Reerp

Seeing Dr tomorrow for a check-up and not sure how I feel about this one. Any comments, thoughts that I could share with the Dr would be much appreciated

PS How many grafts you reckon this is? (Was told ~3k) 

Hi,

I am 33years old, Norwood Scale 2a and am considering doing a hair transplant.

I went to a local hair clinic for a consultation in a secondary city in Spain. The Doctor was a very young lady from Honduras who said she has been doing operations for pretty much each working day for the past 2-4 years.

The price quoted was just under €3000 for a FUE hair transplant for the maximum number of "Real" FUEs and I was told that with ~2700-3000grafts we could achieve a natural hairline and density.

My question to the community is what would define a good surgeon and how difficult it would be to "screw up" an operation? And what would determine an operation unsuccessful?

The reason I am asking is because I am trying to balance the pros and cons of doing it at this clinic.

Pros: It's nearby and the timing is ideal as they have availability in a few weeks and I could recover at home as I am still working from home currently.

Cons: I somehow didn't feel too much at ease with the young doctor but I don't know if it's just me being judgemental of her age/experience.

If a hair transplant is a pretty routine and not difficult then I am willing to give it a shot. But if it isn't, then I might want to wait to do one in Turkey or elsewhere once travel restrictions ease and possible again. However the timing would be less ideal as I might need to go to the office again.

Any input/insights would be great! Thank all in advance
