transplants

A hair transplant is not just the scalp. The same grafts from the back of the head, the same FUE method — only the area changes.

Beard transplant

FUE, no incisions and no stitches

A surgeon marking the beard line before a transplant at City Medical Centre

Donor grafts are taken at the back of the head and moved through micro-punctures of about 1 mm, leaving no scars. The doctor talks the shape over with you before the operation, allowing for your facial features. Transplanted hair grows for life, so the beard can be trimmed and styled as usual.

Eyebrow transplant

FUE, no incisions and no stitches

The surgeon works out the brow shape on the spot at the initial appointment, references are compared together and your facial proportions set the design. Hairs go in at the natural growth angle, so the brows never look drawn on. It also helps brows that stopped growing after years of plucking.

ask before booking

City Medical Centre doctors

Yes, without any problem. The clinic treats people no matter where their home happens to be, and the case is assessed online beforehand.

FUE: $2,200 (≈ IQD 2,900,000). DHI: $2,500 (≈ IQD 3,300,000). Combined: $2,700 (≈ IQD 3,550,000). A free consultation and graft count gives you the final, contract-fixed price with no hidden extras.

One day handles the whole operation, with home afterwards.

Pain is ruled out by local anaesthesia during the operation.

FUE is the classic method: grafts are harvested with tweezers, with no cuts or stitches. DHI implants grafts without channels, using a Choi pen. A combined method harvests grafts by FUE and implants them with the DHI pen.

Only the doctor's count is reliable, and it costs nothing once the donor zone has been checked.

A healing stage of 0–10 days comes first, then a normal 2–4 week shed. Growth follows at 3–4 months, real thickness across 6–9 months, and the finished result at 12–18 months.

A lifetime guarantee of hair growth is included, confirmed in your contract.

Clear answers about the operation for Baqubah

A person in Baqubah keeps an ordinary week around the procedure. FUE and DHI need no cuts and no stitches, they are performed under local anaesthesia, and the whole operation occupies a single day.

No trip is needed to find out where you stand in Baqubah. The online consultation is free, the doctor studies photos of the thinning area and names the number of grafts. The clinic answers 24/7, in normal hours for Baqubah.

Allow 0-10 days for healing. The transplanted hairs shed at 2-4 weeks, exactly as they are meant to, and the roots carry on working underneath. Regrowth sets in at 3-4 months, once that quiet phase is over.

Hair Transplant in Baqubah: price and what is included

Prices are in US dollars; the amount in brackets is an approximate conversion to IQD at the rate of 02.10.2026. The final price is fixed in your contract.

Patient reviews

What patients write after this operation. Reviews are translated from the original language.

Andrey M.

I had the operation a month ago. Before and after surgery they were always in touch and helped with questions about my tests. The operation itself went wonderfully, the staff are polite and masters of their craft, you feel you are in safe hands. I am recovering now, and they answer all my questions. I am happy and I recommend them!

DHI hair transplant

Pavel Sinitsyn

The best clinic of all the ones I was choosing from. No regrets at all! The result is simply amazing, I am thrilled. I recommend it to everyone: these people do great work and make people happy. Once again, a huge thank you to everyone. Roman, the head of the clinic, is the best: he was personally in touch with me and looked after my recovery. Thank you for making my dream come true.

FUE hair transplant

Maria Akopyan

I thought about an eyebrow transplant for a long time and finally went for it. At first I was afraid the result would look unnatural, but when I saw my new eyebrows I was delighted! They came out full and in harmony with my face. I can hardly believe that now I just wash my face and go, I have never felt so free. For anyone tired of constant make-up, a transplant is a real lifesaver!

Eyebrow transplant (FUE)

Alexander M.

I really wanted a thick beard, but I had problems with it. I tried every home remedy and minoxidil, and nothing helped. After a long search for the best clinic I settled on this one. Thank you so much for the service, I liked everything and now I am happy! I had the beard transplant 10 months ago and I am very pleased with the result. By the way, the music in the clinic was great, as far as I remember. A friend of mine has already come to you for a transplant on my advice and was also happy with the result. I wish you every success!

Beard transplant (FUE)

Vladimir Z.

I went to the clinic to see a trichologist and had a hair transplant. I really liked the doctor's approach, and all the recommendations helped. I want to point out that nobody tries to sell you extra services: they tell you things as they are, and if some treatment is not needed, they do not push it. Cosy and clean.

