Good luck! 
from a very happy client of Dr. Bicer, you choose an excellent surgeon.

 

🤗

Hey great results that’s awesome!! I’m looking into bicer as well. De Freitas and Dr. Pinto are all booked up for over a year so bicer is one of my front runners right now. I’m thinking of going with her instead of waiting for the others what do u think!?

Good choice! Bicer is easily Turkey's best right now, I feel. I think this go will get you a great hairline imo, but keep in mind you'll probably need another surgery for the crown and maybe to fill in frontal third based on the level of loss. Diffuse thinning is a pain in the ass but you did good this time around man.

I noticed you said she is turkeys best but how does she compared to other top doctors in the world?

Good choice they are top notch. Only downfall is the long flight durations we have to endure. I have 3 flights to get to Turkey in December to go with Dr Bicer. Like over 30 hours travel/stop offs lol

 

Hey curious what made you decide on bicer and what other docs you were looking at? I am looking into Dr. Bicer as well

Hey curious if there are different packages that involve mwamba more in the surgery or is he always kind of delegating different tasks?

Ditto what Ricky said, there are 2 top docs worth seeing in Turkey, Erdogan and Keser. I wouldn't let any other docs there near my scalp.

Dr.bicer?

Ahh gotcha I appreciate it good to know. I’m considering going here as couto de Freitas pinto and ferreira are all booked out till 2024. Can’t even get a consultation with 3 of them until then

From what I have seen excellent. Soft singles in the hairline, achieving great density with minimal grafts etc. But crown many clinics struggle with that is why I pointed it out.

 

Do you think the other ones are worth waiting for or do you think Dr. Ahmad is on par with them and I should consider booking with him?

This is Dr Path's gallery. I recall seeings loads of before and after pics on his previous website.
https://dhthairclinic.com/review/

This is Dr Pong's gallery.
https://www.thaihairclinic.com/hair-transplant-before-after-photos/Caucasian/severe-male-pattern-baldness-Norwood-6-and-7

I'm not someone who follows the crowd. I use my senses and about 8 years ago I realized that Dr Pong's patients all have that similar weave like looking hair after the new hair has grown following the transplant. Hence I didn't want to go ahead with Dr Pong and was lurking on this forum every now and then to see if there's any new Dr whose work I would be impressed with. Then I came across BEQ clinic on youtube and there had like a miilion views for that clip.

And then i went on their facebook page but apart from that I cannot find any reviews of them at all. I did contact the clinic and they asked me to see them for a hair diagnosis. 

But @Melvin- Moderator recently made a good point on one of my posts where he said that the clinic is an unknown. So I'm guessing it's not recognised by the hair transplant association? Whats the name of this higher authority that recognises which doctor and which practice is legit? 

I get what you mean cos whenever anyone mentions Thailand and HT in the same sentence, the top 2 names would be Dr Path and Dr Pong. Dr Kongkiat Laorwong is a close third. so yeah. 

Right on thanks for your explanation I appreciate it! I just looked over the before and afters I do see why your saying. And yea path seems to be good. 
 

I will definitely check out the place you had your surgery from!

yea good point about the clinic you went to not being recognized probably why they are underrated

@Iceee222 the surgeon you choose should be dictated by having a large body of work on patients who have the same hair loss as you with results that you are aiming for. Thailand does have two good surgeons. However once your up in the air you really may as well go to who you feel is the surgeon who best meets your hair loss needs. All the best! 

Hey thanks for the reply I appreciate it good advice. So I’ve been looking around and I feel like a lot of surgeons have a wide variety of cases and most have experience with my type of hair loss. If there’s any in particular that you are aware of that be great if you let me know! I was very interested in De Freitas pinto couto and ferriera but unfortunately de Freitas can’t can’t me in until February 2024 and the others cant even get me a consultation online until then. 
 

looking into Mwamba, Ahmad, heinicke, and feriduni, and devroye

Thanks for sharing, based on these, that sounds like a good conservative number. Hopefully those surgeons were all recommended? Make sure to look at their examples being sure their crystal clear, check their hairline designs, are they in keeping with the style you’re hoping to achieve?

Read the experiences of former patients. If you’re absolutely confident with more than one surgeon, then you can start factoring in costs and travel.

that’s my two cents.

I’m New Zealand based and made a big mistake by going somewhere local when the country was locked down. I should have waited.

Ok appreciate the advice thanks. Yeah they’ve all been on the recommended so far except a few docs from Europe who have received very high praises in all these posts from senior members on here  
 

wondering what docs u recommend?

On 8/19/2022 at 10:53 AM, davidn said:

I think Fuegenix has the best crown results.

What do u think of the hairline and mid scalp results?

Looking into this doc wondering if you had any updates?

There is no best surgeon overall, the is only the best for your specific case.

