  1. Thank you Gatsby, that's very kind of you to say. I will definitely look further into this as you advise, feeling very optimistic though for the future which is such a relief!
  2. Hi Ian, Thanks for your advice on my topic, great to see your pics... very impressive results. I am very interested in Dr Bicer after seeing this! May I ask how many grafts you had? Also what were the communications like prior to the procedure? How long was it between initial contact and procedure? Many thanks!
  3. Thank you Ian, Great to hear you're happy with your results, I can only imagine what a good feeling it is to be on the other side of things. Yes there seems to be some great example of her work, I haven't seen many examples of results 12months+ but the initial results I've seen so far have looked great. Thanks for the information, thats really useful to know. I am very tempted, and it appears to be excellent value for money there.
  4. Thanks John, great to hear you think so. I will make contact, and I will be very happy to post my progress and keep you informed. I am very jealous of the pictures of those 12 months post-procedure and cannot wait to get there myself!
  5. Yes I think they may just be my first choice too. Have you made contact already or waiting until things settle down? I did wonder whether there would be any difference in a HT for different hair-types as I have very fine and straight hair compared to someone of sub-continental ethnicity; which appears to be their primary customer base.
  6. I want to be realistic about what I can achieve but yes ideally as close to full coverage as my donor area may allow!
  7. Thank you buddy. Really great to here you squeezed in your procedure. I am conscious of any venture abroad meaning having to wait longer than desired but I guess I'd rather get it done right than quickly. How would you reflect on your experience at HDC and was it easy to cancel and rearrange in the current climate?
  8. Yes, so I've been on Finasteride for what must be 10 years now. I tried Rogaine early on but I wasn't particularly good at maintaining its use. Pics attached, I took these immediately after and shower for maximum effect (hence the slick hair!) Thanks again.
  9. Hi John, Thanks for the info. I had come across Dr Arshad from the discussions here and will check out the others too... Good to know I'm perhaps on the right track. Great stuff pal.
  10. Hi guys, Just wanted to say hello as a new member here and get some advice. Firstly I just want to say how great it is to have forums such as these and such a supportive network available. I've always been so sensitive about my hair loss; I cannot yet find the courage to discuss this with anyone face to face, my wife included. I see how I have internalised my insecurities and this has led to deep unhappiness with my self-confidence. I feel great about having a platform to discuss this, so thanks to you all! So I have been losing my hair since about 20 years of age, I am now 37 and about a Norwood 5. I paid £100 for the privilege of a consultation of with the Crown Clinic in Manchester, UK who quoted me £12400 at £4 per transplant for 3100 units. This was apparently a NHS discount from their usual £5 per unit. This has led to me wrestling with the choices, I was advised that I would likely need further procedures in the future, the thought of spending £10's of thousands on myself rather than my family makes me feel incredibly guilty. It has led me to think I should maybe bite the bullet and go for the big shave; something I know I'll be very unhappy with as I have always been very proud and attached to my hair. I looked more deeply into the reviews of the aforementioned clinic and found not everyone was very impressed. Some of those discussions led me here a few days ago and I have been insatiably reading contributions since! Money is somewhat an object (albeit not completely restrictive) I have narrowed my search down to HDC in Cyprus, Eugenix in India or Dr Bicer in Turkey. I'd welcome any thoughts or advice on these places and the whole process generally before I take the next steps. Yours appreciatively,
