Ah yes! As replied below also it seems EVERYONE is saying avoid Bosley... do u know on this site where I can find any LA based surgeons?

Thanks very much! Yes - he reached out to me which was really very kind of him... it seems EVERYONE is saying avoid Bosley. Are there any LA based surgeons you would recommend? Thanks so much.

I am a 30 year old male, originally from the UK. I started noticing that the sides of my hairline were receding about a year and a half ago. I began using a number of treatments over the next year and a half to combat this. Apart from the side parts I have a lot of hair on my head and can easily cover the bits that are receding but don't want to have to. First I use Rogaine Foam, just on the sides, this hasn't appeared to have any effect. Then I started Propecia and that did seem to give me more hair - but not on the sides which is the only part I wanted to re-grow. I even tried Latisse on those areas as heard it would help but that didn't seem to have much effect. After that I tried a 12.5% minoxidil cream, to be applied nightly, from the UK Belgravia clinic. This may have helped but it's hard to notice a difference. I'm worried that these stubborn side areas wouldn't respond to these types of medicine.

After all this I thought it was time to see about a Hair Transplant. I went to Bosley (Beverly Hills, I live in Los Angeles) who advised me that I would need 500-800 graphs. I am considering having the surgery done with them next wk so any fast replies much, MUCH appreciated!

Are Bosley any good? I've read good and bad things about them online? Which of the three surgeons there are the best - Mark V Andrews, Edwin A Suddleson or David P Deutsch?

If they are not the best can anyone reccommend a better surgeon in LA? Baring in mind I am not losing that much hair and want to do this on a bit of a budget as I am self employed?

Please Help! Thankyou.
