What recent patients say
4.9 / 5 · 62 Google reviewsI always have an excellent experience when visiting Dr. Nadimi. She is knowledgeable, empathetic, and responsive to my needs.
I had a hair transplant with Doctor Nadimi on March 17th at Chicago Hair Institute. After researching for awhile and reading first hand accounts of different patients, I decided to schedule a consultation with Dr. Nadimi considering the fact that she was consistently mentioned in the top 3 hair transplant surgeons in the United States on every forum I went on to research. Looking at her former patients posting their photos all throughout their hair transplant journey at Chicago Hair Institute, there was no doubt in my mind that Dr. Nadimi was producing absolute world class results. I had 1700 grafts placed and I am currently 5 days out from the procedure. All of the swelling is almost completely gone, my hairline looks incredible, and the donor area looks untouched. I want to thank the entire staff at Chicago Hair Institute, especially Anya. She took care of me all throughout the day of the procedure from start to finish, and she did my follow up care the days after surgery. Lastly, and most importantly I would like to say Thank you to Dr. Sahir Nadimi. I could not be happier with my results!
Dr. Nadimi did an amazing job with my care! She was very thorough and took the time to educate me during my visit. Will continue to trust her with my future care!
Fantastic and caring surgeon. I am thrilled with my results. I was very nervous and did a lot of research. Dr Nadimi did a great job explaining everything and followed up frequently. I am grateful that I found her. I highly recommend Dr Nadimi and her team!

Dr. Nadimi's Surgical Approach
Dr. Sahar Nadimi approaches deep plane facelift surgery by working beneath the SMAS layer (the superficial musculoaponeurotic system, a sheet of connective tissue and muscle that supports the face).
Dr. Sahar Nadimi approaches deep plane facelift surgery by working beneath the SMAS layer (the superficial musculoaponeurotic system, a sheet of connective tissue and muscle that supports the face). Rather than pulling on the skin, this technique addresses the structural foundation of facial aging.
The deep plane method involves sub-SMAS dissection, meaning the surgeon releases and lifts the deeper tissue layer as a single unit. This allows the cheek, jawline, and midface to be repositioned in a way that restores youthful contour without a tight or pulled appearance.
