While im unfamiliar with either clinic, id say there are massive issues with both. How many patient verified results have you seen from either clinic? If you are nearby why not go in for a consultation with the doctor for a life changing procedure rather than rely on photos?
For the first clinic, while I admire the fact a clinic is offering a free second surgery for corrections, that also sounds extremely vague to me. How would they verify something was a "correction" and not your fault? If its a case of poor growth they could just as easily blame you wearing your hat on your grafts or something else. I'd want a lot more information before proceeding. It's pretty standard to offer follow ups as well.
For the 2nd clinic, 3500-7000 grafts is astounding vague (so much so I'd be terrified of proceeding with them). For most patients thats the entire donor supply - it sounds like they want to harvest everything you have just for one operation. You only have 1 donor supply and you dont want to waste it.
As you were after advice Id start off by saying PLEASE do not limit your choices just to the nearest clinic, nor let the cost of these clinic dictate your approach. Each HT candidate is different, has different needs, different goals so just going by what you posted is difficult to analyse. This is a serious procedure.
Would you be comfortable sharing any photos here and maybe myself and others could give you some advice?
Everything you've mentioned is what brought me to this group! My issue was i couldn't find any information on the Dr that would be doing it, other than a new other hair places that had his name attributed to it that had some good results but there was nothing substantial. I also was skeptical, as i got the 10k valuation first, could only do online consolation but seemed very professional whilst the second that quoted me 4k, it was a zoom call and he was on his phone walking about what looked like an empty office and i didn't get the same vibe. Additionally, when he sent me through more information he kept emailing me and asking what my thoughts were and it put me off and i couldn't work out how they could establish if i'd decided to wear a hat or not and caused damage, which made me think they'd perhaps find a way to blame me and i'd have to pay for a second surgery.
It's something i've thought about for a long time, i'm getting married next year so i thought i'd quite like to have better hair for it but at same time the more i read into it part of me feels is it a money and time saver to opt for something like scalp micropigmentation instead etc.
Sure, i'll attach some photos!

Hi all, was linked here from reddit and would appreciate any help. So I'm on verge of putting down my deposit for my first hair transplant. But a few things holding me back, so looking for advice or whatever you can give me
I spoke to 2 clinics both located in nearest to me (glasgow and Edinburgh) and for same procedure, both quoted me different amounts. For Giga plus FUE between 3500-7000 grafts I was quoted
1. £4000 Glasgow hair clinic done by Dr Pantelis Valvis. This also covers a free second surgery if needed as well as 3 follow ups at 3, 6 and 12 months. Any corrections are free provided it's not my fault. Aka putting hats on before grafts have settled etc etc.
2. £10000 DHI
This is there costing
"Thank you for the clear photographs. I have assessed your case with the medical team, please see summary of your diagnosis below:
Our recommendation to meet your needs and expectations would be a DHI Giga Session aiming to extract the maximum possible number of hairs in order to achieve the maximum possible growth and we will be focusing on your B (top) and C zone (crown).
The cost of your treatment will be £10000 and it is a two-day session. You will have a full shaven haircut for the procedure which will be done on the day.
Dates we have available for
Theatre Fees.
Hair Transplant Consultation Fee.
Hair Transplant Fee.
DHI Instruments.
All evaluation appointments for the next 12 months after session"
So I'm skeptical as I don't know if the first clinic is massively under charging me and I'm going to get bad results or the second one is over charging me.
Additionally, I'm worried I pay 4k and it turns out to be weird looking and I end up shaving it off and it's the most expensive skin head ever. So any stories of success or failure appreciated!
