supermanvs Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Hi All, I'm a first time poster but long time reader and have decided to take the plunge and get a hair transplant (FUE only as I scar easily). I have a family history of MPB and have been thinning (crown and frontal) since my early twenties and I'm nearly 28 and have lost quite a lot in the last year or so. I'm using rogaine (for about two/three years) and but my hair is still falling out. I'm hoping to get about 1000 grafts put it first and then possibly have another treatment a few years after that? I have about ?5000 (I know its not a lot) and I would like some advice on who to see (preferably in Europe)? I know Farjo's name has popped up quite a few times (he charges approx. ?5000 for 1000 grafts) and I was thinking of seeing Bijan Feriduni in Belgium but don't know if I have enough cash or if he is good?. Thanks for reading and any advice would be great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Blake Bloxham Posted October 23, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted October 23, 2012 If you're in Europe and considering FUE, I highly, highly recommend Dr. Feriduni. He's a truly gifted FUE practitioner, and I also think he will provide an honest evaluation as to whether or not you're a suitable candidate for FUE as well. Dr. Farjo is an excellent hair transplant surgeon as well, but to my knowledge, he only performs FUT. Good luck!

Mick from Farjo Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 Blake, I can confirm that we are doing FUE and have been steadily increasing numbers over the past few months. I will get round to posting some results and in the near future will have some interesting information on this to share with the community.

Senior Member s2thoudriver Posted October 24, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted October 24, 2012 I would advise travelling to Turkey if your budget is limited. GBP 5,000 is a lot for only 1,000 FUE grafts I paid near to GBP 5,000 and had 2,800 grafts and it also included flights, accommodation, meds etc etc Have a look at my thread on this forum for more details and any questions just ask, i'm always happy to help.

Senior Member Mickey85 Posted October 24, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted October 24, 2012 Some amazing Doctors specializing in FUE in Turkey(Keser, Erdogan, Eser) as well as Dr. Lorenzo in Spain(also FUE exclusive). Bisanga and Feriduni also excel at FUE. The only 2 threads you will ever need: Revamped Advantages/Disadvantages of FUE. Myths dispelled. Educate yourself Everything FUE.

Senior Member HARIRI Posted October 24, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted October 24, 2012 Keser has the cheapest rate and best economical quality. He charges only EURO2.5 per graft but only works on Virgin scalps. I would not compare him to Erdogan or Eser. I think he is much above them when it comes to final results. He has a whole section in Belli Capelli Forum under Proposte dalle cliniche. You can check it out.

Senior Member s2thoudriver Posted October 24, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted October 24, 2012 You think Keser is better than Dr.Eser based on what ...??? I have seen both of their work and went with Dr.Eser. Glad i did as i prefer her hairline design to Dr.Kesers Also, if his budget is 6k EUR, minus 1.5k EUR for travel and accommodation, that leaves him with 4.5k for grafts. At 2.5 EUR per graft, that's 1,800. With Dr.Eser, you get the same results but 2,800 grafts for the same money as 1,800 ;-) Rob 2800 FUE, Istanbul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks alot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member William38 Posted October 30, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted October 30, 2012 Hiya, I went to see Dr De Reys in Belgium who is a top doctor (he used to be lead surgeon at the Pro Clinic) and he charges 7000 euros for 3000 grafts. Here's my journal: http://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/eve/165487-5000-fue-dr-de-reys.html Good luck! Will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for reading and any advice would be great! Hello Supermanvs, Great you have started to move forward in improving your self image. HT is about you feeling the best about yourself. FUE though a more recent advancement is gaining popularity. The 20th annual ISHRS Conference just took place for hair restoration surgeons in the Bahamas and there were many presentations surrounding FUE and they just established a new international committee to research and advance this procedure further. Dr. Mohebi one of the recommended surgeons here on HTN is the chair of the committee. Look forward to hearing how your consult went.

supermanvs Posted November 26, 2012 Author Share Posted November 26, 2012 Hi Michael, I haven't had my on-line consultation yet, but I hope to have it soon . Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supermanvs Posted December 1, 2012 Author Share Posted December 1, 2012 Hi All, Just a bit of an update. I had an on-line consultation with Dr. Feriduni and was told that at the moment he would NOT recommend having a hair transplant as I probably will lose more hair over the next few years. He suggested I take Propecia, which I don't want to take due to side affects and I don't particularly feel comfortable messing around with my hormones. Any suggestions/ideas would be great . Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member chrisdav Posted December 1, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted December 1, 2012 Supermanvs, You can use the other FDA approved non-surgical treatment minoxidil, and nizoral possibly as well. Finasteride is the most potent weapon, and far better than the combination of the two above, but it is understandable if you don't feel it is right for you. There is also saw palmetto, but I don't know much about that. Other than that you can try using concealer to make the thinning hair appear thicker, get a hair piece or shave it down very short. That is about it. 2 poor unsatisfactory hair transplants performed in the UK. Based on vast research and meeting patients, I travelled to see Dr Feller in New York to get repaired.

Senior Member michaeljames Posted December 7, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted December 7, 2012 Hi Supermanvs, Glad to see you had an online consult. The doctors recommendation are best; you may also decide to see if you even have a negative response to Propecia. All the best Michael.
