As Melvin said FUT + FUE is extremely good route if you don't mind linear scar and whatever comes along with it. There's certainly + & -.

Don't rush and do your research!

Thanks, I've got analysis from doctor Ferreira, he suggested a few things. One of which taking finasteride for at least 6 months or indefinitely, and re-evauating in 6 months. Have you had side effects using finasteride?

Keser is known to use less grafts and acheive great results, look at the post below, he doesnt promote himself but he is the most expensive doctor in Turkey for a reason.

 

Thanks, I've seen this post. That's why I was considering him at first. Let's see what Hasson and Wong and Ferreira say. I'll keep you guys updated. I tried applying to Hattingen Dr. Muresanu but the website says my picture files are too big. So I'll skip that for now. I'm considering the doctor mentioned in India by Melvin too.

Just put in a request in Hasson and Wrong, blimey they are super expensive. Let's see how many grafts they say. If I can't go ahead with them I'll the next best depending on the price.

But I want to thank all of you for the suggestions, as I didn't find any of these doctors mentioned above, during my search. At first looking at the reviews of Vera Clinics, I booked a flight, Visa and transport. But couldn't find my passport on the last day. Dodged a bullet.

This is night photo, right under different room lighting. My earlier pictures were the worst, as I just woke up either are under strong light or facing window with sunshine

For FUT, yes Hasson & Wong have been showing more succesful cases over the years than any clinic in UK. That is a fact. 

How about FUE or both?

Btw I've sent my request to Dr Ferreira, let's see what he says tomorrow.

Given this climate, and the fact that travel is out of the question, why wouldn't you look at some local surgeons? FUE is not scarless, you can easily hide an FUT scar with the length of your hair. Overall, it's cheaper and more efficient, and you get the most out of your donor supply. 

I'm willing to wait for the travel to open even if it's a year. I could save up a bit more, would you say that the doctors in the UK results are as good as hasson and wong ?

Thanks, my only concerns with FUT is the marks left for rest of life. And I haven't looked at surgeons in the UK yet as I thought they will cost more for the same procedure/quality in different country.

But after your suggestion will take a look.

Magnifying glasses are not the same as microscopes. 

Are you on meds? You have a lot of miniaturization. Are you planning on restoring the hairline, lower the hairline? Where do you live? 

Hi thanks for your reply, yes I'm only taking 200mg anti depressants. I'm looking to restore hairline. I'm from the UK. I'm I right to think what you said about Dr Wong won't accept this or he'll do a great job? Sorry I'm new to this what do you mean by doing a large strip?

Thanks again.

This microscope thing is overblown.

All good clinics have the surgeon (and his team working on your head) using magnifying glasses.

Most good clinics have their techs inspecting the grafts under microscopes to detect sleeping multis. But some of the very best don't and still achieve great results. 

Of course all former FUT clinics use microscoped as they required them to trim the grafts after the strip. 

 

Anyway: This is not a Keser case for me: too large! 4 days surgery is not a great idea to me. 

BY the way: Donor looks thin too. You have to check this in a personal consultation first.

Thanks, I'm only on anti depressants Meds sertraline 200mg/day.

I have approached some clinics including, Dr Keser where I was quoted 2000-2500 grafts, 4 days surgery. His staff has mentioned he does use magnifying glasses, I'm not sure if it's a miss translation, where he could mean microscope. As I asked if he uses microscope, he replied yes he uses magnifying glasses.

What are your goals? You should start your own thread. Do you need a mega session with BHT? Do you need just the hairline done? 

Also, there’s a distinction between the cheapest and the best. In many regards, Dr. Konior, Hasson and Wong, Dr. Gabel, Dr. Rahal, etc, are considered the best, but obviously they will be more expensive. 

Dr. Keser, doesn’t use microscopes and a member here complained of multiples in his hairline. For that reason alone, I’d strike him off the list. 

Dr. Ferreira is good, solid, but I personally don’t think he matches up to the other names I mentioned, at least not yet. That said, I can see him becoming one of the top in due time. He still needs more patient reviews, he’s getting there though. 

So again, I would suggest posting a separate thread and include your goals, hair loss pictures and we’ll be better to answer your question. There are better surgeons for certain scenarios. 

Please see 

Hi I'm 29 year old Male, who has started to notice hair loss around 23 years old. Please see attached photos for my situation.

I'm looking to get FUE procedure done only on scalp, I could consider BHT also.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the suggestion will upload pictures, and information so I can get suggestions.

@bodrul after learning that Dr. Keser doesn’t use a microscope during his surgery I can’t recommend him anymore. 
@Melvin-Moderator is very right in advising you to refrain from traveling at this time. 
I wouldn’t book anything for 2020.

Just got a reply from Dr Keser's team that he uses magnifying glasses for surgery. I'm not if that makes a difference, as I think he does the whole surgery. Does Dr Ferreira do the whole surgery?

@Portugal25 Thanks, for your reply, really appreciate it guys.  I will avoid Dr Keser and approach Dr Ferreira for the moment, unless someone can suggest someone better.

Best option is to not travel 

@Melvin-Moderator Lol, I won't until it is safe confirmed from the government, by the time I would like to find the best available options recommended by the community in this forum.  

Thanks

Is Dr Keser or Ferreira better option?

@Portugal25 Please can you suggest the best FUE doctor would you still say Dr. Bruno Ferreira?  I have contacted some of the clinics above, I agree they are cheap for a reason.  Dr Keser gave me 6 months available date, but I won't be able to attend then as I have commitments, I suggested towards end of December or beginning January, but they told me to contact them near summer.

Thanks in advance.
