Hair transplant advice- who to choose in UK?


Recommended Posts

Hi there. I’m new to this forum and I would like to choose FUE hair transplant clinic in UK.
I was initially going to go with Wimpole Clinic and they quoted me £6000 for 2000 grafts. Upon going through some threads, I have seen that it has some really bad reviews and thank God I came here as I was rushing to get my hair done. I have come across few names in UK. Kindly suggest which one should I go for.
 

I’m also due to see Harley street hair clinic after 3 days which also suggested 1800-2000 grafts for around £7500 through online consultation.

Dr farjo somehow does not appeal much to me. I have sent him query so lets see how he replies. 
 

Dr ball seems to be really expensive and same applies to Dr Reddy as well. 

i had also consulted with HLC turkey and they quoted me 2800-3200 grafts for front half with dense packing at 2.5€ per graft. 
 

ASMED turkey quoted me 5000 grafts for  € 12,500 Lolllllll :) 

 

I’m personally more inclined towards Harley street hair clinic but im open to suggestions and I might consider to go belgium or spain. Not too sure about USA. I have attached my current condition for your consideration

You should definitely consider Dr. Reddy, he’s doing really good work. Check out Mike Thurston on YouTube and Life of Steve.

Dr Reddy yes! Please do some research on this forum before you make any decisions.

Im in the Uk but I have travelled to get my FUE hts after having x2 not so good FUTs here.

look at the recommended Drs and consider travelling (when we can) there are some pretty good options open to you looking further afield.

@JohnAC71 going through forum, i believe dr Reddy charges around £4-5 per graft which would make my surgery go around or above £10,000 (if 2000 grafts) which is out of my budget. I’m considering around £6000-7000.

 

seriously considering HLC turkey once travel restrictions are lifted. What do you say?

also waiting for Dr Bruno from portugal.

@Melvin-Moderator could you tag some experienced members hear to help the brother out. Thanks :)

You should consider Dr. Bisanga in Belgium, he also has a clinic in Athens which charges around 2.5 per graft. Also, definitely check out Dr. Maras with HDC, believe he has a similar price. Check out at @Doron Harati his repair with Dr. Maras was pretty epic.

Having said that, save more money, again you don’t want to choose a clinic just because they’re in your budget, you wanna choose them because you thinking they’ll be the best.

I have had 5 Hts already but am considering Eugenix for my next. For me I don’t mind travelling as they are based in India.

I have spent years looking through results (good and bad) choosing the right Dr is so important. We all only have a limited amount of grafts to use.

I also agree Dr Maras should be considered.

^ Eugenix is also an excellent choice, they really have a lot of home runs on this forum.

@Raza the consensus in this forum is that Dr. Reddy is the best choice in the UK but he’s overpriced due to his UK location. You can get the same or better results if you travel abroad. 

HLC is also a great option but I regard @Dr. Bruno Ferreira better at donor management and he uses a smaller punch than HLC. 

Dr Arika at Eugenix is also great and for 1.8€/graft it’s really the most affordable quality Doc in the world doing a highly skilled technique DHT. However I consider Dr. BF and HLC to be superior because they both open the hole/slit and immediately implant the graft while with DHT at Eugenix they do pre-made slits that I’m not fond of because they immediately start to close after opened therefore the punch must be wider (this technique is used mostly by Doctors that just do the pre-made slits and then have the techs do the implanting).
However, at Eugenix the pre-made slits stay open for a very small amount of time due their DHT technique (far superior to standard pre-made slits technique most Doctors use to avoid having their techs screwing up).

If you can get Dr. Bisanga to do your surgery for 2.5€/graft that’s also great but I believe he charges 5€/graft like Dr. Lorenzo. The clinic in Athens charges 2.5€/graft but I don’t think you get Dr. Bisanga for that price and like all surgeries what matters is the Doctor doing the surgery.