DHI hair transplant

Artem Popov

This may sound obvious, but a head of hair really changes everything in your life. You feel much more confident and go through life like a winner. And it is all thanks to the doctor at this clinic and to the staff who take care of their patients. Many thanks to the clinic for a happy life with new hair, for the comfortable conditions and for the professionalism during the hair transplant.

A Transplant in Baqubah: From Scalp Photographs to a Drawn Hairline

In Baqubah, whose 2014 population table counts 268,866 residents and whose summer heat is rare even by Iraqi standards with August highs averaging 45.3C, young men talk with the barbers of the old market about a receding hairline, and many leave with a mature decision in words: a transplant that moves follicles from a dense zone to the empty one, under local anaesthesia numbing only the working area. A transplant moves what you own and manufactures no hair from nothing, and this sentence is the first thing a serious reader accepts before any talk of lines and density.

The file begins at home with four daylight photographs of the scalp: from above, from the front, over the crown, and of the donor region behind each ear, plus a line about the baldness of fathers and uncles, because the family pattern explains half the history. Send the photographs and the description to the coordinators on Telegram and Telegram who answer at any hour, and the first reply will state whether the donor region covers your plan and to what degree of density.

The dust of the Baghdad highway and its daily traffic is familiar to every townsman, and whoever lives by the road or keeps a shop opening onto the street knows how much grit arrives in a single day, so a wide soft cap is not a luxury in a transplant file but the first tool of protection for young grafts. Choose a fabric that neither scratches nor clings, skip the tight daily one, and fold the cap's own washing into the weekly routine.

The timetable is long and known: the final result lands between month twelve and month eighteen, and the road to it passes through named stations read in the following sections, so whoever enters the track knowing its stations is seized by no panic at any single one. Copy the schedule onto a sheet and pin it where you meet it every morning, because the questions arrive from mid-road precisely, where progress pauses briefly before resuming.

The First Ten Days: Washing Without Rubbing and a Clean Cap

Across the first ten days the crusts fall, the swelling eases and the grafts settle, and washing follows the surgeon's demonstration literally: gentle pouring with no direct pressure, a soft towel pressed rather than dragged, and crusts left to detach in their own time without an impatient hand. Impatient hands are the first enemy of a fortnight in this file, and whoever guards against them guards half the result before it begins.

The town's dust keeps familiar haunts: exhaust on the Baghdad highway, the crowded lanes of the old market at noon, and the peak-hour streets of Tahrir, so keep your distance in the early weeks, delegate the shopping to a relative, and keep the cap clean and rotated. Whoever works along the road or in unloading arranges a longer cover, because fine grit settles between young hairs and drags an itch no scalp in its first month should meet.

The summer heat here ranks at the top of Iraq: mean highs of 45.0C in July and 45.3C in August, so the moderately air-conditioned room without a cold stream on the head is headquarters for the early weeks, and the gentlest outing hours are evenings on the Diyala bank where the air softens. Scalp moisture stays within whatever the surgeon recommends and nothing beyond, because invention among creams is not welcome in this file.

Winter comes rainy: most of the town's roughly 186 mm concentrates between November and March with a January mean low of 5.9C, and young grafts dislike direct wetting before the surgeon allows it, so a wide umbrella for necessary outings rather than the cap alone. Whoever must work through the rainy months plans a covered route, and hands what cannot meet the rain to a family member.

Shedding, Then Growth: An Album Read Monthly, Never Daily

Between the second and fourth week the transplanted hair shafts fall while the follicles stay anchored, a station written into the schedule that frightens a household only when nobody explained it beforehand, so explain it once and rest, and document it with a photograph in your monthly album for the surgeon's next visit. A calm house soothes a scalp better than a thousand reminders to be patient, and this sentence is said once and understood always.

New growth shows between the third and fourth month as fine hairs that thicken with time, visible density arrives between the sixth and ninth month, and from there the monthly album takes charge: one photograph each month in the same daylight and from the same fixed high angle, with one written line beside each. Weekly change escapes the daily eye, and the comparison between months draws the growth curve the way successive palm seasons draw theirs.

Visiting the barber belongs to the town's oldest habits in its old markets, so whoever keeps a regular barber postpones trimming and shaving over the grafts until explicit permission, then explains the new hairline's positions personally at the first return. The wide cap remains the companion of the sunny months, exchanged for its regular washing, because dirty fabric resting on a treated scalp is an invitation to itching nobody in the file wants.

