Hi All, I have just undergone my first hair transplant procedure and will be documenting the progress on here and would be good to get some feedback. Background: About myself, I am just turning 27 years old. Have been dealing with some kind of hairloss since around 18, when I started noticing thinning on the temples. I took saw palmetto and primrose oil for a couple of years. Before starting taking finasteride just before turning 21. This definitely slowed my hairloss dramatically, but still some slight recession over the years. i think if i was taking no medication it would be extremely aggressive hairloss as all male relatives were bald at an early age. I decided to go with Dr Reddy at Harley Street in the end for a few reasons. Last year I was looking at Dr Konior but due to living in the UK and covid situation it wasn't very feasible. Through researching Europe based Dr's I really liked Dr Reddy's work and in particular his hairline design with generally conservative number of grafts. I had an initial consultation back in June, and one thing I liked in particular was the fact he was not pushy or trying to sell me it at all. Just giving me the information to questions I was asking. I decided to go with a 2 day 2000 graft operation to get maximum accuracy and finesse with the hairline as possible as the rest of my hair is pretty stable. The Day of the Operation: I was pretty nervous the week leading up the operation as it is a big deal to me and something I have been thinking about for a while as an option, so in a way actually having it happen was scary as I would be finding out how it would look one way or the other. I stayed in a hotel nearby so had some breakfast and walked over in the morning. Dr Reddy works in his own clinic now so it was just myself, Dr Reddy, the technician Bev and Dr Reddy's assistant Alda so you feel very comfortable and private. I would like to thank Bev in particular as she was with me basically the whole of the 2 days and was very friendly and reassuring about everything which helped put my mind at ease. I started with having the back and sides of my head shaved as I went with the option of keeping long on top as I have a lot of meetings for work. I am taking a couple of weeks off so it should look back to normalish by that point and no-one any the wiser as I wear my hair down. The first day the extractions were all done from the back of the head, Dr Reddy does all the extractions himself and then Bev takes the follices out. Due to the speed of healing and bleeding this was done in 3 sessions of punching and then extracting. Which minimised the time between the punch and actually being pulled out. After this I had some lunch provided by the clinic and then the hairline was drawn on, I have attached a picture of what was agreed at the initial consultation and will include more when I get them from the clinic. My main goals were not to drastically lower the hairline or square it, but to fix the temples and solidify across to better frame the face and give me the option of having my hair pushed back. Dr Reddy then implanted all the grafts himself, focusing mainly on the first day of filling in the density as well as singles for the hairline. Initially this was quite pain-free, besides the anaesthetic injections. However as the time went on these got more painful. The Dr said I metabolised it very fast and there was a limit on how much could keep being put in. I then went home and slept not too great but managed to stay on my back most of the night, some light swelling in the mroning and pain which was helped by pushing the liquid down the side of my face. The second day was pretty similar to the first, except the grafts were taken from the sides of my head and Dr Reddy filled in the gaps and finished off the hairline from the first day. I managed to sleep a bit better that evening I think as I knew it was finally over. I have been spraying every half hour with a solution provided by the clinic and will do this for the first 3 days. Pictures attached: A photo from when I was 19 and starting Saw palmetto, you can see how clearly the receding already started, although I think propecia has slowed it down A photo from last year which I sent to Dr Konior where you can see how the hairline is weak and what I wanted A photo after my consultation with the Dr where we designed an example hairline. I will get a better one from the clinic for this A photo of how I normally wear my hair to hide it, i have very curly hair so wearing it down disguises it. Apart from the dreaded gust of wind or pool! Which meant I wore a cap a lot And then 2 photos taken by Dr Reddy after the surgery of the donor and the hairline. Long post so thank you for reading this far! -
Hi Everyone, I’m a 32-year-old male from the UK, new to the forum, but now ready and wanting to improve my hairline through an FUE transplant. In terms of background, I noticed that my hairline was starting to recede when I was 21 and have been watching it slowly edge backwards for over a decade. I also have the early beginnings of loss in the crown area, but this doesn’t seem to have progressed since I started taking finasteride a couple of years ago. I haven’t noticed any negative side effects from the finasteride. I have also been using topical minoxidil since I was 21. Few photos attached. Think I’m somewhere between a Norwood 2/3 maybe, but the loss to date has had a big impact on my confidence. I don’t necessarily want my 21-year-old self’s hairline back, but I’d feel much better with improved coverage in the temple areas. I had a consultation with Dr Reddy booked last year whilst he was still operating through the Private Clinic, but the Private Clinic cancelled/messed me around and it took me a while to discover that Dr Reddy now has his own practice, so I’m looking to get that consultation rearranged. I’m also aware of Dr Bicer and Dr Arshad who I first came across through this forum. Their work also looks fantastic. Interested in everyone’s thoughts on other surgeons in Europe that may be worth considering? My primary concern is maximising my chances of getting a good, natural looking result whilst preserving my donor area for future transplants. Cost will be a relevant consideration, but it’s not my primary motivator - aware of an increased cost if I commit to remaining the in the UK. Thanks

