Half of those asking hear a no

If the issue calls for no operation at all, the doctor states it during the consultation, so your money is not touched. Read below about the situations in which a transplant genuinely works.

A man with thinning hair at a consultation: a case where a hair transplant helps

What surgery can change

  • Androgenetic or diffuse alopecia
  • A receding hairline
  • A high hairline
  • Insufficient hair density
  • Genetic traits of hair growth
  • Effects left by an injury or burn
  • Hair loss post-illness
  • Shedding tied to hormonal imbalance

Somewhere between the two of them?

Just leave a number. The coordinator asks for photos of the affected area in a messenger, a doctor looks at them and tells you whether a transplant would help you. No fee and nothing to book.

The scalp is not the only area. The same grafts from the back of the head, the same FUE method — only the zone changes.

Beard transplant

FUE, no incisions and no stitches

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

Grafts are collected from the donor area at the back of the head and moved through micro-punctures of about 1 mm, which leaves no scars. The doctor discusses the shape with you before the operation, taking your facial features into account. Transplanted hair grows for life and can be trimmed and styled as usual.

Eyebrow transplant

Contour first: the surgeon draws it at the first appointment, references are lined up for comparison, and the design follows your facial proportions. Hairs set at the growth angle make the brows look natural up close. Where years of plucking stopped growth, this is the answer.

    I am sharing my experience, because before the operation I went through a pile of reviews myself and was looking for real stories. I had a beard transplant six months ago. Honestly, in the first days after the procedure I felt a little jittery: my face looked unfamiliar, there was slight swelling and small scabs. In the first couple of months the hair partly fell out, as the doctor had warned. But now the result truly makes me very happy) From about the 4th month active, even growth began. The transplanted hair took very well, the beard now looks as natural as possible, no bald patches are left. The beard became much thicker and denser, with the shape I had thought about for a long time. All in all, I recommend the clinic, the doctor was polite and explained everything 👍 The result is definitely worth it!

What people ask

We answer what people
ask before booking

People often say hair implants, but no artificial hair is used. In a hair transplant the doctor moves your own follicles (grafts) from the donor area to thinning or bald areas using FUE or DHI.

City Medical Centre doctors

Yes — patients from other cities and countries are welcome, and you can start with a free online consultation.

Prices start at $2,200 (≈ €2,000) for FUE, $2,500 (≈ €2,250) for DHI, and $2,700 (≈ €2,450) for the combined method. Your final price is set after a free graft count and locked into the contract.

The whole operation is completed in one day, with no overnight stay needed.

It helps with stable pattern hair loss and a receding hairline when there are enough donor grafts. Some types of alopecia need treatment first; the doctor checks this at the consultation.

It isn't painful: local anaesthesia is used throughout the surgery.

FUE relies on tweezer harvesting with no incisions or stitches. DHI relies on Choi-pen implantation without channels. The combined DHI+FUE approach harvests by FUE and implants by DHI.

Your graft count is worked out for free by the doctor during the consultation, based on the donor zone.

Healing takes 0–10 days. Transplanted hair sheds at 2–4 weeks, which is normal. New growth starts at 3–4 months, with noticeable density at 6–9 months and the final result at 12–18 months.

You get a lifetime hair growth guarantee, written into the contract.

Hair transplant for patients from Bremen

A patient in Bremen keeps an ordinary schedule: FUE and DHI are carried out without cuts or stitches, under local anaesthesia, in one day. Graft survival is 98-100 %, and a price from $2,200 (≈ €2,000) is fixed in the contract after a free count of the grafts.

The start costs nothing in Bremen: a free online consultation where the doctor sees photos of the thinning area and gives a graft count. The clinic is on the line 24/7, so you can write during a break rather than at night.

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 Bremen: price and what is included

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

Well-known people who spoke openly about this operation, in their own words.

All stories about this operation →

Papers to collect, in the order they should arrive

Bremen is a city-state: the city itself counted 588,413 residents on 31 December 2025, and the state, with Bremerhaven, 706,915. Whatever the size of the place, a decision about hair surgery is best taken with a folder rather than a feeling. Start one today, with a sheet for each document and a note of the date it reached you.

Identity of the provider goes first. Collect the medical licence number, the name of the company that stands behind the care, and the names of the doctors you will meet. The clinic itself invites checking before payment, with diplomas and certificates of its doctors open to inspection, so ask for scans today instead of accepting a promise of a viewing later. A reputable team treats the request as ordinary.

Second, the plan of treatment. It should state which of three techniques is intended: extraction with forceps and no stitches, implantation through a Choi pen with no channel-making, or a mixed protocol that harvests one way and places the other way. A reason for the choice, in the doctor's words, belongs in the same sheet.

Third, the contract for medical services. Holding a surgery date means leaving a deposit, in person by card or remotely, and the terms are entered into this document. Take it home and read it with a pen in your hand. Underline every sentence you cannot retell in your own words, and send exactly those sentences to the coordinator before the day is over. Then add a fourth sheet, the list of tests required ahead of surgery, which the clinic outlines together with instructions for completing them.

Order matters because each sheet checks the previous one. A technique named in the plan must be the technique named in the contract; the doctor named in the plan must be the doctor on the licence list. When two sheets disagree, do not choose between them. Return both to the coordinator and ask for a corrected pair.

