Deciding on my second
I am 38 and UK based, looking to schedule my second Hair Transplant. I had my first FUE transplant in the Summer of 2020 from the UK, which was 1400 Grafts.
I have been on the HT journey since 2017. I’ve been applying (once a day) Rogaine foam almost daily. Also taking Fin (1mg) for the last few years. Not very regular with fin it’s like on/off.
I have been looking for a second FUE for the last few months. I am getting different opinions from different clinics and this rings a bell. For the first two, I visited the clinic in person and met the doctor.
Fargo: I have been to my previous clinic/doctor, who suggested adding 1000 to 1200 grafts to the top left to cover the area. They suggested that I don’t have a strong donor and may lose more hair on both sides of my scalp in the next few years. Their cost is approx £6k for the procedure.
DHI-Global - I also visited a different clinic in London that specialises in DHI and they suggested 3000 hairs (e.g. 1500 grafts) to the top and middle part of the scalp. Ignore the Crown for now.
HairDr, suggested 2000 grafts at the top/front and 1500 for the crown area. It was a virtual call with the Patient coordinator and I did not meet with the Doc.
I have attached pictures for current state.
This is just before my first FUE.
The following are the latest pictures, after almost 3 years for the procedure.
