Editorial note: DOWNGRADED to Tier 3 — thin verification. The clinic clearly exists (strong Google Business Profile presence), but every quantitative review figure (4.9 / 2564) reaches us only through commission aggregators (MyHair.ai, WhatClinic, ClinicBooking, Wheree, Top-Rated.online, MedicalTourism.review) — none independent. No Reddit or Trustpilot presence found. The hair-transplant surgeon 'Dr. Lichev' has no published full name (cannot verify as a named principal); IAHRS training claims for Antoniou/Kassini are unconfirmed. Email shown on site but redacted by fetch tool — left null (not guessed). No verified photos. Meets existence bar but FAILS the >=2-independent-source bar for the hair-transplant service specifically; keep only as a thin Tier 3 listing. [2026-08-13 re-verification] Recount = 2, upgraded from 1 — the second source existed and was never recorded. (1) A genuine, large Google Business Profile: 4.80 stars from ~3,176 reviews (~3.2K of them Google), at бул. 'България' 102, кв. Манастирски ливади, Sofia, ranked #1 of 5 plastic surgery clinics in Sofia. This is real scale, and it is the datum the aggregators were laundering — the previously recorded '4.9 / 2564' figure reaching us only via MyHair.ai/WhatClinic/ClinicBooking was a relay of this profile, not a separate source. Google Place ID ChIJ3XhRMlSFqkAR1d5TO2Q8-ZA confirms the profile is real. (2) kosopad.bg, an independent Bulgarian hair-loss community forum, carries a dedicated thread on the clinic (2018) — though I must be honest that it is a single thin post with character-encoding corruption, so it establishes community awareness rather than a usable patient account. Also located but NOT counted and NOT opened (403): a bg-mamma.com thread (Bulgaria's largest community forum, filed under 'Мнения'/opinions) and a MED.BG / JOBS.BG profile for the legal entity BELLISSIMO CLINIC OOD — worth a follow-up pass, as either would firm this up materially. New detail gained: the hair-transplant surgeon has a full name, Dr. Simeon Lichev (д-р Симеон Личев), a plastic surgery specialist, independently listed with a consultation schedule on fashionpoint.bg alongside Dr. Ivan Uzunov and Dr. Mark Stefanov. CAVEATS for tier 3: I could not confirm Dr. Lichev in the Bulgarian Medical Union (BLS) register or any hair-restoration authority body, so his HT-specific credential stays verified:false; and the 3.2K review corpus is for a broad aesthetic-medicine and plastic-surgery clinic, NOT hair transplant specifically — do not present that rating as a hair-transplant rating. Keep at tier 3, never higher, until a registry hit lands.
