Thanks for your honesty Mike

Honestly at this point I’m totally okay with my crown being ignored for the time being, ideally that would be through FUE and just getting the most amount of grafts as possible to fill in the front and middle. Would Dr Bicer be a good option? Currently have the offer from them.

Currently planning on a video consult with them, face to face isn’t possible unfortunately. I am hesitant to do FUT based on what people are saying though.

Also rejected, they were also the ones who said FUT was only option

Oops, apologies, I should’ve posted that in OP. Yes, I’m on minoxidil + finasteride, have been for two years+ now and I have improved dramatically in that time. Dr. Bisanga was one that rejected me completely.

Hello everyone, I've posted previously in August last year about wanting to travel to get a hair transplant, but only recently have I started putting proper research into it due to an upcoming holiday where I was hoping to get it done in Europe. I've spoken with multiple clinics which are part of the recommended forum surgeons and so far I've had multiple different opinions 1. Not a suitable canditate with the minaturising of hair above my ears and on my nape = not enough donor area with an estimation of 5000~ grafts needed 2. FUT is only possible option for me 3. An estimation ~4000-5000 grafts, and while they didn't think there was enough donor area, due to same reasons as above, for that amount, still willing to do the surgery if we only focused on the frontal region first and may need to ignore crown 4. An estimation of 2500-3000 grafts with an FUE operation, no issues with donor area Now I understand and see the minaturising of hair above my ears + on my nape, but when I compare my photos to others, the estimation of 4000~+ feels excessive but I could be wrong which is why I'm here. I don't want to have surgery at a clinic that doesn't have my best interests and only wants my money which I'm worried could be the case with the clinic(s)' estimations being only ~3000 compared to others. The clinic who has quoted me the ~3000 does have amazing reviews and seems to be one of the more recommended ones so that does keep my mind a little at ease but I am still quite worried about my situation. I'll post some current photos for reference. Feel free to look at my previous topic to compare differences in ~6 months. Is there any clinics or doctors in Europe that specialise in high norwood levels like mine? I know some people don't recommend FUT but if it is my only option, does anyone know of any recommended doctors for that procedure in Europe as well? Thanks.

Hello, thanks for your reply I've uploaded a few more photos in my message above this if you wanted to have a look, I'd love a one on one doctor session as well as more information about cost etc, hopefully the photos help with the latter, feel free to DM me

Thankyou for your very detailed reply, I really do appreciate it. I must say I wasn't expecting anywhere near that amount of grafts but I know that was only off the one photo, so I've taken a few more as you've requested, keep in mind these were taken in extremely harsh lighting (also that dead bit of hair on the back of my head I've always had)

From the looks of the replies in here, maybe my 10k estimate was a little naive, I have the money to extend my budget a bit further, that was just a rough number. Any idea of what number I'd be looking at including everything?

From what I've read the quality is still high in those countries, specifically India, correct?

Hey everyone, I'm a 24 year old male from Australia interested in getting a HT done, I've been on Minoxidil and Finasteride for about two years now and while I've seen definite improvement, there's still more room for it. I know getting the procedure done in Australia is nowhere near the quality as it would be travelling overseas, not to mention the price, so that's what I'm willing to do, but I'm feeling extremely overwhelmed seeing all the recommended options from India to Turkey to Belgium. I'm hoping someone can give me a bit of guidance, money isn't a huge issue but I wouldn't want to be spending more than 10k and even that's a stretch, maybe I'm too optimistic. I've attatched a photo of how my hair currently looks so you can get a gauge on my NW scale and how many grafts you may think I need (I believe my donor area is quite strong also). Thanks everyone! 😊
