Hi guys,
I have been lurking on this website for abour 1.5years now. I am 23 year old male. I have been suffering from Hairloss for about 3years now. This took a huge hit on my self-esteem and I have been trying everything I can to have some regrowth and maintain what I have now. I have diffused thinning all over the top. Under sunlight, my scalp is very visible...I always worry about my hair going outside. I started using 1.25mg finastride about 8months ago and I have been using nizoral and minoxidil (foam 5% from costco) for a year and half. I know I am young but I have decided to go for a HT. I have contacted Dr.Rahal, Dr. Erdogan, Dr. Doganay, Dr. Feller, Dr.Cooley, Dr. Epstein, and few others. Basically two doctors told me to wait couple more years before the procedure and 4 of the doctors I have contacted told me I was a suitable candidate. Of all the doctors I have decided to go to Dr. Doganay in Turkey. I have been reading and looking at his results and patient experiences for past 2 months. He recommended 2500 graft for my frontal and mid scalp area.
I do not want to live my prime age worrying about my hair... which is a big factor why I have decided to get a HT done.
I did my research and I still am in the process of it. BUT I would still appreciate any advises you guys can share with me. I chose Dr. Doganay due to his results and his affordable price.
Lastly, I understand that Turkey is not exactly the safest country to visit at the moment. What do you guys think? I am probably being paranoid but since I will be going to a forigne country, I would like this opinion as well.
Thank you for reading, I REALLY would appreciate any suggestions/comments.
