Plenty of men are told to wait

A straight verdict comes at the consultation, and sometimes that verdict is that no operation is needed and no money need be spent. Below you will find the situations where a transplant genuinely works.

What surgery can change

  • Androgenetic or diffuse alopecia
  • A receding hairline
  • A high hairline
  • Insufficient hair density
  • Genetic traits of hair growth
  • Results of an injury or a burn
  • Shedding post-illness
  • Shedding due to a hormonal imbalance

Beard transplant

FUE method, no cuts or stitches

The grafts come from the donor area at the back of the head and go in through micro-punctures of about 1 mm, leaving no scars. Before the operation the doctor discusses the shape with you and takes your facial features into account. Transplanted hair grows for life: trim and style the beard as usual.

    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!

Things people ask

We cover 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, this is possible. An online consultation is offered so patients from other cities and countries can plan ahead.

FUE costs $2,200 (≈ €2,000), DHI costs $2,500 (≈ €2,250), and the combined DHI+FUE method costs $2,700 (≈ €2,450). The exact amount is confirmed at a free consultation after your grafts are counted, and it is fixed in 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 means tweezer-based, incision-free graft harvesting. DHI means channel-free implantation with a Choi pen. Combined DHI+FUE uses FUE for harvesting and the DHI pen for implanting.

A doctor determines the graft number at a free consultation, looking at your donor area's capacity.

The timeline is: 0–10 days healing, 2–4 weeks shedding (normal), 3–4 months new growth, 6–9 months visible density, and 12–18 months for the final result.

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

How the whole thing works, step by step, for Vilnius

A patient in Vilnius will find the requirements modest: FUE and DHI ask for no cuts, no stitches and no more than local anaesthesia, and the whole operation is behind you by the end of one day.

The beginning is remote and free for a patient in Vilnius: photographs of the area, a look from the doctor, and a clear word on whether a transplant will help. The clinic responds 24/7.

It heals within 0-10 days, the transplanted hairs shed at 2-4 weeks and this is the norm, growth appears at 3-4 months, density at 6-9 and the final result at 12-18. Along the way there are check-ups at 1, 3, 6, 9 and 12 months, photo tracking with a personal coordinator and a lifetime growth guarantee.

Hair Transplant in Vilnius: 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.

Stories of known people

Public figures who spoke openly about this operation, in their own words.

All stories about this operation →

Written by Anastasia A. Kolesnik, plastic surgeon, hair transplant doctor

Medically reviewed by Ellina V. Goncharova, dermatovenereologist, trichologist, surgeon. Review date:

Licence first: reading Lithuania's rules before reading a quotation

Vilnius City Municipality had an official population estimate of 617,984 for the start of 2026, up from 556,490 at the census of 1 January 2021. Whatever the headcount, the first thing to settle before any decision about hair is who is legally entitled to provide the care. Start with a licence rather than a price list.

The directory of Lithuanian institutions that lists the State Accreditation Service for Health Care Activities, under the Ministry of Health, describes it as the body that takes care of licensing and of the availability and quality of personal health care services. Ask that service, or the clinic, how a licence can be checked, and compare the number you are given with what you are shown. Treat this as a pointer to where to look, and let the licence number itself come from the clinic in writing.

In practice, translate it into requests. Request the licence number, the exact corporate name behind the care, and the credentials of every doctor you might meet. The clinic lets you examine all of it ahead of any payment. Then compare what you receive with the public register entry rather than with the clinic's own summary.

One more item belongs in the folder: the contract text. Read what it promises for the day of surgery and for the twelve months afterwards, and have anything vague made exact. A draft you can study at home, unhurried, is worth more than a verbal assurance given in a rush.

Who pays: the State Health Insurance Fund and a transplant

A November 2025 news item reports that the State Health Insurance Fund, Valstybinė ligonių kasa, reminded residents that some plastic operations can be paid from the Compulsory Health Insurance Fund when surgery is a necessary part of treatment. The wording turns on medical necessity, and the item does not mention hair restoration at all.

Your case may still differ. Hair loss after an illness, after injury or after a burn raises questions that belong to a physician, not to a coordinator. The sensible route is to ask the Fund or your own doctor in writing whether anything could apply to you, and to keep the reply. If nothing applies, the operation is a private arrangement, and the contract records what you pay after the count of grafts.

The same caution holds for the contraindications discussed further down. Some of those conditions, such as diabetes mellitus or a pacemaker, belong to your regular doctor first, and the transplant doctor will want to hear what that doctor says.

Finally, give yourself time to read. The consultation costs nothing and books nothing, so the sequence is: photographs, verdict, written plan, documents, and only then a decision.

