Hair transplant clinics in Louisville, KY
We compare Louisville hair restoration clinics on facts you can verify yourself — board certification, society membership, who performs the surgery, and whether prices are published. We do not rank surgeons by skill; no directory can. No dedicated hair-only practice — multi-service plastic surgery groups carry this market.

Comparison
| Clinic | ABHRS | ISHRS | Physician operates | Prices published |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| CaloAesthetics Plastic Surgery Center Four named: Dr. M. Bradley Calobrace, MD, FACS; Dr. Juan Quintero, MD; Dr. Alex Pong, MD; Dr. Alisha B. Paranzino, MD | Not stated | Not stated | Mixed description — the page states “Dr. Calobrace or Dr. Quintero then places the follicles” and also that “a certified NeoGraft technician then implants the follicles” | Not published — “determined by the number of hairs being transplanted” |
| Mays Plastic Surgery Dr. Chet Mays and Dr. Jeffrey Gross (credentials not stated on the hair page) | Not stated | Not stated | Not specified — the page credits “the team at Mays Plastic Surgery” | Not published — payment plans advertised |
“Not stated” means the clinic's own published materials did not state it as of August 2026. It is not a negative finding — many excellent practices simply do not list credentials on the page we checked.
Notes on each
CaloAesthetics Plastic Surgery Center
A multi-location plastic surgery group (Louisville, Lexington, St. Matthews, Floyds Knobs) and the only Louisville practice we reviewed offering the FUT strip method alongside NeoGraft FUE. The page describes surgeon and technician roles in ways worth clarifying at consultation: exactly who harvests, who makes recipient sites and who places grafts is the first ISHRS patient question, and NeoGraft workflows vary from practice to practice.

Mays Plastic Surgery
A Louisville plastic surgery practice offering NeoGraft FUE — “no scalpel, no stitches, no linear scar”. The hair page names two physicians but does not state their certifications or who performs each step of the procedure. Both are fair questions: NeoGraft is a device, and outcomes depend on the hands using it.

The Louisville market
Louisville search results in August 2026 contained no dedicated hair-only local practice: hair restoration here is offered by multi-service plastic surgery groups, alongside HairClub and Bosley branch pages, review aggregators, an Istanbul clinic marketing directly to Louisville patients, and We Grow Hair — the practice from our Nashville comparison — appearing through its Indiana location. Both local practices we reviewed are NeoGraft-centered, neither publishes prices, and neither states hair-specific credentials on its hair pages. In a NeoGraft market the question that separates practices is who actually harvests and places grafts — the device is the same; the hands differ.
What to ask before you book
| Ask | Why |
|---|---|
| Will anyone not licensed by the state be making incisions or harvesting grafts during my surgery? | Does a licensed physician make the incisions and harvest the grafts, or do technicians? |
| Is the physician who will operate on me board certified by the ABHRS? | Is the operating physician certified by the American Board of Hair Restoration Surgery? |
| Is the physician a member of the ISHRS? | Is the physician a member of the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery? |
| Who will evaluate my hair loss and recommend treatment, and what is their licensure? | Is the diagnosis and treatment recommendation made by a physician, or by a sales consultant? |
| What is the price per graft, and what is the estimated total for my case? | Are per-graft or total ranges published, or is an in-person consultation required to hear any number? |
| Is everyone involved in my surgery covered by malpractice insurance? | Is everyone involved in the surgery covered? |
| Are these photographs of your own patients, operated on by this physician? | Are the before-and-after photographs of this clinic’s own patients, operated on by this physician? |
How to verify the answers yourself →
Warning signs
| Red flag | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| One flat price to harvest "as many grafts as possible" | Predatory pricing pattern. Graft count should follow from diagnosis, not from a package. |
| The advertised surgeon is not the one in the room | The ISHRS calls this the "token doctor" pattern — a physician promoted in marketing who is minimally involved while technicians perform the procedure. |
| Several patients treated simultaneously in one room | Assembly-line operation. It is the model that makes unlicensed-technician surgery economically attractive. |
| Before-and-after photographs that are not the clinic’s own patients | Listed by the ISHRS among black-market markers. Ask directly whose patients they are. |
How we evaluate
- Who performs the surgery — Does a licensed physician make the incisions and harvest the grafts, or do technicians?
- ABHRS board certification — Is the operating physician certified by the American Board of Hair Restoration Surgery?
- ISHRS membership — Is the physician a member of the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery?
- Who evaluates your hair loss — Is the diagnosis and treatment recommendation made by a physician, or by a sales consultant?
- Price transparency — Are per-graft or total ranges published, or is an in-person consultation required to hear any number?
- Malpractice coverage of the full team — Is everyone involved in the surgery covered?
- Verifiable results — Are the before-and-after photographs of this clinic’s own patients, operated on by this physician?
- Named in AI answers — Does the clinic appear when ChatGPT, Perplexity or Google AI Overviews are asked who to choose in this city?
Louisville questions
How do I choose a hair transplant clinic in Louisville?
Start with the four questions the ISHRS tells patients to ask: who evaluates your hair loss and what is their licensure, who performs each part of the surgery, whether anyone unlicensed will be making incisions or harvesting grafts, and whether the whole team is covered by malpractice insurance. Then verify board certification independently rather than taking it from the clinic's own marketing.
What is specific to the Louisville market?
Louisville search results in August 2026 contained no dedicated hair-only local practice: hair restoration here is offered by multi-service plastic surgery groups, alongside HairClub and Bosley branch pages, review aggregators, an Istanbul clinic marketing directly to Louisville patients, and We Grow Hair — the practice from our Nashville comparison — appearing through its Indiana location.
How much does a hair transplant cost in Louisville?
Most clinics in Louisville quote only after an in-person evaluation, because the total depends on graft count and graft count depends on diagnosis. When comparing, ask for the price per graft and the estimated total for your case in writing — a per-graft headline rate tells you very little on its own.

Summary
Louisville, Kentucky hair transplant services are offered mainly by multi-service plastic surgery practices rather than dedicated hair clinics. CaloAesthetics Plastic Surgery Center, with offices in Louisville, Lexington, St. Matthews and Floyds Knobs, Indiana, names four plastic surgeons and offers NeoGraft FUE as well as FUT; its hair pages describe surgeons placing follicles and a certified NeoGraft technician implanting them, and prices are not published. Mays Plastic Surgery in Louisville names Dr. Chet Mays and Dr. Jeffrey Gross and offers NeoGraft FUE; pricing is not published and the hair page does not specify who performs each step. Neither practice states ABHRS certification or ISHRS membership on the pages reviewed. National chains, an Istanbul clinic and an Indiana-based practice also compete for Louisville patients in search results. Patients should ask specifically who performs harvesting and implantation in a NeoGraft procedure, and verify credentials through the ABHRS and ISHRS registries.
