Hair restoration has witnessed numerous advancements, and among the leading-edge techniques is the Long-Hair FUE transplantation. For those seeking immediate results without shaving the donor site, this method offers an enticing proposition.
Long-Hair FUE, an advanced adaptation of the traditional FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) method, emphasizes grafting with longer hair lengths. By employing specialized equipment designed to handle elongated hair strands, this technique offers unique advantages, especially in the realm of aesthetic appeal and post-procedure discretion.
The Long Hair FUE procedure uses a specially designed device to securely hold and extract hair grafts without cutting them short. The extracted long hair grafts are then meticulously implanted into the desired area, creating an immediate transformation.
While Long-Hair FUE has its perks, it's not without challenges. The most significant concern is post-operative care. Given the length of the transplanted grafts, they are more prone to accidental displacements, especially during grooming activities like combing.
The costs associated with Long-Hair FUE can be higher due to the specialized equipment and skills required. However, prices can vary based on the clinic, surgeon's experience, and the number of grafts needed. Please contact us for more information regarding the price.
The two paramount advantages include:
Recovery is similar to traditional FUE with a heightened focus on graft care. Within the initial week post-surgery, caution is imperative to avoid inadvertent graft dislodgment. Keeping a gentle touch and avoiding rigorous scalp activities can ensure optimal graft adherence and subsequent growth.
Our clinic has successfully performed numerous Long-Hair FUE procedures. Our gallery showcases transformative results, reinforcing our expertise and the efficacy of this advanced technique. We pride ourselves on ensuring our patients' satisfaction and natural-looking outcomes.
In conclusion, Long-Hair FUE transplantation offers an exciting avenue in hair restoration. By combining the principles of FUE with the aesthetics of long hair, it provides immediate and discreet results. However, potential candidates should be aware of post-op care and consult with experienced professionals to gauge if this method aligns with their goals.

I have done 3x hair transplant. Twice failed at other places with very unnatural hair design. Finally I found BHI. Dr kulakarn and Dr Wunny is very kind and very good. I didn’t even experience much shock loss this time. The donor site area was well distributed I did not feel any difference in my hair density. My hair grafts also did not experience much shock loss, they have grown and blended into my other hair already in 2 months. The rest of the team are also very gentle. The nurse even gave me legs massages to calm me down. I cannot imagine a better place to do hair transplant. I’m also very thankful to BHI in saving my unnatural hairline. Also extra thanks to Dr Wunny for her passion and kindness and answering my questions after work hours !

Excellent Care by Dr. Amonpattana and Her Team My experience with Dr. Amonpattana was exceptional. Being a registered nurse as well as an overall meticulous person, I spent quite a bit of time researching the options available in Thailand. Though it is certainly not Turkey, Thailand does offer plenty enough options to get confused. After 6 in person doctor consultations and weeks of obsessive research, I was able to zero in on Dr. Amonpattana. She has many years of experience, has trained and worked with the best, and is quite well published. Yet what really closed the deal for me was her honesty and attentiveness as a physician. She spent a good hour or more with me in my consultation and took the time to answer and explain things in the kind of detail that I appreciate. Better yet, she is honest and lets you know what you can truly expect in the process of hair transplantation. She answered quite a litany of questions with great patience and even let me examine the operating room to put my meticulous medical mind at ease. I still had quite a few questions several weeks later, so I sent her an epically long email. She took the time to read it and answered all of my questions without any attitude. I was impressed, as I can imagine the sheer length of my email was overwhelming.
When it came down to the actual procedure I was even further impressed. Both Dr. Amonpattana and her team were extraordinarily skilled, kind and attentive. They went out of their way to make me comfortable and always explained what they were doing. Though it is early days as far as results are concerned, I am very pleased with the process so far. The hairline she designed is fantastic and everything is progressing in accordance with how she explained it would. I highly recommend Dr. Amonpattana, both for her skill and accomplishment as a physician as well as her personality and “bedside” manner.
