Senior Member FUE2014 Posted February 3, 2014 Senior Member Share Posted February 3, 2014 In life you generally get what you pay for. Do you feel this maxim also generally applies to HT's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member TommyLucchese Posted February 3, 2014 Senior Member Share Posted February 3, 2014 It depends on what surgeon you choose. If you go to a quality surgeon like I did, then you normally get a great result that definitely dented your wallet. There are some real sharks out there that are more expensive with no ethics and often no ability. Really it shouldn't come down to cost, it should come down to research. Find a group of doctors that you have seen a lot of good results posted in trustworthy places (i.e not always on their website), find the ones you like and THEN compare prices and location. 2,000 grafts FUT Dr. Feller, July 27th 2012. 23 years old at the time. Excellent result. Need crown sorted eventually but concealer works well for now. Propecia and minoxidil since 2010. Fine for 8 years - bad sides after switching to Aindeem in 2018. Switched to topical fin/minox combo from Minoxidil Max in October 2020, along with dermarolling 1x a week. Wrote a book for newbies called Beating Hair Loss, available on Amazon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Spanker Posted February 3, 2014 Senior Member Share Posted February 3, 2014 It a doctor gets high yield (95% or above) and the hair is transplanted with artistry, then yes, you do. However, this is only done by a small percentage of clinics worldwide, IMO, so, if you do your research and get a good doc, and your expectations are in line with what transplants can actually offer, then yes, you get what you pay for. The answer to this will be different to each individual. Many people are happy and it is worth 10 times to them what they pay, some are happy but want more, and some find that it does not meet their expectations. I am an online representative for Dr. Raymond Konior who is an elite member of the Coalition of Independent Hair Restoration Physicians.

Senior Member hsrp10 Posted February 4, 2014 Senior Member Share Posted February 4, 2014 Yes, this is generally true taking into consideration what Spanker mentioned. If they are a recommended doctor on this forum with numerous successful cases documented and little to no negative feedback you will likely get what you pay for. FUE in Turkey with the recommended docs seems to be a rule breaker currently, as it's quite cheap go dense or go home Unbiased advice and opinions based on 25 plus years of researching and actual experience with hair loss, hair restoration via both FUT & FUE, SMP, scalp issues including scalp eczema & seborrheic dermatitis and many others HSRP10's favorite FUT surgeons: *Dr. Konior, *Dr Hasson, Dr. Rahal HSRP10's favorite FUE surgeons: *Dr. Konior, *Dr. Bisanga, Dr. Erdogan, Dr. Couto (*indicates actual experience with doctor) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Transhair Posted February 4, 2014 Senior Member Share Posted February 4, 2014 There's plenty of Indian/other cheap doctors who have great results, and here in Australia the prices are extremely expensive (I could bring me and a friend to India, stay for 12 days and get like 2500 grafts for cheaper than just an AUS surgery) and I haven't heard many people raving about the result. I'd say it's more smart shopping than getting what you pay for... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member JimmyNeutron Posted February 4, 2014 Senior Member Share Posted February 4, 2014 From what I have seen from Dr. Dogonay and his similarly successful countrymen, you get what would otherwise be a $20k-30,000 dollar FUE operation for like $8-12k+? I agree with the poster above, it's all about smart shopping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
