Rafael Nadal Plastic Surgery: Before and After His Hair Transplant

Yes, Rafael Nadal had plastic surgery in the form of a hair transplant. Check out the transformation in the images below. Was the cosmetic procedure worth it? At least, the tennis player seems to believe so.

Rafael Nadal is a Spanish professional tennis player who is currently ranked world No. 2 in men’s singles tennis by the Association of Tennis Professionals. He is widely regarded as the finest clay court player in history and has been nicknamed “The King of Clay.” Turning professional in 2001 at age 15, he has won 20 Grand Slam singles titles, 35 ATP World Tour Masters 1000 titles, 21 ATP World Tour 500 tournaments, and the 2008 Olympic gold medal in singles. Born Rafael Nadal Parera on June 3, 1986 in Manacor, Majorca to Ana María Parera and Sebastián Nadal, he began playing tennis at age three with his uncle Toni Nadal, who is his coach. He has a younger sister named María Isabel. He played many sports in high school, but had to quit football when football and tennis conflicted. He won his first Grand Slam title at French Open at the age of 19. He has been in a relationship with María Francisca (Xisca) Perelló since 2005.

The Spanish tennis federation asked his family to let him move to Barcelona to complete his tennis training when he was 14, but they refused, saying he could be a good athlete from home.

Novak Djokovic replaced him as the world’s #1 tennis player in 2011.

What many people may not know is that Rafael Nadal already underwent hair transplant surgery in 2016. In fact, he had a Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) procedure just like we perform at The Hair Doctor. According to Spanish newspaper reports, he had a 4,500 graft hair transplant.
