Long time reader, first time poster. I'm in my early 30s and have been had a relatively stable genetically receding hairline for over 15 years. However, I started noticing more hair in the drain over the past year and started on finasteride, which I've been taking almost 9 months now. I noticed a decrease in the hair in the shower but I would really like to restore my hairline. I haven't brushed my hair back since I was in high school and would really like to start looking into options.
As many people in the forum, I'm on a budget. So I was looking at maybe going to Bhatti in India or Maral in Turkey. I definitely want FUE and no strip. I also think I might have too high of expectations of having a good full hairline, so I wanted to get your opinions.
The other issue is getting time off from work. I can probably get a month to 6 weeks. I'm aware of some of the recommended surgeons doing the procedure without shaving, but does anyone know if either of these surgeons do this as well? If not, I can just bite the bullet, but I'm in healthcare and work with patients quite a bit.
Also, I'm certainly not committed to either of these surgeons and am wide open to suggestions.
Thanks!
PS if you have surgeon suggestions and know their approx price, that would be appreciated.
