Cheers. I had a great experience with them, very professional, and happy with the result.

Yes, I couldn’t have afforded their FUE either.. With FUT I only had to pay $5 p graft for the first 2000 then $3 for the rest. I consulted with Eugenix as well and if I wanted FUE I probably would have gone with them

Congrats man! Would you happen to have a post of your journey? I would love to see how yours looks since we both are diffuse thinners.

The decision of FUT or FUE is a personal one based on preferred hair style or donor characteristics e.g degree of retrograde alopecia. 
If you have your reasons for preferring FUE that’s fine, but it isn’t overall ‘better for diffuse thinners’. As for the amount of grafts needed, FUT before FUE will more often than not give you a larger lifetime supply of grafts.

As a diffuse thinner myself I recieved nearly 6k via FUT with Dr Wong. He told me if I opened for FUE I couldn’t have exceeded 3k without the donor looking very thin. This is all individual though and I’m not trying to dismiss your point, but rather show a different perspective for others reading. I’m sure you’d be in fantastic hands with Dr Bansal

Of course! No issues with you offering a different perspective

I was quoted for H&W, but the cost is a bit much. How was your experience? Was it worth it?

If you are on budget thn dr nader is a good choice....if you can afford a package in which dr bansal herself does the extraction and incisions thn you cn surely go with her...if your budget is around 3.5-4usd thn de freitas and pittela are best ...and if budget is nt a barrier at all thn h&w and fuegenix(which you wer mentioning by mistake) are the best of best ones...

Thank you! I believe the package with Bansal equates to about $4 a graft. Would you pick Freitas over Bansal for a diffuse thinner like myself? I have not done enough research on Freitas.

I don’t see what’s that’s got to do with it. I had FUT. it should depend on te donor and extent of hair loss pattern, not whether your recipient in diffuse or not 

I mean its a cosmetic surgery. I would rather have the FUE process of extraction, as opposed to having that scar that a FUT produces. 

Also, I need a higher number of grafts. It could be harder to conceal that scar a FUT would produce. Just an overall better option to opt for a FUE for me.

I'm curious where you read that. 

I believe the scar could be more noticeable with FUT, as opposed to the FUE method of picking individual grafts. 

The success is about similar these days  and guys like Nader only offer FUE.

I think there’s little reason to.  He’s a great choice, especially when considering budget.

Agreed. He has availability in March 2024 which is a bit too far for me. I would like to have it done in August, but I understand the timeframe argument of waiting to get the right surgeon. 

Just now, Rafael Manelli said:

Dr Bansal is Eugenix, not Fuegenix. Fuegenix is Dr Munib Ahmad (who is excellent)

Have you considered FUT? 

Sorry about that lol ! 

No, FUE is the best for diffuse thinning from what I researched. Unless you think otherwise?

Yeah, I would love H&W, but he is waaay out of my budget. 

 

I meant the the price out of Bansal, Bicer, and Nader were no issue lol

Out of those, I'd personally go with Nader.

That was my personal favorite choice as well. Would consider someone else over Nader given my pattern of hair loss?

Another Diffuse thinner here. After a year of research, I would go with Turan, Pekiner, HLC, De Freitas, Feriduni or Bansal. Please note that i listed these doctors because they have a relatively short waiting list (maybe up to a year). Other top-tier doctors have a waiting list for consultations varying from one to three years (bear in mind the word consultation). 

l was going to look into Freitas and get a consultation. 

Bansal is looking like a strong candidate to me due to the availability. How do you feel about their packages? Is it worth to get Bansal as the lead? Or their senior doc? Is there much of a difference?
 

I’m also hesitant about the techs doing majority of the work as opposed to Nader and Bicer doing majority, if not all, of it.

Yeah, I would love H&W, but he is waaay out of my budget.

Hello everyone, 

I have decided to plunge into the hair transplant world and I am having a tough decision on who to chose between Bansal (Fuegenix), Bicer, and Nader. Price is no issue among the 3 and I have been quoted for 3400 from Fuegenix and 3000-3500 from H&W.

I am a 26 year old diffuse thinner who has been on fin for about a year and min for 3 years. I am based in California and would like to know who should I go with? All 3 surgeons are fantastic! Its a tough decision. I have seen great results for patients with my particular hair loss as well.

Please sway my decision !

Hey man great results! I would live to consult Dr. Nader for my own HT, but no dice. 

If you could help me out, I’d appreciate it!

Hey man, I’m in a similar situation as you and was wondering the same thing! I like the results I’ve seen from Nader see @Trichotrophy post. 

I would like to know more options though.

you think so? i want to clarify the top pic is 7 months in and the bottom is 3 months. 

yea man i think im a little below baseline, but will reassess when i hit a year. I’m doing 1 mg EOD because i faced some nocebo and this is the best dose for me. 

Hey all, 

As the title says. Would love to know what yall think! 

Background: I am 25 years old. Started losing hair at 18 with my right temple receding. Didn’t do much to combat it, until I was 23 and started min. I have been on min for 2 years and entering 8 months for fin. I started at .5 mg EOD to ED and now 1mg EOD.
