FUE Hair Transplant Review

I recently got FUE procedure done with Motion Clinic. Motion Clinic is still very responsive pre and post op. The manager, the doc, the nurses were all very nice and made the whole experience as comfortable as it could be for a foreigner. I highly recommend motion Clinic. Hope to see good results with it. Before this I had read many threads on here so I thought I’ll return the favor by posting my experience and review. Jan 2024 Chose Korea instead of Turkey because wanted to make a trip to Korea for vacation out of it. Didn’t feel like there was much for me to do in Turkey Reached out to multiple clinics to get consultation, graft estimates, and pricing. Motion Clinic was mid price but what stood out was the service from the manager that spoke English and not pushy on the services. Very responsive to all questions asked. Some of the other clinics I would have had to hire a translator. I’d say when you’re doing a procedure like this in a foreign country, having someone that speaks your language definitely helps lower anxiety levels. Plus there were many reviews on Reddit and YouTube about Motion Clinic. Booked motion. Note: Didn’t watch any HT videos as I didn’t want to think about it. Just watched results and had a friend that had done FUE at another clinic that had great results. I didn’t know what to expect. Day 0 Design, Consultation, Step by Step schedule, and 3 part HT. 9am appointment but was asked to come in at 8:30am the day before to have extra time to consult if needed. The manager went through everything and talked about his own HT experience and results. As soon as I step foot in the door I was taken to a small room to change clothes. This part felt super sketch to me because it wasn’t what I expected. I thought I would at least consult with someone first but I guess I already flew to Korea so I was already committed. Design and consultation was straight forward and simple as discussed via email. My hair line wasn’t receding so there was nothing to design but just fill in frontal. I do wish they fade the grafts to the back a bit more but they told me it’s better do the crown vortex at a later time. I still have hair there just not as dense as it was before. They said finasteride would help with crown vortex and I can decide a year later. i may not even notice it when the frontal fully grows in. Part 1 HT - Numbing and extraction. I was told the numbing would be the most unpleasant part and it was. It took like 5 long mins and what felt like 60+ shots. It was like at the dentist when they give you 1-2 numbing shots but in the donor areas instead of inside your mouth. Hate going to the dentist for this and hated it here too. Once donor area was numbed i didn’t feel much of the extraction. Part 2 HT incision Poking holes in to receiving area. Same experience as part 1 for numbing. Did not feel much of the incision but could hear the incision. Lunch Was told that my grafts looked good but I wish they had told me what the count of hair was or Atleast shown me the grafts. Part 3 HT Implanting the grafts I was all numbed up so this part was easy. However, you’re just laying there for 2.5-3 hours while the nurses implanting the graphs. Wish I could have listen to headphones or something but all we had was the Korean radio. When they finish they clean you up, take some pictures, wrap your head in gauze, and place a black thing over your head that makes it look like you’re wearing a beanie which is a nice touch. Made my payment, went to pharmacy downstairs to get pain meds, anti biotic, and I was done by 5pm or so. Earlier than the expected 6pm. I felt fine post op and walked around Korea department stores for a bit, had dinner, and went back to hotel. Day 1 post op Returned to Motion Clinic at around 1pm to remove all the wraps and get head gently washed. There was still a lot of dried blood in the donor area. Receiving area was just red. This took about 15 minutes. They give you an oversize bucket hat to go on with your day. Again I felt fine and explored Korea for a bit. Day 2-4 I went back to clinic to get my head washed then proceeded with my day with bucket hat. Head was itchy every night. I may have lightly scratched the receiving area once in my sleep and woke up to it. Ran to mirror to check and thankfully I missed the area. Also, the wind almost blew my bucket hat off and my instinct was to catch the hat before it did and my hand bumped the area but clinic says everything was also fine. On Day 5 now and heading back home. Grafts should be anchored in now. This was long write up but hope it helps others. I am still in the early stages and haven’t seen results yet but I still recommend Motion Clinic for anyone thinking about HT. Everything seems to line up with others experiences.
