Thanks for the responses, I'll check them out and post in case I make any decision. Btw @J-C, did you have time to see the photos? Would love to get your opinion as well, cheers.

Thank you everyone for the replies, I'm happy to get this much information and feedback! - Back when I was younger, I used to have the occasional ED, probably due to anxiety. That is pretty much solved with nofap, though I wouldn't really like risking that again. So I guess, my past issues do tell me that I may be prone to issues down there. I'll also have a wedding in August, so have to think of the children 😅 My hairloss started at 16, and is pretty much at the same level where my father and both grandfathers are. All three of them are diffuse thinners, around NW5 and NW6. How likely is for me to progress beyond my ancestors? I thought my hairloss is pretty much stable, that's why I was willing to risk it, but if you think it could get worse, then perhaps not doing an HT so I can shave without scars might be a better option. Replies: I got rejected at Lorenzo and Pinto. Ferreira never replied back, either denied or maybe too busy. I did email Bicer, was told I'm a good candidate at that clinic. 3800 grafts first session for the front, then second session some time later for the crown. Done, posted the pics! Thanks! The problem is, I have had past ED issues, and don't want to aggravate them again (and have a wedding in August). Plus I may need to have an orthopedic surgery some time later, and it's probably not good to risk experimenting before that. Thanks for the info... Perhaps I may change my mind on fin, though probably not this year, or at least not before December since I have a few things to sort out. Though I'm not really looking for perfect hair. Even Biden, I think he looks OK for his age. Do you think if I'm older/balder, then the surgery would be easier to manage without medication? Done! Thanks for the message, I posted some photos. I guess I'm not really looking for perfect hair like these football players. I just wanted the front to be slightly stronger so I can keep my hair longer, and perhaps something on the crown so it isn't completely bald, just thinned out. Would I be of lesser risk once I'm older and balder? I kind of feel like between choosing a risky/bad HT, or getting symptoms from fin 😅 Maybe I can just shave it off in a few years, and not risk having scars on the back of my head.

I just got rejected from another EU doctor due to being in my 30s, NW5/6 and not using medication (fin/minoxidil or dut). Got told that if I get the HT, the effect would be minimal and not lasting, and it's not worth it financially. On the other hand, doctors in Turkey did seem eager to operate, so I'm not sure who to listen to? Do any NW5/6 have successful HTs without medicine?

Hi, I'm a long time (5+ years) lurker and first time asking a question! I'm thinking of having a hair transplant this or the next year. I've decided upon a few doctors from reading this forum, but I have no idea whether they are in a similar quality and price range. The doctors I'm thinking about are Dr Pinto, Dr Feriduni, Dr Freitas and Dr Ferreira. I tried to contact Dr Juan Couto, but they said they are full and don't accept any new reservations (or maybe they do only from football players). If it helps, I'm 33 years old, NW5 and have no previous transplants. Hair loss started in high school, and it has been slowing down every year. Thanks!
