Hair transplant for Dudley patients

What the consultation should cover

Bring a list of your medication and details of any previous hair loss treatment. Explain which changes concern you and what you would like to achieve. Ask the clinician to assess the cause of the loss, your donor hair and the limits of the proposed result.

Before agreeing to surgery, ask who will perform it, where it will take place and how follow-up care is arranged. You can read about Dr Harpreet Kalra before preparing your questions. An enquiry or consultation does not commit you to treatment.

Travelling from Dudley

If you are considering rail, Dudley Port station is listed on Station Drive, off Dudley Port, DY4 8UB. Include the journey to the station when checking whether that route suits you. Compare it with a bus or car journey from your own address to Edmund House.

For bus travel, enter your starting postcode and Newhall Street as the destination. Check the final Birmingham stop and how you will reach the building entrance from there. Leave room for changes in traffic and the time needed to find the consultation room.

Checking Dudley Port before travelling

The Dudley Port station page carries notices about works, parking and changes affecting the station. Check it close to the appointment date if your plan depends on parking there or using station facilities. Do not assume that a car park space or a particular facility will be available on arrival.

Use the Transport for West Midlands journey planner to compare the complete route to Newhall Street. Check services for your appointment date and allow time to reach the building entrance.

Treatment options, results and risks

A hair transplant moves hair from a donor area to an area of thinning or baldness. FUE removes follicular units individually; FUT uses a strip of hair-bearing scalp. Both leave scars. You can also ask whether the DHI approach described on our treatment page is relevant to your proposed plan.

Surgery has risks, including bleeding, infection, a reaction to anaesthetic and an unsatisfactory result. Some grafts may not grow, and surrounding hair can continue to thin. The NHS hair transplant guide explains these limitations. Ask the surgeon how they apply to you and what would happen if you needed further care.

The photographs above show individual results from our clinic group. They do not predict your outcome. When viewing before and after photographs, ask about the treatment performed and the time between the pictures.

Costs and planning any further visits

Ask for a written quote based on the proposed treatment. Check what it includes, how follow-up is provided and whether any additional visits or treatment would carry a separate charge. Our hair transplant cost guide explains the questions to raise before booking.

When booking from Dudley, ask for the consultation length before arranging a return ticket or collection. If surgery is later agreed, obtain separate confirmation of its location and the aftercare plan, including how any concerns will be assessed.

Recovery instructions depend on the procedure and your circumstances. Discuss work, washing, exercise and transport with the treating team. The aftercare guide and recovery timeline are general information; follow the instructions given for your own treatment.
