I went for a consultation with him, his prices were reasonable but I got nothing nice to say other than that... Let me just say he could be a great doctor with great results, I can’t speak on that because I didn’t go with him. He was pretty nice but seemed sleepy and kept taking these long random pauses. His clinic seemed small and I didn’t leave full of confidence. he said the max they could do in one day is 3000-3500 grafts.

Based on the assessment of your donor area being as follows: 14cm x 4 cm =56 10cm x 5cm x 2cm =100 Total area of donor = 156 cm2 Total donor area 156 x 70 grafts (average of grafts in donor area in your case) = 17,920 grafts 17,920 divided by 1/3 = 5,973 follicles for your lifetime. i requested the measurements and that’s what they sent me by email. Not sure if this is a stupid question but what if you Take more than the safe number of grafts from your donor area and later either cover with smp or fue using body hair? I know it seems like a lot of work/desperation, but I’d rather have hair on the top of my head...

I was told at a dr Rahal consultation that i have about 6000 grafts in my donor area which can safely be used without damaging the area. Also told I’m on my way to Norwood 7 and have diffuse thinning. They don’t use body hair so i wouldn’t get desired results long term. i think I have pretty realistic expectations for first hair transplant I want about 4000-4500 using around 1000 beard and chest grafts and get good coverage for hairline and midscalp (around ear). I plan on going for a second a year later for another 3000+ to get coverage on crown. Based on conversations I’ve had with clinics in Canada and Turkey, if i use body hair, I’ll have enough for these 2 HT possibly a third small one years down the line.

Do you recommend I ask them to only place grafts on hairline and up to midscalp? So I wouldn’t touch the crown for the first transplant and continue using fibers to blend it in?

I really appreciate the feedback from you guys. I do not plan on lowering my hairline, I’m hoping that with 2 transplants and the use of beard/body hair i would be able to get close to 8000’grafts which I assume is what I’ll need for decent coverage throughout?

Thanks for the feedback guys, right now fin is not an option as the wife and I will be trying for a baby soon. I hope around 4000 is enough for hairline up to midscalp. It all seems overwhelming and to be honest i can’t picture myself with a good head of hair again for some reason. But I’m booked for Turkey in 3 weeks so I’m hoping for the best.

Heading over to Turkey soon, how many grafts will be enough for good coverage throughout after first HT? I use minoxidil but I know i will eventually lose most of my native hairs and need a second transplant.

That’s why I’m currently booked to go with dr. cinik, Rahul is way too expensive and they only take easy cases.

Hey guys, new to this site, I’ve been looking at clinics in Turkey but I recently found a clinic near Toronto with very reasonable prices. The clinic is aesthetic secrets and the dr. Is Ahmad Hassanpour. i couldn’t find much info on either one, any suggestions?