I've been following his stuff for a while. I think his latest results (at least the ones shown on social media) look very good. To me it seems as though he does very 'soft' hairlines if that makes sense, which makes them appear very natural. They aren't a harsh line and have many singles below/blended in. I also notice that they aren't always packed extremely densely, although I could be wrong. I wonder how much of the hairline is filled in due to finasteride usage following surgery vs the actual transplant itself? Has anyone consulted with Dr Reddy? I'm curious to hear opinions on Dr Reddy vs Dr Bisanga. I've seen superb and okay from both, although the majority that I've seen have been closer to superb for both. -
This 35 year old gentleman came to us with a 3 year history of gradual hair loss. He was examined by Dr Reddy and prescribed 1mg oral finasteride and 5% topical minoxidil for 12 months. Following the course of this treatment, his hair loss became stable and he was keen to lower his hairline. Following extensive discussions, it was established that FUE was his treatment of choice. 1347 grafts were extracted using a 0.9mm punch. Attached are the images immediately after and 12 months post operation. -
Thoughts on Dr Raghu Reddy?
RandoBrando517 replied to TheManeMan's topic in Hair Transplant Experiences and Surgeon Reviews
Probably top 5 best hairlines ever done goes to @timcfc who went to reddy -
I’m sorry but from what I can see it’s going to be a real struggle to get a decent amount from the donor area. This shows a dipping crown, so a future Norwood 7 is most likely. Especially without meds. And the donor itself doesn’t look too strong. By all means if your in the Uk try and get a face to face appt with either Dr Arshad, Dr Reddy, Dr Farjo or Dr Ball but I’m think they will most likely say your husband is not a ideal candidate. -
I'll also look into Dr. Reddy. Thanks @Melvin- Moderator -
I would also recommend Dr. Reddy in the UK for your case look at this thread, one of the best hairlines I’ve seen and similar pattern and hair characteristics as you. -
Density clues immediately after transplant
JC71 replied to JM1987's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
Have you got anymore pics ? Pre + post op pics would really help. Did you go to Dr Reddy ? I ask as he normally is per hair not graft. Could be 2.4K grafts at a very rough approximation. From what I can see the density implanted looks fine. -

Yer given a choice between Bisnaga and Reddy ? Bisanga every time ! No contest really… -
Thoughts on Dr Raghu Reddy?
jay80 replied to TheManeMan's topic in Hair Transplant Experiences and Surgeon Reviews
Thanks mate. Have seen his work but not sure he's the right guy for me. Think I'm down to 4-5 surgeons I'll consider and Dr Reddy is the only one in the UK. -
Hello everyone I thought I would share my progress with my FUE procedure with Dr. Reddy. Im not going to write a long winded review but I will say that service was top class, I was really looked after, a friendly helpful team. Anyway here is me before

Hi folks, First and foremost, as this is my first post on the forum it's a pleasure to meet you all. I'm not really one to do something like this as i) I wanted my transplant and experience to go unnoticed and ii) hair transplants aren't the solution for everyone. For myself however, it has been profound, as well as giving me a real confidence in my day-to-day and I'd like to share the results of my experience, to help those individuals looking to do a transplant to make an informed decision in their hair loss journey. The transplant was done over the course of two days by the Dr and his team in his Harley Street clinic mainly addressing the temple recession that I experienced in my hair. They took a very careful approach with minimal pain, faff and ensured that I was as comfortable as I could be. The clinic have been available for any queries that I had (pre and post operation), and I must stress that the after-care was my main reason for doing it in the UK, and I have not been disappointed. I have only ever had prompt responses, as well as consistent follow-ups to track the progress of the transplant. I am now taking a 1mg oral finasteride, as well as the, "meat & potatoes" of hair loss treatment in the use of a minoxidil/topical finasteride solution, nizoral shampoo twice weekly and derma rolling twice weekly. Through his safe hands and careful, measured approach I can safely say that my hair is back where it used to be. Pics attached are a timeline of events. I am currently at the 7 month mark. -
Hey all, After lots of research, I have decided that I will get a HT next year. (Ran out of holiday at work so will have to be early next year) i am looking at FUE, 2,500 grafts.1500 at the front and 1000 on the crown, as previously advised at a consultation with Dr Shahmalak in Manchester. after further research, I have now decided that I would like to go with either Raghu Reddy or Christian Bisanga. (Based on results I have seen on here) my question, is who is likely to produce the best results? Many pics I see are on the front and not much on the crown so am reaching out to you guys for some adevice? many thanks in advance.

