Start taking Finasteride to stop any further hair loss. You can get it online fairly cheaply. Most surgeons worth their salt would make sure you were taking it before agreeing to a transplant. 

I don't think stopping hairloss at this point might be enough. If it stays like that I'd be better off with shaving it bald, but at the moment I am uncomfortable to do so.

for me personally the top surgeons/clinics that I would go to are Dr bisanga, Dr mwamba, Eugenix, Dr juan couto. also start taking medication to stabilise your hairloss. 

At the moment those are too pricey for me. Medication might help in the long run but since I don't want to stay like this (proceeded to far already).

I finally got to make those photos. Hopefully that makes it easier to judge, would really enjoy your opinion please.

That's how I found Dr. Resul Yaman actually, and I am, so I guess, halfway through all of the forums posts about him and his work.

The fact that these "clinics" didn't ask/tell you about medication is a warning in on itself. 

Hair mills and hair transplantation in Turkey is significantly cheaper, but the quality is significantly less. Bisanga is world class and personally I don't think there is a better choice for blonde hair type.

Hair Transplants in Turkey is a minefield, there are so many choices of clinics and out of all of them about two-three are worth considering. And even then I wouldn't go to either of them if you were a advanced case (Norwood 5+).

3500-4000 Grafts which you were quoted could be almost half or more than half of your donor hair. If you get botched, you might not have enough hair saved for your future balding if you go into a high Norwood (6-7). 

Turkey are masters in marketing hair transplants, not hair transplants themselves. Save up money if you really want hair and go to a reputable surgeon who wont turn their back on you and who consistently provide the highest quality services hair transplants can offer. Not cheap 10-20 patients a day then block you on WhatsApp 6 months later.

Bicer and FUECapilar are the only Turkish choices that are worth considering. Maybe HLC.

I see, I actually was told by Smile that I got Norwood scale 6.

From your answers I am currently thinking about trying to wait a bit and trying medication.

I’m not sure about the price range with Bisanga actually, I think it’s around €4/5 per graft though but I could be wrong 

That’s about 5 times the price of the other two. It’s well above my limit.

among 3, yaman.

i'd say to save up for a better budget, but if you're hellbent on doing hair mill level price of budget, go with yaman, at least the risk is lower than the other two.

I don’t really have a fixed budget (sure I don’t want to pay 5k+ but a few hundreds more or less is alright) I want it to be a good procedure, and price-performance is what’s important to me.

Smile Hair Clinic and Elithair are hair mills, you will have a high chance of being botched or even on a successful surgery no planning for your future.

While Dr Yaman is reccomended on this forum, I've not been impressed with his recent results on his forum. I wouldn't choose any of them.

Please share some photos so we can see how much hair loss you have and you can get good responses.

Before any surgery you will need to stabilize your hair loss before you do anything. No point in getting a surgery and then you bald around/behind the transplanted areas. Are you on medication?

I am not on medication and never was.

None of the people contacted me about any medication to be honest.

I will share photos as soon as I get home. Thank you.

respectfully, none… 
Bisanga is a wizard with the blonde haired guys, do some more research I would say 👊🏼

Thank you, I’ll have a look.

Do you know about the price range?

The ones I mentioned were pretty alright between 2-3k €.

Hello everybody,

I am 28 years old, got blonde relatively thin hair and it began to thin out about 4-5 years ago. 
My hairdresser told me at the moment it stopped thinning out but I am unsure.

I got a genetically receding hairline and on the top of my head the hair is very thin.

Donor area is still full of hair.

Everyone I contacted so far told me I’d need about 3500 Grafts but I don’t know whom to chose since everyone seemed competent:

Smile Hair Clinic (found out about from social media), 3300-3800 Grafts

Dr. Resul Yaman (found out about in this forum), 3500 - 4000 Grafts

Elithair (found out about a work colleague), 3500 Grafts

Can you help me which to choose or which to definitely NOT choose?

Thank you very much
