Love Is Blind star reveals the staggering five figure cost of his hair transplant
I'm genuinely in shock right now
Love Is Blind star Jimmy Presnell recently revealed the final results of his hair transplant seven months on, alongside the whopping five figure sum he spent on the procedure.
He shared more about the procedure and his reasons for getting it on TikTok, alongside why he opted to get the hair transplant done in America rather than abroad.
He explained: “I decided to stay in the states for my procedure, which typically is a little bit more expensive to do. But there’s a lot of things that come with that, and I’ll explain that as well.”
@jimmypresnell2 Officially been 7 months since i got a hair transplant with @Solve Clinics @andrew_kashian #fyp #hair
The Love Is Blind star decided to get his transplant done with Solve Clinics in Chicago, and revealed that they charge $5 per individual hair graft.
He explained: “They charge roughly $5 a graft. I had a little over 2,000 grafts, I think 2,100 or 2,200. So roughly 10, 11 grand for the procedure.”
As for why he opted for the more expensive procedure procedure in America compared to places like Turkey, he explained: “When I was going through the evaluation process, I was getting quotes anywhere from $3,000 to $5,000.
“It included flights, it included hotels, all that good stuff, but there was no ongoing consultation or talking to your surgeon. So they just pretty much send you home after the surgery. You don’t really have any type of relationship.”
He’s also been doing platelet rich plasma to help boost his results, saying: “I have been doing PRP, which I’ve made some videos on that and what that kind of entails, and those typically run anywhere from 400 to $600.”
Jimmy first recorded the effects of his transplant back in December, admitting just days after his procedure: “It’s swollen bad. It hurts to smile, it hurts to laugh. My head definitely feels super dry.”
He added: “I didn’t want to try to have a hairline of a 17 or 18-year-old. It’s not realistic. I wanted to look my age and have thicker, healthier-looking hair. That’s the goal here.”
