The first hair transplant session used 2,605 grafts to his scalp to restore frontal coverage. The second hair transplant session included 1,605 grafts distributing hair follicles to the mid-scalp and mid-scalp-crown transitional area.
Before Follicle Grafts
Before Hair Transplant Notice the thinning hair that extends from the front of this patient's scalp to the crown of his head.

After Hair Transplant More than 4,000 grafts filled out the patient's scalp, with the follicles placed to create a natural-looking hairline.

Popular Hair Loss Treatments

FUE Hair Transplantation

A follicular unit extraction (FUE) procedure offers patients negligible scarring, a quick recovery, and most important of all, improved self-confidence. Using individual groupings of hair follicles that contain one to four hairs, FUE extracts hair follicles from the donor area and transplants them to the areas on your scalp that need additional coverage. The advanced FUE technique effectively minimizes scarring on the scalp, allowing patients to wear shorter hairstyles following treatment.

Hair Loss Retreatment

Patients who have undergone a previous hair transplant may not be satisfied with their hair growth, especially if the doctor used large grafts of follicles or another outdated technique. Dr. Konior and Dr. Nadimi have extensive experience correcting poorly executed transplants, especially those performed more than a decade ago. Techniques and technology for extracting and placing hair follicles have improved by leaps and bounds during the last 10 years. If you are unhappy with the results of a previous hair transplant, contact our Chicago, IL, office to learn more about your options.

Hair Loss Treatment for Women

Women with thinning hair may suffer from feelings of self-consciousness. Our Chicago hair loss specialists will identify the cause of thinning hair by performing a thorough medical evaluation before determining whether a restoration procedure will be an effective treatment. If surgery is a viable solution, our doctors can transplant healthy follicles from an area of your scalp that is not affected by thinning hair. We offer our female patients completely individualized treatment plans at the Chicago Hair Institute to address their unique concerns.

I'm a trans woman that had FUE transplants with Dr. Nadimi in late 2018. I had a phenomenal experience. She was extremely professional in the consultation and before and after the surgery. The results almost a year later exceeded my expectations and look great. The office staff and Dr. Nadimi were very accepting and they used my preferred name and pronouns. I felt very comfortable

I have seen Dr. Nadimi twice for FUE hair grafts. She is an excellent surgeon and the results I got exceeded my expectations. Staff is excellent, and caring both during the procedure and in the days after. The procedure is time consuming and tedious, and Dr. Nadimi was patient and communicated with me about what was happening well during both procedures. I would not hesitate to recommend Dr. Nadimi for anyone considering FUE.

Feminization With Staged Advancement and Follicular-Unit Grafting

This patient requested surgical restoration of a very high frontal hairline. The specific goals were to create a natural, feminine appearance and to improve the appearance of the brows. A staged repair was planned in which a pretrichial brow lift was performed first to advance the existing hairline forward and to enhance the shape of the brows. Trichophytic hairline repair was utilized to encourage hair growth through the frontal incision line. The final stage of the restoration was accomplished six months later with ultra-refined follicular-unit grafting.
Before Feminization with Staged Advancement and Follicular-Unit Grafting
Before Grafts Notice the prominent forehead caused by a high hairline. A lower hairline would help achieve the desired appearance.
After Feminization with Staged Advancement and Follicular-Unit Grafting
After Grafts Thanks to the transplant techniques used, we improved the look of the hairline while promoting natural hair growth.
"Dr. Nadimi is AMAZING! I recently saw Dr. Nadimi for fillers and botox. I felt comfortable with her from beginning to end. She took her time with me during the initial consultation and answered all of my questions. During the treatment, she was extremely gentle, I didn't feel the injections at all. She made sure that she addressed all of my concerns while maintaining a natural and youthful look. No one, not even my closest friends and family knows I had anything done. Yet, I have been getting so many compliments on how rested and refresh I look! I highly recommend Dr. Nadimi and her practice, I will definitely be coming back!" Teresa L. - 5 Star Yelp Review

Facial Cosmetic Procedures Advanced Techniques to Refine Your Appearance

Because the hair serves as a frame for your face, hair restoration and facial treatments often go hand in hand. This is particularly effective when treating women's hair lossDr. Nadimi performs a full range of cosmetic facial treatments, including injectable treatments, facelifts, neck lifts, lip lifts, chin augmentations, upper and lower eyelid surgery, forehead reduction, and rhinoplasties

Facelift and Neck Lift

The sagging, wrinkled skin that accompanies aging can negatively impact the definition of your facial features, causing you to appear older than you feel. A facelift or neck lift can help achieve a more youthful look by removing excess skin and smoothing the wrinkles that result from sun exposure, squinting, and frowning. We use ultra-refined techniques for negligible scarring and often combine these two types of lifts.

Learn More About Facelifts

Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Lift)

Bags under your eyes and sagging eyelids not only cause you to appear aged but can compromise your field of vision. Blepharoplasty can help you look more alert, rested, and rejuvenated by tightening the skin in your upper and lower eyelids. When combined with our other cosmetic procedures, a blepharoplasty can dramatically turn back the clock.

Learn More About Blepharoplasty

Rhinoplasty

If the proportions of your nose disrupt the balance of your facial features, a rhinoplasty may be the solution. This procedure can not only correct your cosmetic concerns but can also improve breathing if you have suffered nasal trauma or a deviated septum. If you are unhappy with how your nose looks or have breathing difficulties, our doctors can perform a rhinoplasty to transform the way you look and feel.

Forehead Reduction

Many of our patients, especially women, are curious about whether anything can be done to lower their hairline. Fortunately, our Chicago doctors can minimize the size of your forehead and create a more attractive frame for your face. Dr. Nadimi trained in forehead reduction under the direction of an international specialist in the area and can provide beautiful effects. A hair transplant can be combined with forehead reduction surgery to help patients achieve their desired results.

"I have been going to Dr. Nadimi for cosmetic injections.  She is very knowledgeable and explains the procedures well.  She is artful about her injections allowing you to look youthful but not like you've 'had work done.'"

I underwent a facelift/necklift with Dr Sahar Nadimi. I am so happy that I chose her to be my surgeon! From the initial consultation, Dr Nadimi was very thorough and answered all my questions. She spent a lot of time with me and didn't rush the consultation. She really put me at ease about undergoing surgery. The excellent treatment continued even after my surgery! Dr Nadimi and her staff took outstanding care of me for all my postop visits. I highly recommend Dr Nadimi--she is kind, detail-oriented, and an overall fantastic surgeon.

Dr. Nadimi was extremely attentive to my specific requests, and made sure we were on the same page when it came to finalizing the details of my Neck Lift. The way she described the procedure to me before the surgery was exactly as it was performed. She was very thorough in explaining every detail, and made sure I was comfortable throughout the duration of my visit. At the return visit to get the incision checked, Dr. Nadimi remembered my fiance's name, as did a few members of her staff, which to me added a more personal experience. The recovery time was minimal, and the results have been amazing! The way Dr. Nadimi made the incision minimally invasive that anyone other than her, my fiance, and myself ever noticed. I was extremely impressed with Dr. Nadimi's professional, but warm way of handling my procedure, and even happier with the results!
