Thanks for your feedback. For the crown, I have been on finasteride and minoxidil for more than 10 years now; I don’t think it will improve any further, so, why not transplant it? Thanks -

Hi Ian, Thank you for your detailed feedback; appreciated. I have reviewed some of the results of Dr. Bisanga and they are truly impressive. Your case is also very impressive. I am currently in Dubai, UAE, so travelling to Europe is not an issue (6-7 hours flights depending on the country). I have submitted a consultation form to Dr. Bisanga on this website (the hair restoration network) along with the pictures, history, etc. So, not sure if that’s the best way to get an assessment of my case, or should I submit elsewhere? Thanks, Geo -

Thank you. For the crown, how many grafts do you think are required? For the frontal zone, is the 1,500-1,700 estimate including the temples? -

Dr. Freitas does unbelievable hairlines; top notch. Dr Couto is a magician from the results I have seen. I will definitely keep trying with him. -

Yes, I think you’re right, but the good thing is that mu hair loss has mostly stabilized for several years now, so seems the medication is working. Plus, it seems in the family, father’s side, most don’t seem to to bald, but thin over time. -

Thanks for the feedback. I’ll ask the short listed doctors if I should switch to Dutasteride and microneedling. And, probably by the time I book the appointment, etc, it’ll be already 1 year, so I can go all in one trip. -

Thanks; yes, you’re right, maybe 1,500 for the crown. Well, I think it would’ve been worse without the minoxidil and finasteride. At least, it is stabilized now for several years. -

Attached is a direct picture. I think the placement of the hairline is fine and not aggressive (7 cm from lowest point of hairline until the eyebrow). I am no expert, but I think the surgeon may end up removing some of the doubles from the hairline, redraw the hairline with singles to make it “wavy” instead of straight, and fill the area behind it (the frontal third). Sounds reasonable? Thanks for the recommendations. I will check them out. -

Thank you. I prefer not to go to the US due the distance. I think Europe has some excellent options. -

Thanks. Yes, I am on Regaine 5% (oral minoxidil) 2x per day, Propecia (1mg finasteride) 1x per day, Biotin 1x pill per day, and I use Vichey Dercos Shampoo. My surgery was 9 years ago. Budget is not an issue at all. I am looking for a top-class, 5-stars results from a top surgeon. -

Hi, Thank you for the additional recommendations. Budget is not an issue at all. I am looking for a top class, 5-star result. I forgot the name of the doctor, but it was a chain of hair transplant clinics, which I would prefer not to put the name here, as it may reflect poorly on them. Yes, the growth is fine, but the density is poor. However, the dense area behind the hairline that you see in the picture is my native hair. The transplanted area is only the hairline. Thanks