I feel very fortunate to have found Dr. Kulakarn Amonpattana Having no intention of getting a hair transplant while on vacation in Thailand, the more I looked around and did some research, the more I liked Dr. Kulakarn Amonpattana. Getting a procedure done at Maple Clinic came to look like a prudent decision. I have the feeling that the clinic and Dr. Kulakarn aren’t more evident on the radar is because she’s quite low key, in person, and in publicizing her clinic. My first inquiry via email got a quick and direct response which differed from every other place/people I tried contacting for a consultation. Some wrote back but it became apparent that brokers work as middle men in many cases and something just seemed fishy. So I made an appointment for a consultation and wasn’t charged anything. Dr. Kulakarn met me at the end of what I know had to be a long tiring day for her and her technicians. Maple Clinic is not the easiest place to get to because it’s a good hour (in decent traffic) from central Bangkok which is probably another reason they didn’t show up as frequently as much bigger clinics in the city. Dr. Kulakarn was pleasant enough and patient answering my many questions though I didn’t leave feeling that she was the one for me even though her price definitely seemed fair…I wanted to seek out more options and opinions. The problem was that is just wasn’t straight forward to make an appointment with anybody else. Admittedly my attempts weren’t so diligent and I didn’t get another consultation. So other the course of about a week, the desire to get the procedure done while still in Thailand made more and more sense. I was probably contacting Dr.Kulakarn at least once a day and she emailed back usually, if not every instance, later the same day to answer more questions. And her answers made sense as well…I felt that she was being truthful about everything I asked about. So I did some due diligence on her and on Maple Clinic and found nothing that looked in anyway like a red flag. I fact, I found her credentials to be impeccable and absolutely recommend that you see for yourself rather than list them here. I decided with clear certainty that she was the doctor for me and made an appointment for about 10 days later since an availability only a few days out (which she had mentioned during the consultation) had filled up. Another thing worth mentioning is that she wasn’t in any sort of fuss whatsoever when my money transfer got held up for administrative issues (transferring money is a hassle…cash is king in Thailand and exchange is so easy). My deposit didn’t transfer in time to hold my spot but she was casual about it, basically saying that she trusted that I would have full payment the morning of the procedure. This just reinforced that I made the right decision to go with Maple Clinic. Oh, and another thing in their favor for me was that they don’t do arrangements for hotel and transportation. I simply found a hotel nearby myself and hired a taxi which are everywhere…worked out great…the clinic emailed a map that the driver used to deliver me to the front door the 4 times that I have now gone there (consult, procedure, day-after cleaning, and stitches removal a week later). Everything about this place is pleasant and professional…and being somewhat outside of Bangkok tells me that this clinic doesn’t need to pass higher overhead onto their clients.
I’m now 6 mouths post transplant and couldn’t be happier. Dr. Kulakarn transplanted 4002 hair’s using FUT (I went in only wanting FUE but Dr. Kulakarn changed my mind in sort order for reasons that made perfect sense to me). It was a fairly long day and logistics are a bit more challenging then if in Bangkok, but the work she did is completely worth it! And for the price I paid more than worth it. It is no understatement to say that I’m completely delighted with the results so far and especially by watching my hair grow and thicken by the day.When you really get into finding out more about hair transplantation, you (as least I did) see/saw that there is a great deal to get right in the procedure for a great looking result. It is definitely an art that is like a layer above the medical expertise employed. The hairline has to be natural (this is a BIGGIE, and Dr. K. did mine brilliantly)…angle and depth of each follicular unit must be just right (my transplanted hair is growing out in a natural wave exactly like my lost hair once did…how did she do that!?)…distribution of the units with a natural density (my coverage pattern is like the alopecia is now going drastically in reverse)…and the scar (mine is as minimal as it can possibly be because of the training and technique of Dr. K.)…and there are more factors like survival rate of units, post-op care and harvesting the hair follicles along with the team of technicians working in conjunction with the surgeon, all of which are dependent on the experience and specialty of that surgeon. Fortunately for me (and for you perhaps) I found Dr. Kulakarn Amonpattana and couldn’t imagine being happier with the results (and It’s only been 6 months!).
