    Favorite Five HT Doctors*

    (no particular order)

    1) Bisanga

    2) Pinto

    3) Couto (for hairlines)

    4) De Freitas

    5) Sethi

    Worst

    1) Dr 'Mani' Mittal (mainly because all his reviews are clearly rehearsed and pre-written). His work is average or decent.

    Good list though saying Dr Manish Mittal is the worst is pretty harsh. Do you really think all his reviews are fabricated ?

    I've seen some good results by him !

    my first and second at a cheap clinic seem to start around month 3 with significant growth at month 4, I have just been to Eugenix in January of this year and the surgery was a world apart and so much more professional and clean, the healing was loads faster, but I was surprised as I saw nothing till month 4 and really its only in the last few week hitting month 5 that its now coming to life

    I've been looking at their results and really good. How many grafts have you had in total? Any photos??

    Have you heard the theory that larger punches might actually increase the survival rate of hair?  This is because the additional larger scarring around the follicles works as a buffer against DHT.  I'm not sure if there's much truth to this but it's been recent discussion.

    Wow this is a very interesting theory this. I've been taking Finasteride for ages but never thought of it like this. Where did you read / hear this ??

    Just reading this as I searched his name online but I had and FUT procedure with Dr Ted in January ‘22, 3996 grafts in total and it was done in 1 day. 

    Obviously do your own research as it sounds like you are but I’m really happy with my result. Feel free to dm if you want to chat about my experience. 

    Hi Nate, I have a consultation with him in a few weeks at WMG in London and am trying to speak to a few of his patients. Do you have any photos of you case? Why FUT over FUE ??

    Dr ball , dr farjo , dr bonaros , dr manish mittal, dr raghu reddy , dr ted miln ...but don't narrow down your options by being specific to one country ...open up your travel preference and you will get lots more options....

    I have a consultation with Dr. Miln in 2 weeks in London, I've been following his Instagram for some time now, really good results.

    Are there any case studies on here posted by any of his patients yet? I can't find much...

    Thank you for the replies. I appreciate the feedback.

    I know that part of my account above is probably overthinking and some of my statements a bit unkind in the heat of the moment and I feel bad for that, on top of all the other things. But it is how I honestly felt about everything.

    Many interpretations are subjective (personally I find the temple areas behind the frontal hairline to be extremely sparse), but let’s stick to the numbers for now, as I got contacted by the clinic today, so I gave them a chance to explain.

    Low count in the donor area (1400 vs. 1800)

    They said that my low count in the donor area is because there are some follicular units with 4 or 5 hairs that they split in two in order to get more grafts.

    There were no 4s or 5s in the graft counts that they gave me so I asked if the counts were after the splitting or not. They said there are typically about 10% of 4s that are split and then added to the graft count.

    I counted about 1400 extraction sites, but let’s say that I was off by 200 and there were 1600. Add 10% that were split in two and we go to 1760, almost the 1800 that they claimed. Not quite there but not terrible. I’m not going to make a fuss over 200 grafts.

    Low count in the recipient area (1070 vs. 1750)

    This is the more serious one.

    They said that my low count in the recipient area is because they do doubling up or packing of the grafts, which means they put two grafts in one incision. So each graft that I was counting was actually two grafts.

    That would explain my low count, but then I asked why did you claim that you did 1750 incisions? Shouldn’t that be half?

    And they said no, because only 10% are doubled up.

    But that contradicts their explanation for my low count.

    And on we’ll go in circles, answering but not really answering. Which is why I didn’t want to contact them in the first place. I didn’t expect to get any straight answers.

    Anyway, I am sick to the bone thinking about hair so I’m not going to chase this anymore. I seriously can’t.

    I might be back in 6 months with some photos as I agreed with them and we’ll see how it looks then.

    Hi, interesting reading your account about the numbers. Do you have any update on how this progressed in the end? I had a consultation with Doctor Deme recently and quite liked his straight forward approach. I'd be interested to see how this turns out for you. Thank you

    Yes, there are. This is why places like this community are becoming more important to check a prospective doctor out. Avoid any clinic that doesn’t display who their doctors are. And avoid any clinic that does more than one patient a day. That should be the gold standard with the best doctors actually doing the work themselves. 
     

    The U.K now is more dangerous than ever before. With a failing nhs more and more doctors are looking for an out. And are all trying to jump on this gravy train. 
     

    if the price is too low expect it to be a new surgeon doing the work on your head. And ask the question how many procedures have you done! 
     

    who will be doing the work

    how many cases will you be overseeing

    do you work with a regular group of techs

    These are just some of the basics that a good clinic should be able to answer. 
     

    hair transplants are hard to get right! 

    Thanks for the reply. I've had a fair few consultation in London around the Harley Street area. Most of these 'hair transplant surgeons' are actually registered as GP's I've discovered who converted to hair. Very few are actually listed as surgeons on the General Medical Council register. 

    Dutasteride + Finasteride ??

    in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers

    Posted

    I'm 39 years old and I've been using Finasteride 1mg (Propecia brand) for about 4 years now and feel like I'm loosing a little hair again. I don't get on well with Minoxidil as it causes dryness and itchiness. 

    I've been told I can add Dutasteride 0.5mg once or twice a week to my Finasteride routine in order to strengthen my hair more. Is anybody on here doing this? Did it work??
