So I had a consultation with Dr True last week. He came across as intelligent, respectable, and competent. There was no hype or crap, just a realistic discussion about what to expect and all questions answered properly. Definitely the best consultation I've had yet and the only one I am taking seriously.
They classified me as a 3A and offered 1700-2000 grafts on front/temple for 8000-9500 FUT, 13600-16000 FUE. PRP injection option +1500. I guess these were around the prices expected and I am not put off by them. I was pleasantly surprised by how minor the photos of FUT scars were, and would probably go for that.
Anyone who's had experiences with Dorin and True working on front and temples, whether donor region FUT or FUE, feel free to comment please.
I think I'll probably go ahead with a HT at some stage but not sure when. Right now I'll opt for a regime of propecia, rogaine, minoxidil and tricomin to see where that takes me.
Thanks for all the other suggestions guys... Beehner, Konior, Feller, Rahal etc. I will keep them in mind if I get closer to making a decision.