Only doctor in the UK I would consider is Dr Reddy, if you have the money. Plenty of good options abroad though. -
This 56 year old gentleman came to us requesting a hair transplant following an assessment by Dr Reddy, he was recommended to try oral finasteride to stabilise his hair loss. However, the patient wasn't keen as he was worried about the side affects. As Dr Reddy was not comfortable to operate on this patient without stabilising his hair loss, the patient agreed to consider using topical finasteride. Following some brief trial and error we managed to tailor the optimum dose of topical finasteride that the patient could tolerate without noticing side effects. His hair loss was observed for a period of 12 months on our tailored dose of topical finasteride. We transferred 2247 grafts using a 0.9mm punch in our new practice at 107 Harley Street. Attached are the pictures 6 months after his procedure. We are also pleased to say that the patient has been really compliant with his tailored dose of topical finasteride without noticeable side effects.

I have to agree with @JDEE0Im sorry to say. The work isn’t particularly refined and the density implanted Isn’t what we would expect to give adequate coverage. Here in the Uk we usually consider Dr Arshad, Dr Reddy, Dr Farjo and Dr Ball. I have never been impressed with the work coming out of the Wimpole clinic this is just my honest opinion having followed Uk clinics for the last decade. I think it will grow in fine and you will just need a second pass to get better density and a more refined hairline.

Hi, I am 27 and been loosing my hair since I’m 20. Now I am considering doing a hair transplant altho I am finding it difficult to choose a clinic. I live in London and I found a doctor with good reviews called dr reddy raghu but he charges around 15k. Is this a reasonable price? I am from Portugal and the average price there is between 3k and 5k euros. Would it be a big difference between doing it here with dr reddy or in lisbon? Please advise if possible. -
In the UK ive seen great stuff from Reddy
-
If your happy to travel then you should look at some of the European options. In the Uk we are not exactly blessed with too many clinics worth considering. Dr Arshad, Dr Reddy, Dr Ball and Dr Farjo are the only names even worth a look here. However looking further afield will get you some world class options.

This 27 year old gentleman came to our clinic with a 4 year history of hair loss. He was assessed by Dr Reddy and was prescribed with Finasteride to stabilise his hair loss. He was reassessed 12 months later and following a further assessment, he was qualified for a FUE procedure. We managed to transfer just under 2900 grafts. Attached are the pictures showing his progress 6 months after the procedure. We will keep you posted about any further progress.

👋 first post here I wanted to make a 'placeholder' thread for my upcoming FUE journey and give something back as this place has been excellent during my extensive research over the past 12 months. I am booked for an FUE procedure this July having been delayed twice now during the COVID-19 lockdown. I believe I may well possibly be the first FUE procedure after the clinics reopening 😄 Clinic Not to be dramatic, but I would prefer to announce the clinic and surgeon after my procedure in a few weeks. It is a fairly renowned & well respected UK based clinic. Procedure 3000 hairs - 1000/1200 grafts Non-shaven (except donor area, of course) Medication I have been on Minox for 2 years. I have been on fin for 6 months. I stopped last month due to sides. I plan on restarting in the coming days with a lesser dosage. About Me I have always had a naturally high hairline, even as a child. I have styled my hair with a fringe for nearly most of my adult life and I have done a fairly good job (I think?) at disguising any thinning or hair loss, unless a gust of wind decides to hit me out of nowhere 😂. Over the past few years, I have suffered typical recession along the hairline, predominately on the front left. Thinning is progressively worsening on the crown area too but I was advised back in February to continue medical treatment for this rather than take the surgical route. I had started fin 2 months prior to that, so obviously there were no improvements at that point. Fast forward another 3 months and I have noticed that my hair feels a lot stronger and even has improved density in the crown along with sligh improvement in density in the hairline. Photo normal style, with hair down Photos day of consultation (02/2020) Photos recently (05/2020) 06/20 My ideal outcome is to have a more natural & dense looking hairline, hopefully giving me the confidence to have a hair cut where I don't require a fringe. The hair line design was a rough example which the consultant drew. Any feedback on this would be appreciated! I also had a consultation with a different surgeon, and his drawing was slightly higher. I felt better about this design posted above however. Along with the several examples posted on this forum of the surgeons excellent work, I am very excited for my procedure! (and a little nervous of course). -
Hi Guys, I am new on here although I am a little confused after booking a consultation with Dr Reddy following research and hearing good things about him. I contacted the private clinic to arrange a consultation and was told the next available date with Dr Reddy was in November. I also submitted my details via a different website https://drraghureddy.com/ and found I had a response from an @gmail account. Finding this a little suspicious I questioned the authenticity of the email address and it would appear legitimate. Has anybody else booked in via this method with Dr Reddy? I assume it is a direct way of seeing him rather than waiting to get an appointment via one of his affiliated clinics. -
How many grafts do I need?
JC71 replied to RPDCB95's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
Please can you post a pic here and let us know which clinic/Dr your choosing. We don’t have that many I would even recommend here in the Uk. The only places worth considering are Dr Reddy, Dr Arshad, Dr Ball & Dr Farjo. -
Hello all, First time poster here. I've recently started an Instagram account to chronicle my FUE journey with Dr Reddy in London. If you would like to follow my daily update pictures and videos please check out my account @myjourneyfue. Some initial photos attached. Thanks!
