So I received the initial email from Dr. Freitas with estimated number of grafts, etc.  but I’d really like to talk with someone who has used him recently to see what next steps of the process looked like and what to expect. Any takers or should I just PM a bunch that I see who have done reviews?

I see someone like Dr Freitas being perfect for you. Or one of the other elite European options. I mention Dr Freitas as his hairlines are pretty much some of the best anywhere worldwide. 

Thanks JC. I filled out a consultation form for Dr. Freitas today. What other elite European options are you referring to?

I would say you appear to have really good hair for 44 ! Could you show us a pic of your donor area ? Thanks 🙏 

Thanks JC!  I have been blessed to have hair this thick for this long for sure.  But I could still use a confidence boost that I think FUE would provide if you know what I'm saying! 🙂  Here's a couple of the back of my head.

Thanks in advance for any help gents!  Basically I'm in the research phase of trying to decide on a clinic and/or doctor to do FUE.  I'm 44 years old and have seen my hair progressively pull back on the sides and across the top for the past few years.  I would like to have my hairline brought back down on the sides and front, as well as possibly fill in areas prone to later recession.  The good news is I think (you guys tell me otherwise) I've got good donors for this procedure, as my hair has been notoriously thick across most of my head.  But, I've been on Dutasteride .05 for at least 2 years and I've tried Minoxidil 5% topical for 1 year consistently, and haven't had any noticeable changes, as my hairline continues to retreat.  Based on some research here and the rest of the web I had all but decided to go with Dr. Pekiner but I can't seem to find or get into contact with his clinic.  So I'm basically starting over in my search.  I don't have a preference in country and/or state.  I'm based in the U.S. (Arkansas), but will obviously travel to the Dr. I feel like can get me the best results.  Again, I'm not trying to find the cheapest clinic, but one where I feel confident I have the best chance at getting this procedure done correctly.   This forum has been amazing, and I hope to be able to document my journey from start to end for others in the same boat.  Thanks again and I look forward to reading the replies.
