Regular Member SJPayne Posted March 14, 2021 Regular Member Share Posted March 14, 2021 Hey guys I posted on here a couple of months ago and was advised the best way to get the maximum amount of my remaining grafts was to have fut again. Could you recommend a good FUT surgeon in Europe? I was originally looking at dr bicer when I was looking at fue but don't see any results from her doing fut. Look forward to your recommendations Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Britanium Posted March 14, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted March 14, 2021 Dr Bisanga would be a good choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excellent Dr and very reasonable at £3 per graft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s not to take anything away from the others. We have seen more of his recent work than any of the others. It’s always good practise to consult with at least 3 different clinics and then make a informed choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted March 15, 2021 Administrators Share Posted March 15, 2021 For FUT, you’d need to leave Turkey. Do you live in Turkey? Why are you looking specifically in Turkey?

Senior Member champybaby Posted March 15, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted March 15, 2021 Hey man I saw your pics ... The truth is you will require several procedures, need to hop on meds and should absolutely go FUT/FUT for your first two. I'd go as far as saying this is non negotiable for you. I understand that you are looking at cost, but that needs to be removed from your equation. Speak with respected surgeons, get estimates and then look at cost before making a choice. To help narrow your search, start by speaking with doctors who have a proven track record performing FUT. It's unlikely you will find many in Turkey, though I'm sure some exist. Really do your due diligence on these docs. That means searching for patient posted reviews and ignoring results posted by the doctor on social media, their website, etc. The reality is doing this right will cost you more than whatever it is that you want to spend. That likely means waiting longer to have your first procedure. You have significant hair loss so this won't be a one and done thing. If this doesn't sound ideal, then it might be best not to get a surgery altogether. I'm not trying to be mean. Sincerely providing you with critical information so you can make the right choice. Good luck.

Good luck. Hi Champy i appericate your feedback. i have already had one FUT in the UK. which the results didn't really impress me at all, maybe i was expecting too much. unfortunately in terms of meds i have tried propecia and started having side effects so i stopped, what else can you recommend in terms of meddication/shampoos to slow my current hair slow. i will start do look into FUT surgeons, i suppose ill start with the 3 Melvin mentioned , let me know if you have any others to add. Feriduni, bisanga, and Arshad kind reagrds Sam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member champybaby Posted March 16, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted March 16, 2021 Personally, I would suggest taking fin at night before you go to bed and seeing how you respond. Wake up with a pitched tent, for instance, and you'll realize it's all in your head. If you still experience sides, then there is a topical solution many around here have found success with. I would also suggest minox, but given your hair loss that might not be worthwhile. The skill of a surgeon is the largest contributing factor, but the good ones cost money to see. You need to ask yourself if that investment is worthwhile for you and again, you're at least a two procedure patient, imo. Apologies if the delivery comes off as mean; I'm not being mean. I'm just giving honest advice so you can make the best decision for yourself. Good luck.

Regular Member SJPayne Posted March 16, 2021 Author Regular Member Share Posted March 16, 2021 yeah i think i will try minoxidil , just got to be strict on myself on doing it twice a day, do you think its worth a shot? will start looking into FUT surgeons .

Regular Member SJPayne Posted March 17, 2021 Author Regular Member Share Posted March 17, 2021 Hey guys been looking into getting on the preventative meds , So far minoxidil foam seems to be the far ill go for now ,i have read really good things about minoxidil in oral fourm and also Topical finasteride which seems to rule out nearly all side effects but i dont think there are available in the UK yet. DR bisanga's client coordinator recommended them. after speaking to DR bisanga's client coordinator as well as Dr Arshad's they both seem to surrgest different avenues rather than FUT and to look at FUE. which brings me back to speaking to Dr bicer again as this is what she originally recommended , i have contacted her for another call. i am amazed at some of her FUE procedures for excmaple this one which is a northwood 7 which seems to be a lot later stages than mine interesting to see what you think. kind regards Sam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
