consult and opinion


Recommended Posts

Hello,

I was looking for a HT surgeon and had an online consult with more than 10 doctors.

2 of them told me that I need 10000 grafts but they can only harvest 4000,

other 3 told that I don't have enough donor area, rest of them offered from 4000 to 5000 grafts. Now I'm confused and not sure if I have to schedule an appointment for a surgery. I really don't wanna go with BHT.

I don't know what to do.:confused:

You have advanced hair loss, friend. Please don't go to Bosley, but realize that no matter where you go that tempered expectations must be in order.

 

I see you've cropped your hair, have you considered trying micropigmentation to make it look as though you've adopted a buzzed hair cut and have a full head of hair?

 

I'd investigate that, it would be eons cheaper than a transplant and would not be limited by your donor supply.

 

You may very well need 10k grafts to create a realistic density across your scalp, if your donor only has 4k you'll only have enough for a modest hairline and frontal restoration.

thank you for reply,

I had a consult with Dr.Hakan Doganay, Koray Erdogan, Rahal, Yaman, Karadeniz, Keser, Feriduni and pending Bisanga.

I was more concerned about vertex and crown area, not sure how it will look like if I get 50% on top and back, 50% for front and hairline.

And I'm deciding between Dr.Rahal and Dr.Yaman

That strategy will not give you good coverage and will look incredibly thin, I doubt either doctor will oblige this.

I agree and there is just not enough donor for the crown and frontal zone.
