If you cannot afford a decent surgeon. Do not get surgery. You need A LOT of grafts, I would say at least 5,000 to restore the front and crown. If you’re not on preventive medication. I suggest getting on it for a year before considering surgery. In that time, research, research, research, and SAVE!
If you’re one of the lucky ones, your crown might grow in a lot, reducing the number of grafts required, thus, getting an HT much cheaper. Dr. Turan does good affordable work, but it’s not gonna cost 2,000. More like 4,500-5000. Again, this all depends on whether your hair stays the same on meds, or whether you get regrowth. Currently, this is how I’d plan your surgery.
