Hair transplant for Lichfield 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.

Coming to Birmingham from Lichfield

Lichfield City station is on Station Road, WS13 6HX. Check the departure station carefully when searching for tickets, and include the final journey from your Birmingham arrival point to Edmund House. An appointment time is the time to arrive at the clinic, rather than at the station.

If you are planning to be dropped off or collected, share the full Newhall Street address with the driver. Agree a collection plan after you know the expected appointment length, and check city-centre stopping and parking arrangements in advance.

Facilities at Lichfield City station

West Midlands Railway lists step-free access to all platforms at Lichfield City, but says the station has no customer toilets. The waiting room is available when the station is staffed. Check the current station facilities if either point affects your travel plans.

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.

Ask how long to set aside for the assessment and whether any photographs or information should be sent beforehand. If treatment is recommended, discuss the number and location of follow-up visits before organising further trips from Lichfield.

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.
