My experience at Enfuse raised the bar for what trans competent care can be. Enfuse is THE BEST. I had a neograft FUE hair transplant at Enfuse. I called their office -- even though I live out of state -- because I knew trans friends Chicago went to them for laser, and I had seen a couple of drag performers I follow get hair transplants there. I originally didn't want to travel for surgery, but I was having a hard time with hair transplant surgeons in my home city. I'm so glad I called Enfuse. Kevin immediately was a darling and answered all of my questions and offered me a free consultation. I knew I was in good hands.
I had the consultation within a week. One of the best things at this stage was that Kevin was clear about money!!! I sent him some pics of my hairline and he drafted up a diagram of the regions we could transplant hairs to, how many grafts would be needed for each potential result, and the cost. I paid half the cost to hold the date and the other half day of procedure. Soon after my consult I met with Dr Gilleon, who prescribes the meds for the procedure. She was very kind and thoughtful.
Even with holding the date, there was so much flexibility -- if we needed to reschedule, I could do that with no fees. Enfuse makes a concerted effort NOT to overbook their schedule with procedures so that every client can receive attentive and quality care.
In the weeks and days before and after the procedure Kevin was available by text, email, and call to check in, answer my questions, and keep me grounded. Especially with covid there's a lot to balance. The procedure is not too intense but there are some specific before-care and after-care things to keep in mind and it was helpful to have reminders from Kevin, or be able to ask him why he recommends certain things.
The procedure day was a little scary but the staff at Enfuse made it as smooth as possible. It was a long day -- 8 hours with a lunch break, just a lot of local lidocaine and anti-anxiety meds. The procedure was done by Maria and Sonia, who are both very skilled and experienced in this procedure, in addition to being lovely women. During the easier parts of the procedure I had fun just talking and laughing with them. Maria was the one who drew my hairline with surgical marker in the morning and she worked with me patiently until I was completely happy with the shape and symmetry. I didn't feel rushed at all which was important to me. They both have INCREDIBLE tact as medical professionals. They work quickly and efficiently but I always felt comfortable asking to get up for a break, asking for water, etc.
I've been healing really well. I'm a little more than one week out. I have utmost faith that I will continue to heal well, but it also reassures me that I can come back anytime for a free revision if needed. I feel like enfuse really wants me to have the best results and doesn't just want my money, and for that I am so thankful.
Side note: Enfuse has a deal with the Hyatt next door where you get 20% booking with their affiliate link. Coming from out of state, staying at the hotel was a necessity and I had a great stay there while recovering. read more
