Hair Transplants for Worthing Patients with My Hair UK
My Hair UK offers hair transplant surgery to Worthing patients seeking a permanent, natural-looking result, with surgery performed by GMC-registered surgeons at CQC-registered clinics. We know that hair loss is about more than appearance, especially if you’re managing male pattern baldness, thinning hair, or a receding hairline.
Whether you’re based in Goring-by-Sea, Tarring, Broadwater or Durrington, book a free consultation in clinic or by video call with our trichology team to receive a tailored treatment plan with a personalised quote to help restore your hair.
Why Choose A Hair Transplant?
Choosing a hair transplant is a significant step, and it’s the only clinical treatment that produces permanent regrowth in areas where hair has been lost. A hair transplant works by relocating healthy follicles from the back and sides of the scalp, which are genetically resistant to thinning, to the areas that need coverage. Once those follicles establish, they can grow for the rest of your life.
The Cost of a Hair Transplant in Worthing
Hair transplant pricing at My Hair UK is set out clearly upfront. Packages start at £2,499 and run to £4,899, and most Worthing patients spend in the £3,500 to £4,500 range once their consultation and graft count estimate are in hand. What you pay reflects how many grafts are needed, which itself depends on the extent of your hair loss, your hair type, and the outcome you want. The factors below set out the main considerations.

Factors Affecting Hair Transplant Costs
Number of Grafts Needed
Graft count is the single biggest factor in the cost. Our packages cover 500 to 3,500 grafts, though most patients fall in the 1,500–3,000 range. A small crown patch might be 800 grafts. A full front hairline restoration can need 3,000+ grafts. More grafts mean a longer surgical day and a higher tier package.
Extent of Hair Loss
Your graft count is driven by where you sit on the Norwood scale, the standard clinical grading for male pattern baldness. Early recession at the temples requires far fewer grafts than a Norwood VI with widespread crown loss. Consultation includes a donor-area density assessment to confirm how many grafts can realistically be harvested.
Hair Type and Texture
Whatever your hair type or texture, the surgical team has worked with it before. Coarser hair provides better hair transplant coverage per graft than fine hair, which means thick-haired patients can often hit the same visual density with a lower graft count. Afro-textured and curly hair needs surgeons with specific experience. Follicle shape and curl angle change how extraction is performed.
Surgeon Expertise
Choosing the right surgeon is one of the more important calls you’ll make. Every one of the clinics’ surgeons is GMC-registered and has personally completed more than 1,000 FUE hair transplant procedures. These figures are per surgeon, not added up across the whole team. Natural-looking results come from surgeon skill, not machines. How the hairline is designed, the angle each follicle sits at, and how the donor area is preserved all matter more than equipment.
What to Expect at Your Consultation
Your hair transplant consultation is free and there is no obligation to book. It takes around 45 minutes and gives you the information you need to decide in your own time. Here’s what happens:
Medical history
We take a brief medical history: current medications, previous surgeries, conditions that affect healing, and whether you’ve already spoken to your GP about hair loss.
Scalp assessment
A specialist examines your scalp under magnification, grades your hair loss on the Norwood scale (for men) or Ludwig scale (for women), and checks the density of your donor area.
Goal discussion & plan
We talk through what you want a transplant to achieve. You’ll get a graft count estimate and a tier price based on the clinical assessment. There are no surprise add-ons on surgery day.
Meet the surgeon
You can meet the GMC-registered surgeon who would perform your procedure. They answer technical questions directly.
No pressure to decide
You’ll leave with a tailored treatment plan, a personalised quote, and time to think it over. Most patients take a few weeks before booking.
Why Choose My Hair UK
The UK has no shortage of hair transplant clinics. Here’s what separates My Hair UK from the rest:
• Regulated UK medical care. GMC-registered surgeons, CQC-registered clinics. Every surgeon appears on the GMC register and is personally accountable for the work they do.
• Clear, all-inclusive pricing. The tier package you’re placed in covers the hair transplant consultation, surgery and aftercare. No hidden costs, and nothing extra appears on surgery day.
• You meet your surgeon before surgery. Unlike many Turkey clinics (and a number of UK providers), you’ll know who is operating on you at consultation, and you’ll see the same surgeon again on the day.
• Straightforward travel from Worthing. Worthing to the London clinic is only 1 hour 25 minutes by direct Southern train from Worthing to London Victoria, then the Underground to Kenton. See the Travel section below for details.
Recovery and Results Timeline
Recovery is mostly straightforward, with detailed aftercare guidance from the team to lean on at each stage. It’s faster than older hair transplant techniques, though the final result still takes time. A summary is below:
• First 24 hours after: Expect mild swelling and tightness.
• Week 1: The donor and recipient areas scab naturally. No scratching, no heavy lifting.
• Weeks 2–3: Transplanted hair sheds. This is normal. The follicle stays in place while the shaft falls out before it regrows.
