional supplements based on my individual response, ensuring the highest graft survival and overall scalp health.

One-Year Transformation

A full twelve months later, the results speak for themselves. My hairline now frames my face naturally, the M-shaped temples are no longer visible, and the crown shows robust regrowth. More importantly, my self-assurance has soared—I no longer worry about hiding under hats or avoiding certain angles on video. Today I stand at the lectern feeling energetic and authentic. When I catch my reflection in the podium’s glass or glance at classroom monitors, I smile—because I see the real me.








H-hair clinic in Gangnam, Seoul, Korea didn’t just transplant follicles; they restored my vitality and teaching presence. I’m deeply grateful for their creative, future-oriented approach and personalized care.

How much will it change if 4,000 hairs are planted?

 The most important key point is how much hair loss has occurred? How much hair will be collected? And how strong is the hair? This is a man in his mid 60s. He came to our clinic after seeing the transformation of a friend who had previously received a hair transplant. His hair is overall thin, there is not much hair that can be collected, and there are a lot of places that need to be planted. His friend had a hair transplant because his condition was worse than this, but he came to the hospital because his appearance had reversed. In this case, calculating the amount of hair that needs transplantation is meaningless. The important thing is to measure how much can be harvested. If you go to another place for consultation in this condition, they will give you this estimate. 5,500 hairs is enough. 6,000 hairs are possible using the mixed method. In most cases, the estimate will be given by increasing the number of hairs in some way. Most of them are consulting directors, so they don'...

 Hair transplant that I had been waiting for,,,, The customer goes to Gangnam according to the family's hair transplant plan. Situations requiring a hair transplant from the hairline to the top of the head The question is, how much can be harvested? I wonder how much I should plant... When I calculated the minimum amount of hair to be planted, it was over 6,000 hairs. Looking at the amount that can be collected, about 3600 hairs is the best. Since it was still a condition at the top of the head with a secondary possibility, the incision method was recommended and accepted... Design and target empty spaces and haze areas first using KNS-mixed pattern and HIH, HIE techniques. The transplanted hair was placed appropriately from front to back. And then he returned to America. I knew things were getting better because I occasionally contacted you through KakaoTalk. Two years later, I was able to see you again. We take regular photos that we check and compare them. fortal view top view...