Several sources for one doctor

The Bundesärztekammer's page for Bremen says that patients in the state can inform themselves about practising doctors through several sources. The Kassenärztliche Vereinigung Bremen runs a search at kvhb.de/arztsuche that finds doctors with a contract practice, a separate hospital guide names the senior hospital physicians, and the Ärztekammer Bremen can be telephoned with questions. These tools describe doctors working in the state. For any surgeon, wherever the person practises, the transferable habit is the same: ask which register or chamber lists the doctor and request the entry, and treat an answer that cannot be written down as a reason to ask again.

At the clinic the team consists of hair transplant doctors, a trichologist, a dermatovenereologist and a plastic surgeon with assistants. One rule matters more than the list: the doctor who meets you at the consultation is the doctor at the operating table. Ask for that sentence to be repeated in writing, with the doctor's name.

A friend's recommendation is not a register entry, so check a name against a register even when someone vouches for it; the entry gives the doctor's specialty as the register records it.

Once the name is confirmed, move to questions that only the doctor can answer. How many grafts do you expect to need, and on what evidence? Which zone is the priority if the supply is limited? Would you advise against the operation for someone with my history, and on what grounds? Who is available to me if I notice something odd on a weekend? Write the answers beside the questions and date them.

Published results deserve the same scrutiny. The clinic shows patient results as they are, at 8–12 months after surgery. When you look at a photograph, ask which technique was used, how long after the operation it was taken and whether the lighting matches the earlier picture. A fair comparison needs the same angle and the same light.

Section 52 of the Social Code, read slowly

Paragraph 2 of section 52 in the Fifth Book of the Social Code concerns anyone who has an aesthetic operation without medical indication. It says that the statutory health insurer makes the patient bear a fitting share of the cost of treating resulting illness, and that sick pay may be refused or recovered. Hair transplants are not named in the clause.

That leaves a practical question and no assumption: would your insurer treat a given complication under this paragraph? Only the insurer can answer, and the answer is best obtained in writing before the operation instead of after it. Compose one short message that names the planned procedure, the technique, the type of anaesthesia (local), and asks how the insurer would handle the cost of any complication. Request a reply with a reference you can quote later.

Keep the insurer's answer in the same folder as the contract. The price is not a matter for the insurer in any case: the sum is worked out at the free consultation after grafts are counted and fixed in the contract, and the contract is the only place where it counts.

Reasons for a polite refusal

Hearing no from a doctor is not a failed consultation; it is the consultation doing its job. Nobody gains from taking you into theatre needlessly. Situations in which surgery truly helps are androgenetic or diffuse hair loss, and bald zones beside a retreating frontal edge.

Stops that no one should argue with: being under 18, cancer, a pacemaker, epilepsy, diabetes mellitus, a serious cardiac condition, pulmonary embolism, hepatitis B or C, HIV, intolerance of anaesthetics, trichotillomania and body dysmorphic disorder. Softer cases that need a candid talk first: thin donor density, a frontal edge placed high, hereditary patterns of growth, burn or injury scars, and shedding after illness or caused by hormones. Ask which item, if any, concerns you, and ask for the reply as text that you can keep.

An opening look at your case requires no appointment. Give a phone number and send pictures of the thinning zones; a doctor studies them, and the online consultation costs nothing. The coordinator replies within 15 minutes, and WhatsApp and Telegram are staffed round the clock.

Before you write, prepare three things: pictures from the top, the front, both sides and the back; a note of when the thinning began; and a list of the medicines you take, which the doctor will ask about. Add two questions of your own, whatever worries you most. Preparing in this way shortens the exchange and leaves less to be forgotten.

Following up on a transplant, check by check

The clinic reads recovery as a staircase. The first rung is 0–10 days of healing. The second, weeks 2–4, is the shedding of grafted hairs, with follicles staying in place. Regrowth begins at 3–4 months, volume reappears at 6–9 months, and the end result belongs to months 12–18. Scheduled examinations come at 1, 3, 6, 9 and 12 months, and dressings and healing checks belong to the same programme.

Give each examination one page of its own. Put a date on top, attach the photographs, write down what the doctor said about washing, sleeping and headwear and about a return to sport and hair care, and finish with the question for next time. Between visits, the coordinator will look at new photographs whenever something changes.

Bring the folder, or a photograph of its pages, to every conversation with a doctor. A questions list written weeks earlier is often more complete than one made on the spot. Together the pages form a record that does not rely on memory. If growth seems slow in the fifth month, the second month is there on paper to compare against.

Which sources does the Bundesärztekammer list for informing yourself about doctors in Bremen?

Several together: the doctor search of the Kassenärztliche Vereinigung Bremen at kvhb.de/arztsuche, a hospital guide for senior hospital physicians, and the Ärztekammer Bremen, which can be telephoned with questions.

What does section 52(2) of the Fifth Book of the Social Code say?

It applies to aesthetic surgery with no medical indication and lets the statutory insurer ask the patient to carry a fitting share of the cost of any resulting illness. Sick pay may be refused or recovered. Hair transplants are not named in it, so put the question to your insurer.

Can I get a first opinion on my hair without any formalities?

Yes. A phone number and photos of the thinning areas are enough, and the doctor looks at them. The online consultation is free, a coordinator replies within 15 minutes and WhatsApp and Telegram stay staffed day and night.

What belongs in my folder before I pay a deposit?

The licence number, the legal entity, the doctors' names, diplomas and certificates, the named technique, the written sum with its inclusions, and the insurer's reply.

Is the surgeon the person I speak to at the consultation?

According to the clinic, yes: the doctor at the consultation is the doctor in the operating room. Ask for the name to be put in writing.

What should I prepare before writing to the coordinator?

Photographs from the top, front, sides and back, a note on when the thinning began, a list of medicines, and two questions of your own.
