  1. Hi guys, I recently had a consultation with Dr Bisanga in London. Although I am NW6, he suggested I would be a suitable candidate for FUE. The plan was to go for 3000-3500 initially for the front third then a second HT for the mid and crown areas. However I have now decided that I want to go for FUT and this has been agreed as an option for me also with Dr B. I have made this decision because potentially upto 4500 could be harvested in one session and it is a lot cheaper. I'm hoping that with 4500, he will be able to give me more of an overall spread. I am almost ready to pay my deposit and hope to have my HT in September 2017. But I guess my question is, Dr B is know for being a great FUE surgeon but I haven't seen anything written about his FUT work. Am I still in safe hands using Dr B for FUT work or might there be a better option? Can anyone advise? Many Thanks, Gary
  2. Thanks guys... I'm gonna go back in and talk to the pharmacist!
  3. ok - the pound sign aint working here... the currency obviously is British Pounds (sterling)
  4. Hi guys Just collected my first prescription of Propecia today. Cant wait to get started... For convenience sake I opted to get my first 28 pills from Boots... They charged me ?46 GBP! Could this be a mistake? After checking Boots online they were only charging ?38 GBP. Other online sources as low as ?36GBP (although I'm not too sure how trust worthy they are). Not only that, but the pharmacist told me she had given me a discount of around ?7 or ?8... This seems very expensive to me. Has anyone else had this problem with Boots in the UK?? Does anyone have any recommendations as to the best place to buy?? Thanks
  5. Guys, thank you all so much for replying. Research, research, research seems to be the best advice. And decent photos lol... Thanks again for taking the time to write.
  6. Hi guys... Recently had a consultation with Hospital Group (Ziering) in Belfast after deciding that a hair transplant is for me... Im 30 years old and have lost most of my hair at the front and greatly thinning on top, although a fair amount of hair still grows there in a reduced state. They recommended 2250-2750 grafts for around ?8000. They recommended starting propecia to thicken up the hair on the top and a transplant to restore the hairline, working back and blending through to the crown. They would have supported doing a transplant without any reason for delay. Although I dont dispute their recommendations, after reading the barrage of negative comments on here, I've struck them off my list for local UK based surgeons. It seems like too big a gamble with too much cost! My only other UK option appears to be Farjo who I plan to have a consultation with in the coming months... Ok so now come my quesitons for the experts... 1) Is it worth my while flying from Belfast to London for a consultation with Farjo only to be told to start taking propecia and come back in a years time?? I recognise that I will have to take propecia starting pretty much immediately anyway and that it will take roughly a year to see its effect... I know propecia wont regrow the hair which is lost at the front. 2) Many of you seem to recommend going overseas for the best treatment. Is it possible to have an online consultation with pics then booking treatment? Or would they require meeting me in person first? Thus requiring two trips to NYC for example Ive included some pics of my hair just to illustrate my current hair loss. I'd really appreciate any advice guys. Many thanks, Gary
