Thanks for your replies. I won't be going into this lightly, otherwise I would have gone to the first name in the Yellow Pages! El Nino - I see you are UK based, can you share why you went to Dr Rahal? I've taken an interest in him myself and also could you share why you had two visits a couple of years apart? Which other clinics / Doctors did you see in the UK before going for Dr Rahal? Spending the money is not a (major) issue - like you say, I'd much rather pay a bit more and get a first class job done, I firmly believe in you get what you pay for. thanks.

Hi all, I hit 40 this year and so decided to sort myself out! Bought a motorbike, getting into rallying, stop smoking and lose a stone or two! Also on the list, get hair loss sorted out! I've had a brief look round this site for a couple of hours today, there certainly seems to be loads of really great info on all subjects. However, I have a few questions.. I've decided i want surgery for my hair loss. Most of the recommended doctors seem to be in the USA? I appreciate this is an American site but there only seems to be one recommendation of a guy in London for the whole of the uk? Does anyone know how the costs of surgery in the US compare to the UK? I seem to remember reading a post (which unfortunately, i can't find now!) where a guy travelled to Canada, spent $5k and the cost was comparable (including travel and hotels etc) to the UK? Would that be right? Second, my wife heard something on the radio the other day about some sort of new "miracle" treatment involving some sort of plant extract? Its apparently going to the testing stage but could "revolutionise" hair loss treatement? Does anyone know anything about this? i think thats about all my questions for now - there is clearly a lot more reading to do on the subject. thanks. Ian
