Will do, thanks a million. Did he say roughly what month you’d be seeing the growth? I know it can take over a year for full density etc but will you have some level of growth in a few months?

Yes in a month! Glad to hear you’re happy. Are you seeing much in the way of growth? I know it’s very early days for you

@Homelander1998 how are you getting on? Watching with interest, am going to see Dr Nel soon

Actually, is the quote they give you initially per graft inclusive or exclusive of tax I wonder?

That’s really good to know, 21% is a huge saving.

I’m pretty sure I could guess the ‘red flag’ clinic in Ireland but I’ll say nothing either! Were you able to get the tax exemption in Brussels?

Can I ask how much Dr Nel was per graft?

I’ll get in touch and see what price I get. I have no idea how many grafts are needed. I was looking at pics here to see what 3000,4000 grafts etc actually looks like. Trying to figure out who looks most like me😅 Hoping he’s affordable to me as I’m very nervous about the whole thing but if I could afford him at least I’d know I was in the best possible hands.

Thank you. I’m just Wondering if you were with solely Bisanga or if you went with the Bisanga/Kostis duo procedure? If just Bisanga, do you mind if I ask you what the price per graft was? If you did the duo procedure, were you worried about this at all? Also, had you had any consultations here in Ireland with any alternative clinics before deciding on Belgium?

@JD Jones would love to message you about this but as a new member I think that’s why it’s not allowing me! In Ireland also and considering making the trip to Bisanga.

Dr Nel seems to be the best in Ireland from what I hear but I would imagine Bisanga to be in a different league. I just don’t know if I could afford him but I guess I won’t know unless I get in touch and find out. That’s one thing I’ve noticed about De Freitas, I’ve not seen one ‘before’ example yet that looks anywhere remotely like me. I have a strong back and sides, light brown/blonde but my crown is very sparse. Similar colour to @Maa for sure.

While this is an amazing resource I’m a little overwhelmed at the amount of information! Based in Ireland but willing to travel within Europe. Not keen on travelling too far as it is surgery and I’d like to keep things as simple and easy as possible. So far considering Dr Nel in Ireland, and outside of that, De Freitas and Bisanga. I would hazard a guess that 3000 grafts would be needed. Blonde hair, strong donor area. If I wasn’t budget conscious I would definitely go with Bisanga but I’m estimating that could cost €20k which I don’t have. Would I be right in thinking De Freitas would do a really great job for around half that? Any input on all 3 doctors would be great (or any other doctor worth exploring). Thank you so much.