Amazing surgeon. I flew from Canada to see her 3 years ago. She is patient, honest, not pushy, and listened to my 1000+ questions before and after the surgery. She also continued to communicate via Line App for up to a year post- procedure. She is very skilled and her rates are very reasonable. I would definitely recommend Dr. Amonpattana over any of the clinics I visited for consultation in Canada.
“I have left a comprehensive review of Dr Kulakarn, Dr Wunny and her wonderful team on her site within RealSelf. Dr Kulakarn and her team hold my complete admiration for my hair restoration journey and treatment at her BHI Clinic attached to Vejthani Hospital.
I widely researched and came to the conclusion that not only is Dr Kulakarn one of the best and most talented in Asia I would also say confidently she is one of the best and most regarded in the world. I placed my complete trust in her and her team and that trust was well founded. A brilliant hair restoration surgeon – an amazing team behind her – and provided me a result that exceeded my highest of expectations. The VIP aftercare is exceptional and I have nothing but praise and accolades for the entire process.
Thoroughly recommend – so much so that I’m happy to put my name to a procedure that understandably many off us prefer anonymity. That in itself speaks volumes.”
“As I pen this review I am 9 days post surgery and my journey to this point has been long and vastly researched so allow me to share my thoughts I am caucasian Australian with light brown hair and am 60 years of age. For many men we will consider hair replacement for many reasons that are personal to each of us. My hair loss has been gradual since my twenties and I’ve forever had the taunting words of my mother as a child saying ‘you’re going to be bald like your father’ resound in my mind. Whilst her words were to become true to some extent the emotional scar as a child was profound and has for me been an Achilles heel throughout my life where I have always been self conscious of my thinning hair. I am fortunate that in my life I have achieved reasonable success so price was not nor never a consideration in choosing location or Doctor. For me it was the result and the confidence in the Doctor I was to ultimately select. I am proud to say I 100% arrived at the correct decision. I have studied and researched doctors and clinics right throughout the world for over 10 years and clearly to anyone who now embarks on the journey or hair restoration they will discover the industry has spiralled in Turkey which appears very much to have become the epicentre. I cant help but also draw the conclusion it is a money making machine and somewhat of a sausage mill approach. The successes and many failures can be researched independently however I cannot comment further as I chose a different path. That said I have personally witnessed some fairly ordinary and very obvious transplant looking results – you can spot them a mile away when you know what your looking for. If that was the expected outcome for me I would never undertake this journey and would simply put up with my typical Anglo Saxon balding scalp. Some years ago I came across Dr Kulakarn Amonpattana in Thailand, almost be chance by reading the words of one of her reviewers from New Zealand who I also engaged in dialogue with via RS and privately. Whilst the review itself was not detailed something connected within me and probably also the reason why I choose now to post in detail my experience. This doctor’s credentials and training were world class. Board certified with the American Institute of Hair restoration, an accredited plastic surgeon and although not being a promoter within the mainstream marketing of hair restoration with numerous reviews (often prompted) she soon became my first choice. By the way I have not been asked once to provide this review. I engaged in several emails and originally booked early 2020 but then Covid came along and shut borders and the world. Recently freeing myself from my normal business life I finally had the time to devote to myself so booked my three week stay in Bangkok as I wanted to heal properly before returning home. Dr Kulakarn and her assistant Dr Wunny met with me on Monday the 6th November at their BHI clinic attached to Vejthani Hospital in Bang Kapi Thailand. The hospital and clinic from the very first impression was 5 star hotel standard- immaculately clean and professional Both doctors are fluent in English and after an initial discussion re donor site harvest and density outcomes I opted for a combination FUE / FUT procedure over 2 days separated by a day of rest in between. Dr Kulakarn arranged a room for me to stay within 111 Residence within the hospital that I would totally recommend for the convenience and