The return to work arranges itself around the single clinic day of the operation and the home rest after it: workers on the Baghdad highway routes and the town's shifts agree a gentler week with their supervisors in advance, shopkeepers line up short cover, and anyone whose job demands a helmet or tight headgear returns last of all, because direct pressure on young grafts fits no schedule however tight.

Verification Before the Chair: A Registration Number and a Written Plan

The first sheet to inspect is not a scalp photograph but the surgeon's identity: Iraq's Ministry of Health, formed in 1920, regulates the country's health work and sets its systems, its structure holding an inspection department that monitors governmental and non-governmental facilities, and its official site is moh.gov.iq. Ask for the registration number and specialty and confirm them yourself, because experience without a number is not worth a line, and the documented number is what turns talk into accountable responsibility.

The limits of a transplant are drawn by your stock rather than a catalogue: the result's density is set by what the donor region offers, and a serious surgeon tells you the approximate number of grafts that can move and whether your plan might need a later session. Whoever promises you any line you point at without reading the limits of your supply is selling a barbershop picture rather than a transplant plan, so ask for the medical reason behind every item and request it in writing.

The written plan covers the full schedule: the single clinic day, the first washing method, the visit dates up to month twelve and beyond, and the channel that answers between visits, for the coordinators on Telegram and Telegram who answer at any hour are your channel for any urgent photograph or question between two appointments. One file gathering papers and photographs saves you half an hour of retelling at every single visit.

Compare more than one offer on cold paper from your home in Baqubah: whoever is described in broad experience with no registration number drops off first, and whoever pushes a decision inside one session or promises density beyond your stock earns one direct question, why the hurry? Ask each side for a written plan, set it aside a full day, then read it calmly, because quiet comparison exposes the gaps that verbal enthusiasm hides.

Until Month Eighteen: A Line That Faces Every Photograph With You

The final density and hairline settle between month twelve and month eighteen, when the thickened hairs mature and the line becomes part of the face rather than an addition to it, and the regular visits across the whole stretch are what keep the course on track and explain every uneven patch between zones. Whoever kept their papers and monthly photographs in one folder arrived at each visit with half the conversation already done, and that is the shortest road to peace.

Comparison photographs make the entire difference: one picture each month from above and from the front in the same daylight, with a one-line note ending each month, then the album opens before the surgeon at the visit and the curve is read together instead of guessed. Students of the University of Diyala across its fourteen colleges know the worth of ordered data, and moving that habit from lecture notebooks to a scalp album is a single small step.

As the result matures, the habits of the early weeks turn into permanent manner: the cap through the burning noon, outing hours in the evening along the banks of the Diyala, and the gentle regular washing, all of which suit a healthy scalp and protect the original hair alongside the grafts. The Mother of Oranges knows her fruit needs a whole season, and a transplanted hair needs eighteen months respected by its owner rather than argued with.

Begin the path from home as you began this reading: four daylight photographs, a line about the family history, and one clear question on whether the donor region covers your plan, all of it sent to the coordinators on Telegram and Telegram at whatever hour suits you. A town on the banks of the Diyala whose ancient name means the house of Jacob knows that serious houses are built on a considered foundation, and the line that will face every photograph with you deserves exactly that foundation.

When the Mirror Disappoints: Getting Through the Awkward Weeks

Almost everyone reaches a low point in the plan: the scabs are still visible, the transplanted shafts have shed, and the mirror offers no consolation. This moment is well known, and people who expected it treat it as a pothole rather than a cliff. Before the session, write a short note in your own hand naming the reason you chose this path, and leave it where you will see it.

Share what you are going through with someone close instead of keeping quiet. Talking to a person who has been through something similar is comforting, but let the information from the coordinating team be your reference and not the stories of others: heads differ, and comparing schedules across heads tends to cause more worry than relief.

If the worry grows, write to the coordinators at any hour with that day's photograph attached. They answer around the clock on Telegram and Telegram, and a picture paired with one specific question brings a faster reply than a general message. More often than not, reassurance comes down to a plain fact about the stage you are in.

Yarmouk, Tahrir, Sawamra: Reading Your Week by Neighbourhood

The town spreads across large districts: Yarmouk with 65,612 residents, Tahrir with 51,581 and Sawamra with 39,992 in the 2015 figures, each with a morning and evening rhythm of its own. Anyone living in a busy quarter knows that the hour of going out to the market is heavier than the rest, so it makes sense to read the answers from the team in the quiet after sunset rather than at rush hour.

