Certainly I understand, just remember though if the price seems too good then it probably is. Where are you looking to go? Dr Erdogan is certainly alot cheaper the Dr Rahal and most western doctors in the US and Canada. I live in the US now and I am certainly going back to Europe (Dr Erdogan) for my transplant, once I've saved the money up!

llvlludassar- I was quoted 7500euros for 3000 grafts (2.5 euros/graft) and then 300 for medication.

I have been searching forever and I had narrowed down my short list to originally - Keser, Feriduni and Rahal. But after doing another 6 months of research I became more aware of Erdogan (especially in the Italian Forums) and have to say that I have been thoroughly impressed. I spoke with Dr Erdogan's rep via e-mail and with the pricing that was offered for the 3000 grafts they estimated, I am strongly considering Dr. Erdogan and putting him at the top of my list! Honestly after more research the results really speak for themselves. I love the fact that he uses a manual punch too! Now it's just a case of saving up...or winning the lottery to make it happen this year, if not next year I will be fully ready for it!

Joe-T, I'm sorry to hear about your experience. Sounds like you had a rough time. Why do you wish to not let us know who the surgeon was? I'm asking because surely you don't want to anyone else to experience this? Also have you tried contacting the doctor and including the moderators in an e-mail? Do you also have pre op pictures? Luke

Rob, Honestly that is fantastic! Congratulations and it's only going to get better! Good for you!!!

Rob, Any new updates?

Sebastian, Do you have any new updates?? Would like to see your progress pictures

England, any update for your photos? how have last few months been?

Thanks for all the help guys, I am awaiting on a few more consultations with the docs and then will be making my decision! Exciting!!!

Great frontal result Dr Wesley! Very clean looking!

That's a great result. Very impressive work!

Very natural result!

What a great result!

@Agenteye- Congratulation on your procedure with Dr. Rahal, I saw your postings and I am happy for you. Excited to see how everything comes along. I have not consulted in person with a physician yet, I know I should. So far I have been quoted 2000-2500 I would like to stick with closer to 2500 + to add the density I want, but all depends on my donor supply. I do have extremely thick hair at the back of my head so hopefully!! @Mickey- I agree I prefer the manual punch rather then the motorized, I think Dr. Rahal is now using motorized correct? I have seen much better results with the manual punch, not to mention the punch size is smaller (even though it has more potential to do damage to the follicle, I feel that a skilled surgeon is much better then a machine) @Future- Thank you for your recommendation @Levrais- Thank you, if I am ever by the east coast I will shoot you a message and see if we can meet. Your results so far looked amazing too, if I remember right you had 4000 prior to this surgery correct? Minimal white dots as well from what I could see. Congratulations!!

Hey everyone, It's been a long time since I posted and thought I would update with my hair loss progress. I was on Finasteride for a while and decided to come off of it due to cystic acne breakouts, these have subsequently stopped since. I stuck with minoxidil and have started to add Saw Palmetto into my regime as a natural DHT blocker. Whilst on Fin I did notice some temple regrowth and also my hair in general became thicker, unfortunately for me though I hated the acne moreso then the hair loss. A little about my background, I am 25 years old and noticed my hair loss really around 18-20. It started out with my temples and now is going through my frontal third. As an actor I have to keep my appearance up for casting. I have decided to go the FUE route as it will give me more diversity with hair styles then FUT. My father and his father are a NW 1.5 as are all my cousins, my maternal grandfather has a NW 6 and the same with my uncles on my mothers side. I understand that the MPB gene comes from the mother side (allegedly) and like the rest of you fund it unfair that you're the bald sheep of the family haha! I was born and raised in the UK and now I am living in Colorado, USA. I am looking to have my procedure around April/May 2013 (this will hopefully be when I have my 10 year green card, and will be able to leave the States for a couple of weeks). The overall plan is to get something that is not going to look like a teenage hairline but something simmilar to Chris Hemsworth hair line, where it has a NW 1.5 look to it. That way as I grow older it will still suit. I understand that I will more then likely have to have another procedure later on, depending on the loss, but as of right now my scalp and crown have not suffered any (there is my cow's lick though ) I have been in contact with several clinics and have broken the list down to Dr. Keser of Derma Plast, Dr. Rahal of Rahal Transplant, Dr. Bisanga of BHR Clinic, & Dr. Feriduni of Dr Feriduni Hair Clinic. I just wanted to get your opinions and keep you all updated on my decisions and get your opinions, especially any of you that are close by that I can see your results in person. And I am open to suggestions of other doctors in case I have overlooked any doctors. Hope you all have a great weekend!!!

Awesome result already! Congratulations going to be a knockout at 12 months!

Looking great!!!!

Congratulations on your procedure with Dr. Rahal. Wishing you all the best for your future growth!

Sunny55- I would highly recommend doing some further research away from the UK. Honestly the results from the UK are not as high (in my opinion) compared to other clinics. Are you looking to do FUE or FUT, have you had any consultations yet with any docs? Are you on any meds?

Wow that looks like a stunning result mate! Looking froward to seeing some clearer pictures but otherwise wow! Congratulations and you just have more thickening to come!!!

a'Ali de Sousa looks amazing as he is! I think he should get the look he has, it suits him ALOT!

Well I wish you all the best! Excited for you!

Gatsu, Thank you for the update!! That looks amazing! You must be extremely happy!! Have you suffered any additional loss behind the transplant?

Gatsu I'm sure youre now off out in the world enjoying your knockout nee hair but if you have time I think we would all love to see a current pic. Thanks

Sean, Any more updates on your results?
