Thanks! My results have been above average for sure. Not taking any meds but the vitamin supplement I was given by Dr which contains a bit of biotin

Dr. Wds and his sister in the early 00's - those were the days. I remember the 100K mafia-esque # Wds spit out on his keyboard for all of us to read. Probably after a 'party favors' bender. Then, to have C*le come over - they probably were ready to have an ol'-time wild wild west shootout after lunch!! Ahahaha (ironic post for the no sense of humor people in this thread). It was great theatre back then!!! Disclaimer: Yuuuuuge C*le fan here & yes I have met & consulted with the man.

Who have you consulted with so far? £6K sounds very cheap. In order to get you the frontal third and midscalp coverage needed, as well as address the crown at least a bit, you'd ideally need a minimum of 4,000 grafts and anything you can get above that number from scalp, beard or both would be a great benefit. FUT rather than FUE might be your friend here as well (or a combination of both). 4000 grafts into £6,000 = £1.5 per graft. I don't know exactly how much each of the best clinics in the UK charge, but most of them charge decently more than that, so I'm a bit concerned you might be speaking with the wrong clinics (or you're getting a bargain from one of the up and comers!). For your level of hair loss, reduced donor and age I think you'd need to speak with Pittella and Hattingen. Both will blow your budget out of the water, but both are excellent and known for their ability to do very large sessions. Others will recommend Zarev, but again, budget + the 3 year waiting list just for a consultation probably isn't going to fly I imagine! On the budget-friendly end of the spectrum, you have good options in Thailand who have experience with higher NW cases. You also have Eugenix in India; we've seen planning issues in a number of results and patient testimonials as they've grown their operation quite considerably, but at their best they do produce some of the most radical and transformative high NW cases you'll find anywhere. I think as a minimum you want to get as many consultations from some or all of the surgeons best known for their work on high NW cases and gather as much info and as many ideas about what's possible for you as you can.

Patient’s information - 60 YO Asian male with AGA Class 6. He refuse the medical treatment for hair loss and look for hair transplantation and options other than medicine. - Underlying medical history: Hypertension with well control. Some spots of seborrheic dermatitis on both parietal area. We performed shaven FUE procedure and PRP[ Platelets rich plasma injection]. The machine usage was Trivellini’s MAMBA. The punch size was 0.95 mm, flare tip. The implanting method by implanters. The hairline was drawn in adult maturing fashion as the patient reached his 60’s already. At the number of 3k, we focus mainly on the half front. The number of grafts breaks down into 1 hair graft x 478 2 hair graft x 1,978 3 hair graft x 578 Total = 3,034 FUG Ratio of hair per graft = 2.03 The photos show 1 year after hair transplantation. He returned to schedule the later session to cover rest of the crown area.