• Month 3: New growth emerges from the transplanted follicles.
• Month 6: Visible thickening.
• Months 9–12: Full density and final result.
More detail on each phase, including washing routines, sleeping advice, exercise limits and medication, lives in our detailed recovery guide.
What's Included In The Price?
Pricing at My Hair UK covers everything from your first consultation to your final follow-up, with no surprise costs and no surgery-day add-ons. The tier package you sit in covers every stage of your treatment, with no consultation fee. Here’s what’s included:
• Initial consultation: a specialist assesses your hair loss, reviews your medical history, and builds a tailored treatment plan
• FUE hair transplant: the surgery itself, including local anaesthetic, how the donor area is preserved, and follicle placement
• Post-operative aftercare: detailed recovery instructions, follow-up appointments, and a direct line to the clinic if you have concerns during recovery
• Named GMC-registered surgeon: you’ll know who is performing your procedure before the day
The Benefits of FUE Hair Transplants
• No linear scar. FUE leaves tiny individual marks in the donor area that heal quickly and aren’t visible under normal-length hair. FUT (strip surgery) leaves a visible line.
• Faster recovery. No stitches, no sutures to remove. Most patients can return to desk-based work within a week.
• Precision for hairlines. Individual follicle placement allows surgeons to replicate the natural single-hair density at the front hairline. Strip surgery cannot match this as reliably.
• Suitable for shorter hairstyles. Because there’s no linear scar, FUE patients can wear their hair short without scar exposure.
For technical depth on the procedure, see our FUE transplant explainer.

The Hair Transplant Procedure for Worthing Patients
The FUE hair transplant is carried out under local anaesthetic. You remain awake, but you won’t feel the extraction or placement. Individual follicles are removed from the back and sides of the scalp (genetically resistant to thinning) and placed into the thinned or receded areas.
The sequence:
1. Consultation: your hair loss is assessed in person, your goals are discussed, and a graft count and treatment plan are agreed. You meet the surgeon who will operate on you.
2. Preparation: on surgery day you’re settled in for the procedure. The donor area is trimmed and local anaesthetic is administered. The procedure is comfortable, but expect a full day at the clinic.
3. Extraction and placement: follicles are extracted one by one and placed into the recipient area at matching angles and densities. Surgical time is driven by graft count, typically 5 to 8 hours.
4. Recovery: you leave with detailed aftercare to support you through the early weeks. Desk-based work is usually fine within a week; more physical work should wait until the 2-week mark. The final result develops over 12 -18 months.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. What does a hair transplant cost for Worthing patients?
Tiered pricing at My Hair UK starts at £2,499 and goes to £4,899. A typical Worthing case falls in the £3,500 to £4,500 range after consultation. The tier is determined by the number of grafts you need.
2. How painful is a hair transplant?
It shouldn’t hurt. FUE runs under local anaesthetic, so you’re awake but you don’t feel the extraction or placement. Patients typically describe the day as long rather than painful. More in our more on procedure pain.
3. When will I see results?
Shedding happens at week 2 to 3 and is expected. Regrowth starts around month 3, thickening is clearly visible by month 6, and the final result is in by 9 to 12 months.
4. How soon can I return to work and exercise?
Desk-based work is typically fine within a week. Leave the gym and general exercise for 2 weeks. Contact sports need longer. You’ll get a specific timeline in your post-op briefing.
5. How many grafts will I need?
Our packages cover 500 to 3,500 grafts, though most patients fall in the 1,500–3,000 range. A small crown patch or temple recession might be 800-1,200 grafts. Restoring a full front hairline can need 3,000+ grafts. A specialist will confirm your graft count at consultation by grading your hair loss on the Norwood scale.
6. How many hours does a hair transplant take?
The procedure typically takes 5 to 8 hours, depending on graft count. Expect a full day at the clinic including preparation, surgery, and post-procedure briefing.
7. How long does a hair transplant last?
Yes. Follicles harvested from the donor area (the back and sides of the scalp) are genetically resistant to thinning. Once placed, they can grow for the rest of your life. Our guide on how long a hair transplant lasts covers it in more depth.
8. What’s the difference between FUE and FUT?
FUE extracts individual follicles one by one. There’s no linear scar, recovery is faster, and it’s suitable for shorter hairstyles. FUT removes a strip of scalp from the donor area, leaving a linear scar. The clinics only offer FUE because the recovery and aesthetic outcomes are better for most patients.
9. What medication will I be given after surgery?
You’ll usually get a short course of antibiotics, anti-inflammatories and painkillers for the first few days. Some patients stay on finasteride or minoxidil long-term to protect the hair that wasn’t transplanted. Dosing and timing are covered in our medication after a hair transplant guide.
10. How do I prepare for the consultation?
Little preparation is needed. Bring a list of current medications, note any conditions that affect healing, and ideally speak to your GP in advance about your hair loss. Come with questions. There’s no pressure to book on the day.