Ove elite surgeon may suggest a very different approach from another. You can share more detail and photos of your starting point if you want some input.

Youll want to hear as many credible perspectives as possible.

Thanks for the reply. I’ve hit up many surgeons and that all seem to recommend 25-2800 grafts with the majority to hairline and front of scalp. They said possibly fill in mid scalp but easier to tell in person. I seem happy w that as I will for sure have more grafts in future if I need hair transplant. I want to be on the conservative side. My pics are below. If you think u know someone who would be great for me that’d be awesome. Im 25 been on fin and min topically for 3 years now.

I doubt it. Anyone that good is definitely few and perhaps very underspoken at times. But the ones that we do know of are highly sought for and for very good reason.

Laorwang was $4000 for 2000 grafts which he said I needed. Patty had a special $2650 (95000 baht) for 2500 grafts. Judging by all the other hair transplants I've seen. I felt I needed 2500 rather than 2000 grafts. Plus it was cheaper and she seemed great. So it was a no brainer to me

Right on thx man!

19 minutes ago, Jpaw said:

I only compared Laorwang and patty. And after meeting at hairtran I didn't see the need to look at other doctors I guess. I don't know anything about Dr path, I just looked him up and his before and after pictures look pretty good

Ok sweet thx. Was price the final decision between laorwang and patty or did u like patty’s work better ?

On 5/26/2022 at 6:38 AM, JPCF said:

yeah, I know, but I just decided with Dr.Pinto, and when you put something in your mind is hard to take it back. Plus, I'm portuguese and I live in Portugal so I thought it would be easier to go with Pinto or Ferreira, but Ferreira is out of the equation budget wise.

How much more per graft is Ferreira than the other two?

1 minute ago, Jpaw said:

I don't know 

Haha ok. Just wondering cuz he seems to be considered the best there. What do u think of him and his work? (if u did any research on him)

On 9/21/2022 at 2:17 AM, Corbyn said:

Thanks for the reply. I'm glad you mentioned about small zigzags cos yes, they do end up looking more natural. Dr Pong's patients from THT Clinic all seem to have the same hair after their HT. It looks like a weave and all of them comb their hair side parting. I have seen Dr Laorwong's name here and elsewhere. I'll probably have to search for more info on him and his work online. 

You mentioned Dr. pong is Dr. Paths pupil. Do Dr. paths operations look like Dr. Pongs operations when that are done? Like the weave u mentioned?

On 7/31/2022 at 7:18 PM, Jpaw said:

Dr Laorwang was my other choice as well. He quoted me 2000 grafts for $4000. Dr pattys deal is 2500 grafts for about $2600. I felt like I needed 2500 grafts, and the price was cheaper anyways. 

I believe Thai baht cash, cc, wire transfer. I had to use two cards tho due to limits on my card/bank.

Yes they use DHI, with a WAW punch machine for extraction. The back of my head looked better than most people's after a day.

The consult was good, they drew on potential hairlines and talked about the process. I really trusted them after meeting them. I'm sure Dr Laorwang is great also. If you're in Thailand maybe give them both an in person consultation.  

My donor was good. They never mentioned it's great or anything. It was it's typical white guy donor I'd say.

No problemo

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hey wondering y u didn’t consider or look at Pathomvanich?

On 9/15/2022 at 3:38 AM, BurnieBurns said:

In my opinion it's madness to to limit yourself to surgeons location near geographically, especially as the cost of flights aren't necessarily much more for further away. Not that there's anything wrong with the two Thai doctors mentioned but you really want to consult with more that a couple of doctors (even recommended ones) before making your decision

Hey thanks for your reply. I have been looking around and a few new doctors have come to mind for me. Do you have any recommendations I should look into?

after reviewing other docs I still am impressed with the 2 tai doctors as you seem to be too?

Just had my online consultation with de Freitas and was excited about it. As I saw he was getting good reviews and on the recommended list on here.  However I am bummed to hear that he won’t be available until February 2024. 
 

do people mind sharing other surgeons they recommend/had good experience with/are well respected due to track record. I will keep looking at the recommended list in here but I like having discussions as well. 
 

Thanks!!

I'm not from that part of the world, but nothing was more helpful for me in making my decision on which Dr. to go with than looking at patient provided pictures of their results.

Appreciate it thanks. Who did you end up going with?

Hi Ice,

Have you been able to stabilise your hairloss yet and are you still using topical medication or have you tried oral?

I'm also in Australia but am trying to stabilise my hair loss with medication before pulling the trigger on a hair transplant.

If I do go down the hair transplant route it's highly unlikely I'll do it in (or near) Australia. The procedure is too important to be influenced by the cost of flights.

I have been able to w topical fin and min. Where are u looking into? 
 

Both Thailand docs are on the recommended list on here. Seems to me they are well trusted and respected.
