There's a few options of hotels to choose from. I'm not picky, except for wanting a strong AC and english speaking accommodations. Any recommendations and tips? I'll also have a day or two extra, so any recommendations for stuff to do / see would be helpful. -

We present the case of a 50-year-old individual who underwent a second FUE hair transplant. Previously, he received approximately 2800 grafts at a different clinic. Over time, as his natural hair thinned, his baldness became increasingly noticeable. The Patient was seeking to establish a denser hairline but keep the same height and improve overall density. He approached us with the goal of enhancing coverage throughout the Norwood class 5 region. The complexity of his case was heightened by his prior FUE procedure and the presence of gray hair. Despite these challenges, we successfully harvested 4000 grafts from his donor area. We meticulously utilized the entire donor region, ensuring an even distribution of extractions to maintain a natural appearance without depleting the donor site. The result is presented 10 months after. The strategic placement of the 4000 grafts over a substantial area yielded very good results. The enhanced density and, most importantly, the natural look of the transplant met our client's expectations and exemplified our commitment to excellence in hair restoration.

Very unfortunate that you got side effects from Finasteride. Finasteride really help's to maintain existing hair. You have a severe Hairloss at the age of 26, need to plan your HT properly, please don't rush and get consultation from various doctors. Rough estimate will be 6k Plus for good density. It's a large area to cover so ideally you will need two surgery to achieve good illusion of density. Dr. Zarev is master of such cases but you will be 31 or 32 to get his hands on your head. -
Just eager to know your consultation price?

Hello, Please share a list of doctors who could assist with my particular case. Not many people seem to perform FUE + SMP with a buzz cut. I shaved my head when I was 23 after trying finasteride, minoxidil, and almost every OTC and bizarre solution out there. Unfortunately, nothing helped. I underwent an SMP procedure, and the results were amazing when I still had some hair on my scalp. At that time, I was likely a NW3V or a bit more. Now, at 28, although I still like the SMP, it's not looking the same because I need to shave almost every couple of days due to further hair loss, especially in the front. I am almost bald except for some hair here and there in the center of the mid-front area. I posted about my SMP experience here; you can check the pictures, as the results were impressive. Here's the link to see my SMP: As you read in my 2019 post, I already planned to undergo this procedure. Now, after a painful breakup, having more money, and the flexibility to work whenever and wherever I want, it's time to pursue the 3D, low-density, FUE + SMP hair transplant combo. The reason I want to do this is that with some stubble, my SMP looked much better, and I could instruct the SMP practitioner to use a darker ink. This way, during the night or in low light, I would appear to have chosen to shave my head, whereas in daylight, I would still have some hair, framing my face better. I understand the limitations of both hair transplants and SMP, but after extensive research, I believe this is the best move for my future, especially at 28, where I believe my confidence would greatly benefit. My goal is to maintain short hair, using a guard 0 hair razor and shaving every 2-3-4 days, as I did when I still had some hair. I am mainly interested in addressing my hairline, front, and mid-scalp, as these areas have the most significant visual impact on the face. I am okay with a bald spot in the back of my head, as I shave for a reason. I would address hair loss on my vertex separately. The idea is to create a dark 3D illusion of density in the front for frontal pictures or interactions. The main concern is to avoid scarring. Therefore, I need a doctor who personally performs both the extraction and the incision or a highly professional team, ensuring natural angles and using a small punch for follicle extraction to minimize scarring at the back. I plan to retouch my SMP with a darker color and also have an SMP procedure on my donor area after recovery. While I live in Europe, I am open to traveling anywhere. I am currently in Latin America and plan to embark on a year-long trip to Southeast Asia this winter. As this region is generally more affordable, I would prefer to avoid the Americas and stay closer to Europe, Turkey, or Southeast Asia. I believe my expectations are reasonable, and with 3000-3500 strategically placed grafts in my temples, front, and mid-scalp, I could achieve a satisfactory result, preserving some donor hair for potential future procedures. For this operation, the more economical, the better. Ideally, I would like to spend between 3-4k USD for 3000-3500 grafts. Please let me know which doctors you would recommend for this procedure. c
