GUVEN

Incredible result. I'm very excited for my surgery with DR BISANGA and KOSTIS in a couple of months time. Hopefully an equally great result too!

How much did you pay per graft and what was the overall cost for the result?

I'd like to start by saying thank you to all of those who've jumped to leave a comment for me, you've all probably got better things to be doing with your time, so I genuinely appreciate the effort - thanks! I've decided to start Finasteride today, I didn't want to, but I've no real choice it seems. I've started by taking 0.25mg and I'll aim to take it every day, totalling up to 1.75mg a week. I'm looking to introduce it gently into my system in order to see how my body reacts. Ultimately, I think 1.75mg is incredibly conservative given the state of my hair currently, however I'll look to build towards 3mg of FIN a week over time? Any thoughts on this? I'll obviously keep my daily Rogaine efforts in place alongside the introduction of FIN. It appears from the comments that no one whose reputable will touch me without me being on medication besides topical Rogaine. I guess this buys me some time to research further and pray to God that some better medical/technological treatments come to light. One thing I need clarity on: Why is the transplant space such a mess? It seems that almost every single surgeon has their pros and cons. I've gone through the doctors with the highest accreditations and some of them have some really awful results, whilst others whom aren't at the cutting edge appear to have incredible ones. Going through each and every doctors results is fine, but it's mind numbing trying to make a sound choice in this space. I know that throughout the web, there's numerous guides and "top 10s", including a help post on these forums, but honestly I feel like I'm getting nowhere. I know that people fake results etc. but some of the surgeons with the best reputations in the industry have some questionable results too. We've sent people to space, but can't fix hair? So frustrating. Sometimes I think that solving/fixing the problem isn't important, as the industry makes more money selling snake oil on a subscription basis rather than solving the issue directly.

Hi all. I've been contemplating a hair transplant for several years, but I've gotten to a stage in which I've genuinely had enough and feel that if I don't put myself out there then I'll never have the courage to go ahead and get one. My issue is finding a surgeon whose able to give me the results I want. The markets an absolute mine field. I've been taking Rogaine "Extra Strength" for several months, after coming on and off of it over the course of a few years, after feeling that I saw no results. However I'm not on any other medication. I also try to use branded shampoos and hair balms, recently buying and using the "Hair Growth Routine" package from scandinavianbiolabs after a friend recommended it; probably snake oil but who knows. To get to the point, the reason I've been putting off hair transplants is due to the fact that I feel like they mostly look obvious and unnatural... good results appear to be quite rare. Picking the wrong surgeon and having a bad transplant scares the $..T out of me. However, I'm at a stage now where I think that a reputable surgeon can't make things look any worse than they currently are. I need a hair transplant with a focus on a natural look - this is the most important thing for me, and probably for most believe people if I'm honest? I have no idea who to use, as most surgeons portfolios are a mixed bag of good and bad hair transplants. I've been browsing these forums for months, watching YouTube videos for years and trying to keep track of hair transplant studies and experiments, but it looks like I have no choice but to bite the bullet and find a good surgeon. It appears that a surgeon named Dr. Juan Couto is producing some good results, however his website is deliberately offline, apparently due to high demand? I also got in contact with a clinic in the UK, namely Dr Edward Maitland Balls' Maitland clinic, however their response to my online query was that my donor area was "weak" and that surgery would not be an appropriate option for me. I was quite disheartened to be honest, but there's not much I can do about their reply except move on. Is there anybody here that can give me solid advice, an opinion on my hair type and what my options are? I've genuinely had enough, it's crushing my confidence and constantly on my mind. I feel like I can't move forward with my life, as stupid as it sounds. I'm 31 years old and from the United Kingdom. Note: Don't be nice... be honest.
