My first post op pics..Session 1. 2500 grafts extracted from half the donor site. So far i am quite satisfied . My head feels heavy the right side of my face feels swollen but that's normal. 

I have my second sitting tomorrow to fill the middle and the crown.

Did doctor perform most of the procedure himself?

I wish you all the best, keep us posted.

Sean which doctor did you go to? Btw I am in VA and did consult a recommended doctor in my area but unfortunately he is only knows for FUT.

Hello,

Ive been reviewing all surgeons in pakistan. I came across these

1- Dr Humayun - does 3-4 ops per day which i dont like plus results have very low density

2- dr fawad chaudhry - no online presence and no before after pics

3- Dr ahmed: limited or no online presence. 
 

all of these are abhrs certified but i dont know how do i further investigate. Any recommendations

Have you considered Gujarat Hair Transplant? I don’t have any personal experience but online result looks pretty decent. I may go visit them when I am in Pakistan next.

Hello

I am from Islamabad and am going to have a surgery with a Pakistani doctor  (Dr Mazhar Hussain) very soon. I have done extensive research (Turkish clinics ) and finalized Dr Hussain based on his consultation , results and his understanding of the surgery. He has done an amazing job on one of his Danish clients. You should consider him if you are from Pakistan.

P.S. He charges a premium - you cannot get the best quality at the best price!

I left a message with his representative but he never emailed me back with his cost. Do you mind sharing your price quote? I have heard good things about this doctor.

Good luck Bax. Keep us posted.

So flying isn't your thing but you're willing to travel anywhere in the US and even to Mexico?

This is correct as there is a big flying time difference b/w domestic and international flights. As I said I been delaying my hair transplant for the past few years due to my fear of flying but now I am at a point where fear of baldness has overcome fear of flying. Makes sense?

@Baldy1974 out of your 2 options I would chose Demirsoy but I would advise you to spend a bit more and go to either Dr. Bruno Ferreira (2.5€/graft), HLC (2.7€/graft) because they are in whole different league. 
Dr. Arika at Eugenix  (1.8€/graft) is also a much better option. 

@Portugal25 Are you happy with your surgery with Dr. Pekiner? I think you suggested his name but then removed it later but I am not sure.

I highly doubt it’s 3 dollars per graft for fue. They are on the more expensive side from what I’ve heard

You are right. They have 4.31 euro per graft for FUE on their website.

Have you consulted with Dr Yaman or Dr Demirsoy yet? What were their suggestions? When I was deciding on my procedure, the choice came down to Demirsoy, Yaman, HLC, Pekiner or Cinik so I may be able to help out. I ultimately chose Dr Yaman and am happy with the results so far. 

Out of the five, only Dr Demirsoy refused to proceed with surgery. He mentioned that my donor area was weak and because I was heading for NW 6, he would not proceed with surgery. Also mentioned that if I got 4000 grafts extracted the area would be overharvested. I am about four months post op and I had 4300 grafts done via FUE and there is no sign of overharvesting, plus I can still get another 2000 -3000 grafts. Dr Demirsoy does the surgery himself, but he can be extremely conservative, which isn't a bad thing, but like in my case he underestimated the number of grafts I could get so it might not be the most efficient use of grafts. Dr Yaman estimated my donor capacity at around 6000 grafts and Dr Demirsoy did not think there was enough for 4000 grafts. I think it is important that you have in person consultations to determine your lifetime donor supply and proceed from there. 

Yes I am in contact with both right now and you are absolutely right Dr Demirsoy told me my donor area is just ok and he may be able to extract 2500-3500 grafts but not enough to cover all the bald spots and he has refused to proceeds with surgery on my friend because he thinks his donor area is weak. Whereas Dr. Yaman thinks I have good donor area and he can extract 4500 grafts and cover most of the bald area. I have yet to receive his evaluation on my friend though. I am really confused at this time but currently leading towards Dr. Yaman. I will also consult the other doctors mentioned above by others.

Thanks @Portugal25 and @Melvin-Moderator I will definitely consult with these doctors.

Thanks @Bigjab

What made you pick Demirsoy over Yaman?

How many grafts can safely be extracted? I am receiving different opinions from different doctors? Just wondering what you guys think..

I agree but when you are on a budget you want to look for the best within your budget and my understanding is Dr Yaman is also a recommended doctor here.

I will contact the doctors you recommended. Thanks 🙏 

I am in Washington DC and willing to travel to anywhere in USA if cost is within my budget. I am also considering Dr. Nader in Mexico but not sure if it is safe to travel there. 

Dear Members,

After a long time of searching I have decided to take the plunge this year. I have narrowed down my research to Dr. Erkan Demirsoy and Dr. Resul Yaman based on their experience, results and obviously the cost. What is your opinion on these doctors?

My problem is flying is not my thing anymore and this is what is stopping me for years to have a hair transplant. I would avoid it if I can find a doctor in USA within my budget? I know it’s not going to be the same as doctors mentioned above but who is the best least expensive doctor? Any suggestions?

I have never seen a bald Chinese 😂 maybe that’s why awareness is not there yet.

Sorry, but by the English, I feel like this maybe a competing clinic just trying to tarnish Dr. Bhatti’s reputation with a nonsensical response. 

I don't think English has to do anything with this nonsensical response. There are several individuals here (including myself) whom first language is not English. 

Good Luck @HLPToronto

@Bill - Managing Publisher I apologize if I violated a forum rule but that was not my intention. I wasn't aware of Dr history on this forum. You can delete this post if you want. 

I am considering either Dr Nader in Mexico o. The problem with Dr Nader is his poor response time. Dr esponse time is great but I don’t see lot of info about him on this forum. Is he a good FUE Doctor?

You can also consult Dr. William Lindsey in McLean, VA. He is a recommended doctor and not too far from you. Good Luck

Thanks Markee, I just sent an email to Dr. Rahal office.

Thanks Cosmo, where did you go for your HT if you don’t mind me asking. I am in Washington DC and will consult Dr. Lindsay and Dr. Rahal.

Hello All,

I have been searching / reading this forum for years and I think I am finally going to get the HT done this year. I have contacted some doctors / clinics in Turkey, Greece and Poland and price is within my budget. Although I am on a budget but also trying to avoid the travel as much as possible.

What are my options in Northern America? I think I need at least 2500+ grafts. Who should I contact and what is their cost if I don’t want to travel abroad.

Is it safe to travel to Mexico?