While Harley Street Clinic is one of top ones as well in UK along with Dr. Reddy & Dr. Edward Ball, I would strongly advise against UK clinics. Generally what I found is they're estimating less grafts than other clinics in EU or Turkey/India as they know how expensive it is. Don't get me wrong, they can achieve great result with smaller amount of grafts, but In your case 2000 grafts won't do much I believe. You will still need to go for a touch up later on, while elsewhere you could get away by having only 1 procedure with around 3500-4000 grafts.
(just my non-doctor opinion from many many observations).

I would suggest Dr. Lorenzo if you can afford as he is undoubtedly one of the best in the world and will manage your donor well.
Also worth looking into Dr. Ferreira like Portugal said. He is currently working with Dr. Lorenzo as well as in his own clinic in Portugal. I personally had procedure done with him earlier this year and so far I'm at 4.5 months and I'm extremely happy with both donor and recipient.
If you want to reduce expenses a bit further look into Eugenix in India. They're producing quite great results.
Dr. Bhatti in India is also a great surgeon know to produce amazing coverage with small amount of grafts (however, I'm not particularly a big fan of his hairlines), but his job on high NW is very good.
There are quite a few amazing docs like Dr. Lupanzula, Dr. Couto, Dr. Bisanga, Dr. Maras etc. with slightly different approaches etc.

It's really worth investing some time and learn more about all of them and understand why they're different between each other and which doctor is actually best for your particular case. Once you understand what exactly you need you will find surgeon who would suit your case the best.

A mate of mine used Harley Street and honestly you’d barely knew he had it done, the results were that poor- barely any of the grafts survived and I believe he paid £6k+ for a 2k grafts. My personal opinion is to go abroad, will save yourself a few £ and will end up with results that you will be very happy with, rather than go within the UK, have poor results you’ll be disappointed with and you’ll have wished you went abroad. But obviously do your research and look into the recommended surgeons on here

From my point of view: If you want to tackle the entire area the 5000 FU of ASMED are more realistic than all other numbers given. 

That said: I am always recommending going in smaller steps especially if you looking into FUE. Depending on your age you should also look into strip surgery (FUT), as your crown is dipping very deep! Hattingen in Europe or H&W could be clinics to contact. Do you have pics from your sides?

Hello, I had my repair\2nd HT at HDC (Cyprus) clinic by Dr. Maras (first failed HT was in Arenamed in Turkey).

Besides Dr. Maras, we also have Dr. Christina for lesser price, Maras is the the repair specialist, I estimate first HT procedure of 2800-3500 grafts, we will exam your donor area in a video call more precisely.

Our price also includes accommodation in apartment and 5 days of cleaning ALL scubs.

You are welcome to consult with me on private, my details in my signature

@Rolandas @Portugal25 @JohnAC71 @Melvin-Moderator Thank you all for your messages. I will try to reply to your messages in one go. Also, what's everyones take at FINASTERIDE? side effects and does it really prevent further hair loss? I'm considering following clinics.

1. Dr Bisanga

Just had message from Dr Bisanga recommending me 3500-4000 grafts with dense packing (excluding crown) at 4 euro/graft which makes it at whooping 14,000-16,000 EUR. Wayyyyyyyy out of my budget. They have also suggested 2.5 EUR/graft if I go to greece and Dr Bisanga gets assisted with another doctor (not a technician) 

2. Dr Bruno

I have submitted my photos to Dr Bruno and lets see what he says.

3. Harley Street Hair Clinic

I'm due to see Harley Street Hair clinic on Monday 15th June. So fingers crossed.. @Sijac09considering HSHC as @spex had it done from here.

4. Maitland (Dr Ball)

Also waiting for them to get back to me.

5. HLC Turkey

2800-3200 grafts at 2.5 EUR/graft with dense packing and covering midscalp and frontal (not crown).

6. Eugenix

in total quoted me 5000 grafts. 3000 for front+mid scalp and 2000 later on for crown at 2.2 EUR per graft. I know it is the cheapest and they are producing great results and I'm not too sure of visa policies to travel India.

