Thanks Oh wow.. Dr Kostis told me he never heard of anyone having side effects from oral minoxidil. I also don’t like the idea of taking any not necessary medications for my whole life. Even though I don’t face any side effects now, you never know about the long term disadvantages. This is the only reason why I am not sure about doing a HT at the moment. Topical minoxidil or even topical Finasterid would be fine for me but I have not heard from anyone who has big success with it. But I am not sure ..

Hello, thanks for sharing your experience and results. Do you take any medication now? I had my brief consultation with Dr Bisanga yesterday and I had to fly to Brussels for that. He told me he strongly recommend to take oral Minoxidil in case I want to do a HT.. I definitely do not consider taking oral Finasterid because of possible side effects. I’d rather lose my hair than having sexual disadvantages.

Looks great and thanks for sharing

Thanks for sharing Did it take more than one year to get a regular appointment? January 2022 - March 2023 .. Im considering Dr De Freitas but I would like to have a hair transplant done in Jan or latest March next year.

Thank you for your arguments. I will consider this. Why do you think anybody else will notice that I had a surgery? I saw results even from cheap hair mills that looked incredibly good (of course I will stay away from hair mills). As I said my only fear is to have more recession only a few years later and this is mainly the reason why I ask for advices. I wouldn’t be afraid of a second and also third surgery, if it would be after around 10 years and the third after another 10 years. And of course if my donor is good enough for this. Hi Marvin. Thank you for your feedback. What do you mean by ‚make sure that you‘re not too aggressive‘? Result from @capillus incrementumlooks very good to me 🙂 I would agree that his pre op situation is similar to mine. To be honest Dr. Bisanga is a little bit too expensive. I considered Dr. Bicer, HCL or Dr Bruno Pinto. I have to figure out if it’s really necessary to go the best. I have an offer from Dr Gökhan Gür who charges 1,25€/Graft and I only see positive feedback about him. When I started my research about Hair transplant I was almost sure to go with what you call hair mill in Istanbul. I didn’t know it is such a sensitive topic and there are many things someone can do wrong. P.S. Photo was taken in Munich at the Oktoberfest. It is definitely one of the cheaper Lederhosen. 😃 Hey, thanks for your feedback. When did you get your hair transplant? You said you waited 3 years and it didn’t make a difference. That’s also what I think of. Why wait when you can have that appearance improvement now and it won’t make a difference to wait? 🙂 To be honest, I don’t really care about the 6+ month until the results are visible. As I know you are allowed to wear baseball caps after a few weeks? Why you think you have to pay 10k+? As I replied to Marvin above I considered to go to Dr Bicer, HLC or Dr Bruno Pinto. They are all at 2.5-3€ as I know. Feedback from HLC was I would need 2000-2500 grafts. I visited a surgery in Berlin (not the best one I guess). They suggested only 1800 grafts. Probably they would not achieve a high density with this assumption.

Thank you for your feedback. As I know my hair in the temples will not return with these light treatments, right? I don’t believe supplementing vitamins improves my hair except you have a vitamin deficiency. Nevertheless I take multivitamin supplement, zinc and vitamin D everyday since years. Additionally I would say I have a good nutrition. Why is it a wrong decision to do a HT now? If I want to keep my status, okay, maybe not necessary. But I don’t want these temples anymore .. 🙃

That’s exactly what I’m doing. But sometimes I have like a bad hair day and it just looks messy. Then I am forced to style my hair to the side to have at least a clean look. Sometimes I wish to have more options for hairstyles and to do clean looks. As I said it is an aesthetic surgery for me. But I think it is for everyone?

I booked the consultation in Berlin because I almost decided to go to HLC in turkey. The consultation costs would have been deducted from final surgery costs and I would get an almost exactly number of needed grafts (and price). And additionally I thought in person they can give a better feedback about my current hair loss situation. I am waiting for feedback from Dr Bicer and Dr Pinto. I would like to limit the costs at 2.5€/Graft or 5-6k€. Depending on needed graft amount. Hereditary situation: My father has a very good hairline and he is in his late 50s. Find a picture attached. Maybe it’s NW1? His father had also good hair. Maybe it was NW2 in his last years. His brother has no temples but a little bit higher hairline. My mother has a little bit thinning hair (no temples or anything). But I would say nothing unusual. Her father had a balding head in his last years. I remember he had some hairs left on his upper head which he placed over his balding head. There was definitely some left hair on his upper head but not a much as the father from my father. My cousin (family side from my mother) has a good and normal mature hairline I think..

I see your point and of course there are many with a worse hair loss situation than me. I am not really in panic, but obviously I don’t want it to get much worse. For me it is only an aesthetic surgery and I would feel much better with a younger and better hairline. 🙂 My fear is to lose more hair behind the implanted hair after the surgery. This is why I ask for your feedback here and I really appreciate your feedback. I don’t know how it is in UK but in Germany you have to pay for a consultation about topics that are not necessary for your general health..

Thank you for your feedback. I will have a look at your recommended shampoo. Currently I use shampoo and hair tonic with caffeine and RootBioTec daily. It is only 10€ per month and I imagine I lose about 5 hairs less when brushing my hair. 😅 So your advice is to visit a dermatologist before doing a HT? Or is it better to go to a hair loss specialized doctor? I booked a consultation with Dr Özgür from HLC in Berlin in two weeks. I think I will cancel it because I found some negative reviews here. I thought maybe Dr Özgür could help me. They charge 100€ for this. I asked a dermatologist last week (reason for my consultation was something different) and she suggested to arrange a separate appointment for about 35€. What she can do is to send hair roots to a laboratory (is this helpful?) and she suggested to do a self observation. Maybe she was not a specialist for hair loss and it could be better to find one and pay more for a consultation. I noticed that I missed some probably helpful information. Hence I updated my post: UPDATE: sorry I think I forgot helpful information I never noticed active hair loss. I don’t think that I am losing more than 100 hairs a day. For example when brushing my hair after taking a shower I see about 3-10 hairs in the washbasin. When looking at picture that are about 10 years old (when I was 18) I see a better hairline than now. I tried Minoxidil for more than 6 months (reason was to improve beard growth, but also used in in the temples) and I didn’t notice any difference (neither beard nor hair). Even not after stopping to use it.

Hello everyone, I would like to ask for your feedback. I am 28 years old and I am interested in a HT. I have temples for years and they became bigger after turning 21 I guess. But as I can remember it stayed the same since I turned 23. I take no meds and don’t want to if not necessary. Could you please evaluate my situation? Is it too early for a HT? Picture 1-4 were taken some days ago. Picture 5 is 3 years old. Picture 6 is 5 years old. Picture 7 is some weeks ago with similar hairstyle. Did it get worse? UPDATE: sorry I think I forgot helpful information I never noticed active hair loss. I don’t think that I am losing more than 100 hairs a day. For example when brushing my hair after taking a shower I see about 3-10 hairs in the washbasin.

Micro motor is cheaper than manual. Usually it should be 2,50€ micro motor and 3€/Graft manual extraction. I would love to know why you paid only 1,50€ 😀 Maybe she raised prices since your surgery?

Looks awesome Was this manual extraction or using micromotor? I have seen that she offers both.
