Hi all,
First time posting here and hoping to receive some advice from other members as I am considering a hair transplant.
I have attached photos below of my current hairline.
I have spoken to several clinics with online consultations, namely with HDC (Cyprus), Dr. Yaman, Dr. Gur, Dr. Turan (all Turkey), and Dr. Arshad (UK/Leeds) and between them they have suggested a range of 2000-4000 grafts (most were moreso in the 2.5-3k range). (Note, my hair is and always has been quite fine)
A big concern of mine is using up too many of my donor hairs in a first procedure, and then being left with minimal available donors if a future procedure is required (which at my age of 29, I feel may be likely).
With this in mind, do members think that this range of donor hairs seems accurate, necessary along with leaving sufficient donor hairs if a follow-up procedure?
Furthermore, what are people's opinions on the above surgeons? In particular for a case of fine, receding hair such as mine.
Please see further information on my hair loss pattern below -
I'm 29 now and first noticed my hairline receding at about 22/23, when I began to use minoxidil on and off until about 1 year ago when I got sick of the maintenance of it (and the greasy look it gave my hair), which in hindsight has resulted in much further loss.
About 1.5 months ago I began taking finasteride (1mg every 2 days), and thankfully have yet to experience any sides.
