    Thank you all so much, this forum is pure gold! I had both points of you, Jean for Erdogan and Mikey for Lorenzo, wow Anyway, my apologies if with the sentence "I'd like a single transplant", I have been a bit naive! The sense was that I wouldn't like to split crown and hairline into two different surgeries, for work reasons mainly. 911fan, have you had your hairline done yet?

    Erdogan or Lorenzo, Lateral slit or Implanter? I know...it's like asking Lamborghini or Ferrari, but I've been reading this forum since 2015 and I still can't make up my mind. Short story: 37 yo. All my relatives were NW6 at 35-40 yrs. My AGA however is almost stable since I was 23 yo, due to Propecia and Minox. Two main concerns/goals: 1. Crown: slowly shedding and expanding, I have to use and abuse Toppik every day. 2. Hairline: quite unnatural already, with severe recession on the temples. I've had the same obliged haircut during the last 10 yrs, to cover the temples and crown. I've survived a cancer and just been left by my wife. I'd really like a fresh confident new start. I'd like to have a single transplant or at least avoid a new one during the next 10 yrs. KORAY - estimated 4000-4500 grafts: PROs: Agressive but well defined hairlines, huge density, megasessions, cost. CONs: Relatively lack of evidence on crown/between natives HTs (permanent shock loss reported). Sometimes funny graft directions and multi grafts in the HLs. Sometimes unethical use of the donor? LORENZO - estimated 3000-3500 grafts: PROs: Very natural hairlines with focus on hair direction, proved results on crown-natives. CONs: Sometimes lacking of density (due to the implanter size?), very conservative hairlines, many patients reported two HTs, cost (25% more). These are only my considerations and I could be completely wrong. Anyway both Doctors are THE masters of FUE, providing unbelievable results. Which is the best for my case? I need your help guys, be kind, any suggestion would be really appreciated! Please don't answer: Koray for hairline and Lorenzo for crown
