Did Chloe Goodman have a hair transplant? Yes, and she explained why

According to the interview, she had the transplant in June 2025 and paid £6,500. She described the day itself in plain terms: “It was painful as injections usually are, but most women can cope with anything once they’ve been through childbirth.” And she added that once the area was numbed she relaxed so much that she fell asleep during the procedure.

Her advice to other women was just as direct: “Having a hair transplant can be life changing. My advice would be to speak to other women who have had it done and make sure you do your research.”

That is all this article relies on. Where the text below explains techniques, timelines and prices, it describes hair transplantation in general and the service at City Medical Centre, not her treatment.

She also admitted she worried people would think she was making a fuss about nothing.

Her account touches on something doctors hear often: hair loss after pregnancy is common and frequently temporary, but when the hairline itself changes and does not recover, it can become a constant source of anxiety. That is exactly why the first step is a medical assessment of the cause, not a booking. A transplant moves existing hair; it does not treat every type of hair loss, and some causes need other treatment first.

• DHI — grafts are implanted with a special pen (Choi implanter) without pre-made channels, which gives fine control over angle and direction.

A combined approach (FUE extraction with DHI implantation) is also used. Which option fits depends on the extent of hair loss and the donor area, so the choice is made at a consultation, not from a celebrity story.

There are also contraindications, including patchy (focal) alopecia, age under 18, trichotillomania, body dysmorphic disorder, severe heart disease, diabetes mellitus, epilepsy and intolerance to anaesthetics. The surgeon checks these before a date is booked. Before the operation you usually stop alcohol and blood-thinning medicines for the period the doctor names, and the hair at the donor area is trimmed short on the day.

Transplanted hairs usually shed in weeks two to four — that is normal, the follicles stay under the skin — and new growth starts after three to four months. Density becomes clearly visible at six to nine months, and the final result is judged at 12–18 months, which is why patience matters more than the first photos.

Goodman herself said she expected to see the end result about a year after the operation, which matches the usual timeline.

The price includes follow-up appointments at 1, 3, 6, 9 and 12 months, and the clinic gives a lifetime guarantee of hair growth. More details are on the hair transplant page and the page for patients from London.

To be clear: City Medical Centre has no connection with Chloe Goodman or her treatment. Her words are quoted here only because Chloe chose to talk about the procedure openly.
