Mid 20s considering a transplant...ANY ADVICE

[dkle2]

Hi,

 

I'm in my mid 20s and started losing my hair at the age of 19. I have lost a significant amount of hair at the front and was thinning out on top. 3-4 years ago I saw a hair transplant doctor in Australia and he prescribed the use of Rogaine and Proscar tablets.

 

The Proscar tablets has worked well and my hair loss is largely contained to the frontal area. I have attached some photos for review. I am now seriously considering going ahead with a transplant.

 

I recently moved to the UK and was wondering if anyone could recommend a doctor to have a consultation with. I'm not sure if I'm better off having a op in the UK or flying elsewhere. I've been recommended the following docs in Belgium on this forum; bisanga, feriduini, mwamba. However I still wish to consult with a London based doctor. I have seen a Groupon sale for the London Hair Transplant Clinic I believe this is where Rooney got his done. Are they worth a consult?

 

Does anyone know the approximate cost of 1000 grafts in the UK and how does that compare to the US or Belgium. I would like to do the FUE procedure. I have attached a photo of my hair loss.

 

Also I was wondering what can a expect after surgery and how long would it take for me to recover to the point that no one at work would notice that I had an operation?

 

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
