Hi, I am 32 years old. My hair loss started 2 years ago. In the last time the speed of loss increased, unfortunately. I did not take any medication so far. I have several questions and the answers to my question in my other thread were good, thanks for this again, so I think it is a good idea to ask them here. Disclaimer: I am aware that my case is not the worst. That there are some people who would be happy if they have what I have. However, for me this is a severe problem. Reason is that people see it and it was different a short time ago. So like 1 year ago my hairline was way better and for these people it is really a significant visual difference. It disturbs me quite a lot and I definitely want to have it fixed / get rid of it. So please don't answer that my loss is not that severe and I shouldn't worry and just ignore it. (That is also why I am very ok with going for a hair transplant. I contacted some clinics and they estimated more or less around 2.000-2.500 grafts to be needed). Furthermore as you can see it will very likely progress in the future. So it just started. I did not take any medication so far. Especially I did not take finasterid. Reason is that I am unsecure about the side effects. Like loss of sexual ability, depression. Of course, I would like to avoid them as any other person. I cannot say if I would be affected, because I haven't taken it yet. But actually I wouldn't like to test it and then see that I have these side effects and then I have problems to get rid of them, even if I stop taking it. I have no problems with having a second ht in the future. At the moment the hair loss is mostly in the hairline. I have a small loss starting at the crown / top, but it is not severe (but it likely will increase in the future). My donor area is super. Lot's of hair available at the back and in the sides. Questions: 1. If I had a hair transplant and have my frontline corrected and the complete front area supported: These hair will never fall out again, even if there is inheriated hair loss in other regions. Or does a ht just fix it for a moment and if I do not take any medication the frontline will be destroyed again? 2. As far as I can see and as a result of my research, I would actually be a quite good candidate for finasterid. Is this correct? 3. Should I take just finasterid or take something else instead or finasterid and additionally other things? 4. If I decided to go for a ht, does this ht definitely mean that I also have to take medication (finasterid), even if just for a certain time after the surgery, because without medication a ht would not make any sense? Or can I got for an ht and not take any medication? (As far as I know this would be possible, see question 1. That means I correct my frontline with an ht and this will stay in the future, however the hair loss will continue in other areas and I will have to go for another ht in the future. But that would be ok for me. However, if my frontline would be affected by future hair loss that somehow means that I definitely have to take some medication.) 5. If I take finasterid, will it just stop my hair loss or will the hairs in the frontline and temples actually "come back" again? I don't think so, right? So it will actually just save the current state (yes I know, then I should have taken finasterid already earlier). Thanks for any help!

Ok... but I don't get it, I thought he would be a good choice, it's just a long time waiting?

Sorry, I meant Ferreira, Bruno Ferreira. I cannot find him?

Two questions Why is Freitas, Clinica de Freitas actually not shown in the map? No reviews so far? Also regarding Freitas: It is not said that I am treated by de Freitas personally, it could also be Dr. Carlos Eduardo Vieira. But he is also good?

True, but actually it developed the last 2 years, so not that long and I really hate how it is now. So I want to actually have a "quick-fix". Although quick does not mean low quality. But sure, I likely have to accept waiting.

Thanks for your quick answers so far! Ok, I see. Yes, I was afraid that they are overbooked and I wasn't sure if it is a good choice, even if I would get an appointment on the very long run, because I am not sure if they really treat me well and take their time then. This is actually what I was afraid of considering Turkey... I should have said that I am from EU and want to do it in EU (includes Turkey). So H+W is not an option, as they are in the US, as far as I know. That also excludes Eugenix, travelling to India is not really an option for me. Mh, now I am not sure what to do or where to go. I think only HLC would then probably offer me an appoitnment in the close future. But as you said Turkey would not be the first start. However, if these two from Portugal/Spain are basically also not an option, because yes, no answer and long waiting list, I am a bit lost now...

Hi, I am 32 years old and would like to have my first HT. So far I thought about going to Turkey and have it done there. As I have heard that they have quite some experience in doing these surgeries. I am ready to travel, so this is not a a problem. The money is not important for me. The result is what matters. So far I thought about the following two: Medical Exclusive Instanbul HLC Ankara however, I was not sure for which I should go? What is the better option? Also I am not limited to Turkey. I also read about Freitas, Clinica de Freitas, Valencia Spain Ferreira, Bruno Ferreira, Porto Portugal I am not that much into the topic, so I cannot say for myself which doctor/clinic would deliver the best result. So maybe someone here can give me an advice and tell me which doctor/clinic is the best? Thanks for any help.
