Hair transplant for West Bromwich 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.

Reaching Birmingham from West Bromwich

For a rail option, Sandwell & Dudley station is on Bromford Road in West Bromwich, B70 7JD. Check whether travelling to that station suits your starting point, then allow for the journey from the Birmingham arrival station to Edmund House.

Compare rail with the bus or tram routes shown for your postcode in the regional journey planner. Check the final stop and onward walk rather than choosing solely on the time shown for the main part of the journey.

Sandwell & Dudley station access

The Sandwell & Dudley station guide includes accessibility, parking and toilet information. Some facilities have opening hours, so check the details for the time you plan to travel. Ask the clinic separately about access to the building and consultation room.

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.

Tell the clinic if you need help coordinating the appointment with public transport or a lift. Confirm the expected duration and any information to bring. You can ask about a treatment quote and follow-up visits during the assessment without committing to surgery.

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.
