NYC1180

After years of contemplation and reading others experiences I 've finally decided to schedule some consultations within the next month. I live in NYC and spoke with one surgeon who I was comfortable with. He did shaveless (donor area) FUE and PRP and has very good results. The idea of the surgeon being so close to my home seems reassuring but I just can't get over the price differences between overseas docs and what they are charging here. Considering the fact that I would have to take about a week off from work (or longer) which also means lost pay, it is just hard for me to justify the cost difference. I want to look more into some overseas docs but wanted to compile of list from you guys. Which docs also do shaveless FUE and use PRP? Thanks for your input. PS- I'm a Norwood 2-3

Thanks for all the advice! Why would you choose Erdogan over Maral? Have you noticed better quality results on this site?

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.
