Regular Member limitlesshair Posted April 21, 2011 Regular Member Share Posted April 21, 2011 I know this is a personal question regarding money, but i'm curious to find out how some people manage to pay for their hair transplants, as hair transplant are expensive, money is the first issue the comes to mind if your not rich ofcourse. So i'm wondering did any of you had to work full time so that you managed to save enough? , take a loan out or sell your stuff? i'm trying to work my ass off to save enough and sell all my personal belongings to raise enough money for a hair transplant as my parents aren't rich It's quite emotional but there's no other way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member TakingThePlunge Posted April 21, 2011 Senior Member Share Posted April 21, 2011 I got a part time job at HTN! Actually that happened after my transplants but it did help me pay the bills. I've never been good at saving. I put them on a credit card at very low interest. I think it was 2.9% for a period of time. After it was up I bounced it to a 0%, etc. Not ideal perhaps but at my age I really didn't want to wait much longer.

Senior Member RCWest Posted April 21, 2011 Senior Member Share Posted April 21, 2011 Limitlesshair, even though you are a little young for hair transplantation surgery, you are in an ideal situation to save for them. You are single and live at home. I had my 4 small surgeries while I was living at home. No bills, just saved all my money. Finasteride 1.25 mg. daily Avodart 0.5 mg. daily Spironolactone 50 mg twice daily 5 mg. oral Minoxidil twice daily Biotin 1000 mcg daily Multi Vitamin daily Damn, with all the stuff you put in your hair are you like a negative NW1?

Regular Member A8TYF Posted April 21, 2011 Regular Member Share Posted April 21, 2011 i was actually quite lucky, i was thinking of leaving the company i was with, and then they announced redundancies, i took the redundancy pay, and managed to find new employment quite quickly, so i never dipped into it. I'm now using 70% of that money on a HT in July. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member limitlesshair Posted April 21, 2011 Author Regular Member Share Posted April 21, 2011 Yeah I Understand what you mean about being young, though i'm going to be 18 in 2 months. My case is quite different, it's actually not genetics as i'm not suffering from hairloss, I've suffered from traction alopecia so the hairline and the temple areas were effected and need to be filled ontop I have bald patch from an accident on the front right side of my hairline size of a 50p Coin but thank god My hair is thick so it can be covered with my existing hair. So I think a hair transplant wouldn't be out of the question as i have no other option, I'm going to meet Dr Lindssy for Consultation as he's willing to help restore the temples but better to know what can be done once i meet him.

Senior Member Thehairupthere Posted April 21, 2011 Senior Member Share Posted April 21, 2011 Check to see if they offer financing options, this way you could pay the procedure off on a monthly basis, some even offer no interest policies. I am a consultant for Dr. True and Dr. Dorin. These opinions are my own.

Senior Member aaron1234 Posted April 27, 2011 Senior Member Share Posted April 27, 2011 I don't do well saving by myself. So I pay the clinic monthly deposits so I don't spend it on something else.
