Hey everyone! After a lot of research through this forum and also thanks to the help of some forum members, my choices of HT are 3 surgeons, 2 in Turkey among the top recommended list and 1 in Portugal. I wanted to share with you the feedback I got from 3 surgeons. I of course sent photos from different angles showing my hair loss evaluated on a scale of NW to IV. After a few days of waiting the results came back Turkey 1: 4000 grafts with probably a 2nd operation to cover the crown. My donor area remains small. Turkey 2: 3500 to 3800 grafts, not sure if a 2nd operation would be useful Portugal and this time I appoint the surgeon Dr Bruno Pinto: the verdict is in, not a good candidate for a HT, 2 reasons for this, the first is that my donor area is not large enough to qualify for a HT. The second is that I would have DUPA, in short, a catastrophe for me. Without wishing to judge the relevance of the analysis of the 2 Turkish surgeons, perhaps they did not have enough photos or elements to be able to have the same conclusions as Dr Bruno Pinto. A frankness and an ethical approach that I can only respect in view of my request and the cost of an operation. And as his assistant said, it would have been suicidal for my donor area to do a HT. I would like to underline the professionalism and honesty of their team. Everything was said with pragmatism. Now I am faced with a big dilemma, on their advice the drug treatment remains a valid alternative and confirmed by many patients with very good results but I fear the side effects of Fin. I thought my life would change after HT...

Thanks @Gatsby I'm going to do that, I must admit that I'm a novice in this field. Is there any specific posts in this forum per Norwood scale category ?

Hello everyone, This forum has become my second bedside book because I consult it so much. My name is Franck, 51 years old. I have been suffering from androgenic alopecia for a few years, I am on a Norwood scale of 3 vertex. It's been more than 6 months since the idea of a HT came to me. The more I see the photos, the more I read your comments on this forum, the more I am convinced to take the step. I live in France but I am not at all closed to going abroad like Portugal, Spain, or even Turkey. I had a look at the various posts on valid clinics in Paris or even in France but I couldn't find anything relevant. My budget could be high in the hope of having a successful and lasting transplant. Very recently I have requested several online consultations but still waiting (Ferreira, Pinto) To avoid too much trauma I would rather consider an DHI method or at least a minimally invasive one. I am interested in any advice you have on the subject: surgeons near France or even in France Thanks for your help
