Dr Freitas is €3.50 for first 1000 grafts and then €2.50 thereafter, is that within your budget ? 

Hi, 

After your advice I contact Dr. De Freitas and I receive email from his clinic, the Dr evaluate 3000 grafts same as Dr Bisanga which is less then Dr BF that evaluate 3500-3700 I’m really considering Dr BF base on recommendation here in the forum. But don’t understand why there is a different on graft amount between the doctors something that I need to pay attention or reconsider the Dr ? 
And I asked Dr. De Freitas clinic who operate the surgery they said: The extraction is done by technicians, the implantation by the Dr is this is something that gives Dr. BF advantage over Dr. De Freitas since he does the extraction and the implication by himself?

You realize without stopping androgens from attacking your hair follicles you're going to continue to lose hair behind any transplant you get. In fact the transplanted hair is more likely to be affected by androgenic alopecia and could possibly fall out as well over time. If you haven't even tried finasteride or any anti androgen whether it's oral or topical you should think very seriously about doing so before even contemplating a transplant. 

I talked with Dr B.F he will not preform a surgery without taking finasteride 1mg 3 times a week for at least 4 months prior surgery, I would deeply research and let’s  see maybe I will change my mind. 
Do you think guys any doctor recommend the same ? I’m thinking to get couple consultations from other Dr and maybe try to avoid the medication .

Personally I would lean more towards Dr BF, purely based on the fact that I have seen a higher volume of decent patient posted results in the last year - however that’s not say there aren’t any Pekiner ones, I just haven’t came across them on the forums I’m active on. 

Beside here in the forum I couldn’t find a lot of information about Dr B.F even there isn’t much before and after photos in his social media networks or online in other forums. 
This is what makes me a little hesitate. 

I think I will save some more money and focus on Dr. B.F and Pekiner if there is any difference/preference between one to another?

So you've experienced side effects or you're scared of them? 

I didn’t try any medicine, and prefer not to

Keep saving until you can afford the Dr you want to visit (within a budget that is of reason to your circumstances) - whether that be an extra few months of putting money aside, or even a year. 

You’ve lost a bit for 31, but the rest of your hair doesn’t look like it’s been affected by MPB at all going off your pics - however that is not to say that it will stay like that, most likely it won’t. However your hair calibre is strong, and your beard is dense - so you’re not in a bad place at all. Your pattern of loss and hair thickness reminds me somewhat of @lukeyb1687 - although I’m not suggesting you visit the surgeon he went to, just more of an observation of what could be achieved. 
 

For your case, I’d be favouring one of the decent European FUE surgeons, potentially in spain of Portugal, as your hair type appears similar to those of Mediterranean descent, in which they obviously have a lot more experience on working with  -

Dr BF, Dr De Freitas, Dr Lorenzo,

Dr Pinto - I’ve seen a few good cases and heard good things, however know less of him than the others 

Dr Bisanga, Dr Feriduni, Dr Mwamba, 

 

Thanks for your advice I just looked at @lukeyb1687 results looks very good why you don’t suggesting his surgeon?

Even Dr B.F is a little out of my budget, this is why I was thinking looking into Dr. Bicer.
I’m little confused 😊

Your considering some really good Drs. I would agree that Dr B.F would be a good choice for you. Did you also consider De Freitas ? 

I didn’t hear about Dr. Freitas can you please give some more information and if he at the level as Dr B.F and Pekiner 

Thanks

Why are you not on medical therapy for hair loss? Your pattern is aggressive for only 31 years old. Without medication your androgenic alopecia will continue behind the transplanted area and look very strange when you lose more hair.  Your list of surgeons is very good so it seems you're doing diligent research but considering stabilizing your hair loss before proceeding with a restoration. 

I prefer not to take it right now because of the side effects. 

Hello

I’m 31 yo not taking and medication or doing treatment for hair loss. I’m   Looking for a while to do my HT but I need help to make a decision I was consulted with Dr. Bruno Ferreira and Dr. Pekiner representatives both surgeons evaluate 3500 grafts . I have seeing few good reviews in this forum also about Dr. Bicer and I’m thinking to contact her clinic as well and open for any other surgeons suggestions for my case . 
I consulted with 2 other clinics Eugenix and Bisanga they evaluate 2500-3000 grafts would like to hear your opinion on the grafts number. Bisanga not an option out of my budget and Eugenix prefer not to travel to India for now so both not on my list anymore. 

I appreciate your help