A second written question is worth asking before any date: what exactly does the arrangement include, and what would count as extra? Ask for the answer as a list, so that the dressings, the healing checks, the care plan and the twelve months of follow-up can be ticked off one by one against the contract.

Three routes for the same graft

The clinic works with FUE, DHI and a combination of both, and each is defined by how the graft is taken and how it is set. FUE is the classic technique with no incisions or stitches: forceps remove the grafts, the graft suffers minimal trauma and the hair keeps a natural angle. Its graft survival is given as 98–100 per cent, with androgenetic alopecia as the indication.

DHI is suture-free implantation with a Choi pen, a Choi implanter, and it avoids making channels in advance. The combined protocol keeps FUE for extraction and uses DHI for implantation, and it is intended for densification where androgenetic alopecia has thinned the hair.

The percentages are averages for guidance. Real figures shift with the treated area and with you, so ask the doctor for yours during the consultation. That same conversation covers the donor zone inspection, the graft count and what outcome is realistic; the cost is settled once the grafts are counted and then put in the contract.

Beards and eyebrows are done by FUE as well. Grafts come from the back of the head. For a beard they enter through micro-punctures of about 1 mm, after the shape has been discussed with you. For eyebrows the surgeon first draws the brow line and studies reference pictures alongside you; this is also an option when brows have thinned from years of plucking.

Preparing the conversation from your own sofa

The first step is online and sits in your messenger. Message a coordinator through WhatsApp or Telegram whenever suits you; the line never closes, and the aim is a reply within 15 minutes. All that is needed is a phone number plus photographs of the thinning areas. A doctor examines them and tells you whether a transplant is worth considering. Nothing gets booked by doing so.

Shoot in natural light with dry hair. Cover the crown, the front, each temple, the back and the donor area, and add an older picture if you have one. Under them, note when the loss began, how fast it moved, who in the family has it, and any treatment you tried.

Prepare questions too. Which method suits my zone, and why that one? How many grafts will the plan need? Who counts them, and is the operating doctor the one I speak to? What happens at the 1, 3, 6, 9 and 12 month checks? A short list written beforehand prevents the usual post-call regret of having forgotten the one thing that mattered.

Mention your health plainly. Cancer, epilepsy, diabetes, a pacemaker, serious heart conditions, hepatitis B or C, HIV or AIDS, pulmonary embolism and intolerance to anaesthetics all appear on the clinic's caution list, as do trichotillomania, body dysmorphic disorder and age under 18. A frank first message saves a second round of questions.

Think about timing as well, in terms of your own calendar. Surgery occupies a single day, and the first ten days are for healing, so pick a stretch when you can follow the care plan, leave room for the routine of the first ten days and keep your coordinator informed about anything that looks unexpected. If something does, send a picture instead of waiting for the next scheduled check.

From surgery day to the finished result

Surgery is a single-day, day-case operation under local anaesthesia. Before it, you receive the list of tests and instructions for completing them, and a deposit secures the date, payable by card at the clinic or online under the medical services contract.

Then the timeline starts running. Days 0–10 are for healing, as crusts shed and swelling goes down. During weeks 2–4 transplanted hairs drop out, which counts as a normal stage because the follicles stay where they were put. New hairs begin filling in at 3–4 months, and thickness comes back by 6–9 months. Full volume, with a natural edge, arrives at 12–18 months.

Check-ups come at 1, 3, 6, 9 and 12 months. Also included are the dressings and healing checks that the early days require, a written care plan for the grafted and donor areas, advice on washing, sleeping and headwear, and a plan for easing back into sport. As your scalp changes, send photographs to your personal coordinator.

A last practical tip: do not judge the result in the shedding weeks. Mark the check-up dates, compare like with like, and let the calendar rather than the mirror do the reporting.

Which body deals with licensing of health care institutions in Lithuania?

A directory of Lithuanian state institutions names the State Accreditation Service for Health Care Activities, under the Ministry of Health, as the one that takes care of licensing. Ask the clinic for its licence number in writing.

Can the State Health Insurance Fund pay for plastic surgery?

A November 2025 news item says some plastic operations can be paid from the Compulsory Health Insurance Fund when surgery is a necessary part of treatment. Ask the Fund about your own case.

Which papers should I ask for before paying?

The medical licence, the legal name of the organisation providing care, the doctors' diplomas and certificates, and the draft contract.

How do I reach a coordinator from Vilnius?

Through WhatsApp or Telegram; the free online consultation starts from a phone number and photographs.

Are beard and eyebrow transplants also possible?

Yes. Both use FUE with grafts from the back of the head, and the shape is agreed with you beforehand.

Is a transplant suitable if my hair loss followed an illness?

Shedding after an illness is on the list of cases that call for a frank discussion. Send photographs and mention the illness, and the doctor will say whether surgery would help.