If your house sits far from the centre, plan the session day and the one after it: who drives, who waits, and how the street passes your home in the early days, away from the dust of the main road. These are simple questions of geography, yet they make the recovery lighter on the whole family.

Where there are children in the house, agree on a quiet corner: no play near the head, no crowding in the bedroom, and a clear instruction to the little ones not to touch their father's scalp. The team will gladly cover these details in the consultation, so ask rather than assume.

Before You Compare Offers: Questions About the Donor Area

The donor region is capital that does not renew, so ask the surgeon before any agreement for an estimate of its limits in your case, and whether he proposes spending all of it at once or keeping a reserve for a later stage. A surgeon thinking about the next decade is different from one thinking about this season.

Ask also how the offer treats additional sessions: is the possibility written in the document from the start, or left for later? Are the time and physical cost described? Offers that skip this point leave the patient facing a surprise after months of waiting.

Do not reward speed of reply. A quick answer is no evidence of a good plan. Someone who quoted a number inside the first minute and never asked for photographs has answered about a head he has not seen. Favour the offer whose author asked you questions, attached your pictures to the file and took his time.

Is the pain of a transplant severe?

The procedure runs under local anaesthesia numbing the working area so you stay comfortable throughout, and what people remember is the brief anaesthetic injection rather than the hours of work themselves, after which sensations settle with the painkillers the surgeon sets. Mention in your first message to the coordinators on Telegram or Telegram any concern about sensitivity or a medicine you take, since your whole day is arranged around it.

Why does the transplanted hair fall in the early weeks?

Between the second and fourth week the shaft itself falls while the follicle stays anchored in place, a known station in the schedule and neither failure nor surprise, after which new growth begins from that same follicle. Explain it to your household once so nobody panics, and document the station with a photograph in the monthly album for the surgeon's next visit.

When does new growth start and when do I see density?

Fine hairs appear between the third and fourth month and thicken with time, visible density arrives between the sixth and ninth month, and the final result settles between the twelfth and eighteenth. Photograph monthly in fixed daylight and a fixed angle from your home in Baqubah and compare the album month to month, because weekly change escapes the daily eye while the monthly comparison draws the whole curve.

How do I wash my hair in the first ten days?

Exactly as the surgeon demonstrates: gentle pouring with no direct pressure and no rubbing, a soft towel pressed rather than dragged, and crusts left to detach in their own time without an impatient hand. Keep the town's dust away in that stretch regardless: highway exhaust and the old market's lanes are delegated to the family, and a clean rotated cap protects the grafts between washes.

Does 45.3C heat in August harm the transplanted hair?

Mean highs of 45.3C in August and 45.0C in July in Baqubah make the moderately air-conditioned room and the wide soft cap the companions of the early weeks, with the gentlest outing hours in the evening on the Diyala bank, no direct pressure and no burning sun on the grafts. Winter brings the town's bundled rains of roughly 186 mm between November and March, so no direct wetting before the surgeon allows it and a wide umbrella when an outing is necessary.

When can I return to my work on the Baghdad highway?

The procedure takes its single day at the clinic and then you go home to a home-rest regime the surgeon lays out, so agree a gentler opening week with your supervisor in advance, and anyone needing a helmet or tight headgear for work returns last of all. Postpone barbering and trimming until explicit permission, and explain the new hairline's positions to the barber yourself at the first return to his chair.

How many grafts can my plan carry?

That number comes from the examination of your donor region rather than your preference, because the result's density is drawn by your own supply and not by sample pictures, and a serious surgeon states the approximate quantity and whether the plan needs a later session. Ask for the complete plan in writing with a medical reason for each item, and step away from anyone promising density beyond your stock in one session without an examination.

How do I verify a surgeon from Baqubah before any appointment?

Iraq's Ministry of Health, formed in 1920, regulates the country's health work through an inspection department monitoring governmental and non-governmental facilities, and its official site is moh.gov.iq, so ask for the registration number and specialty and confirm them yourself before any commitment. Send your scalp photographs and your question about donor supply to the coordinators on Telegram and Telegram who answer at any hour, and request the answers in writing to read calmly at home.

Should the whole donor area be used in one session?

That is the surgeon's call for your own case. Ask at the consultation how he estimates the limits of your donor region and whether part of it could be reserved for a later stage, and have the answer written into your plan.

How do I cope with discouragement in the first weeks?

It is an expected stage. Scabs and shedding are not failure, and the daily mirror misleads; keep monthly photographs, ask the coordinators where you stand, and write down your reason for choosing the path before the session so you can return to it.
