Hi Where can I get Finisteride in the UK? I have looked at the commercial pharmacies and they are extremely expensive.

I would love to go with Dr Lorenzo but his prices are beyond my reach

All, I am looking for advice on a good FUE clinic... I have been in touch with Dr. Koray Erdogan's clinic, as he was my first choice, but I cannot get available dates for the period I have my leave... Please can someone recommend a top clinic? Ideally in Europe, as I prefer to stay close to the UK... I have previously had 3000 grafts from another clinic about 18 months ago, and now need coverage in the crown and more at the front... Much appreciate...

Thanks guys... my head still feels really itchy due to the small stubble appearing... is this normal?

I have attached pre-op pic and the current 3 month pic. Please let me know what you think.

Hi All - Thanks for all the advice... I guess you start to worry when you see others having great early growth and compare your own results at that same stage... I got a negative comment today from a work colleague about my thinning hair which made me more determined to talk to him when I eventually have my finished result and hopefully I'll be able to make him eat his words ;0)

Hi I'm at 3 months post op of my FUE procedure after having approx 3000 grafts. I seem to have had alot of my native hair growing back and assume this down to the meds (Biotin and Fin). I also can feel some stubble from the implanted hairs, but the growth is very slow with those hairs. My only concern is that it feels like only approx. 20%-30% of the implanted 3000 grafts seem to be growing currently. Is this normal for 3 months? When should I expect to feel more growth or at least a reasonable amount of growth? Thanks in advance...

Yes it's with Dr Hakan Doganay

All, Since my FUE procedure is nearing in December, I just wanted to get some advice on the aftercare following a FUE procedure. Can folks share some products they recommend to help reduce swelling, redness, etc. Also, any do's and dont's that you may think are useful. Much appreciated, J

Thanks everyone for your advice and thoughts... the money is certainly much higher than other docs... but he gets the results too...

All, I'm booked for my FUE HT in December and have a few last minute queries: 1) I'm still not sure whether to go for manual extraction or motorised. Have folks on here had better success with manual? 2) I've been told by the clinic that the following will be done, but want to get people's views on whether I should ask for the Dr to be more hands on with the actual extraction: - Extracting will done by a tech - Implanting will be done by the Dr and a tech - Hair line implanting will be done by the Dr 3) I'm about a NW 4/5 with frontal work required as well as vertex, and in total going for about 4500 grafts. However, I'm now thinking whether I should focus on the frontal and middle area, so that the procedure overall is smaller. My question is, are smaller procedures of say 3000 - 3500 grafts more prone to be successful than a larger session of say 4500 grafts? I guess I'm more concerned about the yield and if a smaller procedure is more likely to give me that then I'll take that approach. So please can the trusted members of this forum give me some advice on the above? Thanks, J

All, I had been impressed with Dr Hakan Doganay's work, but recently there have been a number of patients that have had negative experiences or should I say not so good results. I since started to look at other HT docs and cannot find a single negative post about Dr Lorenzo. His results for high norwood patients are top notch so wanted to seek other people's opinions on whether they also feel Dr Lorenzo is the safer bet? Also, anyone have any idea how long the wait time is to get a slot with Dr Lorenzo? Thanks, J

Ah now it makes sense, as I have been told I will be staying at their hospital accommodation instead of a hotel and I was wandering why your post stated you stayed in a hotel... Jay

Thanks guys... I wasn't sure where you stand with things but appreciate the replies... Looks like I'll be using up a couple of weeks of annual leave... Jay

Hey thepasserby have you had your op with Dr Doganay yet? I'm planning my op with him in Dec... are you based in the UK? J

Hi thanks johnboy71... my job is an office job so I was planning on taking 2 weeks sick leave and another 2 as annual leave... is that too excessive? How long before the redness disappears? Jay

Hi, I have booked my FUE HT in December abroad outside of the UK and wanted to know whether the sick note that is offered by the doctor will be valid for me to take the first 2 weeks off work as sick? Or do I have to get my GP in the UK to provide me with a sick note? For a FUE procedure, I have been told you should take the first 2 weeks off work, would you all agree this is a sensible amount of time or do you recommend more time? Thanks, Jay

Hi, I'm seriously considering a transplant with Dr Hakan Doganay but would really like to meet a patient or maybe even Skype with one of his UK patients. This would really in making my final decision. If anyone reading this is one of his patients and is based in the UK then please reply. Jay

Thanks Spex, I'll give him a try and let you know how it goes.

Hi I previously bought finasteride from Dr Singh in the UK but his website doesn't seem to work anymore... can anyone advise where else in the UK I can buy it from??? Thanks, J
