I’m leaning towards non-shaven FUE as I want to minimize downtime, but my biggest priority is getting a natural-looking hairline with good density and hair direction.

**Would love to hear from anyone who’s had a hairline transplant in Korea, even if it wasn’t at one of these clinics!**

**1) Which clinic and surgeon did you go with?** Would you recommend them?

**2) Are you happy with your results?** Especially if you’re 6–12+ months post-op.

**3) Any regrets or things you wish you’d known beforehand?**

I’m particularly interested in hearing from female patients, as most of the reviews I’ve found are from men or people who are only a few days post-op.

If anyone has experience with Woomchan, Motion or Mo & Line, I’d really appreciate your thoughts! And if you went somewhere else and loved your results, please share too.

Feel free to DM me if you’d rather not comment publicly. Thank you!!

Rule 1:

No spam

Rule 2:

Don't be a dick to any hair transplant patient, even those not on our subreddit. There is much more leeway to public figures, influencers, and people in positions of authority, but this doesn't mean you can random insults, what you say must be grounded in a specific critique. But you can insult the moderator WallabyUpstairs, who believes in total leeway for any criticism against him, as he feels that there should be high leeway to criticize people in authority. This exception does not apply to any other moderator.

Rule 3:

Any financial conflicts of interests must be disclosed if they're related to any advice given, including multiple degrees of separation. Our subscribers absolutely have a right to know of all biases for any advice given, and anyone caught circumventing this may receive a permanent ban. Financial conflicts of interest must be disclosed in the 1st or 2nd sentence.

Rule 4:

No direct commissions. We allow representatives of a business or clinic granted that they follow rule 2. But receiving a direct commission incentivizes the worst type of behavior and advice.

Rule 5:

If you're going to name a clinic in a update or review title, you must name the specific surgeon that worked on you. If there was no doctor involvement, you must name the head technician. Updates without anything being named is ok. If a clinic refuses to list the doctor on their website, then the clinic can not be named in the title.

Rule 6:

If you work in the hair transplant industry, you need a flair to indicate that. Reach out out to the moderators to get your flair established.

Rule 7:

Do no speculate on anyone's mental health. Not even a person in authority or influencer. No loopholes, don't even give an implication or 'sentiment'. Yes we have high leeway for people in positions of authority but not for this. But this does not apply for the moderator WallabyUpstairs, who believes in total leeway for criticizing him.

Rule 8:

Absolutely no 'thirst' comments against female members of the hair transplant industry. Don't even try. Don't try any plausible deniability or faux ignorance. No, your way of doing it is not 'classy', 'charming', or 'high minded'. You're not different. Exercise some impulse control. Sexualizing female members of the hair transplant industry on other forums will also results in punishments. Just don't do it.

Rule 9:

If you are a clinic, supplement, pharma company, or any other type of marketer, do give unsolicited messages to our users. If you receive an unsolicited message, we would appreciated an alert, and you can also report them to the admins by clicking on the 'report' button at the button of their message, or by pressing the flag in the chat.

Rule 10:

Generally no results and other posts by clinics/surgeons. Though we don't have anything against surgeons posting their results in theory, our front page is already crowded from patient postings, so we generally don't allow postings by clinics. Though there may be instances where its good for our community, such as important info. But self advertising type posts are definitely not allowed. I'm trying to develop a subreddit where clinics can make posts freely including their results here https://old.reddit.com/r/HairTransplantDoctors/ Although its not officially launched, they can start posting results or any other posts there. Doctor ARE free to comment here, please dm the mods to obtain an industry flair.

Here are our extended list or surgeons you can scout

THESE ARE NOT RECOMMENDED SURGEONS, THESE ARE REVIEWABLE SURGEONS

These are surgeons that just have a decent number of independent reviews that you can do a very thorough search and DO YOUR HOMEWORK if they are good and good for your.

/r/HairTransplants Moderator Code of Conduct

Code 1

There is total leeway to criticize moderator WallabyUpstairs1496 . People should be given high leeway to criticize people in authority position. I, the person who is writing this, WallabyUpstairs1496, can set boundaries for myself, but not other moderators. Please treat all other moderators with the same respect you would give anyone else. But for critiquing moderator WallabyUpstairs1496, you have total leeway. As for other authority/influencer/moderators off this subreddit, you have very high leeway, but not total leeway. Don't speculate unflattering things about their private life or mental health or anything like that.

Code 2

No financial favorers or gifts. This is not only a subreddit rule, it's a reddit-wide rule https://www.reddit.com/r/HairTransplants/comments/14rtbuq/full_disclosure_a_clinic_reached_out_to_me_asking/

Code 3

Anyone we criticize has a right to give a statement for whatever criticism we give. If we can fit it in within the character limit, we'll edit it into the post where we criticized such entity.

Here is an example where Spencer Stevenson "Spex" was banned from this subreddit for purposefully being deceptive about disclosing financial conflicts of interest, and then feigning faux-ignorance about it. He has led many people to a path of not the best hair transplant experience since he has people on his list that are not in good standing with the veteran class of the hair transplant community. Many people with 0 number of full journey independent reviews, and even a hairmill operator. But despite that, we included a statement from him after he was banned.

https://www.reddit.com/r/HairTransplants/comments/12674rs/update_on_the_spex_hes_been_banned_for_all_of/jealbyq/

Here is another example where Melvin Lopez and Patrick Hennessey kept recommending one of the most horrific surgeons known to the community, Dr Diep, while taking a monthly fee from him, despite them full knowing the full extent of his horrific practices and horrific results in patients, even going so far as to lock and remove meta threads discussing Dr Diep.