7. Dr Reddy.

They are really busy until July and I would have to wait for consultation.

8. Dr Madras

Waiting for his reply as well. 

Only reason I'm looking into UK is firstly, due to travel restrictions and secondly if I could finance my surgery, it would be much easier for me to afford.

After reading through your posts, and gathering a general consensus of your story/requirements - I'd highly recommend enquiring about an FUT with Hattingen in Switzerland. 

Budget wise they'l still be over your pre-planned budget, however cheaper than every quote you will receive from the UK clinics and BHR's quote. 

Quality wise they are very good, and I feel you may benefit greater from an FUT in your particular case - and they are the european champs for this. 

Your hair calibre looks good, and you also seem to have a good beard aswell, which may provide useful down the line for BHT - however I'm not sure how much your crown seems to be dipping, and you have extensive hairloss for your age. 

If your heart is set on FUE, and your budget is still of concern - then Eugenix seem to be doing pretty well at the moment with high NW mega sessions, there are a few good cases on the forum at the moment from them - look for @Paddytheirishman and @Zoomster

Good luck, do your research, and take your time, and please don't rush into anything. You're not a straightforward case, however I believe you will get a great result in the right hands!

Hi Raza,

After having a HT In 2017 with Dr Reddy and his team I could not be any happier with how it went and it turned out.

I had less hair than you and had 2150 grafts implanted and over the moon with the results to this day.

Best of luck...

Hi Raza,

I think the most up to date cost per hair (they work out the cost per hair not per graft) is on the private clinic Website I don’t want to mislead if the cost has now changed since I had my HT done (it wasn’t cheap though and a lot for me as I’m not a high earner, but glad I waited and saved up to see Dr Reddy as he out passed all my expectations) as my hair loss was so advanced I new I had to make the most of my donor (didn’t want to do fut due to the scar) I have shaved down to a grade 2 and there is no sign what so ever of any fue scars at a grade 2 hairdresser and partner both can not see a thing (donor healed up within a few days see the photo in the below thread).

I used Finasteride and minoxidil for a while but due to sides had to give them up about 16 months ago, lucky hair has stayed the same; but I was a nw6 at the time of the HT.

It was a huge cost but I believe due to the results, due to my NW6 state and only using 2150 grafts it was worth every penny as you I can’t get back lost donor hair lost whatever reason; but thank god I can work hard and earn money but can’t buy donor hair etc.

After looking here on this website for a long time now, looking at 100s of results from amazing surgeons around the world  I don't think I would have got a better result for the amount of grafts used anywhere in the world to be honest.

I would also like to note although it’s very expensive with Dr Reddy and his team (there was Dr Reddy and two of his team with me for all of my HT)  it was done over two full days, I was very happy it was done slowly and over two days; I believe this is a testament to Dr Reddy and his team trying to get perfection; I’m sure Dr Reddy could of done this in a day if he wanted to (I hope you understand my chain of thought here) it’s not all about the money.

Have a look here :-

Keep us posted Raza! What was the deciding factor? 

I think UK clinics can be a complete roll of the dice like Turkey. I've seen a couple of clinics on Harley Street who are offering unlimited grafts cheap. How are grafts unlimited ?? 😂

@HairFunk yeah even from UK few clinics are offering around 2,000 for unlimited grafts and I believe they are partly operated by branches of clinics in Turkey. I have not seen any bad review of HLC and their results are awesome. My main concern was frontal hairline design which I  believe they do it perfectly. My other choice for Dr bruno. Dr Bisanga, Dr Reddy and Dr Ball were out of my budget range. Eugenix is too far for me. So I decided to go for HLC.  @Melvin-Moderator @Portugal25 @JohnAC71 @Rolandas 
 

if anyone can tag me HLC surgery cases, that’d be great

@Raza the italian forum has dozens of patients posting their results at HLC.

However, I would never chose HLC over Dr. Bruno Ferreira unless I needed a beard mega session (HLC is amazing with beard mega sessions).
