So I will be having a transplant in the next few months. After years of consideration, I might add.
I am 26 and the only member of my family that has gone bald is my grandfather on my mothers side who seems to be a Norwood 4 which is good in terms of transplants.
I lost my hair over extreme stress from the ages of 19-23 and since then I have looked terrible. I am norwood 3 and have stopped balding since 23. I have always been afraid of meds but I am starting finisteride this month.
To put it simply, hair loss has completely ruined my life. I don't leave the house due to this and it was the breaking point for my girlfriend who left me. I even made my excuses to one of my best friends to not see them before they left to another country who may not ever return.
I am a short guy with a baby face and have a massive recede on one side of my head(how is this?) and partial receding on the other. I would not look right with a shaved head due to my height and looks.
Basically due to my age and lack of hair loss in the family I want to have a 2000 or so graft hair transplant and keep going with smaller procedures if needed to lessen stress on my temples.
I have looked at a lot of surgeons and my shortlist has come up with a few ethical hands on surgeons.
I am between Dr Keser, Demirsoy(Very cheap but great results) and Dr Oztan of HLC.
Being young, Erdogan is not an option. His approach is unethical in my opinion. No planning for the future in his patients, he dense packs everything.
Keser does everything himself which is impressive.
Saifis results speak for themselves and so do Demirsoy.
And Dr Oztan is like a slightly larger operating version of Keser.
Of these doctors what would you pick? All are very ethical and fair in their approach. Saifi was my favourite but searching further they are all accomplished surgeons. I must say also that I am open to FUT if anyone has suggestions to other surgeons as I have always had longer hair.
Also, I wanted to start a seperate thread but I don't want to clog up the forum but I am super interested in is IOHair too. Apparently Erdogans old technicians have set this up? Has anyone heard any rumblings/seen results from their clinic? They offer the long haired fue, and if they genuinely can pull that off they must be very talented.
