This has thrown me into a quandry. I've just been in contact with LONGEVITA (One of their customer service reps via internet chat), and I finished rather disconcerted (maybe there was a language barrier but the girl said she was from London).
Anyway, same offer as the chap above came through. 1650 Euros for AS MANY GRAFTS as can be harvested in one session. Girl said this could take up to 8 hours. Includes the PRP Plasma to aid recovery, your accomodation (at this price it was in the hospital but with all meals..etc) and flights from anywhere in the UK.
If it looks like it's TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE, then often it is (my Dad used to quip). I asked 'standard' questions about where the surgeon would be during the procedure (doing it? or nearby with assistants doing it?). How would they assess my needs, my hairline..etc.
What was their idea of the maximum grafts? 5000 IN ONE GO - says 'she.' I say...'I don't think so!' Due to the head trauma and implants not taking properly. But YES...5000 she confirmed.
I was also advised that it I opted for THE PROFESSOR then he/she was more experienced with better results. So of course I asked..." Well what results am I likely to get if it's done by one of the other surgeons on your list?" No answer.
She said it was A GREAT DEAL...and my reply was..."It's only a 'great deal' if the results are 'great!' The PRICE is marvellous, but I just have warning bells going in the back of my head on this one.
Now I've read some of the pieces in this thread, I'm really worried and concerned about this company. I want to get it right FIRST TIME and I want to be in the hands of someone who does what they say they are going to do and have the experience, knowledge and specialism to come up with the goods. No one wants to be butchered, and I have these worries now having read all this, I 'really' do...
Any advice welcome guys