direct access to BHI Clinic and all hospital facilities. Whilst the rooms were basic they were clean and comfortable. From the outset the care and attention was world class and exceeded my expectations on every level. I arrived at 8.00 am on the Tuesday for the first procedure being the FUE. An entire team of 6 assistants plus the two doctors devoted themselves entirely to my procedure throughout the day which lasted over 12 hours with only a short 20 minute lunch break. I felt no pain nor had cause for any concerns. Dr Kulakarn and her team were successful in harvesting and transplanting 3640 grafts. Whilst already not totally bald and with still some hair on top I also wanted a realistic hair line of a mature aged man with normal recession at the sides but with full density all over. This goal was appreciated by both doctors as being a realistic and a highly deliverable result – albeit with the proviso of suitable donor harvest that is only fully determined in procedure. The first day was therefore decided to concentrate on the FUE transplant in the highly visible frontal areas that after procedure I could see mirrored my natural hairline of my younger self perfectly. The donor area appeared virtually unscathed and I was actually pleasantly surprised at how little post surgical trauma was evident. A section of untouched donor area was left totally intact for the following procedure of the FUT The second procedure was the FUT – move invasive with the excision of strips of tissue from the side rear areas of the scalp. Whilst I was advised this would obviously leave a scar it would be well hidden under the regrown hair. The procedure again was painless and the care throughout just outstanding. I even had assistants massaging my legs from time to time as I was head down on the table for another 12 hour plus day. The same team were completely involved in the excision, dissection of the grafts and then the two doctors performing in tandem the insertion of the grafts this time within the top and crown areas. Now 9 days post and the stitches removed I can confidently see the skill of Dr Kulakarn also from her Plastic surgery training in the fine stitch work and limited scar I will have. I stayed in the hospital accomodation another two days prior to relocating to Pathumwan Princess Hotel where DR Kulakarn has a convenient post treatment pop up clinic on the 6th floor. This hotel is downtown Bangkok right next to MBK Centre and Paragon Siam so a brilliant location to concentrate on the recovery with a little bit of 5 star luxury to enjoy. Every day I was treated to first class post operative care, very gentle washing and the process of scab removal as the healing undertook its path. Light therapy that assisted healing and also stimulates the transplanted hair growth. All of this additional care was inclusive – it was never rushed nor hurried and I felt just as important to the team each and every day I arrived. Some days I also opted for the return journey to the Vejthani Hospital Clinic location as I had connected with the amazing staff and felt like a VIP client in every contact Again if time allows I would totally recommend the longer stay particularly with a combined FUE / FUT procedure. I was able to wear a bandanna whilst out and about that may have looked a tad odd but also had some comments that it was a cool look – they may have just been being nice though 🙂 I will leave Thailand with nothing but praise and admiration for Dr Kulakarn, BHI clinic and the entire team. The Thai people in my opinion are a calm beautiful culture that shows through within the level of care I was provided at every part of my journey. Moreover I will leave with my eternal gratitude for an outstanding result of over 6000 transplanted grafts that has delivered more than I hoped for and Im sure will for me be the end of that taunting voice in my mind that created my personal conflict with baldness. Im happy to engage in meaningful dialogue should anyone wish once your decision to narrow down your choice of provider is to include Dr Kulakarn and Dr Wunny of BHI Clinic and will post later photos.”
The nurses who took care of me throughout the day were so kind and caring The care from the nurses and doctor was amazing. Easy to get there by cab. The staff was nice enough to get me a metered cab after each visit. Started by filling up personal info for registration followed by consultation by Dr Kulakarn. She’s a nice lady. Gave the patient the autonomy on the procedure and we came to what suits best.
Implants were done nicely. I had about 2500 done. Results are great after a week. The facility is amazing. Lunch and dinner were provided. The nurses who took care of me throughout the day were so kind and caring. Commendable.
I would highly recommend this clinic.
